Driving to work
Feeling a little blue
Thinking about
A life without you

Trying to breathe
Without any air
That's how I'd feel
If you didn't care

Your love is my lifeblood
The fire to my soul
If I didn't have you
I wouldn't be whole

Together forever
On this you can rely
One day without you
I surely would die

Up on a pedestal
That's where you sit
I'll love you forever
To that I'll commit

You are my world
You are my life
I am so proud
To call you my wife

Over the years
Many things we did face
Right by your side
That is my place

I'll always love you
No one else would do
Until the end of time
I'll always be true

Had to run away
for awhile and hide
emotions were spent
mentally I was fried
life was beating me up
couldn't take it no more
grabbed a bunch of stuff
and ran for the door
jumped in the car
hit the open road
all these thoughts in my head
I think I'm going to explode
window rolled down
wind blowing through my hair
have no idea where I'm going
I don't even care
the freedom I feel
every mile that I drive
refreshing my soul
making me feel so alive
thinking about what's important
and what I hold dear
its always been you
and our love that we share
you are my oasis
in the desert of life
so glad you're my friend
and my beautiful wife

The day you almost died
Was the worst day of my life
I honestly couldn't imagine
if you were no longer my wife

I saw you lying there
Looking so frail and weak
I leaned over your bed
And kissed you on your cheek

The problem was in your lung
Caused by a blood clot
On the other one
There was a little spot

The news was overwhelming
I honestly must say
I fell onto my knees
And I started to pray

I walked into our house
And you were not there
Sat down on our bed
At your picture I did stare

Put my head on your pillow
Eyes started to well
The lingering scent of you
What a wonderful smell

For a couple of days
It was touch and go
I'd be lost without you
This you had to know

After a risky procedure
And medicine you did take
Along with some help from the Lord
The clot it did break

With a new lease on life
A precious second chance
I will shower you with love
and fill your life with romance

Don't live life
Full of regret
High expectations
Never met
Love letters
You did not send
Broken fences
You wouldn't mend
Hurtful words
Unable to take back
Feeling your heart
Start to crack
Pushed people away
Now your alone
No one to talk to
On the phone
It'll be okay
Don't be sad
Things can't really
Be that bad
That is why
When things look bleak
You must turn
The other cheek
Don't let life
Get you down
Turn your frown
Upside down
You must have done
Something right
Because I am here
With you tonight

You have a tail
Born in the water
Swimming around
just like an otter

Over the months
You steadily grow
Tail is shrinking
why don't you know

Quickly becoming
That full grown frog
You'll no longer be
That little polliwog

Feeling like
I'm at the end of my rope
Life is a struggle
I've lost all my hope

Can't get ahead
No matter how I try
What is the use
I should lay down and die

No one would care
If this earth I did leave
Not a tear would be shed
Nobody to grieve

Problems in this life
I face all alone
There is nobody to call
Or answer the phone

Looking in the mirror
The reflection I see
There isn't a family
I see only me

What I wouldn't give
To have someone in my life
Maybe a friend
Possibly a wife

This is the thing
That I ask for each day
When I drop to my knees
To the lord I pray

Sitting on the swing
The old boards begin to creek
I slowly lean over
And softly kiss your cheek

The fireflies so many
Their glow fills up the sky
I brush your hair back
And look you deeply in the eye

The silvery moonlight
Perfectly accents your face
Using *******
Softly I did trace

Crickets rhythmically chirping
A perfect serenade
A night just for lovers
For us it must be made

I thought I'd take a chance
On such a night like this
Holding your head in my hand
Those lips I'd finally kiss

One kiss turned to two
Another turned to three
Right by your side
That's where I'd always be

How many stars in the sky
This I'll never know
When they all stop shining
That's when I'll let you go

Lovely painting
On the wall
Into you
I wish I could fall

You are such
A wonderful scene
Your grass is
An incredible green

Beautiful skies
The deepest of blue
Sitting here for hours
Just looking at you

And your mountains
So majestic and real
Rub my hand across your canvas
All the paint I can feel

Just imagining
What a dream it would be
If I looked out my window
And you I did see

Every brush stroke
Done with precision and skill
Just to see you
It gives me a thrill

On my wall forever
With you I'll never part
Always holding
A special place in my heart

Up here atop
This mountain peak
Peace and serenity
Is what I seek

Trying to escape
Lifes daily grind
Some kind of meaning
I'm hoping to find

Breathing in
This cool fresh air
So far away
I haven't a care

The environment here
Can be cold and unforgiving
Kind of like
The life I'm living

Taking in
This magnificent sight
Praying to God
He'll make everything right

Porcelain doll
Lovely face
Sitting there
Full of grace

Held up by
Your wooden stand
That frilly dress
Looks so grand

Beautiful little
Baby blues
A pair of
Black shiny shoes

Wish you could speak
Unable to talk
Get off your stand
And take a walk

Face never changing
Always staying the same
Having no emotion
Is part of the game

Arms and legs
They'll never bend
Wish that you
Could have a friend

After a while
That case becomes a cage
A small price to pay
Cause you never age

Maybe someday
You'll come to life
You will find love
You'll be a wife

Why have I been
put here on earth?
What is my value?
What is my worth?

Am I destined
to be something great?
Or less than ordinary
will that be my fate?

Life passing by
not having a clue
Which way to turn?
What do I do?

Asking myself
is there something more?
This can't be it
of this I'm quite sure

On things I rely
there are just two
One is my faith
the other is you

Navigating
the sea of emotion
Is far more treacherous
than any ocean

Waves of sorrow
torrents of pain
It's enough
to drive you insane

Squalls of sadness
and of fear
If your not careful
you'll disappear

Storms of guilt
and of greed
A strong heart
you'll surely need

As your about
to meet your demise
On the horizon
the sun will rise

The clouds have broke
no more precipitation
Shining threw
are rays of jubilation

Thank the lord
these emotions did cease
For I have found
my inner peace

So now my friend
let me leave you this tip
When things look bleak
don't abandon the ship

When I sit down
At the table
I get excited
To read your label

Peeling back
Your foil cover
A small square of joy
I discover

Strawberry or grape
Jelly or jam
I don't really
Give a ****

I use a few
On my toast
That's the way
I like it most

I think I'm hooked
Don't try and knock it
I put a couple
In my pocket

When no one is looking
Into my pocket I reach
Slowly I pull one out
Man I hope it's peach

Always thinking about it
That sticky substance I crave
Won't someone help me
I'm becoming it's slave

In the fall
It's homemade preserve
On a Ritz *******
I like to serve

I can't stop
No matter how I try
I'll be a slave to the jelly
Till the day I die

From deepest ocean
to outer space
yours is the love
I can't replace

Not a setting sun
or swans majestic grace
can match the beauty
of your face

The way the moonlight
compliments your skin
to be so lovely
should be a sin

To look at you
I see perfection
I'm so glad
we made a connection

Father Time has aged you well
your very essence has me under it's spell
Never wanting to be set free
I am yours for eternity

Silently sitting
out on my chair
Lilac scent wafting
up thru the air

Forsythia blooms
so yellow and bright
Peony flowers
a pure snowy white

Birds are singing
Songs set me at ease
Trees are growing
pollen makes me sneeze

Winter has loosened
It's icy cold grip
Now it's springs turn
to captain the ship

I surrender myself to you
my dark haired sultry one
No power on this planet
can stop what has begun

It's sanctioned in the heavens
by the gods above
It's impossible to control
this sweet unbridled love

We'll make love in the moonlight
under the endless stars
Expending all our energy
this night is truly ours

Knowing all my needs
all my deep desires
using passions sweat
to quench my inner fire

We'll spend this night together
and greet the rising sun  
I'll never be ashamed
for the deeds we've done

I'll tell you this my sweet baby
on this you can surely trust
Until the next time we're together
It is you I will only lust

Distantly staring
I slowly begin to cry
I find myself wondering
Is this the last goodbye?

As you start to leave
I silently begin to pray
dear Lord bring her back to me
at the end of this day

Over the years we've grown close
inseparable we two
Oh my god what if something terrible
should happen to you

We'll be in love forever
until the very end
The thing I'm most thankful for
you are my best friend

Your love penetrates me down
to my very soul
It fills the emptiness inside me
no longer a black hole

I'll sit and wait forever
till you are by my side
Every second till we're together
will be how many tears I've cried

In this tempest
I call my soul
your are the one
who has control
Feeling threatened
always on guard
Being looked at
with disregard
Living life
as a willing slave
Feeling threatened
from beyond the grave
Will it be me in eternity?
Or some distant history?
These feelings I have
run so deep
while awake
and when I sleep
Your undying love
will make me whole
That's why your the one
who has control
of this tempest
I call my soul

False accusations
Stories and lies
Are these words against me
Merely a disguise?

Trying to cut me
Down to the quick
It's rather obvious
I make you sick

Over the last few months
The trust has been shattered
I always loved you
But that never mattered

It's always been
About sneaking around
I'm looking for love
In the lost and found

Hoping to find
A discarded jewel
One that won't make me
Feel like a fool

I'm sorry to say
that we've reached the end
So long my love
To myself I must tend

Poor black crow
Broke it's neck
Flying into glass

Kind of like
Me and you
Sorry to be crass

I'm the crow
Midnight black
Into love I fall

You're the glass
Crystal clear
With an emotional wall

I'm flying fast
into you
Emotions start to reel

Your heart is hard
Cold and gray
Seemingly made of steel

Hit so hard
Broke my neck
Ending with a crack

Left me there
On the floor
Never looking back

Hello today
It is cloudy outside
Matching the way
That I feel inside

Overcast with emotions
Of sorrow and pain
Feels like
I just got hit by a train

My feelings splattered
All over the track
The whips of your anger
All over my back

Hating to go to work
After having a fight
Wish I could stay home
To make everything right

Upon thinking about it
I sat down and cried
You are so stubborn
Me with my pride

Today when I get home
From a long days work
I'll say I'm sorry
I feel like a ****

You say it's okay
Don't worry any longer
It's times like these
That makes our love grow stronger

I'm so lucky
To have you as my wife
This beautiful home
My wonderful life

Internal fires
all a rage
Maybe it's time
to turn the page

Your words to me
have become so trite
Some time alone
would be a delight

You walk the earth
to deceive
I think it's time
for me to leave

Love and devotion
is what I need
Not to incubate
a poison seed

For us there'll be
no horse and carriage
The time has come
to end this marriage

To the dark figure
in my house late at night
Is it really me
your trying to fright?

Seeing your shadow
crawl under my bed
Why are you trying
to mess with my head?

Did you follow me home
from a place far away?
I can't make you leave
your will is to stay

You enter my dreams
moving across the floor
grabbing my feet
pulling me under the door

Then you will drag me
to the end of the hall
Open the door
down the stairs I will fall

Hitting my head
on each stair it'd seem
Pain starting to sear
I let out a scream

When I woke up
I was covered in sweat
this a dream
that I soon won't forget

The love that you give
Is just like a drug
I need a fix
Give me a hug

There is no help
No way to detox
Somebody help me
I'm hooked on a fox

You have a strong hold
One I can't kick
Every time I try
I start to feel sick

There is no needle
To stick in my vein
Just a simple kiss
Or I'll go insane

No pill I could take
To give me that feeling
Anytime without you
My senses start reeling

Nothing I could smoke
To get me that high
If I'm without you
I surely would die

You bring your frosty cold touch
Everywhere you go
All it takes is one wave of your hand
And the plants cease to grow

Plants look at you like icy cold death
Of this don't be mistaken
There's only one way to survive your touch
Inside they must be taken

He forms a white frosting
On the pumpkins by morning
His presence a prelude to winter
Of this you should take warning

He welcomes winter with great fanfare
On this you can be certain
Walking barefoot in the snow
His feet never hurtin'

Sometimes he'll make an appearance in spring
When flowers are starting to grow
Then with one icy look
He'll end the colorful show

Only one thing can stop him
End his frosty ways
His mortal enemy the sun
With it's warming rays

When the time has come
The earth I shall leave
Promise me
That you will never grieve
Don't waste your time
Being sad
Remember all the times
That we had
Times of laughter
And of joy
I' ll always be
Your baby boy
Our life together
Had more love than most
Lets raise our glass
For one last toast
To the girl
Who made my life
You have been
An incredible wife
Dry that tear
Don't you cry
I'll be watching
From the sky
Always making sure
That you're okay
Till we're together
Again one day

This is the ride
that I hate to take
Somber feelings
heart going to break

Time to leave
our little abode
Pulse is racing
I'm going to explode

In the car
I'm going to work
these aching feelings
hard to shirk

The miles are passing
each one like years
Down my cheeks
streams an ocean of tears

Is this the one ?
Is this the ride?
The last time
I'll feel you by my side

If this is the day
If this is the time
Never again
will my words rhyme

For you are my world
my life's destination
Without you in it
I'd have no inspiration

Time is racing
Always going so fast
One minute the future
The next it's the past

Oh so fleeting
Quickly passing by
One day your born
The next you die

Always chasing you
Staying closely behind
No sense in hiding
It is you it will find

No drugs or operations
Can fool this persistent friend
With you from the beginning
Following you till the end

Don't waste time worrying
Leave it all to fate
Before you know it it'll be over
Enjoy it before it's to late

Picking the lock
That you keep around your heart
If I were a locksmith
That would be a start

I don't know the code
I haven't a key
I will keep on trying
For all eternity

I must never stop
Those chains I must break
Not to have you
Is something I can't take

An emotionless prison
That's where I'll be
I must get out
I must be set free

By any means necessary
This job I'll get done
Nothing can stop me
Not even a gun

Sooner or later
Your love I will win
I will be patient
For our life to begin

You shouldn't worry
Don't have a fear
Whenever you need me
I always be there

Emotions coming back
Marring up my brain
It happened months ago
But I still feel the pain

There was no physical contact
Nothing at all
No verbal communication
Not even a call

It was just a thought
Or maybe a dream
But to me my love
How real it does seem

Intimate thoughts
To a total stranger
Never knowing
You could be in danger

These feelings
I must keep in side
Many nights
I broke down and cried

I will always love you
To the very end
I'll try to be happy
At least I'll pretend
