Dreams may extend
An olive branch to your soul
They may broker a deal

Please lend me an ear
Though you hold me close , please hear
When and why I fear.

Thinking for yourself
Straying from the status quo
Free in thought and mind

C'mon roll the dice
Watch your money disappear
Love is a crapshoot.

Time has opened my mind
Door ajar to fresh new thoughts
Old ones unrefined
Thought all of humanity
Was cruel and unkind
Thought my heart was their target
Not how they're designed

You want me to be
Like a human pinata
But do you see me?

I remember when
Candy was ten for a dime
Carefree was priceless.

Body language speaks
But you don't listen to mine
So hung up on words

If I were to lie
I'd say alls right with the world
I feel right as rain.

Words won't reach the shore
"I love yous" kept in a chest
Claimed by ocean depths.

How then , does love end
When like acid their words burn ,
right through to your soul.

Often tell myself
If I had millions to spend
Couldn't buy me time.

Retracing my steps
My path not yet really clear
Steps forward I fear

Think about someone
That you're like a stranger to
Then you've thought of me

We can't reconcile
You've put distance between us
Miles I cannot walk.

Sanity is tricky
Just when things are looking up
Your mind stumbles down.

Eighth grade , yearbooks signed
Drivers license , first paycheck
Then prom king and queen

What the future brings
Predictions are made in vain
Time holds fast the clues.

I know just who you are
You hate and belittle me
My mirror image.

Before my coffee
Poured juice on my cereal
Newspaper blurry.

I am mystified
Dreams come in bits and pieces
The night but a blur.

The sun is so shy
Couldn't show her face today
The clouds form a veil.

Words best left unsaid
The truth can be a burden
When pain will be spilled.

Social butterfly
Late for wedding bouquet toss
Caught by early bird.

Holding close the truth
Unbreakable is the bond
A love born of trust
