Answer me why
When I am away
You act all strange
Indifferent to the things I say.

Answer me why
When I am close
You love me more
Hold me tight
And never let go.

Share with me
What goes through your mind
Seems so confusing
When you don't let me inside.

We've been together for a long time
Share your thoughts,
Your wishes,
What you most desire.

Open your heart,
I will keep it warm.
Why not trust
The one that you love,
The one that won't hurt you
And will only hold you close.
sometimes, i wish these words could hold you.
i wish they could wrap their consonents arround your shoulders,
and i wish their vowels could whisper secrets in your ear.

i wish that these words could make 700 miles seem like right next door.

i wish that these words could derail trains,
sink ships and clip the wings of even the mightiest birds.

what if, these words could stop you in your tracks,
send a chill down your spine,
and hum you the simplest lulaby.

what if these words could send your heart racing,
make your eyes well with tears,
and help your spirit soar.

I cried when I broke her heart
I’m not too scared to say.
It wasn’t easy
but it’s never supposed to be
Is it?

We try to find
what we really want,
searching far and wide
Sometimes too far and too wide.

What we had, in my own opinion,
was amazing.
Mostly.
Was it supposed to be completely?
Maybe…?

It wasn’t something I cared for,
that reason why I cried.
But the tears helped wash away the pain,
and helped me realize.

I still love her.
Not the same, but still.
She’s been to Hell and back
and I just stoked the flames.
But I love her.

I don’t think I’ll forget her,
the times I care to remember.
They were good times,
truly they were.

I guess I’ve come to terms with it,
but a little action wouldn’t hurt…
All joking aside (or was it a joke?)
I hope she’s okay.

I never meant to hurt
either her or me.
What’s done is done
and I’m still here,
got no plans to go anywhere.

Anytime soon now,
something may happen
and when it does I’ll be ready
to make it right.

For me.
God moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take,
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast,
Unfolding every hour;
The bud may have a bitter taste,
But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan his work in vain;
God is His own interpreter,
And He will make it plain.
One day your fear will come,
and you may surrender
But I'll be here,
in the faint color of your lips
To tell you a story,
about your brave risk
Of how you overcame your biggest fear
-
Your fragile skin was pale,
fragile,
dissolving away
Your eyes defined the fear
There was only so much you could see,
but your passion to fight was immense
I didn't want to leave you,
but I let you fight in your defense
-
You lost the battle,
and your fear won
My decision was painful,
I wish it's something I would've undone
Because now you are left in pieces,
all over the floor
Not sure if you can stand pain anymore
-
I left you in your battle,
and it's all been done
You were defeated,
it was my fault
I didn't help,
you're gone.
do not steal
Your eyes showed light
From a clear starry night
As you stared into mine
I took it as a sign
As the clouds rolled in
Water hit your face
And fell off your chin
So you found a place
Next to my heart
Where you'd stay warm
Until the clouds would part
And take away this storm
But neither could resist
To relieve all the pain
So we had our first kiss
Standing in the rain.
They will find you
Where ever you go.
You can't hide
You can't run.

They know where you are,
They keep tabs on you.
They know what you do,
And know who you're with.

They know when you cry,
When you laugh,
When you curse,
They just know.

They're not there to hurt,
They're there to help.
You may not think it,
But its true.

They'll fail you
Meaningly,
Unintentionally.
You just don't know.

They'll be there for you.
You just don't know.
Don't let your fear get in the way.

Do all you ever did,
Change not a thing.
Be who you are,
And you'll be just as safe.

friendship is a shepp
which never sinks
friendship is a gold
which cant be sold
friendship is a treasure
which cant be measure
friendship is to make
not to break
There is a pain swelling
Like a boat listing in the ocean
And every time, all I feel is the sickness
Sickness with Pain.
One and One make Two..
So why am I all alone?

Because the Two has split
And I'm alone as One
Shattered to millions of pieces,
With no hope for recovery,
Because you stole my chance
The Glue for My Heart is gone.

And everytime the Two talk,
it is like a song stuck on repeat,
With me writing false messages
Of Hope and Wonder for the Future
And desiring to speak my mind to You
I'm Alone and Lost without My Light

And How I Really Feel is Sick
Sick, Disgusted, Lifeless, Hated
Prove me wrong, My Second Half,
And take a walk down Memory Lane
Open up the pain and embrace it with me
Because with You I can feel at peace
With Myself

But Deep Down, I feel it is my fault
