Your lips infiltrate my soul.
Your breath on my neck, hands on my waist.
It's taking a toll.
Not one thing makes sense, nothing at all.
I'm a bit dazed from that impacting fall.
You make all of my imperfections into something so flawless.
You take the words from my mouth,
I couldn't have said less.
And I couldn't have said more,
when my eyes caught yours.
Your body caressing mine like the waves on the shore.
Your passion is fire,
your love is demanding.
Just a little bit longer,  
that's all that I'm asking.
Sanity's a thing of the past.
Here one second, gone the next, the pace is getting kinda fast.
The screams are getting kinda loud with patience growing way too thin.
The steady struggle of consciousness with a mind that's growing way too grim.
It hurts, it hurts, ******* it hurts to fill this bottle with my pride.
The seasons change and I'm still strange,
these demons do not want to hide.
They want out, they want to play.
To make you tremble and cry.
They want to insert all the fear that I now feel inside.
Lacking freedom of the tongue, these words all taste like poison.
This is a war that can't be won, you're fresh out of choices.
This cage came with so many locks and adds more on each day.
Maybe I should try and contact that invisible man to which they pray.
Nah, that's just cray.
So I'll shrink myself down to a size that suits me.
I'll get real close to the ground,  an inch or two will do it.
Because that's what you do when the demons run loose.
You watch from afar like a coward.
Then you set yourself free with some height and a noose,
or take a dive off a tower.
They say that when it rains it pours,
So we get inside quick and we shut all the doors.
Well I leave my doors open and I stand out side.
I know you're not safe just because you are dry.
It feels so natural to accept the rain,
Knowing that with every loss there is gain.
Like the sun and it's warmth we unwillingly dismiss.
Not realizing that every raindrop is really a kiss.
Without the rain, what would we be?
Well we wouldn't have rainbows and we wouldn't have trees.
And without the trees we could not breathe.
So, without the rain, we would not be.
So before you leave to sob and mope,
About how it's raining and you've lost all your hope.
Take a munite or two,
Maybe three or five.
And appreciate the rain,
Simply because you are alive.
We are told to believe that in which we can not see.
They tell us that the earth is round and that there is a man in the clouds.
And we take their word, reluctant or willing.
The thought of being lied to is just so chilling.
You must have faith, no questions asked.
Well I'm sorry sir, but I see that grin behind your mask.
We need faith in ourselves.
The kind that you find within your soul and your mind.
Today is today, who knows about tomorrow? You don't know who's leading,
But surely you follow.
Because they are and she is and who wants to be different?
Yeah they might shine, but look kid, you glisten.
Like the diamonds and gems we feel the need to buy,
But they'll never outdo the starts in the sky.
Which we now also buy,
Because the words from your heart aren't worth the time.
Until you make them rhyme and now they're changing lives.
We're living in a fantasy, like our own little cave.
But trust me when I tell you, everyone's scared before they are brave.
The sweet scent of honey suckles amongst the moist summer air.
The sun is fading, slowly becoming one with the water, releasing colors that touch the soul.
From fields of the softest lavender, to the pink in her cheeks when you tell her she's beautiful, to the Reds and oranges of the flame you used to the light the candles when she told you that you were the one.
The warm breeze that gently caresses the surface of your skin.
The small orbs of light that dance along the shoreline just as the sun says it's last goodbyes.
A slowed down walk along the worn wooden boards that tell you it's okay to take a munite and breathe.
A simple munite to just appreciate, as all those who also appreciate.
Like the new found lovers looking for something that says I'll be yours if you'll be mine.
Or the old lovers who who've found a place that says I still remember why you're the one.
A place for the lonely hearts that need a place to feel and to heal.
And a place for the folks who find happiness in that of what others simply look past.
A little place that you kind of just stumble upon, like on of those days when you feel as if you've lost yourself completely.
So you just go.
And than you find it.
A small town where nothing and everything happens.
Where you can go when you're lost and leave feeling as if everything just makes sense.
I can't imagine that it's quite as bad as I'm making it out to be.
But it seems as though everyone's happy, except for possibly me.
I'll give it my all without thinking twice,
Just do what I have to do.
But when I return, please don't be surprised.
My familiar qualities will be just few.
Now I'll be in a good place, sheltered and warm,
Make a few friends along the way.
So please don't cry mom, this isn't for good,
I'll be back to hug you some day.
And it could be better, but definitely worse,
So who am I to complain?
I just wish that the days that I still have left
Weren't filled with terrential rain.
You'll be so happy, I'll be crisp and clean,
On the day that we meet again.
I just wish I could make you as proud now,
As I'm sure that you will be then.
I'm sure if I tried, I could make it through.
But it doesn't always appear that each day is new.
More often than not, the days blend to one,
Seeing no difference between the moon and the sun.
Waking up is a surprise,  when I don't recall falling asleep.
Why end it now, when I'm in so deep?
I know that I'm here and I'll leave my mark,
But there's not much I can do, working in the dark.
I should be happy, I should live in the now.
Sometimes I feel like I just don't know how.  
Being happy within guidelines doesn't seem like much fun,
So until I live free, I think that I'm done.
