She was in troubled waters
She could not keep her head up
She fought
She was in despair
She asked if I could be her bridge
She cried, she begged
Yes, I said
I will be her bridge over the troubled waters
I will save her
Save her from the abusive relationship
Save her from emotional turmoil
But I always knew she'll walk off
Once she feels safe
No one stays on the bridge
I still did it.
I chose to be her bridge
I let her use me.

A horse bolts from the gates
From the saddle the jockey guides it
Together they work in a tandem
The crowd rises to its feet
The pace gathers
Surely they have this in the bag
Everthing seems to go plan
The gamblers cross their fingers
Others nervously chew on their nails
Now only the front three can win
Suddenly, it all comes to halt
A crushing ,harrowing stop
The horse had looked to the side
Rattled by the screaming crowds
Saw the other Jockey waving his stick
The other horses seemed too close
He lost focus ,he pulled up
Throwing the jockey off the saddle
He did not have any blinders on
He failed to keep his eyes straight
Because of this, many hopes were crashed
A certain win has become a tragedy
Such is life, we all need blinders
There are many distractions,
Especially from people who feel threatened
To get to prize , the mind must clear and focused
Like a horse our mind needs BLINDERS .

Me
I gotta be me
What else can I be
That's all I know how to be
Sorry am not your usual cuppa tea
I know you wish for a different me
Sorry you are barking up a wrong tree
Keep walking and don't mind me
May be the other me you don't want to see
To disagree on this,we must agree
Like the wind let me be free
I gotta be me

She lived a cross the road
After many years apart I hoped our paths would cross
I hang to hope like nun to a her cross
I walked down the street the other day,there she was
I hurried across , my heart quickly losing its rhythm
She chatted away happily with her pal,oh did not seem to note anyone else
I called her name, a lot of excitement in my voice
She turned around and looked startled,her smile disappeared
For a moment she did not seem to recall who I was, then it came to her
Still, she stood wondering what the excitement was about

There's no one else in the world but us
Everything else seems a world away
Let me ****** your heart
Fill your mind with imagination

Let's give in to this craving
Let my touch leave your spine tingling
A yearn for that lasting feeling
That thirst which needs quenching
I see fire in your eyes
These are flames of desire
You are trembling with eagerness
Candle light flickers
Your perfume engulfs me
It's time , I make my move.

She gave all she had and more
Sweat seemed to come out of every pore
She felt the betrayal in her core
She wondered why she did not see it before
Every piece of her being , he tore
She felt treated like a cheap ***
But in her, he's got himself a foe
Oh boy her soul is sore

Yesterday I was a foregone conclusion
Yesterday, my dreams faced a sunset
Yesterday I running on an empty tank
Yesterday the night came at noon
Yesterday, I walked on lonely road
Yesterday, no one gave me a prayer
It's a wrap they said
That was Yesterday
