Confusion
Liz Edwards May 2014
My mind is never clear
Always rattling with some new thought
Some distraction
So hard to think things through
And decide to be with you.
Confusion

Wonder
Liz Edwards Jul 2012
In the middle of a busy day
I find you creeping into my thoughts
And anything I was doing
Simply slips away

I wonder

Do you ever think of me?

I wonder

Will my heart ever be free?

I wonder

I Never Knew
Liz Edwards Feb 2011
I never knew what I could be
I stayed safe inside of me

I had not thought
I had no mind
I had no goal that I could find

There must be more to life than this
I'd sell my soul for just one kiss

You have all I will ever need
How can you stand and watch me bleed?

Thought
Liz Edwards Feb 2011
A world sets out before me
And teaches me to reach
For something more than what I have
Can I?

The sun set on my hopes and dreams
And left my life in darkness
Begin again in darkness
Will I?

A new day dawns each morning
And sheds light on what was dark
Look out along the horizon
Should I?

Choose
Liz Edwards Mar 2011
How do I choose between two
Two hearts offered to me
Two  souls searching for love

How do I turn one away?
Two hearts and one will break
Two worlds very different from each other

I cannot choose
I cannot lose
How would I make that decision?

Holding on by a thread
Would I really be better off dead?
Would anyone know I was gone?
There's nowhere where I belong...

Reaching out for a friend
Who will just turn their back in the end
Can anyone hear my cry?
Will anyone care when I die....

Help me to see a light
There's no ray of hope in my sight
It's so hard to do all alone
There's nowhere that I feel at home...

Hope
Liz Edwards Feb 2011
Tomorrow is another day
That's what my mother used to say
I look to find the truth therein
That's the way its always been

The sun will rise
The sun will set
I think that I'm
Not finished yet

So I'll close the door on another day
And hope that I can find my way
Another chance to set things straight
I hope that it is not too late

Endings
Liz Edwards Aug 2013
So here I am again
Faced with another end
I have to wonder why I even try.

Pick myself up once more
No sense in lying on the floor
I have to wonder if it's worth the pain.

I knew it wouldn't last
I know this from my past
I have to wonder if I can hold on.

To anything....

Loss
Liz Edwards Nov 2012
Wish I got a chance to know
Why you chose to let me go
So many things I'd like to say
There will never be another day

It hurt to know you didn't care
To know I'd never see you there
Was it me that scared you away
There will never be another day

Liz Edwards Oct 2012
Never understood this pain
Drowning in an endless rain
Straining for a glimpse of light
Buried in an endless night

Watched others struggle from afar
Nothing could erase the scar
Now I'm in this dark abyss
Not a thing that I would miss

Close my eyes and pray for sleep
Don't wake me, don't hear me weep
Can I survive another day
Pray that I just waste away

— The End —
