LOST BALLOON

crawling from the crash
I couldn't have died if I tried

I had a son to save

laughed
spat in death's face

pulled him from the flames
I forbade him to die

he disobeyed
the car exploded

burning the edges
of the night

I survive
without him

a death in itself
my reflection

does all the talking
I just stare in the mirror

Christmas now

I feel like a lost balloon
sticking to the ceiling
Keep me close,
Keep me true,

It is not I,
That you see,

For it is you

I am a shadow,
Noticed by few

I rely on your light,
To be the man that I doomed

Her love can heal
all those places
in my heart,
that hurts.

sun is shining
beautiful day
not a single cloud
not a drop of grey

the sun beats down
with its strong rays
feelings of warmth
all in a haze

then the sun lowers
but it doesn't set
it comes to me
and it's warmth I still get

but the sun is a planet,
it can't travel.
well thats where you're wrong
because this sun walks on gravel

my sun is human
my sun is you
my sun is warm
and it never leaves me blue

Chris, you are my sun
and you keep me warm
you keep each day bright
and keep away any storm
I love you Chris... happy valentines day:)

Do not fool youself into thinking that
at this moment
You have a clear understanding of Love
Nor that you need to.

The flavors of love are too complex to digest
Until tasted

Do not fool yourself into thinking that
At this moment
The flavors of Love experienced is all that there is.
There is so much more.

The best flavors taste delicious, are nutritious, are dependable

Enjoy the buffet
Don't get sick.

there's no explanation as to why i continue
why i was so set on you
the high hopes and continuous let downs  
lying would be that i never swore you off
that i haven't lied
that i fell for you long before i knew i did

what you do with that information
is ultimately up to you
