What’s it take to control a mind
Positive thoughts or compulsive lies
Positive thoughts are hard to keep
Compulsive lies make it hard to see
Trying hard to stay on track
Feel the past breathe down your back
Each new trouble has a role
Inside your mind; strengthens your soul
So what’s it take to control a mind
All this started with the thoughts of mine
I can think and I can know
My mind is mine ‘cause I say so

Like a pretty flower in a vase of water
I wilt
No more wind to blow my leaves
I sit still
Cherished at first glance
I’m flattered
Thrown in the trash
Nothing left of me
Don’t forget
I came from the roots
What’s left
Still growing tall for you
When needed
You go cut a bit more of me off
Again
There’s a pretty flower in a vase of water

I lie in the field and look to the stars
Wondering just how many there are
I realize how small this world truly is
My thoughts are like dust gone in the wind

Compared to the space that’s just right above me
Nothing seems important; not politics or even money
So why is it that we are all so trapped
In the little things that are gone in a snap

What’s this going on in my head
I’ve forgotten about what I said
Forever and always we’ll be together
It was the truth until our love I severed
I walk around in utter shame
Lost a perfect gift and I’m to blame
I would beat myself out of existence
But I am determined to fix this
Our love was strong, that I know
For when I have you close, my heart still glows
I do not expect to be forgiven
Just want you to know I hate the life I’m living
How much I wish I could rewind
I would go to the first time your eyes met mine
To win your heart is my life goal
It is worth more than anything, even my poor soul
I’m slowly dying is desperation
You were my blood, and especially my safe haven
Nothing compares to how much I crave you
My selfish ways caused me to leave you
It’s been so long now I feel like a stranger
I want to bring you close but I am a danger
I miss holding your soft and loving hands
I miss getting to kiss you whenever I can
There’s something in my heart that feels like an earthquake
It burns like fire, maybe cause hell is my fate
It’s caused from depression, the demon inside me
The only cure is a woman like you beside me
Third times a charm, well that’s some *******
I wasted my chances now in pity I sit
She has something special, a cute little spark
The words your about to hear come straight from my heart
Her beauty is magnificent, sent down from above
She has white wings that look like a dove
Her eyes they will trap you in sheer amazement
One cannot dream something more heaven sent
Her shy little whispers will give one chills
It travels through the body until the heart it fills
Her lips are like diamonds, her kisses are jewels
Whoever denies them is surely a fool
Her hugs are a cure for anything with pain
For the love she pours out is more than the rain
This poem does not have to mean anything special
Just what’s on my mind and doesn’t seem to settle

My heart beats to the rhythm of yours
And I lose myself in the light of your eyes
The pull between us acts as a magnet
No matter what is in our path, the pull never ends
And just like the moon pulls each wave to shore
Our hearts pull us close, in shine or in storm

My everlasting love for you is expressed in many forms
I can write you this poem, or sing you my song
But most of all, I want to be near you and feel you
Close to my heart is where you reside
I can hear your voice without telephone lines
Take my love and you’ll see the world with new eyes

My mind is controlled by the thought of you
I’m lost to the world but found by your love
Forgetting the problems brought on by the past
You are my present, my future, at last
This love has grasped me; I’m falling too fast
