Laying in darkness
With sand between my toes
I remember everything you told me
And taught me about the stars

Searching the galaxy
For the North Star
I smile thinking of you
When you shined just as bright

The breeze smells of ocean
While the waves crash on the rocks
I take everything in around me
Let my mind wander

Somewhere you may be doing the same
Looking at the same star
Thinking you miss me as much as I miss you
And remember the time you taught me about the stars.

Let me take your hand
Put yours on the small of my back
I will lead you through the steps
Let me show you how to dance

My music can move your bones
Move with me, move with me

I want you to have it all
I just want you to share it with me
My head rests on your shoulder
Your eyes still on another

My rhythm can heal you soul
Move with me, move with me

I know your reasons
Even when you don't
A broken mind of child
In the charming hands of man

This dance floor is ours
If you could just move with me, move with me

Becoming who you never wanted to be
The one's you always watch and see,

If.. Perhaps you've turned into one of "them"

...Struggling about for the truth,
It's never black and white,
Never quite as simple as his princess and her knight.

Confusion strikes a key of fear into every action you take.
Worried, so terrified you've made a critical mistake.

Windows shatter as violence erupts within,
an inner concience reigns upon logical thought.

You attempt to resist, but...
...see no reason to doubt.

The conflict from within recides,
though,

There will forever be a part that's screaming for change,
For the change you never would have wanted in the first place.

A chilling breeze touches your face
Eye's blinded by the dusty powder

Your heart beats at an un-even pace
As if affected by the abstruse silence

Louder and louder it gets
warmth from your person exerts into the air around you
Chills run through gashes in your clothing, distinctly smelling of cigarettes
In the distace, echos of chattering and shivering
bounce back from the white, icy layers askew

A toe, Then a heel
The ghost of heat that surrounds the body is gone
Gusts of algid nothingness blow in your face by a small pinwheel
Darting pupils reveal scintillating lights,
Appearing one second and vanishing with the dawn

Something embeded in the mind, forever dormate throughout seasons,
The silence, the serenity, the solace of winter

I think I'm falling for you
simple as that.
There hasn't a day gone by
that I didn't wish you weren't holding me
and called me yours.

When I'm with you
everything feels right.
The world falls into place;
I can smile
and really mean it.

I'm aching for you inside
I wonder if you notice the way I look at you
or feel the same way I do.
You're one of a kind, boy
and you're absolutely perfect for me.

I would tell you everything--
the feelings I've bottled up inside.
I'd tell you my hopes and dreams--
the secrets I hold to myself,
that could never be exposed to the light of day.

But if I tell you,
you'd run away with it all
and give it to those around you,
they'll spread it like wildfire
expose it to where it doesn't belong.

And baby, I'm strong
but I can't trust anyone.
To give it to the one I think I could trust,
you'd crush my heart and I'd cry myself to sleep.
And I'll falter. And I'll *break.

*This is not about anyone. I know my friends like to jump to conclusions. :P

Sickness beware,
I will be there,
Weakness watch out,
I'll be her crutch,
Sadness, oh you,
Can back away,
'Cause I'll keep her from your rain,
Anger, calm down,
I will stay my ground,
Fear, fear me,
dare not come near me,
Forget about failure,
Lose all the lies,
All you demons beware,
For her,
I'll be there.
