i've opened my arms
and tossed the feelings
of my soul
         to the world

     take them

give them back to me
   cleansed
      purified of dirt
and wholesome
   and i'll cradle them tightly
against my chest
      to be soaked up
by my heart.
help me find the paper
with the poem i need
it's a simple piece of paper
with a poem that must be freed
i am asking for my readers
not for want or greed
help me find the paper
and what i write...you'll read

right now, there's nothing on it
it's as empty as can be
i looked inside my closet
and no paper did i see
i found one under a bonnet
but, it wasn't one for me
the missing poem might be a sonnet
can't you help me find it please

the words i have aren't in my head
it's the paper brings them out
until the pen hits paper
i don't know what it's about
once the poem is finished
i can then stand up and shout
i found the piece of paper
this is the one.....no doubt

help me find the paper
with the poem i need
it's a simple piece of paper
with a poem that must be freed
i am asking for my readers
not for want or greed
help me find the paper
and what i write...you'll read

step one, step two
in the tar you lost your shoe
step three, step four
you don't belong anymore
step five, step six
the kids are snorting pixie sticks
step seven, step eight
tonight you and charlie are going to hop the freight
step nine, step ten
you wonder when you'll be whole again
turn, step one, step two
charlie and you found your shoe
step three, step four
you bought a house with a pretty red door
step five, step six
you never really liked pixie sticks
step seven, step eight
you laugh 'till its late
step nine, step ten
you learn how to be whole again

Love is a blinding trance
It puts a haze over your judgement
The clouds make it hard to see
All the things that aren't meant to be
You find someone who makes it hard to breathe
Then they turn you around and make you someone you weren't meant to be

But this love is more than an infatuation
It's a serious addiction
But in our hearts we like to believe that the love we feel is very real
Thinking your love is one of kind
That this continuous addiction is all that love could ever be

But when we finally let go
It hurts everyday
They cross your mind all the time
You hear a song and you begin to cry
You hear their name and you feel a tug at your heart
You think you just can't make it, like you're back at the start
All you want to do is hear their voice and feel their touch

But you're stuck missing them
Smoking a little too much
Drinking straight from the bottle
Wishing you'd forget about them tomorrow

So you follow back down that same old road
The road you've travelled along for so very long
You made one little call
And you're right back up there about to fall

Your kisses feel
like waves
and I want
to swim on
your tongue*

Listen closer, that’s not the sound of
his heartbeat you hear it’s only your own
echoing back to you, trying to remind you
that you don’t need him to keep you alive.
You’re going to be okay on your own.
- you don't need him. remember that.
