My works shoes decided to take a detour
They ended up being my dogs chew toy
Ripped and torn
I stare in forlorn
There is no time to fix them so I slide them on with considerable care
This work day is not going to be fair
I walk into work with a nervous glance
Afraid of the eyes and comments
A pound of duck tape later my co-workers stare at my deformed feet
I smile up at them and say "It adds character"
They stare back at me with a bewildered  expression
I stand up and smile and go on with my work day.

Your voice is a beautiful melody
It fills up a room
You could calm a riot
Or start a new Millennium
Everyone is silent
Except my beating heart because she is screaming in joyous cheer because instead of all that
you decided to
love me.

A heart made of glass
A mind made of steel
Love is a dream until you find out its real
Hugging in the winter
Dreaming in the summer
Filling my heart while melting my mind
Loving everything I am and all that I will be
Forming the shape of just you and me

I write these words because
I can't believe that my world is dying and I'm still on my feet
Living my life while the world is crumbling
Why should I live when others die of being hungry?
We try to right our wrongs but in the end
Our regrets pile up till the lights become dim

Keep me in your heart
Don't let your feelings hide in the dark
I will love you like the sunrise
As long as you love me through the night
So everything can be left unsaid
As long as our love will never say good bye

During the day it is quiet and peaceful
There is nothing that can disturb me
I know this house from top to bottom
It is all because I died here
All its secrets and desires consume me
There is nothing I can do but cry to the silence
When night comes my nightmares come to life
But with a sickening thud I realize something even worse
I am not alone.

I wish I had wings so I could fly
I would be free to say good bye
Its hard to live without you by my side
So I will just have to learn how to fly
You were not here to see how the world changed
But soon it won't matter because
I'll have wings
