When you're cold
Am I wrong
For hoping he keeps his jacket on

When you're sad
Am I shallow
For wishing he'd leave you to wallow

When you're tired
Is it spiteful
To hope that he pushes your dreams away

When you feel safe
How wrong am I
To hope that you'd catch someone else in his eye

When you speak
Am I so bad
For wishing he'd turn all your words into ash

When you go to bed
Would it sting
To hope that he can't make you feel a thing

I hope he lies, I hope he cheats
I hope he stumbles when he speaks
I know it's wrong to wish you pain
But sin keeps leaking from my brain

I'm sorry that I'm not sorry
For praying that you drift apart
Because I'm selfish, I'm so selfish
But I need you in my arms

I can't stand to let him make
You feel so loved and feel so safe
I hope that karma stays away
Because I've got nothing good to say

I'm sorry that I'm not sorry
For hoping that you drift apart

The many nights I’ve longed to hold you
All the times I could have told you
Now it seems those times have passed
It’s so hard to make the good times last
If I could only love you in my dreams

The days are long without your smile
It we could only talk for awhile
Maybe things would change for you and me
Better days are waiting to set us free
If I could only love you in my dreams

I remember when the nights were yours and mine
But now they’re cold and the stars no longer shine
No evening moons or morning stars in the sky
Just lonely nights with a lot of time to cry
If I could only love you in my dreams

I guess there’s always hope in each new day
Somehow, some day I will find the words to say
To tell you that I love you so, you’re always on my mind
To search myself to see if your love I can find
If I could only love you in my dreams
I'm just a dreamer.

If only there could be
If there could ever be a “we”
I know you have enough
And you can live without
Me, I’m not so sure
Always been left outside

It feels so hard
It’s so hard how you make it easy
I know I have enough
But I don’t have what I need
And maybe I could live without
With you, I feel so sure
I’ll never be alone

Maybe I didn’t pray enough
For it all to become true
It’s miracle enough
That I’ve found myself in this room
But the door will never open
And we can’t transfer

If only there could be
If there could ever be a “we”
I know you have nothing to gain
And everything to lose
Master of manipulation
Do it for the children
Do it for the child

They say it's nothing
Just a cold
Bt why do I feel
Like the world
Is sitting on my chest.

I try to rest
Bt the night presses too close
And my back aches
Like it's holding a sorrow
It doesn't understand.

It's just cold
Bt it hurts
In ways I can't explain.

I would give you the world
but it isn't mine to give
so i give you my heart
not impure with my blood
but drowning in illusions of you
not because you need it
but as a gesture of my faith in you
because there is no god other than you
but gods are beyond one's reach
hence i give you my heart,
to be alive in yours, for eternities to come

I barely got to know you
Just brushed against something true
Like love—raw, was it real?
I just want to know
Before you go

What would our mornings be like?
Kisses, coffee and sleepy smiles alike.
Would I have fit into that frame?
I wish you'd reach for my hand.
Before the day began

The bits of you that I stole
What wouldnt I give to have you whole.
Not just whispers and glimpses.
Do you relive that night we met?
Before you forget

Tell me how must it feel?
With you to share every meal?
To feed my stomach but fill my soul.
Just one more night can you stay?
Before you walk away

Your eyes held the dawn and dusk,
Your words ever sharp and brusque.
That crooked smile—half a dare.
Will I ever forget your face?
Before it’s lost to space

The taste of your lips
The ***** of your hips
A secret I never learned
A chance for the love that was never made?
Before we fade

Maybe it was all in my head?
Something unborn can still be dead.
But even dreams deserve a funeral.
Just please, please let me grieve
Before you leave
Close the door
slip the latch and let it fall
I am sad to say farewell
but I must leave you all,
imagine me at peace
freed from earthly things,
I am the autumn breeze
a winter wind that sings,
I am rain, I am sky,
a part of everything,
we did not say goodbye,
I am summer, I am spring
blossom, light as air,
don't think of me as gone
look around and I’ll be there
I have written this for my dad's funeral, which is in a couple of weeks

Lighthouse on a Mountain

There’s a lighthouse on a mountain,
far from any shore
It shines its light, for those who need it more
Blinking and shining, showing them the way
Lighting up their path, to find another day

The mountain is tall, it can be seen for miles
Standing strong and silent, after so many trials
Holding past the test of time, a rock among the years
Showing the way for the weak to face all their fears

The lighthouse stands for all to see
It will guide you to all you dream to be
Follow its light, it shows what’s true
See it shine, it shines for you
