My life is draining away
The clock is ticking to say
Why do I live this way?
Our time is running out. Live life.
Derek Wings May 2014
I don't express myself
Except for here
Where i put everything
Only to fall on deaf ears
Words written on paper
That no one hears
You'll never never know
Sums up all my fears
Inside the storm rages
But its all here
Written
inside these pages

Every minute I check
Always pretending
Like I felt a vibration
As I pull my phone from my pocket
And look with hesitation
I stare in the screen
Little green light in the top right
That's what I've been waiting for
That's the clue
I finally got a message
But its not even you
Derek Wings May 2014
why
This is the type of night
Where i can think with ease
Soothing and cool
As I lay on my back
a soft gentle breeze
asking questions of the stars
i even look to mars
as i stare in the sky
i sit and wonder
why?

I can see the future
i can see where this leads
And pain and regret
is all I see
but if i can ease your pain
even if just for a short while
ill take it all away
i would rather have had the chance
than nothing at all
this is my choice
so let me hold you
even though this ends in me being hurt
let me be your comfort
Derek Wings May 2014
A good life
is a compilation of bad decisions
and risks taken
no regrets for the life i've led
my only regret
is what's left unsaid

Let's take a hike
let's go on a journey for life
no car or bike
this journey ends in you being my wife

I know you have a lot of baggage
but its good that your prepared
so of the mountain dont be scared
If your load is too heavy
then your load i will carry
put it on my shoulders
just think of them
as your pain holders

and when your baggage starts to hold us back
as our connection grows older
we will take a peak in your pack
and take out all the boulders
everything that no longer matters
ill take all away
ill even remove his dagger
from where he stabbed you in the back

sometimes we will go left
cause not everything is right
this mountain is tall
sometimes we will have to fight
Its an uphill battle
and the journey is long
you will feel tired and weak
but i will keep you strong

Remember this is a hike
and we're climbing by foot
there's only one rule
don't stay put

This is a journey for life
that ends in you being my wife
so get your baggage
bring what ever you like
and whenever your ready
let's take a hike
