Dear Whoever,
She left me in the growing dark,
as she left on me, her mark.
Left me wanting more,
as those train doors slowly closed.

The train was close to desolate.
In my heart, I knew I could not sit.
She said her name was karen.
I told her mine, and said I wont lie.

Something inside me told,
My words did not hold.
I took out some paper,
and wrote her a little note.

The moon was above the leaves,
while I read the note from Steve
His words clung to me
I was into him undoubtedly.

Before I could even reply
the notes became a stead supply
I still wanted him
But something was wrong

Nine papers and countless words
Not replying is beyond absurd
I knew that my voice,
Was just a dying effort.

One week and no reply,
For wisdom, I looked to the sky
Nothing was apparent
except for the blue and clouds

I replied after the ninth letter
Hoping to make everything better,
I wrote it quick
Hope he understands

At this envelope, for so long I stared
Wondering if I was being fair.
I was concerned for Steve as,
I dropped it in the mailbox

Her letter came, at last!
I opened it utterly fast
I knew her words would be kind
An inch down, was the starting line

Another girl I almost had
I stand alone, and feel so bad
The moon was rising;
I was falling from this window ledge

Will the wind blow cold?
Whatever comes our way
on that faithful day

Will I have seen it all
feeling no regrets?
Will my life have to fall?

Will the skys morn in grey?
Frozen earth and forgotten trees
We'll all be in a deep freeze

Will my life be grow fair
Without love that's a morning dove
flying away somewhere?

During the renaissance
will we have a response
Who will be there to taunt?
To rule and to voice
will we be left to rejoice
or is their something else we want?

It was only yesterday
I can remember my loneliness
Until I saw my sunshine
Going down across the way

The moon shines bright
Against those evening clouds
When they clear and steer away
That’s where majestic go and fly

My shadows circle and die
Even they utter and cry
No matter how hard you try
You can’t have all your dreams

An occasional reckless scream
In the distance I try to listen
Mixed morals sound and glisten
Shut my eyes while I try

The suns usual rotation
A God or natural creation
Understanding Life and above
Is like capturing your love

Even those that taught you so
Tell you not to lie but theirs glow
Whether it’s a songbird or a crow
Sometimes you got to let it flow

The sky always waits
No matter how bad the wake
Never ever trying to take
You, me, and nothing more

My mind toggles and boggles
Good and bad being smuggled
Trying to erase and start anew
What’s left that I can see?

Shooting star across the way
Wishing that you’d stay
So I’ll never forget
That my sunshine’s gone away

lone like the light in a dark room
Is there anything that's in view?
My chances are just going to doom
Nothing in this light can leave a clue

Even if the sunshine lights upon me
It's just not enough to make me see
Life is not what others make it to be
Change the world with universal deeds

Alone like happiness in tragedies
Can anyone see the catastrophe?
The world I can't describe with certainty
Remember what you give is what you receive
Wish you luck when you decide to deceive

Even if happiness leaps into me
I'll always want something more to be
Nothing is nothing until it is seen
Change the world with universal deeds

Alone like peace during the wars
After it all, what is its ultimate cost?
To bad you can't just take off and soar
Although like life, not trying to be lost

Oh my forgotten sleep
Why do you remain so deep?
You keep me up of late
Why do you steady me in this state?
Even when I count sheep
Why do you curse me without sleep?
As I lay with a blank mind
When's the last time you've been kind?
It seems like endless ages
Why keep me locked in these cages?
Just wanting to see my dream
why act thoughtlessly supreme
The More and More I want to sleep
You go farther and farther deep

I stay up late at night
to catch the first glimpse
of the morning light

While the night goes
I look at the stars
for me, they stop to glow

Looking at your face
In the worn picture frame
on the old shelf space

I remember the nights
we'd stay up together
and catch the morning light

The morning's here
so unlike you to do
While the sky here is clear

I thought these feelings surpassed
In reality they never collapsed
I want to drop it all and take a chance
But it's he who holds your stance

Drop it all and fly with me
you'll never be happier, you'll see
You're everything I want it to be
All this is like a rough sea

I feel this definite connection
Such a natural selection
All the mean that affects you
Hurts me to the heart too

I stay up late at night
When there is no more light
Thinking of everything we said
Wishing mutual feelings weren't dead
