I'm sometimes in the limelight
Not by my own request
But there are young observers
And I must pass their test

They'll be evaluating
The character they see
And some of them may imitate
The side I've shown of me

So let the smile be friendly
This helping hand no less
And let my legacy be one
Of having shown my best

I just want to hide with you.
Feel my life collide with you.
Close me eyes and breathe with you.
Feel our bodies' heat with you.
Smiling, laughing, crying, fighting,
want to do it all with you.
Tell me things that I don't know
show me places I won't go.
Then at the end of the day
we'll smile because we found a way.
We have secrets we can keep
Let's just sleep darling, long and deep.

I sit here. And you?

                                     You sit there,

away from my sight,
smelling only your scent
diffusing in the air.

And the silence grows everyday,
keeps on destroying,
keeps on ripping the love
once we thought was true,
the love we kept on hoping
to exist forever.

But now,
I'm sitting here, and you?


                                                          ­   You're sitting there,

getting more far
where I can no longer see
even your shadow.
And your scent,
it's fading this time.

Now I stay in silence,
becoming deaf,
now I'm deaf,
caused by the loud silence
that enters my mind so deep.

Now I can't even hear
the beat of my heart.
But glad I could feel it,
I could still feel it
thumping slower, and slower,
but slower.

And now I'll live in silence,
forever.

Your intelligence inspired me and compelled
     Me to reach for higher fences.

Your beauty disarmed me and caused
     Me to cast aside closely held defenses.

Your touch warmed me and stimulated
     Every one of my senses

Your Love engulfed me and motivated
     Me to shed long held pretenses.


Sadly...

Your heart now evades me and embraces
     All of my offenses.

Broken, he found me lying there
He cleaned and fed me and took me upstairs
He lay me down and covered my scars
I felt free for there were no bars

I had been tired, is what I'd said
And my guardian angel its more than widespread
A gentle hand brushed my forehead
Sleep my sweet, is what he said

As he got up to walk away
I pulled him close and asked him to stay
He replied, my love, for not today
Our time will come, I'm here to stay

He held me till my tears had dried
Until the hurt and pain had subside

He must have left throughout the night
For when I woke up he was out of sight

I looked around this new room of mine
I saw some clothes left on the side
And a note from my angel it read...

Good morning sunshine I hope you slept well
Please treat this place as it's yours to sell
Theres breakfast in the kitchen and a place to freshen
The day is your own do as you please
I'll come home and fall at your feet
Call if you need me.
Signed your A N G E L.

I freshened up and wondered around
Is this my new place and where I am to be found?

Time passed quickly from reading
a book
For the first time in ages I had a brighter outlook

Angel returned home and started to cook
I watched him attentively, not just a look

We talked and laughed till the early hours
My angel, I thought, has special powers

Days passed by and I started to grow
I even learned how let go

The past is the past for this now I know
The future is for me to love and grow
