All these aching hearts, and
Endless wars.
All these brave hearted warriors, and
Falling stars.

You cannot fight what you see.
You cannot fight what you believe.

Falling upon your sword.

My Dear Brave Heart,
You do not have to be brave anymore.
A beam may shine down
With a ray so bright
A star will come forward
In the dead of night

An angel gained
A distance apart
Our friendship lives on
In this space in my heart

I feel you,
You are close
You are always there


The glow of the sun
You are my star
My dear

A loss like this
Will not heal so soon

You light up  the sky

My sun
My star
My moon
What are they saying?
This simply cannot be!
These rumors are spreading
Do you know how much this hurt me?

All those kisses and
I love you's
Were they all lie?
I cannot even express
How I feel
All I could do is cry.
Every year I grow older
I realized
How old I am

Have you ever
Needed someone
So bad

Yet they aren't willing
To make it last

Sometime you gotta lose
To win again
It's in his shadow we plead
Under his wrath we bleed
His destruction leaks hate into the weak
Leaving the unsubstantial reaping his critique
His actions scorned through years of neglect
It's in his perception only, that we become wrecked
Why do we follow knowing wrong from right
Pushing those we love away from the light
His power is without doubt equal to the greats
Although derived from stray minded it opens the gates
The gates into the souls of those who are tattered
Turning old memories to ones now shattered
Although through it all, we have nothing to fear
For he is nothing more than a broken mirror
It just takes practice to realize his weakness
All his power is nothing to the strong but bleakness
It's in his own prison he will rot
Although it's up to us to become the Juggernaut

Oh, how I wish you could have been there.
For all the times before when I was alone and down on my luck.
For all the times I was on top of the world and in love with life itself.
I wish you could have been beside me to see all the beautiful things and places I have seen.
I wish you would have been there to hold my hand and comfort me when I needed someone.
I wish that I would have known you sooner.

But I look back on my life and its events, and all signs point to you.

Everything that has happened to me has lead me to you.
I look back on all the relationships that didn't work or friendships that fell through,
And all signs point to you.
You may not have been there for all the good and bad times, but I know that I will share the good and bad of the future with you.
All signs have guided me to you, and I didn't even know it.

You mesmerize
With eyes like the Sun; But
blind me, just the same.

For now I'm left in darkness, clueless
In Oblivion. The world
is now Invisible. So

You are all I see;
And You are all I can. So
more I stare in

Pain & Wonder

How you hypnotize
My mind. Now I stare and
wonder how I'm happy
Being blind.
