I wish I could carry on and be on my way.
But the burning in my heart won't fade away.
The way that you are won't let me forget.
You are as colorful as a West Texas Sunset.

You're always on the move and can't stand still.
You are never satisfied and can't get your fill.
But loving you is something that I'll never regret.
The colors of my heart bleed like a West Texas Sunset.

I don't even know where you are this very day.
But my love for you will never completely fade away.
There is only one you more that I'll ever expect.
And my heart stretches further than a West Texas Sunset.

I know you're riding on a horse with your long dark hair.
You will always keep riding until you reach the thin air.
The pieces of my broken heart I will gather and collect.
And my horizon will be wider than a West Texas Sunset.

I know that I have things to look forward to.
There is no since in walking around being blue.
I know this for a fact and it is surely true.
And moments like these are only but a few.

I have made an assessment on what needs to be done.
This ain't nothing new and I'm not the only one.
To tear down the walls and overcome my fears.
And to leave behind me this trail of tears.

I will be very selective about anyone's advice.
I know they're thoughtful and trying to be nice.
But they have never walked a mile in my shoes.
And they have never known about singing my blues.

Everybody's different with a different story to tell.
My story is not something that I am trying to sell.
It's just the life I've been living for all these years.
And I will be walking tall beyond this trail of tears.

Everyday is a new day and that is a fact
But each day is harder to keep myself intact
Reliving each moment within shattered memories
It eats away my insides until there is nothing left of me

I know I have to be patient for all of this to pass
I know that this feeling will not always last
As the time passes the minutes feel like hours
And in all the sunshine my heart is in rain showers

But it is the precious rain that washes everything clean
The rain washes away and makes everything brand new
But in the midst of this it feels like there is no escape
I am trapped in my mind and it is my own life I can take

I hope that you all will keep me in your prayers
As I struggle with what has been and what will be
My mind and my heart keep playing musical chairs
Until the day arrives that I can finally be set free

I guess all good things come to an end
Writing poetry helps my heart to mend
Poetfreak is my home and always will be
Don't know what to do guess we'll wait and see

It tears me up to hear the bad news
It drives me deep down into the blues
I have met so many good friends indeed
There's always someone to confide when in need

I never talked to anyone from halfway around the world
Until I came here and the flowers in my heart uncurled
I don't want this to be goodbye I wanna be forever friends
And to walk in the light of life and love that never ends

But there is still a long way to go
And I will continue to let the poetry flow
I know there are other places but this is home to me
But I guess when it is finally over I'll have to let it be

I wish that I could give you a hug
And wipe the tears from your eyes
Sweep all the heartbreak under the rug
And find some truth out of the lies

I wish that I could give you a hug
So you know that everything will be alright
I hope I can bring a smile to your mug
Whatever it takes to make things right

I wish that I could give you a hug
Though I know that you are so far away
But distance is nothing for my heart to lug
Always hoping to see you some sunny day
