You live to play the game
Watching the shame fill my eyes
Hoping that I’d hold on through the lies
Rejoicing in the effect you have over me
I have no chance, no choice it seems
All I can do is watch from a distance
Watch as you devour my spirit and greedily feast on my love
Watch as my body betrays me and rises to meet you with everlasting trust

I see your eyes, they hold no shame
Showing no emotion, that’s your game
Watching me fly and burning with desire
Erupting with need that hits me with the force of a freight train
My love spills over, trying to banish out every trace of darkness
Like a vampire craving blood you feed off my love
******* me dry and leaving behind a drought of need too great
Consuming me, a frenzy of fire, desire, love and lust

Try as hard as I might, I escape for only a while
A thread of dignity, saves my ravaged soul
You find my light and drive it away with a darkness that stains your soul
I try to latch on to some semblance of control
Alas, I have fallen and there is nowhere I can go

You seem to enjoy playing this game
Weaving unseen spells that keep me detained
I love you more than life itself yet you push me away knowing this full well.
So go ahead and play on, diminishing my light for your own ego
Play on my love, play on, this game of yours holds strong
But some day my love will thrive and knock you over with its sheer size
You will beg for forgiveness and I will accept you with open arms
Showing you what it truly means to love.

You look for ways to make the world a better place
Join activist groups thinking that will make a change
Talking about starting a revolution for future generations
And yet you miss the simple pleasures in life
You let life pass you by.
The moments that give you joy and peace are tossed to the side
How ironic that you seek freedom and yet you cage yourself in
Afraid to love and let her in
Afraid to be the person you are when you are with her
You say that you’re messed up, I’ve got some news for you, all of us are
But we don’t blame life for the decisions we make and we don’t cower and hide when opportunities arise
You think you’re living by rejecting love
But you’re so far in over your head there is no room for the growth or change
You speak of living life to the fullest, yet you’re stuck behind bars
People look at you and think you’re so tall, flying above it all
But when I look at you I realize you’re an original trying to be a copy
I watched and was amazed at how you made people feel
It felt real, it felt good, it felt like a win
In this life a win can take you on so many highs
But careful when flying and enjoying the ride
Because it might be a high that you experience but you’re actually going down
Take the blue pill, experience the thrill
Take the red one and be one of masses that go through life without ever knowing how to awaken and see the strife
Take a chance and risk tomorrow
Take a chance it might make you lose all the sorrow
Whatever you do, make the right choice for you, because YOU are all you’ll ever have
And YOU are all the world needs to change
It starts by taking it one step at a time and realizing that growth is the answer.

For too long I have hidden these dreadful pains
Trying to seem normal while feeling estranged
I look in the mirror and I cannot see
Who is the girl staring back at me?

Lies and distrust have ruined her
Turning her into the one thing she hates the most
It’s never too late to be honest and true
It might be too late for her soul to be renewed

At least she’ll have spoken up and stood tall
Instead of cowering beneath it all
Tis time the truth prevail
To start anew and find herself again

It is said that the truth doth set you free
Tonight we will see what truth really brings
A weight lifted off ones shoulders
Or life altering consequences that bring sorrow

The love that revolves around my once aching heart
Leads me to place that is infamous and dark
May truth be told and relationships restored
May this be the birth of a revolutionary law
May TRUTH be the judging wheel, may all involved find victory!

The silhouette of he’s face shines in the moonlight
He lies beside me completely silent
So beautiful, such a pleasure to behold
My love for him knows no bounds

He is so familiar with every breath
But also a distant stranger in every sense
Entranced I watch as he slumbers in the night
Thinking of ways to end the strife

I trace his jawline and watch as he stirs
I watch dreamily and concur, this is what I prefer
There is no mountain high enough that I would not climb
To gaze upon my love and watch our hearts intertwine

There is no ocean deep enough that I will not cross
To have the pleasure of seeing my love doss
He’s love is a drug that’s captured my soul
There is no way that I could ever let him go

I wait as time goes on to be the one he wants alone
Trust and faith are all I have, to rummage through the earth called home

They say true love does not exist, I beg to differ
In every passing second, in every moment, I see him, I see me
I see the great love that we could be
I see that he makes mistakes and is not perfect
Most of all I see he’s soul dying to come home

Time has always been an enemy of my contentment.
For years I have waged war against the tyrant ruler afraid accepting his rule would defeat my fleeting immortality.
Malevolent and omnipresent I succumb to the true ruler of man and find companionship and even purpose.
Wisdom and knowledge of this mortal existence comes with age, the oldest companions of time claim.
Time and change are shackled together destined to meander through dusk and dawn with symmetry that is uncanny but easily invisible to most.
Just because a gift is not enclosed in a fitting package doesn't mean the value of the gift is not invaluable.
Time is the gift of the divine, our false sense of immortality is the cavalry we summon to fight an enemy that has dominion over us
I welcome you old friend to walk hand in hand with me, only in your footsteps is my path visible.

To sit and watch the clock tick by
Reminds me of a lullaby
It was you and I in a world of wonder
Sinking into an abyss of passion and surrender

I watch as consciousness leaves your body
All I see is an angel, perhaps my sleeping beauty
Your breath seeks mine and intertwines
As our hearts beat to the rhythm of our love

Our skin the only barrier
A need of wanting to be one
Crawling into your mind seeking every inch of your soul
Falling carefree into the unknown

To sit and watch the clock tick by
Reminds me of our lullaby
Beating hearts, passionate love
Locked forever in an infinity of us…

Hearts fluttering,
Bodies shaking,
You met my gaze and cast your spell
Bewitched, ensnared, I tumbled down
Like a hunter you watched my every step
Like the prey I was, I scurried away and tried to hide
Alas, I could not gaze away from your prying eyes
I feel your touch deep within my soul
Trying desperately to hide from the unknown
You felt my resistance and struck with accurate precision
You watched as i could not hold on and i tumbled down, down, down
Forever locked in your heart,
forever locked in your love,
forever locked, deep within your soul
