I will keep up the fight
with all my might
to make you stay
even if I have to--
put on a one-man-play

I will act my greatest scenes
just to cover up the secret,
--the scandalous secret--
that makes me feel complete

they can put two and two together
but I will avoid their questions
stepping around the cracks--
simply as light as a feather

to sneak, and sneak, and sneak
is what I do best,
and cover up the rest
right now I am at my peak
and I feel so weak

if they take you away
my sanity will not stay
and I will have to
live out the rest of my days
putting on a one-man-play

I surrendered to the demon
that resides in my broken heart
even though I thought
my struggle was over

Repeatedly I say
“I am okay, I am okay”
I know there is no worry
No sorrow, nor pain
or quite anything to gain

there is no luck
or fear, nor strife
things are rigid and bland

boring and ordinary
but that makes life
extraordinary

the little, the meager
the things that
leave you eager

simple, and strange
even the deranged
makes me crack a grin

looking at the future
working mysteriously
and leaving curiously

become an empty shell
and let everything
collapse and meld

forget things
move forward
dont hesitate
on the awkward

forgive and solve issues
clean bad blood
and keep things pure
and mature

dont linger
on the past
lets things fly fast

confusion is your
best friend
keep it close
and be a good host

stay empty
cause then you
are nothing
no one to bother
or smother

I want everyone to know that life isn't what it seems
Take pleasure in the little things
Keep the your spark alive day by day
And soon the world will take your breath away

The petals dance above me
Each swirling in its unique way
Everyone is a petal
Individual but the same
Each swirling on the same path
But each headed to a destiny
only they can fulfill

Some are lost, gone or destroyed
And the dance slows
Becomes less of magical
And soon none are left
No individuals
Just all the same
Petals falling off a tree

Our bodies share the same rhythm
Exploding with warmth and happiness
And the same soft whispering beat
I wish I could live in this moment for a life time
No words spoken and nothing acknowledged
Forever in sync next to you
Just knowing we are content
With each other
At this one moment in our lives
I wish it to be true; that you would agree
To be by me through this time in my life
I need someone like you, to guide me through
You make me feel content and believe in the future
I can confess my inner secrets and beliefs without any worry
You stay by my side; no matter the consequence
I can trust you, unlike other people
Listening is what you do best
And that shines brighter than any action
We are perfectly harmonized
Inside and out we fit together
I hope someday you will realize
I love you just as much as you love me

All I can think about,
are those words you left downtown--
on the paved walkway where we frolicked.

I want to return there,
so those few words can be found--
I want to hear them roll off your tongue.

Slowly my brain will churn and think of a response,
a response that may be easy, or it may not--
and you thought I would have forgotten.

No way,
and someday--
we will go retrieve them.
