At the tip of my fingers
I wipe away your tears
Your pain lingers
It has for years
Always scared to close your eyes
Against the dark
But tonight ill be your guide
So follow me

Take my hand and place it to your chest
Warm beating heart
Beneath the moons crest
You said I love you
I said I did too
I just pray you won't hurt me
Because ill die if you do
Call me your love
Sing of the doves
A song about forever
A happy ever after
Just don't break my heart

You whisper in my ear
Sing to me my lyrics
Ever syllable I'd love to hear
Your magical in my eyes
Don't you realize

Take my hand and place it to your chest
Warm beating heart
Beneath the moons crest
You said I love you
I said I did to
I just pray you won't hurt me
Because I'll die if you do
Call me your love
Sing of the doves
A song about forever
A happy ever after
Just don't break my heart

And even if you leave
Off to fight in war
Ill wait for you to come home
And sing to me once more
Your life is in my soul
And your body left my hands
Your my soldier you must know
And you fight for our lands!

They have an everlasting impact on our hearts and souls
They do not judge us like so many others do
They are our confident, the one we can talk to
For some they are a rarity in themselves
While for others the list goes on and on
They have seen into our heart and soul
And see past the façade we put up for others
They see us, yet they still love us
They help carry us through our field of troubles
As they ensure our survival through the pain
They stay up with us, just listening, when all we need is for them to hear
They are our shoulder to cry on who don't complain as we ruin their shirts and they soak up our tears
They also tell us when we are in the wrong while sparing our feelings
And they see our craziness and share it with us crazy stunt after crazy stunt
These people are our own personal angels, sent to us,
A true blessing from God, always willing to be there with us
Who are these angels? Where can we find them?
They are disguised as friends and they are everywhere we look

Some wait for lovers
Many wait for wealth
I wait for happiness
While I'm going through hell
Nothing stops the pain
I can't ever think
Somedays I feel so lost
I'll eventually sink
The waters pull me under
I'm completely out of breath
I let the sea take me
Wherever it feels is best
Yet all I want
Is to see the sun shine again
So I wait
Until my happiness begins

You hold your soul and country
Within your shaking hands.
This ground is so familiar,
But you don't know where you stand.
Should you take the straight and narrow?
Or find another road?
Could you make your boredom pleasure,
Or will you do as you are told?

The cold is setting on you
But you hardly feel its bite.
Your blood is way too hot here
As the day becomes the night.
Your time is speeding up,
You haven't got much left at all.
Two years spent half for nothing,
Have you seen the final fall?

I don't want to see you smile anymore.
It reminds me of a time when you used to make me smile,
When I used to make you laugh,
And when I didn’t know you would break my heart.

I look to see if you’re online again
A bad habit that I should get out of
It’s been a bad day
And you’re the only one I want to talk to
Just a look to the right
Just a glimpse to see if you are there
But you still aren’t like I wish you were
I’m three degrees away from obsession
Toeing the line and getting closer to it with each passing moment
You’re like a drug to me and I can’t seem to get enough
I just want to talk to you
Because I know you can make it all better
But then you come online and I do nothing
I’m like a teenager again—waiting
Waiting to see if you will say something to me first,
To ask me how I’m doing
To see if you need me like I need you
Although I already know the truth
Or at least I think I do
So I keep quiet and watch as you come and go
You’re gone again and I feel that emptiness inside me come forth
Obsession is creeping up
I’ll push it back as long as I can
And wait for my twisted mind to go back to normal

You complain that
I have nothing more to talk of
Rather than love
But what is there to talk about
When that's all my being wants?
*Love is all you need,
Then you can conquer the world

Enthralling. Captivating.
These are the words you
spoke under your breath
just loud enough for me
to hear. For you to hear.
I find myself clinging
to your words like
a child to a blanket,
warm, comfortable.
A barrier that I slip around
my skin the way your fingers
trace my side, my thighs, my fingers.
Words chosen as carefully as all
the boys broken at the bottom
of your toy chest. I still long
to hear you say those four
little words again.
"You're more than that."
