Running Blind
Blindly moving through it all
Seeing all but you
Caught up in the world around me
Missing what is true

Chasing after what matters not
Never slowing down
Seeing all but what I should have
Not knowing what I'd found

Keeping that which doesn't hold
I pushed away the best
Returning with an empty heart
And mind in need of rest

Slowing down and seeing now
My eyes are open wide
All I needed to remember
Is to let You inside

Scars
Bruises heal as do cuts
Are broken hearts a different game
Can they be so broken
They never feel the same

Can it ever be as before
Can the hurt be healed
Or is there too much pain involved
That you don’t wish to feel

Do you recall the way it was
Could it ever be the same
Will your heart still beat for mine
When it hears my name

Scars are left behind
From wounds after they heal
Can one still look upon the scars
And the pain not feel

My Thoughts
You are the first thought on my mind
Each day when I awake
You roam between the rest
All throughout my day

You are the last thought on my mind
Before I drift off to sleep
And you walk in all my dreams
It seems my thoughts you keep

If I should wake or drift off to sleep
And thoughts of you are not on my mind
I will not be here at all
I believe that one will find

Return To Me
Such a peaceful place I have found
Where I come to be alone
And hide myself away
From everything I've known

Here is such a peaceful state
Nothing to think about
I can disappear inside myself
And float upon the clouds

All I wish to hear around me here
Is just the air I breathe
Rushing through my body
As I return to me

Sweet Release
Sweet release to find this peace
Inside this heart of mine
To smile and laugh again
As life again I find

No longer hidden by a frown
A smile's upon my face
A new song is stirring in my heart
As I run my race

All my tears have passed
And they've washed away my pain
Such a cleansing in my soul
As I live again

Reveal Your Heart
Please don't disappear from my sight
So that I can't feel you anywhere
Here then gone and back again
And then you reappear

I lose vision of this dream I have
When I lose sight of you
It shakes my very confidence
And breaks my heart in two

Don't be afraid to show yourself
And what you feel inside
I need to know where I stand
Nothing from me hide

What you set out to win you have
Show true self to me
Never hold back what you feel
Reveal what's in your heart to me

I Try
All I ever want to see is your face
Each time I close my eyes
Pulling at my heart
And running through my mind

Your arms are where I go for comfort
When life gives me storms
You take away all that's in me that is cold
And once again I'm warm

No one has ever got me like you do
You know exactly what I need
What more could I ever ask
My needs you exceed

I love you more than I could ever say
Much more than I could ever write
With these words I tell you
With all these words I try

Missing Pieces
Open your mind and think a bit
What it is you see
Now open your heart and look at it
What can it truly be

There are pieces missing in this pie
And you've not taken a bite
Something is amiss here
That's not quite in your sight

Turn it around and toss it about
With both your heart and mind
Then perhaps where they've gone
You will surely find

You Saw The Beauty
I laid my heart at your feet
And sat in front of you
Then I looked into your eyes
To see what you would do

Curiosity beamed from yours
Anyone could see  
Such a fascination there
Looking back at me

A smile passed across your face
As in wonderment and awe
You took what I’d presented you
With its many flaws

You saw the beauty there
Overlooked the scars
Knowing that what placed them there
Makes you who you are

Silence Defined
You have a manner of speaking, without saying a word
Your silence is heavenly divine
My heart hears the message you send in your silence
As I know, your heart can hear mine

I am kissed in the morning by the words you never speak
I hear each of them in the back of my mind
Softly held in my sleep by your message revealed
Completely safe in the unspoken words I define

A lasting impression, inspired by the bliss so contained
In the loving words which you never speak
Yet sweetly heard by the soul they kiss in its sleep
An exquisite rest of contented peace

Safe in the arms of your unspoken words I define
Known to my heart to be true
I peacefully sleep and I wake in your silent state
Completed by the silence I hear from you

Yours
Can this heart of mine ever be the same
As before it learned the truth
Can it continue now as it is
Alone without you

Now my heart cries out its need for you
Unknown may have been better
Nothing lost, nothing gained
No tear-stained letters

Thought it would be easy to walk away
And smile at memories made
No regrets at all and no tears
If any would fade away

I love you more now than I did before
I can only speak the truth
This heart of mine is breaking right in two
As it belongs to you

Follow The One
This path that I'm on I walk alone
Don't get ahead get behind me
I reach my destination
With the One in my heart to guide me

You speak of the wisdom of ages
And say what will be will be
While inside you a battle it rages
And your confusion is as deep as the sea

You offer a hand to lead me along my path
When you don't know your own way
I walk alone on this path I'm on
And follow the One to whom I pray

Our Hearts Dance
When you hold me in your arms
Our hearts beat together in perfect time
With a rhythm so soft and low
That's felt like thunder next to mine

Our hearts dance together to the music made
So close, as if entwined
Harmony’s created with each move they make
As your heart beats next to mine

My heart will dance with yours forever
Step by step we’ll take
We’ll keep the rhythm so soft and low
Even when the thunder breaks

Home In Another Time
Mirror, Mirror upon my wall
What is this far off land I see
When I look into your lovely glass
It calls out my name and beckons me

Is this my home from another place and time
That I yearn for in my heart of hearts
Bringing memories back to me
From which I cannot part

I think I will step inside you for just a bit
And travel back in time
To see if this place I think is home
Is only in my mind

If I Told You
If I told you, I would change my life for you
Would you change yours in turn?
That I want to spend the rest of my days so true
In your arms for which I burn

If I told you, just how much you mean to me
What I would give to be with you
Would there be acceptance and open arms to see
Love returned in those eyes of blue

To tell you I would is the only way to truly know
If you feel for me as I do you
With unconditional love that grows and grows
Sought by many, yet known by few

The solitary life I know, I would change for you
Give up, with no regret
If you told me, you felt the same way I do
My way of life, I would easily forfeit
