I gaze into the soul's windows
And what do I see
An abyss of muddy water
But if I look closer I can see
Specks of stolen sunlight
Streaks of the purest gold only
Prospectors can begin to imagine
By just looking I can tell what a
Gracious, warmhearted, good-natured
Person you are
That all the disingenuous individuals
Fathom
Just by looking

I’m trapped in a tower
No where to run, No where to hide
No where to go
4 walls, locked door
“Let me go; give me freedom”
I yell, I beg and plead
They won’t let me leave
Release me please

Here on earth
Everyone is fighting
Lives are being lost
People need hope

Why won't you stop?
Why won't you go?
Being pulled in 2 directions
Keeps you still

Girl
in ruffled black dress
cries because
now she is
alone

The young girl
Sits
Alone at a bus stop
Waiting for her
Broken dreams
To come
True

The stars shine so bright
On my very last night
As I look to the sky
I start to say goodbye
But then I realize
Tonight will not be the night
I last see the stars
Shine so bright

Love is just a word
Used by poets and fools
Love is just a word
That people throw around
Love is just a word
Something I may never have
Love is just a word
That I will never understand
