i don't want to be beautiful.
too often, beautiful things do not last.

but at the same time,
your words make me feel
like my skin is incandescent,
despite the shadowstains
of my soul.
I placed you in my mind,
and from my dreams I got blind.
Then I placed you in my heart,
living my life, again I start.
I'm doing well now. How about you, love?
I didn’t want a booth
Not this time anyway
I wanted it to be out in the open
Sometimes it’s better that way

The drinks didn’t matter
Or the song I heard them sing
After the first glass
You drink whatever they bring

It took all my life for her to know
But she only wanted to talk about tomorrow
I said how can we know about love
When all you think about is your sorrow?

What can you tell me about love
It’s as if only you know about forever
Yet the demands you have place upon me
Tell me that love’s name is still never

I wanted to reach across and touch your hand
But you reached for mine first
I saw you smile and softly speak my name
But you left without quenching my thirst

It took all my life for her to know
She thought I only knew words to borrow
The love I gave her once was enough
But now only promises can love her tomorrow
Song lyrics
Her pain is tangible, it breaks my heart
She does not see it, but our love is strong
Despite her pain, we will never part

Together we can forge a new start
Despite her pain, entwined are our songs
Her pain is tangible, it breaks my heart

Shared laughter will make her pain depart
True love will give her strength and make her strong
Despite her pain, we will never part

We were meant to be, our hearts sing one song
She tries to hide, knowing it is wrong
Her pain is tangible, it breaks my heart

She smiles every now and then, it’s a start
Through she feels she has nowhere to belong
Despite her pain, we will never part

She smiles very now and then, it’s a start
Her heart and my heart, totally belong
Her pain is tangible, it breaks my heart
Despite her pain, we will never part

Trying something new.  Sorry I have been away
Lonely and filled with sorrow
Self-hatred burns bright, loss of self is profound
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

Abandoned, she is left to beg, cheat and borrow
Hope is nowhere to be found
Lonely and filled with sorrow

She is torn asunder and on the morrow
She will stand firm and hold her ground
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

As her heart is pierced by an arrow
The ground crumbles; she feels drowned
Lonely and filled with sorrow

She is bereft and feels quite hollow
Life makes no sense, leaving her confounded
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

Hopeless, feeling despair she wallows
Afraid she’ll never rise up and be found
Lonely and filled with sorrow
Defeated, she feels there is no tomorrow

Contemplating life as time slips away
Feeling tangled by decisions she made
Mysteries unravel and thoughts run astray
She needs to move forward before hope fades

Life has slipped away, much to her dismay
Watching dreams die, emptying her cache
Lingering doubts leave her feeling jaded
Contemplating life as time slips away

Shadowed by loneliness, she feels like prey
She closes her eyes and hides to evade
Her pain and sorrow.  She will have her say
Feeling tangled by decisions she made

Cobwebs are clearing, hope brightens her day
Dark skies are changing, becoming pearl grey
She’s now able to step out from the shade
Mysteries unravel and thoughts run astray

Her mind is now clear; she’ll find a new way
As long as she is able to persuade
Her doubts to fade, while learning to pray
She needs to move forward before hope fades
                               Contemplating life
