Did I tell you today how sorry I am?
I remember eating that last loaf of bread,
black bean and brown rice,
down Cherry Street one morning while I walked
myself to work.

Days gone by like tap, tap, tap down.

All my bad, bad days crept up on me.
Tears are fallin' now.
New days with snow light a way,
It's the big give away sale now,
Promise i won't crave what they were made to have.

Not mine, not mine,
do not covet, do not want.
Blessed with a cup of joe and a good son,
I do know what all that is worth.

Hold my hand please,
I'll need you in my hours of needs.

Time now to wait this out...
Life down for the winter.
Let the rhythm of our hearts
nurture the sweet blossom of love,
so that it may turn into bliss
dissolved from the night time air between us
and shower such rain which binds the growth of our love and roses
together.
I am something small
Never seen, always there
A reflection of another time
Wanting to feel, hear me
For I am a complication
I am someone but no one
One lost amongst the crowd
Just a drop in the ocean

you dressed me, with your woes
undressed me, chorused by my "no's"

whatever you wanted
I guess anything goes

you never listen to my plea
all you wanted was to be in me

I wanted to swim away
there are other fish in the sea

find them and bring them
back to me

find me a key
to set me free

never a word you heard
as you took your claim

as you breathed me in fire
and doused me in pain

to enter a dark cave
my light, you extinguished

some flames burn to bright
they lose the lust inside the light

I was enough to burn
though only for one night

you kissed my back
and loved me so sweet

made it hard to stand
to walk you need feet

you were there to take
and so you took

you never came back
not so much as a look

you journeyed in me
and then journeyed on

you weren't just going
you were long gone

I will never follow
for the shame will trace

every step I walk to find
but I know not a safe place

the eyes they watch
and the eyes they see

the eyes know not
what you wrought inside me

to tear and leave
and make a throne

I was just your house
I was never your home

a chance to live free
you spilled your lies inside of me

you saw what you wanted to
you don't look, you just see

if I slapped your cheek
would you feel the pain

would know my hands
would you know my name

so much disappointment
I reserved for our after's

still sweet I remember
the sound of our laughter's

to remember the days
when we were strangers

till I found out
you were a player

I loved you then bae
but no longer I know you

when the night comes
I know not what to do

I am lost in a sea of people
without you

save me, break me
either way

what is familiar
is a price to pay

over the oceans
I could hear your voice

and as you call
I make my choice

regrets to sweet
as these painful nights

I just want love
whether wrong or right
The five fingers are not equal
Yet, one is not more relevant than the other
All five are needed to make a fist.
