Hey, I'm having a rough one today
Do you have some time?
There's so much on my mind
And I need to let it out
'cause I don't want to feel this way again

Hey, I thought I could use a friend
Can you hear me out?
You seem to be someone
Who's easy to talk to
It's okay
You don't have to listen

Just stay
I will pretend
That you're someone who actually cares
You don't have to listen
Just pass it on the other ear

Hey, isn't it a great day today?
I found something new
I wanna share it with you
Don't tell anyone
It's confidential
But if you don't want to listen
It's okay

Hey, you seem to be having a bad one today
Tell me what's on your mind
But if you don't want to
I will understand
I'll be around if ever you need a friend

I will stay

And I will not pretend
Be someone who truly cares
Just tell me
I will listen
Tell you what you need to hear
And I will stay
This here is a song, like most of my compositions are. This was created as a birthday present for a good friend of mine.
What started with a lie must end the way it began
But if all you wanted was the truth
All you had to do was ask

And the truth is that I would die for you
Because I'm not the one you find worth living for
And I'll just sing it out till every bit of heartache
Dies with every memory of you

And as my dying lungs start to fail me now,
It's your face that I see
And I believe it's to you
I owe my final words to

What started with a lie must end with a lie

And as your first teardrop for me
Falls from your eyes,
I take my cue
So listen close
Because I'm just going to say this once,
"I don't love you."

*What started with a lie must end with a lie
This here is a song, like most of my compositions are. Here we go again.
I miss writing poetry
But the weather demands for art
To find beauty in every fallen tree
And color in a broken heart

I miss writing poetry
But the words they elude me
They found what it means to be truly free
And choose to be or not to be

I miss writing poetry
But my inspiration's not what it used to be
Been a couple of months since my latest entry
Into my poetic potpourri

I miss writing poetry
But the palette's got a hold on me
And if pictures paint words, a thousand and three
I'll just pick up a brush and let the words draw me
I don't remember
The first time I felt this way
But it didn't happen all at once
It came gradually
With every song you sang
With every smile that came my way
I don't remember
But I know that it's not going away
It keeps getting worse everyday
I'm running out of words to say

You came with the summer sun
At that camp I was asked to videotape
But I didn't notice you back then
I wish it stayed that way
I wouldn't have been hurting this way
But for now I'm stuck here
Singing old love songs
Writing poetry of unrequited love
As I'm drowning in these thoughts
Of the siren who stole my heart

I don't remember
The first conversation that we had
But I do recall
I may have lied to you
When I said that I don't know how to sing
You'll Be in My Heart
And it just ***** to think
What may have been my first words were lies
This here is a song, like most of my compositions are. Here we go again.
Seems everything happened yesterday
Your tears, my wrongs, our come what may
And here I am now, and there you are
An inch too close yet a mile too far

Seems everything happened yesterday
Your smiles, my songs, our forever and a day
Yet these things failed to outweigh
The tragedy of love that came our way

Seems everything happened yesterday
A day too late, and you're gone away
But if history repeats, I hope it does
Reconstruct my heart to the way it was

Seems everything happened yesterday
But you seem much happier today
And it's all too sad for this still holds true
I miss us every time I look at you
You think you found me
But it was I who found you
I was here from the beginning, you see
I was here all along
The world, my tune
The universe, my song

Sticks and stones, I created them all
From the wheel to the Great Wall
As old as time, I am
Long before Babylon
I've seen it rise
I've seen it fall
I was the foundation after all

From kings to philosophers and poets of old
I immortalized them
Made them more precious than silver and gold
Papers and pens were all it took
And words, ah, most importantly the words
And forever they live in history books

I am one, and I am all
Yet you dare have me exclusively
And chain me in patents of my own laws
Oh, the greed of man shall be his downfall
What is money? What is fame?
Such things won't last, what a shame

Insolent man,
Let go of desire in things you see
For once, just for once, listen to me
Hear me knock at the door of your mind
An idea! That's what I am
Immortality

Insolent man,
Open up
Let me in

...and together


...we shall live


...forever
What makes you smile?
What makes you laugh?
I want to know
So I could do that

What makes you sad?
What makes you cry?
I wonder why
These tears fall down my face
Every time I think of you and him
I wonder how you've been
If you stayed strong
I'm thinking of you all night long

And my shoes will dance with you
My shoes will dance

As you sit here
Right by my side
I turn left
Then I turn back right

Can't stand a moment
Lost in your eyes
As I gaze
I realize some tears
Stream down my face
Because I'm thinking of you
I wonder how you've been
Will I wait long?
I'm suffocating with this song

But my shoes will dance with you
My shoes will dance

As the light turns to darkness
And the music drops dead~silence

My shoes will dance

As the dance floor now widens
And the gym's filled with romances

My shoes will dance

As the spotlight surrounds you
He takes you by the hand and holds you

My shoes will dance

As you look up to smile at him
I hope you do look down and see
That my shoes they dance
My shoes do dance

My shoes are dancing
With you
This here is a song, one of my earliest compositions. This was written around 5 years ago, and this was the first of many songs I wrote for that someone who truly mattered at that time in my past.
