i see him there every day
he always watches me
the town people call him stray
he calls himself free

"there's big fish under this bridge"
he points to a submerged stone
"that's where the whale lives"
I cast my line toward it's home

the old man smiled and watched me cast
idle hands and vicarious eyes
"don't try to set the hook too fast"
"this whale is really wise"

my line went tight, i felt the pull
i yanked with all my might
too hard headed to follow the rule
'let him take a big ole bite"

i threw my pole, and fell in the water
the old man only laughed
he said "look on the bright side"
"at least you got a bath"

(his smile made the water shimmer brighter
his laughter sang with the birds...)

"i'll be back soon to claim my prize
with a heavier pole and line
for me to catch a whale that size
it's going to take a lot of time"

now when i see the old man
we talk of the ones that got away
his wife, his kids, his life
and the fish i lost that day

She woke up helpless and had no clue,
-What time it was- or what to vainly do,
She could never see, but hear their steps,
Chime in that vacant dark hall,

She wanted to speak it loud, to scream,
She couldn't wait seekinga  light beam,
She wanted to know any whereabouts,
She wanted to **** all wonders and doubts,
'' Where am I?" said she.

She knew everything but what was happening,
She knew everything, but all was vaguely dark,
This **** food she shared with a rat,
Which, she ironically named and jack,

Jack, he, who happens to be full of romance,
He, who happens to be a charming prince,
He, who happens to come on a white horse,
Recklessly swinging his sword cutting their heads,
He who used to passionately kiss her lips,
Making her heart melt within a glimpse,
He who happens to be a lover never seen again,
They took her soul when taking him away,
She was a mere corpse, already dead.

Suddenly,
the door of the cell was slammed in a burst,
Voilently opened erupting the floor's dust,
They were there, executioners and a grumpy priest,
Light has made her blind, that beam of light,
Which she has always  eagerly sought,
She went blind, for a while, until she reached the mighty blade of the guillotine.*

She's a strange one
And sometimes I think she likes
To play dumb
And sometimes I think she likes
To play the broken little bird
And she can twist whatever words
I dare to utter
She gives you that look, like butter
Wouldn't melt
Like all that time you spent
With her means the world
And she's a transfixing girl
She can make your heart feel alive
She'll make your soul feel numb
And I'm telling you, she's a strange one.
is it silly to write you a poem
when we've never kissed,
when we've never spoken,
when we've never met?
is it silly to tell you that i love you
when i don't even know
if i'll ever know you?
is it silly to want you,
to crave you, to say that i miss you?
is it silly that i can't write these verses
without wanting to cry, wanting to mourn
the loss of someone i never had?
is it silly to think that one day
i'll show you these words
and you'll smile when you
think at how things turned out?
is it silly to believe that i won't be alone?
with a quiet voice I sing
my praise for Thee

my heart beating its beat
my mouth songs harmony

I sing a song for Thee
that carries on till eternity
even if my words are lost at sea
I have whispered my love for Thee
I couldn't breathe
     The scent of flowers
  Without your presence
          In my mind
      A rose by any other name
             Is still just fine
    But the aroma is lost to me
        It's no longer sweet
             Like your face
     Has drifted away
          Awaiting the sunshine
   And new blossoms
            On a rainy day

you wanna fall apart
say you're so weak
keep your thoughts in the dark

you wanna leave us in the dust
but I cant be strong enough
for the both of us

Chorus:
i need you here
standing tall
right beside me
together we can fall
in love
I want you with me
our hearts in awe
entwined as one
together we can fall
in love

you wanna run away
say you're not good enough
keep your heart at bay

you wanna lock yourself up
but I cant be strong enough
for the both of us

Chorus:
i need you here
standing tall
right beside me
together we can fall
in love
I want you with me
our hearts in awe
entwined as one
together we can fall
in love

without you I'm weak
without you I'm not good enough

you wanna be afraid
say you're scared of us
but together we are stronger
strong enough

Chorus:
i need you here
standing tall
right beside me
together we can fall
in love
I want you with me
our hearts in awe
entwined as one
together we can fall
in love

without you I'm locked away
but together we can fall
in love

without you I'm afraid
but together we can fall
in love

in love
together
we can fall
For now, you will lie there, asleep.
Oblivious to the thoughts of many.
Free from the prying eyes of the world,
Into a place where every dream is a possibility,
In a universe where the stars holds you dearly.

In a hundred years, we'll meet again.
Same old smiles will form on our face
As we talk about the memories
The laughter and the tears
Everything that made us feel alive.

Until then, please wait for me.
Find the peace you've longed for
And enjoy every minute of it.
When I get there I'll make sure.
To tell you the story of a young man
Who struggled to stitch the remains
Of a universe shattered into pieces.
Let me cry in the middle of the night
Help me scream at the face of the moon
Leave me be in my state of restlessness
Until I realize what I need to be

Let me not to the people that I do not know
Heave me out of relationships that I do not deserve
Let me be in my state of restlessness
Until I figure out what is wrong

Ignore the spaced daze inside my eyes
Do not give attention to the cries of my heart
Let yourself be free of your own intention
And let me be with my feeling of restlessness
