As you sing me a lullaby goodnight
I melt into your arms
I swear till I'm dead
That you were my godsent knight'
Oooh, oooh
Godsent knight

We don't need a castle
We just need some faith
And a little love
Love, love
My godsent knight
Oooh, oooh
Godsent knight

You heal my spirit
Better than any pill
Oooh, oooh
Turn my pale cheeks red
Yeah yeah yeah

My Godsent Knight

Rainy day
Trees crashing on my window pane
I'm here
Thinking about lately
And thinking maybe
We could be

So I called you up
And asked you the question
That I've been wanting for so long
To say
And I hear your voice fade away on the line
And you say "Sorry, I just can't Caroline."
That's not fine

So now I'm sitting here
Drowning myself in chocolate
And tears
Dreaming
Oh dreaming about what we could have been
And sitting here
Wallowing in my misery

I thought I had you figured all out
I thought you could love me without a doubt
But you just leave me empty
And so I sit here
At my window
Dreaming of you

Well, friend
I guess in the end
You couldn't love me
Like I wanted you to
Or be who you wanted you to be
Silly stupid me...

I saw you there
In the coffee shop

For some reason
Even across the room
I felt your chocolate eyes calling me

You "accidently" bumped into me
Closing the distance
Between you and I
Knocking me off balance
You helped me steady myself once again
Clutching my hand
If only for a second

That small flirtation
Meant everything to me
I wasn't exactly having the best day
And an nice, sweet guy always makes my day.

My heart opened and never closed
From there out.
It just grew
And unlocked its compartments
For you.

I've been feeling like a void today
An empty shell
Walking without purpose
Writing without urgency

My fire is dim today
No logs of interesting knowledge
To fuel the flames
Only gray ash
Same schedule
And you wonder why I drag

I am seriously bored today
My music isn't playing
No one wants to talk to me
Why?
I don't know.

We were fading out
From red to pink to white
I just didn't feel the butterflies anymore
I felt the tears in my eyes
Flowing in definite streams
Breath shaking
As I said goodbye
You hid behind a shield
That I pierced straight through to your heart
Your long hair hid the tears
As they fell
Smearing your shirt
You spoke our final words
"Goodbye, but I still love you."
Those syllables
Tore my chest open
And ripped my heart from it
He never spoke to me again,
But I still remember that day
And those words
And the heart abuse.

A friend of mine
Recently asked me a perplexing question:
"Why do you write?"
At the time, my answer was:
"Because I want to express myself."
But the more I thought about the question,
The less sure I was that my answer was sufficient.
Why I write is more complex than that.

I write to tell the stories
That I wouldn't dare say aloud.
People don't care to listen anyway.

I write to free myself,
To go beyond my ****** anchor,
And be something more.

I write to assure myself,
That someone cares about what I have to say,
When I'm lonely.

I write to keep away boredom,
When my mind is going nowhere fast,
And my day is crap.

I write to let it all out,
In the best times and the worst.
No matter what holds me back in life,
Nothing contains me here.

The sun is shining
The birds are twitter around
More than everyone after Miley's MTV performance

Schools are closed
Businesses are closed
The city is shut down
Because of a coating of ice
No thicker than my ring finger
That's Texas for you

I get to avoid all that
Homework
Those teachers
On a Monday morning

Isn't it an ice day?
