My soul is like a dancer
moving through life, graceful;
spinning only in the storming of the wind.
Fleeing flying floating, I make it all look easy,
though the pain inside is my most faithful friend.
A good pirouette makes the whole world soon forget
that I am not as well as I would seem...

My soul is like a dancer,
lost inside the music.
Must it always be a song in minor key?
Come and dance beside me, brighten up the music.
Don't you know that you're the only one I need?

Oh yes, you're the one.
You are the only one.
I knew, before I knew, that I could dream.
To long for, to sigh for
to live for and die for,
till all the lights on the stage burn away,
My Love.

Me
I got unruly hair,
And I got a blank-slate stare.
I got electricity running through my veins,
Trying to make a break for my remains.

I got a heart falling out of my chest
And I got a night lacking of rest.
I got a paper full of erasable feelings,
Trying to break the glass ceilings.

I got spiders climbing up my walls,
And I'm making circles round these square halls.
I got a hazy, crazy memory
Trying to set the beast within me free.

Yet, I can't remember
What happened yesterday or last December.
All I got to my name
Are my words--which are all the same.
This is a bio--inspired by Pink Floyd's Nobody Home

You couldn't see my tears
So you believed I hadn't cried

You couldn't hear my words
So you believed all my lies

You couldn't feel my heart break
So you believed I was fine

I wasn't happy
So I did cry

I wasn't good enough
So I did lie

I wasn't strong enough
So I did die

I cared too much to tell you the truth
You didn't care enough to see I was lying

Beginning my quest into darkness

The coming of late night

I know it's about the time

I will fall and fall and fall

To the pit of sorrow

And guilt

Every word I ever said, ever heard

Will force itself into the space behind my eyes

Causing the same ache

That is repeated immeasurably

Thoughts forcing their way out

By bruising the inside of my skull

Something I will always feel

I wish, I wish
To see afar
Way beyond the northern star
To glimpse of wonders
Not made by chance
Or us, mankind, somehow in advance
But by He who holds us in his arms
Loving, loving, warding off harm
So may I not, or if I may
See the wonders of today
I faithfully remain
Where I stand
Forever held by His own hand
No wish, no wish
One can make
Could take me to a happier place

I try to write a poem
about the things you did to me,
but I can't find the words
to tell you how I feel.

You left me broken hearted.
You never loved me back.
You only gave me false hopes,
and you even let me fly.

But who knew you wouldn't catch me
when I started to fall?
I thought you were my safety net.
I thought I didn't have to call.

Now the only thing I feel
is you never cared for me.
You knew that if you called my name
I'd give you everything.

I hate you like I hate the cold
that now invades my heart.
If you try to talk to me
don't expect me to talk back.

Oh, please! Who am I kidding?
You know I still love you.
I do not mean those words I said.
I swear it isn't true.

You give me joy, you give me peace.
You make the sun shine bright.
You are the music in my ears,
the beating of my heart.

So what you dared to do to me
is nothing bad at all.
I'll tell you what you did to me.
You made me fall in love.

Meet me on the horizon,
where the sun's rays kiss the ground,
and we'll run away together
to a place we can't be found.
Just take my hand and trust your heart
and we'll step out of this town.
Meet me on the horizon,
its a place we can't be found.
