Sorry
Thomas James Oct 2011
Maybe it’s me, or Maybe it’s you,
But hopefully we can get thing through.

I don’t know what to do, or what to say,
Cuz’ I’m lost without you today.

I know you’re sorry, I am too,
But knowing me, I’ll still love you.

You Know
Thomas James Nov 2011
Let me be that guy,
You know,
The one that will,
And forever be by your side.

Let me make you my girl,
You know,
The one that has,
And forever will rock my world.

Let us make this vow,
You know,
To love each other,
Forever and now.

Upcoming Failures
Thomas James Feb 2012
The world continued,
And left nothing of me,
No one realized,
How I was to be.

Life as we know it
Thomas James Oct 2011
In the beginning there was one.
But in the end there is none.

Why are we so easily deceived?
Who is to say what to believe?

We were taught right and wrong.
We all knew this all along.

Yet we don’t do as we act.
That right there is a fact.

For life is all about grief.
In the end the sadness turns to relief.

Again
Thomas James Oct 2011
There you go again,

Walking away,

Leaving me behind,

With nothing to say.

Smile
Thomas James Oct 2011
I don’t know how to say this,
But it’s really hard to deny,
You look beautiful today,
Especially with that little smile.

If life was simple
Thomas James Oct 2011
If life was simple,
I would be happy,
But it isn’t,
That’s why I worry,

So many choices,
Which one to pick,
Seems like nothing works,
It makes the soul really weak,

Maybe it’s time to let go,
A few changes would be nice,
Just have to learn from the past,
Hopefully this can make me wise.

I
Thomas James Oct 2011
I
Things have changed,
We are not the same,
We cannot stop our changing ways.

It’s too late to believe,
We have been deceived,
By this life we want to leave.

We try to understand why,
But it is all a lie,
About our world and this crazy life.

Now it’s our time,
For us to shine.
To show this world what it means to be I.

Today I overheard an old man say,
“Let your imaginations free,”
It made me smile and think,
Of my worst enemy, Poetry.

Another Life
Thomas James Feb 2012
His past broken,
His present shaken,
His future taken,
His life forsaken.

See it for what it's worth
Thomas James Oct 2011
If we all see the world in a different view,
If we all walk in someone else’s shoes,
Will we feel any different?
Will we feel any regret?

What if you saw your parents die,
What if you walk into a world of lies,
Will you feel like the world is against you?
Will you feel like there’s nothing you can do?

Now stand for yourself,
Because no one will give you help,
This is your life to live,
Understand what to believe,

If someone helps you along the way,
Take it, it will lighten load for a day,
But never be dependent for too long,
Show the world you are strong,

You can be a better person,
And all you need is a reason,
To achieve this peace,
It can all start with a simple wish.

The Sun and The Moon
Thomas James Oct 2011
Isn’t she beautiful?
Just look at how she glows,
But yet she’s lonely,
If only he knows.

When he is up,
She’s always away,
When he is down,
She brightens our day.

But there has been times,
When he would visit her,
Even for a few minutes,
They were together.

What it was
Thomas James Oct 2011
I’ll let you go,
So I can catch you again.
I want you to know,
I’m here as your friend.

I’ll be here everyday,
Waiting for you.
Cuz’ I don’t know what to say,
Or what to do.

I’m lost in a thought,
Not of you or us.
But instead lost,
Of what it was.

Why?
Thomas James Oct 2011
Why did I even care?
You were never there.
I loved you,
But you never followed through.
