Even when the days, are the darkest shade of ash and gray
I’ll find my way
                          Even when black holes, swallow up my summer sun
                          I’ll never run
Even when winding roads, leave me lost and all alone
I’ll always find my way back home
                          Even when my veins, are coursing with numbing pain
                          I’ll never forget my name
Even when love, is emptied dry from my cup
I’ll raise it to the rain, and watch the world fill it up again

Yes I am a beautiful disaster
In my wake leave a bittersweet taste
A special kind of love in soul
Most of it goes to waste

I long to stop disassembling
Pieces one by one
My demons have spoken
They warn I've just begun

Hiding in the silence
I am too afraid to share
Do not like the way opening up feels
Like winter branches laid bare

Pages of heart are torn
Many stained with tears
Can judge this book by it's cover
As dark as it appears

As whispers flow throughout mind
Uttered from lips of memories
Wishing my residual sorrow
Would be carried with the breeze

Suffering rising into air
Dispersing until completely gone
Hard as I try to blow them away
Miseries keep clutching on

My words lie at bottom of my lungs
Too tired to crawl out
They weigh down my shaky breath
Until every one turns to doubt

I retreat into the shadows
Cloaked in grey and black
Waiting for happiness to return
My colors may never come back
I am a cute wreck (my version of a hot mess)

I am not sure which words to say
Many thoughts crowding my head
And pride plus fear get in the way
I stay silent instead

In no hurry to lay heart bare
Each time I've done it before
Sentences hung suspended in air
You smacked them down to the floor

You don't have the strength or sensitivity
To face truth and come to grips
This time what I'm longing to set free
Remains barricaded behind closed lips
So sick of repeating the same scenarios. When will I finally learn? My effort is pointless when it comes to you...

press to distress
express disdain
dismay
say if may
dis is in vain

but there's rain in my veins
and through the pain
is where we gain
the whys and the eyes
for I's and the lies

I guess I got caught in the rot
but hey why not
leave like a leaf
live and relieve
weave and retrieve
humus is us and whatnot

And
when the eyes come back
to shed tears,
I hope
it’s not a cry of remorse,
nor to let go.

Deep deep within
Way deep down
Deep inside
Deep sunrise
Deep sunshine
Deep deep night
Deep deep moonlight
Lighting my sky
Next to you sunlight
Deep deep within
Way deep down
Deep inside
A song everlasting
A song for you and me
Deep deep moonshine
Shining down
Next to you
You and me in deep deep love

I scream I shout
I know what I'm talking about
Them eyes an smiles
The warmth
Our family
Music to the ears
The music of our life
We look past
We dont look back
Buried next to you is where I wanna be
Married next to you when I sleep
I'm one lucky man
I thank god gave me you
That's why I know
That's why I believe
Proof of a bigger plan
I'm one lucky man

Rocks skip hearts beat
Seconds tic tock
There goes the clock
Another day gone
Lifes short yards are long
Beers stay cold
When the cig is lit
I **** sure know
Thank God for the time I'm given
This life I'm living
Months turn to years
Next thing you know
You missed it

Take a second soak it all in
Stop stare reminisce
Witness this blessing
If you're tired stressed or sick
If you're fed ready an rich
Just look
I still cant believe
This must be a dream....

Take my hand let's go on a journey
First let's walk an talk
Heres a coffee
Pay attention
I hate "hate"
I hate death
But that's not what I fear
I fear this wont sound right
When I share my heart soul and beliefs
When I tell you right now it's you and me
This coffee good
But me an you are better
Us together
Hold on grab tight
Let's run the fields
**** a coffee
Waking up your man
Laughing loving and enjoying
It's what we will have
If this dream passes us by...
Free to Love

Tonight,
I dread to sleep.
My fingers are restless,
they yearn to write,
but alas,
I have nothing to write.

It is not that I have been bled dry,
it is just I have not lived.
To sleep,
to live,
it seems that
I am unable to do either.

I wonder what you are up to
Do I ever cross your mind?
Know you are with somebody new
You are on mine all the time
If you asked me how many times you've crossed my mind I'd say once because you never left

So much pain weighing down heavy heart
Wish I would let sadness go
Clinging to my skin like static
Stalking like own shadow
Sighs..

We are perfectly imperfect
Delightfully wrong
Dysfunctional relationship
Yet it is where I belong

I am the angel on your shoulder
You are the demon on mine
Taste sweeter than ambrosia
Burn stomach like strychnine

You affect my vision
Around you I can't see clear
In your absence aware of illusions
But rendered blind the moment you're near

Your charming wickedness
And my naivete
Balance out our scales
With equal harmony

Love me in shades of grey and black
And I'll bring color to your universe
This cloak of loyalty I wear
Is both a blessing and a curse

You tell me what I want to hear
I say what is true
Sometimes I long to be free of the worry
But too much is at stake to lose
Couldn't. Come up with a better ending so there you have it rotfl
