all of a sudden

i lost all feeling

as i stuck my head
in the melting sun

"Every thing is a memory
with strings tied to you"


Please take me back

i miss you
so much

the long period of heat
is so very draining
and us down under folk
are all complaining

no cool change
is in the offering
and we're all
certainly suffering

day after day the sun beats
in a fashion so hot
which leaves us feeling
like a cooking ***

signs of rain
to moisten the atmosphere
don't appear
on the horizon anywhere here

we're enduring
a lengthy searing spell
that resembles
the ember's of hell

Cracked foundation,
Stone cold,
Here is my story,
Which I left untold.

Battling through,
Pain and fake smiles,
Walking alone,
Miles apon miles...

Fighting my demons,
Fighting the wind,
Hair in my mouth,
Goosebumps on my skin.

As I look up,
My eyes open wide,
Shaken and blue,
I walk inside.

Smoke in the air,
Sugar on my lips,
Flashback of memories,
Of all the things which I've missed.

I see my picture,
Hung up high on the wall,
I break down in tears,
To the ground I fall.

I raise my head,
A woman I see,
This isn't my mother,
But who is she!?

Her face so white,
She knows who I am,
She screams 'Daniel',
This woman understands,

I reach for the door,
I hear a loud cry,
I turn to see,
Daddy's crying eyes.

I run into his arms,
All my pain disappeared,
No more worry,
No more fears.

I hold on tight,
I can't let go,
I regret my mistakes,
This Daddy does know.

-----

Running away,
From doing wrong,
Isn't the answer,
You must be strong.

See Daddy said to me,
'See life as black and white,
Something's come easy,
Sometimes you must fight.'

Fight for you,
Fight for what you believe,
Live your life to the full,
Love, laugh and dream.

To tell or not tell you...... this is my dilemma
If I open up my heart  again, will you disapprove?
Perhaps it will be a step up or possibly a step back
Will it change anything in the moment you're made aware?
My mind tells me to walk cautiously for this is
broken glass territory.
