spread your wings,
     and fly
you've got to try


use the light as your guide,
     and glide
soar through the sky
like a nighttime butterfly


you're mystical
   and magical
in more ways than one


your wings glitter in the night,
    or in the sun


fly, fly, fly away
fly to welcome
   another day

empty walls.
  time stalls.
    isolation.
     crowded halls.
      busy malls.
       anxiety.
        five hundred miles per hour in my head.
time.
space.
           gone.
so many,
        and yet,   so few.
me, me, me,
    now you.
inhale, exhale,
     breathe.
      blink.
      function.
dysfunctional . . .
brain drain, what's your name?
sleep.

itch a scratch
  light a match
    strike a conversation
      take a shot
        make it hot
          sweet anticipation
            keeping tempo with a song
              several hours long
            beautiful creation
          talk to you
        for a day or two
      end communication
    goodbye
  don't cry
bitter manipulation

hot chocolate fantasies
peppermint insanities
keep me warm when im cold
make me young when im old
sweet enticements
sugary excitements
make it real when i dream
stitch me up at the seam
joys and sorrows
yesterdays and tomorrows
this is all for you
ill prove its true
remember me
sweet memory

sitting here
  alone
wishing someone were here
  all i want is love
    all i want is for someone to be near
i just want to hold a hand
i just want to feel arms around me
i want to share my thoughts
i want someone to speak openly
i want to share opinions
i want a common ground
i don't want fights with anyone
i want the music
  not the sound
i want a companion in life and death
i want someone to always be there
i want someone to have and to hold
i want someone to care.

when nothing is right
  will you be my wrong

there's nothing in sight
  the birds have no song

i'll close my eyes
  to dream of you

will the sun rise
  will we make it through

tomorrow, tomorrow
  will the world end

let me borrow
  let me comprehend

give me sight
  into the future i'll see

i will ignite
  we will be free
