I think I'm leaking inspiration
It's running off of my page
Or maybe I'm just forgetful
And I'm only starting to age

Maybe the doctor can help me
Get back to feeling young
Give me a shot in one of my arms
Or a pill to put under my tongue

Words don't seem to fall in place
They keep dripping onto the floor
I've got buckets sitting everywhere
I just can't write anymore

Whenever I write, I fall asleep
I guess it's because I'm bored
Waking up, scared half to death
Only because I snored

The doctor has to help me
There has to be something to use
I'll get him to give me a prescription
Maybe a bottle of muse

This color is yet to get a name
Though most have seen its hues
For some this color is not yet known
For they've yet to pay their dues

There are no words to help describe
This color we carry inside
It's never seen the light of day
In darkness, it chooses to hide

Though many have tried to define it
None can comprehend
You need the light to see the colors
But the light cannot decend

Empty spaces and hollow dreams
Encompass its outer core
Shadows of what used to be
Block the only door

This color though it has no words
Will tear your world apart
A color that has no name at all
Is the color of a broken heart

I've heard it said that poems of love
Are nothing more than cliche'
Everything's been written, everything's been said
In every conceivable way

They've written about the ocean's blue
Or a smile that could envy the sun
They write of this thing called undying love
Until their days on this earth are done

But what about you're the reason God gave me lungs
To shout your name from the highest of hills
And the reason He made those goosebumps things
When your touch keeps giving me chills

And what about those unanswered prayers
For He knew I was waiting for you
And the part where He says in sickness and health
And the cancer you're going through

For richer or poorer and our money is gone
Hospital bills that we just can't pay
But I want you to know if you stay or you go
I couldn't love you more than I do today

She said, "Daddy leave the light on,
For you know I'm afraid of the dark"
I couldn't tell you how many times
I've heard her make that remark

I'd always wait 'til she fell asleep
Then sneak and turn off the light
Then pull the covers off her head
And kiss my angel goodnight

I've killed at least thousand monsters
Who live beneath her bed
But every night she'd sleep with the light
And cover her tiny head

I woke up early sunday morning
And decided to peak inside
Only to find in the middle of the night
My pride and joy had died

They say she had an embolism
She passed away in her sleep
I dreaded the burial most of all
Some place dark and deep

She said, "Daddy leave the light on,
For you know I'm afraid of the dark"
I couldn't tell you how many times
I've heard her make that remark

Wilted flowers standing side by side
Candles with melted wax
One shadow cast where ever you go
Now just one set of tracks

A whisper can no longer be heard
No promises to be paid
Closets get larger with plenty of room
A bed is easier made

One straw stands alone in a glass
There's always an empty seat
There's more room now at the table
With plenty of food to eat

Yesterday seems like so long ago
Tomorrow? there isn't no hurry
The phone doesn't ring, you could care less
You don't have a reason to worry

This is the way a relationship dies
It's been this way for years
Life goes back to the way it was
Sometime after the tears

A silent emotion mixed with ink
A memory that just won't die
An ocean of tears brought to the brink
When you're much too broken to cry

A place where your pain can go to hide
Or a grave to bury the past
A sad goodbye to a love that's died
Or a future that didn't last

A place where your dreams just fade away
For you realize they wasn't real
A voice to those with nothing to say
When you're much too damaged to feel

Regret is spoken without a sound
Where "I love you" is just a waste
Where "I'm sorry" can always be found
"Forgive me" is uttered in haste

Words in this poem are now my life
Our marriage, nothing but a theft
I once was proud to call you my wife
Now these words are all that is left

All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put our love back together again
You've broken the trust that acts as the glue
There's nothing to fix between me and you

The words that we used are now said in vain
The memories we grew are reminders of pain
The smiles that we shared are lost to the past
The promises we made, destined not to last

Our love has been banished because of your lies
Your repeated transgressions have broken all ties
"I'm sorry" to me is but a very old song
That tells of the things that always went wrong

A knight I was not, I made no such claim
I promised no fortune, I promised no fame
I promised no castle that stood on a hill
But yet you promised your love to me still

'Twas a dragon called lust that tore us apart
His flame of desire has captured your heart
And all the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put our love back together again

Alone in the dark I wait for the light
To show me where I belong
I can't find my way until it is day
But the darkness is lasting so long

The things that I see in the darkness
Shadows are tempting the light
But there's nothing to fear for I'm used to it here
And your day will still be my night

Born in this world of silent screams
I can't even see my own tears
Try to understand I see with my hand
The darkness has held me for years

I wish someone would turn on the light
And let me taste what it's like to be free
But for now I am found in this world made of sound
Hoping that one day I'll see

Alone in the dark I wait for the light
Just a glimpse I'm praying to find
But I'm trapped in this hell with touch, sound and smell
For that's what it's like to be blind

The stars reflect her beauty
While competing for her smile
Each one thinks her love is theirs
While filled with blind denial

She continues to entice them
As each one feels her stare
Her love belongs to all of them
But none will choose to share

A falling star is nothing more
Than a star with a broken heart
Crippled by her rejection
It will suddenly fall apart

Whenever you see a twinkling star
It's just the Lover's dance
Vying for her attention
In its quest to find romance

The Dippers, both big and small
Were formed to quench her thirst
They stand in line to honor her
As they battle to be the first

The Northern Star takes precedence
As he points which way to go
His countenance is blinding
As he absorbs her radiant glow

So, don't forget to watch the stars
And smile each time they swoon
For now you know this love story
Between the stars and moon

Beneath the altar of broken hearts
I find a shallow grave
A headstone stands in evidence
Of all the love I gave

A broken heart lies void and still
Yet no one seems to care
I watch as people slowly pass
But no one knows it's there

No flowers were placed upon my grave
For I play my part so well
I try to hide my broken heart
While hoping people can't tell

I start to wonder how many graves
Lie silent without a sound
How many hearts lie broken
And yet they're never found

Beneath the altar of broken hearts
Lies a shallow grave
A headstone stands in evidence
Of all the love I gave

The sun will rise each morning
While looking for the moon
He tries his best from dusk 'til dawn
To make his beauty swoon

He waits around at twilight
Hoping that she'll appear
But everytime she smiles at him
He has to disappear

The stars will all bear witness
To the love that can never be
They're like two ships lost in the night
Just passing on the sea

The sun will help the flowers grow
And the moon controls the tide
A present to the bridegroom
And a present to the bride

Though they'll never be married
They live to light the sky
Content to pass and say hello
As each one passes by

Time is a lot like distance
When a memory is concerned
The older we get the further we are
From the things that we once learned

One more day is another mile
From the way that we were taught
The priceless time when we grew up
A memory that can't be bought

The day we finished high school
We thought that we were grown
One more mile and another day
As we set out on our own

Then the day that we got married
We would walk a few more miles
Another day and further away
As we faced our troubles and trials

Time is a lot like distance
Every second that we roam
It slips away a little each day
'Til we're a million miles from home

I'll write your name with rose petals
And lie them on the bed
Put lilacs on your pillow case
Where you lay your lovely head

Your beauty renders me speechless
My words have run away
You steal my breath, with just one glance
I don't know what to say

Your smile can blind the morning sun
As you cause the flowers to faint
You could make da Vinci more famous
But you're much too perfect to paint

The poets of old lay down their quills
For all of their muses stare
For none can find the words to write
Of a vision, they find so fair

Even the diamond as it touches your skin
Sheds tears in utter disgrace
For no one can see its perfect shine
Compared to your beautiful face

Even the words that I've written here
Are scared of making mistakes
For they've asked me to read it a million times
Or ever how many it takes

A prism stains the sands of time
Where rainbows fear to go
While shining light on better days
Forgiveness starts to show

A new beginning starts to rise
To bury past mistakes
As one year passes in the night
A new one always wakes

Looking back while moving on
We see where we have been
We can't undo what we have done
But we're sorry for our sin

One day older but none the wiser
We cross the great unknown
We take the path that fate demands
To see what life has sown

A brand new world of hopes and dreams
Will meet the coming dawn
And one more year will start anew
For another has come and gone

I scream but no one listens
I cry but no one cares
I crave anything normal
Friendship? no one dares

The air I breathe is poison
I try to hold my breath
I know only one emotion
But hate won't bring me death

Everything I touch will break
I've seen it in the past
Even my shadow ran away
It's loneliness that I cast

I've given all I have to give
A breath away from falling
Death won't even look my way
I suffer while he is stalling

Tomorrow is just an illusion
Another reason to die
I wake up every morning
Just to live another lie

Sometimes a whisper becomes a shout
Found in the words that we write
The silence is broken, it has to come out
In the colors of black and white

These colors it seems know how we feel
For they somehow give us a voice
Emotion is found on the tip of our quill
Our whispers without a choice

Echoes are found in these colors too
Each time we read the words back
That's when the shout starts tumbling through
Searching for words that we lack

The poet's emotions give ink its power
A slave to the shout that they make
Sometimes it's minutes or maybe an hour
No matter how long it might take

A whisper is silent and hidden inside
A shout will make things feel right
A poet's true colors are tested and tried
As it's written in black and white

A poet's words are on his sleeve
Found mostly in the night
An emotion stirred will often weave
The words he needs to write

Some by rhyme others by prose
Whatever the poet's choice
He writes the emotion he has chose
Giving his words a voice

Some are deep inside his heart
While others are on his face
The poet tries to perfect his art
With the scars that he'll erase

His poem is written to free his soul
And make him feel complete
He'll write the words that must console
And stave off his defeat

He finds the emotion that holds him tight
Then writes his own release
He chooses his words and continues to write
Until he finds some peace

A stranger lives inside of me
One I do not know
She sees the things I cannot see
She often tells me so

I sometimes recognize her voice
It's one I've heard before
I listen 'cause I have no choice
A ghost I can't ignore

I pray for peace from day to day
But she will not hear my plea
She says that she is here to stay
She's become a part of me

She whispers things 'til late at night
My soul can find no rest
It's useless when I try to fight
But still I do my best

I've tried to **** this voice inside
My quill the weapon I use
But nothing helps, for all I've tried
I still can't silence my muse

One heart is forever scarred
The other, oblivious to the pain
One heart feels a terrible loss
The other, no loss or gain

One heart feels hopeless regret
The other, no regret can be found
One heart cries out with blame
The other, not even a sound

One heart keeps looking for fault
The other, no reason or rhyme
One heart hangs on to the past
The other, no concept of time

One heart keeps looking for answers
The other, not wondering why
One heart looks for a second chance
The other has said goodbye

Chained to all my past mistakes
I drag around my pain
The cries from my wicked past
Has become my ball and chain

I dare not beg for mercy
For mercy I gave none
There isn't enough forgiveness
For the terrible things I've done

My conscience that condemns me
Fills me with regret
Reminding me of the pain I've caused
Making sure I never forget

My memories make me weaker
A man who once was strong
The loneliness is what I hate the most
Punishment for all my wrong

I've burned the bridges that life has built
So here I must remain
Chained to all my past mistakes
Dragging this ball and chain

Born a garden fairy tale
Stands a simple rose
A story only she can tell
A story no one knows

Her beauty shines for all to see
But she's so much more than that
She longs to set her lover free
But can't see where he's at

The thorns that sit upon her stem
Will keep them far apart
She'll always be a part of him
He'll always have her heart

Deformed and twisted, not quite right
Not fit to look upon
He's buried deep and out of sight
Destined to be alone

This love between a rose and root
Will never be released
A love that he would not pollute
This beauty and the beast

The sunshine told the flowers
That you're not here anymore
Their petals just don't seem to smile
Quite like they did before

Your name is whispered in the wind
Each time I feel the breeze
The willows miss you since you left
And all of the other trees

The birds won't sing their happy songs
Like they did when you were here
The rainbows come to look for you
But then they disappear

You always took care of the flowers
Now the flowers take care of you
You fill them with your presence
The way you used to do

In a beautiful bed of roses
Is where the angels let you sleep
But you're the most beautiful flower
That the roses will ever keep

A poem is never the words you read
It's what's written between the lines
For the words can only plant a seed
To grow the emotion a word defines

A feeling trapped inside our hearts
Or maybe a place we haven't seen
The words are where emotion starts
But the meaning is always in-between

For our words can never write a smile
But yet you know it's there
It has nothing to do with the poet's style
Or even the words they share

The words we write have a silent voice
That the poets call their muse
But interpretation is the readers choice
From the words we didn't use

Emotion is always, the in-betweens
Our words are only the signs
To understand what the poet means
You must read between the lines

A poem is never the words you read

But the meaning is in-between

For our words can never write a smile

From the words we didn't use

Emotion is always the in-betweens
Our words are only the signs
To understand what the poet means
You must read between the lines

Somewhere between you and me
There's a void I can't get by
A place I just can't seem to cross
No matter how hard I try

There are too many broken promises
Surrounded by too many lies
It's been there since the first time we met
I should have seen it in your eyes

Too much history for a future to grow
Where love's supposed to dwell
My heart is too hard for love to spring up
It's something I can already tell

There are too many tears for the sun to dry
Too many, "I'm sorry's" used
There's too much for me to try to forget
This time my heart has refused

Somewhere between you and me
Is where our love has died
You've made my heart push you away
Though we're standing side by side

Beyond the mountain's whisper
Is a land where dreams are grown
Where the seeds of hope are planted
And the wishes in life are sown

It's guarded by children's laughter
Where nightmares are cast aside
A place where darkness fades away
And the sun refuses to hide

Where way up high beyond the clouds
The garden of smiles is found
Where all of our happy endings
Are lying on top of the ground

A place that's neither here nor there
For it's simply in between
A land that only a few will find
A place that's seldom seen

Beyond the mountain's whisper
Is a place where tears are banished
A land where hopes and dreams are grown
When all your cares have vanished

Beyond the mountain's whisper
Is a land where dreams are grown
Where the seeds of hope are planted
And the wishes in life are sown

It's guarded by children's laughter
Where nightmares are cast aside
A place where darkness fades away
And the sun refuses to hide

Where way up high beyond the clouds
The garden of smiles is found
Where all of our happy endings
Are lying on top of the ground

A place that's neither here nor there
For it's simply in between
A land that only a few will find
A place that's seldom seen

Beyond the mountain's whisper
Is a place where tears are banished
A land where hopes and dreams are grown
When all your cares have vanished

I wander through a land of pain
Not knowing where it leads
Facing things I can't explain
My soul so torn it bleeds

While trying to make excuses
To justify my need
I find no satisfaction
No one to intercede

My prayer becomes an empty mist
A vapor, nothing real
No words were ever written
To describe the way I feel

Even my reflection screams
My glass dreams start to break
I cannot find a purpose here
My life, a mere mistake

Death is still a mystery
He will not look my way
Unless this life is truly death
I'll die some more today

I didn't know the moon could cry
But I saw it with my own eyes
It looked like rain the day you died
As tears fell from the skies

Some people said it was only rain
But I knew the moon was sad
It rose each night to stare at you
'Til the jealous stars got mad

These days it doesn't shine as bright
As it did for you back then
Sometimes it won't come out at night
Its sorrow keeps it in

The sun shines a little longer now
To cover for the moon
Some people say it's longer days
But it's because you left too soon

I saw the moon the other night
Just before the rain
But we know it wasn't rain at all
It's tears from all its pain

You're the breath that fills my lungs
The smile that parts my lips
Your touch caresses my soul within
The reason my heartbeat skips

You're the memories that fill my mind
With dreams when I'm asleep
You're the sleeve that wipes away my tears
Each time I start to weep

You're the answer to all my prayers
Though unworthy I may be
You're the reason my eyes are blind
For it's only you I see

You're the reason why the sun will rise
And the reason why it sets
You're the light that shines to light the night
No matter how dark it gets

You're the breath that fills my lungs
So should you ever leave
You'd take away the reason I live
For I simply couldn't breathe

I've read a lot of broken words
Wounded beyond repair
Sadness wrapped in tears and ink
And stories of despair

Poets are truly a special breed
They write the things they hide
Showing strangers they've never met
The pain that lives inside

Hiding their souls from those they love
Choosing paper to be their friend
Telling their secrets to a special kind
In places their hearts can mend

Hoping that someone can understand
The meaning of their grief
Where an unseen friend will extend a hand
And offer a little relief

Poets are truly a special breed
Through words that's never spoken
Though some are sure of who they are
Most are simply broken

I know he breaks your heart each day
I see it when you cry
You see him look the other way
When a woman passes by

And I know you think he's cheating
But you still believe his lies
Another piece of your heart will break
I can see it in your eyes

And I just wanted to let you know
I'll take whatever he breaks
I'll mend all the broken pieces
And keep the promises he makes

I'll hold your smile next to mine
And make it stay that way
If you'll give me your broken pieces
I'll chase your tears away

Whenever he breaks what's left of you
And your love for me increases
I want you to know that I'll be here
With all your broken pieces

I found a land with broken things
Scattered upon the ground
A place that only heartache brings
That's where my heart was found

I found a pile of broken trust
And promises everywhere
A wedding ring that's starting to rust
Too broken and bent to wear

I found a pile of broken dreams
Dreams that didn't come true
I climbed a hill of broken smiles
Smiles I gave to you

I found our future in tiny pieces
Beside a lake of tears
I tried to hold some long lost hope
But it crumbles and disappears

I even found our second chances
But the hurt just weighed too much
I found, "I'm sorry" a million times
But it was way too painful to the touch

I found a land with broken things
Scattered upon the ground
A place that only heartache brings
That's where my heart was found

I watch your kisses fade away
Your smiles all disappear
You thank God I'm home to stay
But indifferent, when I'm near

The love I see within your eyes
Are remnants from the past
I'm no longer your heart's prize
The promise didn't last

You gave your country all you had
They gave you back a chair
That's all you see, you're always sad
But war is never fair

I'd rather they shot me in the head
So I wouldn't know your name
They took away your life instead
But I'm the one you blame

I watch each day as our love dies
Crippled, I've stolen your joy
You look at me with pitiful eyes
Like a child sees a broken toy

Bent and broken, she stumbles along
Looking for a place to sleep
Tired and lonely, her family now gone
She has no tears left to weep

Eighty years old, she's seen it all
A woman who fell through the cracks
She keeps marching on refusing to fall
Not caring for the things that she lacks

Another victim of circumstance
She keeps looking for something to eat
She looks through trash to find her next meal
A task she's cursed to repeat

Fifteen years it's been this way
She no longer knows the meaning of shame
Once she owned a home and her dreams
But now she has the recession to blame

She keeps moving on from place to place
Doing what she can to get by
Her home is now a cardboard box
The place where she'll probably die

She sits all alone with all that she owns
Underneath a broken street light
She lays herself down in her cardboard home
And passes away in the night

He left His home in paradise
And stepped through the portal of time
He chose to come and pay the price
And die for another's crime

The King of Kings, who never touched sin
Was tempted by satan himself
He told Him look and all that He sees
He could give Him all this wealth

He who made the Heavens and Earth
Had no place to lay His head
He becomes a man through ****** birth
A King without a bed

From a manger to a rugged cross
To set the whole world free
Both Heaven and Earth felt the loss
That day on Calvary

To die for a stranger, a sinners death
Ten thousand angels at His command
"Father forgive them," still on His breath
A journey I'll never understand

Leaving all He knew behind
His throne was empty and bare
Knowing the only thing He'd find
Was a lowly carpenter's chair

Her Daddy was thunder her Mama was rain
And she was just caught in the storm
Rising so fast she'd take cover in vain
After the storm clouds would form

Under her bed the skies were so blue
But the thunder grew louder each day
She didn't come out 'til the rain had blown through
But the rainbows were not meant to stay

She couldn't find comfort in her hour of need
Sometimes it lasted all night
No matter how hard she'd beg and she'd plead
Her Mama and Daddy would fight

Then one day the thunder moved far away
But the rain would always remain
The day that it left she begged it to stay
It was something she couldn't explain

Her Daddy was thunder her Mama was rain
And she was just caught in the storm
Rising so fast she'd take cover in vain
After the storm clouds would form

I've whispered I love you, a million times
And I've given you ten- thousand kisses
I've written my love in five- thousand rhymes
An offering, your heart just dismisses

I've wiped at least a hundred-thousand tears
Whenever your sadness needed my sleeve
I've been by your side for twenty-two years
'Til you decided you wanted to leave

A thousand regrets imprisoned my mind
At least a dozen for each day we shared
I want back the love my heart had enshrined
For you will know that I'm sorry I cared

You've asked me to give it just one more try
I'm tired of counting, I'm saying goodbye

While most are counting sheep at night
When trying to go to sleep
The poet is searching for words to write
So the little lambs won't weep

The paper becomes the poet's sleeve
As he wipes his pain away
His pen becomes the poet's sword
To keep the wolves at bay

The sheep that cause our eyes to close
Must always be protected
For wolves can sneak into our dreams
Sometimes undetected

The poet writes of the sheep we count
While staring at the clock
Writing words to stop the wolves
From picking off the flock

So when you start to close your eyes
And count the sheep tonight
Remember the poet who slays the wolves
With the words that he will write

A darkened veil of endless pain
Cover the eyes of my heart
Like a poet imprisoned without his quill
Or an artist, without his art

Complacent in all of my choices
But reprobate to a fault
Torn asunder from the rest of the world
Scarred by endless assault

An open wound with infectious bile
A ***** that will not heal
Confused and alone, I've lost my way
Broken, I cannot feel

Like a puppet on a lonely stage
My strings are in your hands
Cursed to follow and never to lead
Just following your commands

A crooked shadow, never quite right
A place to wipe your feet
Bent in the line my heart has drawn
Never to feel complete

A darkened veil of endless pain
Cover the eyes of my heart
Like a poet imprisoned without his quill
Or an artist, without his art

Complacent in all of my choices
But reprobate to a fault
Torn asunder from the rest of the world
Scarred by endless assault

An open wound with infectious bile
A ***** that will not heal
Confused and alone, I've lost my way
Broken, I cannot feel

Like a puppet on a lonely stage
My strings are in your hands
Cursed to follow and never to lead
Just following your commands

A crooked shadow, never quite right
A place to wipe your feet
Bent in the line my heart has drawn
Never to feel complete

Sorrow only hangs her head
While walking to the floor
Pride wants all the attention
While Greed keeps seeking more

Shame hides behind the curtains
While Anger demands his way
Fear is too afraid to dance
Impatience just wouldn't stay

Joy was dancing all over the place
While Lust's heart began to burn
Love just watched with stars in her eyes
While Patience was waiting his turn

Confusion didn't know what to do
While Surprise was doing the twist
Shock was so appalled of it all
While Temptation just couldn't resist

The Broken Hearts just sit and cried
While Doubt didn't believe it was real
Now you've seen the dance of emotions
So tell me, how do you feel?

Sorrow only hangs her head
While walking to the floor
Pride wants all the attention
While Greed keeps seeking more

Shame hides behind the curtains
While Anger demands his way
Fear is too afraid to dance
Impatience just wouldn't stay

Joy was dancing all over the place
While Lust's heart began to burn
Love just watched with stars in her eyes
While Patience was waiting his turn

Confusion didn't know what to do
While Surprise was doing the twist
Shock was so appalled of it all
While Temptation just couldn't resist

The Broken Hearts just sit and cried
While Doubt didn't believe it was real
Now you've seen the dance of emotions
So tell me, how do you feel?

Dear heartache, why must you hurt me so?
What must I do to end this pain, I beg you, let me go
You rip my soul to pieces, and steal my hopes and dreams
You've clouded my perception, for nothing's like it seems

Tomorrow holds no future, I'm a prisoner of the past
Cursed to live in darkness by the shadows that you cast
Your taste is in the food I eat that's salted with my tears
Your stain is on my pillow case that never disappears

Dear heartache, when will you set me free?
What have I done to cause this pain, why must you torment me?
I've written you this letter inquiring of your spite
But I finally know the answer, you're the reason why I write

As I listen to whispers trapped in my tears
I'm haunted by regret
A shadow that's followed me all of my years
Making sure I never forget

Time has recorded the mistakes I've made
And stores them in the past
Long and winding, the path that I've laid
I didn't expect it to last

Twisted and broken as days pass me by
Time will never relent
Uncertain, disheartened, as tomorrow draws nigh
I fear it's too late to repent

I see the world with a reprobate mind
Confused in all that I see
Today is so clear but my future is blind
Whatever will be, will be

Forever I'm tied to the path that I chose
Be it Heaven or be it hell
Will tomorrow bring judgement? nobody knows
It's still too early to tell

Embraced by the silence that pierces my soul
My shadow, my only friend
Aimlessly I wander this barren place
Not knowing where my path might end

My scars are the burdens that weigh me down
A silent reminder of pain
My reason for living remains out of sight
Too broken to ever complain

The winds often whisper my name in the night
I follow where ever it leads
The darkness inhales my will to survive
Ignoring my wants or my needs

These walls of destiny impede my view
My judgement now cloudy and tired
The decisions I make are the product of fate
A reason no longer required

My future is hollow, its echo unclear
As I stumble into the night
No promises made, my hope held captive
I pray that I soon find the light

No where to turn, no where to hide
I write to set my soul free
These voices unclear I follow a ghost
This shadow called destiny

How do you mend a broken heart
That's shattered into pieces?
I tried taping together the scars
But the cracks somehow increases

It's like a puzzle that's left undone
Scattered from here to there
Strewn about like fallen leaves
And lying everywhere

Bigger pieces crumble when touched
I cannot stop these breaks
For even glue will not do
When the pieces turn to flakes

It falls apart inside my hand
I'm even too scared to breathe
Without a heart to love and feel
I'm just too broken to grieve

My heart was used for many things
Like fear, compassion or trust
But now my heart cannot be saved
For it's shattered into dust

Where is the passion that once lit our fire
Its embers grow tired and weak
Our love has grown weary, void of desire
Where is this flame that we seek

The candle has burned, the wax now cold
The wick? now gone with the flame
Then trust ran away, as our secrets unfold
With no one but ourselves to blame

The promises made, lay dying each day
As memories are starting to fade
Without reason or rhyme, it turned out this way
Just look at the mess that we've made

Our emotions now fuel this love of a lie
The truth too hard to embrace
The love that we knew has started to die
Becoming a familiar face

Familiar love is all we have left
Yet we both feel the need to stay
So here we remain in spite of this theft
Until one of us walks away

I'd build the world's longest bridge
Just to reach your heart
For there's nothing in this whole wide world
That can keep our love apart

I'd build the world's tallest tower
Just to look in your eyes
I would climb all day 'til the sun goes down
And the moon begins to rise

I'd walk until there's no more road
Just to see your smile
I would walk all day 'til my shoes were worn
And cherish every mile

I would sail the oceans far and wide
Just to enjoy your smell
Your perfume guides me day and night
Your love will be my sail

Now I'm trying to make it to Heaven
You went so far away
I'll walk the straight and narrow path
'Til we meet again some day
