Another day goes by,
Still I’m a ghost in your eyes,
I long for the feeling when you see the real me,
Down on my luck,
I still wish i was more than a passing glimpse
Center stage is where i wish i lived,
Instead of the hell i hold in my heart.

A dream is an occurrence of images,
Sensations ones mind in-visions in the night,
To me a dream is all you are,
I fell nothing more than a mirage,
An illusion to the rest of the world.

I wonder the earth looking high and low,
Searching for the woman i need,
Break me from the shackles i bear,
Living inside my internal prison,
I ask for gods forgiveness,
But god doesn’t know I’m there.

I try to give the world all i have,
But the world hands me a tightened rope,
I raise my fists to scream and shout,
My please have fallen on deaf ears.
I feel that i am speaking in tongues,
Where are you my guardian angel?
My savior in blue and gold.
Have you heard my calls?
Breathless i fall to my knees,
Begging that someone will answer me.
Can you hear me?
Are you listening?

For what it’s worth,
I hope your happy without me.
But what does it matter what i say,
I was nothing to you anyway.
But isn’t that the American Dream?
Getting your heart broken by a girl who you know will never love you.
Devoting your entire life to find your way into her heart and hoping,
By some miracle she will let you stay.
Opening your heart and hoping that maybe some day some how she will love you the same way a mother loves her child or the way Wall Street loves the stock market.

All i want is to be wanted in a cold world,
But all the blankets are taken.
Im cold to the touch as i fall from grace.
Will someone save me?
Numb and alone I abandoned ship as i sink to the bottom of the bottle.
As I’m drowned by my demons and i stare down the barrel of life,
You are there to pull be above the surface.
Never before have i seen so much beauty and radiance come from one heavenly body.

Her eyes pierced my heart and soul while her smile captivated my broken heart.
The light that practically surrounded her pulls me from me from my darkness.
I always thought happy endings where a luxury to the strong, and the weak stood to suffer, all my dreams came to life.
When i thought all was lost,
You took my finger off the trigger,
You saved my life.
This is a very personal poem to me.
