The Love
It'll set you free
of the confounds of the limits
that dread as draped over thy.

It comes from your neighbors
yours mother
your friends
Dont become dependent
because infatuation
is just pretend

Look deep inside
to the center of yourself
Dont be afraid, cause you just might find
that friend within yourself
All accepting
All loving
Entirely validating

Look for love within yourself
tap the spring
let it sing
and fulfill your every need

The love
you are looking for
is behind your own eyes.
You cant lose anything you don't already have
Accept the love,
from your own divine

Four walls to the room im in
Plastered white, no sun showing in
this place is my mind
these walls i paint
with memories that define
things not let go
feelings not left behind

Theres no exit
no windows
no escape
these four walls make up the prison i make
not to keep me in
but you out
Cant keep dealing with all this doubt

I'd like to think it happened out of love
awoken from a dream
it wasnt what it seemed
I feel in love with what couldnt be

Cant fight anymore
cant take the heartache
too many tears shed
in your wake

I cant take this torment
i stop myself
if your reading this
im not quite myself
but while im in this state
ill use this perspective well

Love is sacred,
trust is as well
Dont give it unless
you can be true to yourself
Fulfill your promises
it isnt that hard
CHOOSE what you want
and play the part

Dont tease me,
Take me for granted
Im worth more than that
I DESERVE to be cherished
Nobodys second choice
im taking my stand
If you dont come willingly
then i guess
ill see you in another land

One step at a time
Give them to yourself in Kind
Be patient
like a widower by the sea
not is always as it seems.

Take a breath
then take a step
Form a clear picture
channeled through your minds eye
Visualize a future where you and I
can sit and talk of love, wine, and the divine.

What I see
along my path
is a paradise along
a fork in the road,
which shows you which way to go
It's not just for show
because soon you will know
this paradise will soon be your own.

All the Wrong
All the Right
the moments of Dread
Out shined by the Delight
The sun
Erupting out of my heart
a feeling so right
So effortless
So true
The only problems stemmed from within you.
I own up to my own mistakes
my own choices
the road to my fate

I think of the rights
and the wrongs
the boundaries that were overstepped,
ignored, and spit on
I can understand how the distance,
the lack of Intimacy,
could drive someone to fulfill their own needs.
But what is unacceptable to me
was the dishonesty.

We were open from the start
or so i assumed.
The talks of what we wanted,
what we were willing to go through.
It was all in line, so all we would have
to deal with was the time.

I couldn't force you open,
i didn't want to at first.
but being 500 miles away,
combined with the hurt.
I realize I overstepped
my own boundaries.
By disrespecting yourself,
i blindly followed your lead.

I have learned from it
I have the knowledge to succeed.
You have been my greatest teacher
I now take my own lead.
