LOVE AND DREAMS AND HOPE
She looked at the ground
Her face doused with confusion
No one will love him more than she ever has
More than she ever will
Oh, her face looks plenty saddened
Life’s a mystery to her
Her world is crawling on its knees
The morning sun comes up at once
To fill her eyes with light
But the dark remains to take control
The life she lived between the thoughts
Thoughts of love and dreams and hope
She knew she could not grasp
She always thought that she’d had nothing
But in return, she gained the trust
That she’d dreamt of
She used to slip and fall
Nothing to back her up
Alone in the lands of the unknown
What were once tears
Gave up her fears
She set them free
And now she walks among her thoughts
Of love and dreams and hope.

CHERISH THIS NIGHT
Entwined in the love that we’ve got
Passion and lust
And a dose of pain shimmers in the dark
The crippled stars left out tonight
Shine upon our listless hearts
No one wake me if I’m dreaming
Leave me here to love
Leave my heart in peace
Try not to be so cavalier
Just hold me and let our minds slip away
Cherish the time and cherish this night
Will my wishes be fulfilled?
In time, my love for you will be a wish.

WHEN WITH YOU
She can’t be more
Than you’ve ever wanted
Her smile’s a little
Brighter than mine
What did you do
To keep me coming back to you
The world tastes bitter
And alone with me
Quite like the emptiness I felt when with you
Of all the things I could have had
You’re the one I needed
Bu all you did was make me slip away

WHO YOU ARE
Breathe in fresh air
Just recognize where you belong
See the darkened skies
Open your eyes and see the misery
Feel the fire in the night
Don’t ever fight the tasteless thoughts
Smell the flowers standing tall
You realize all at once who you are
Who you love and whom you’ll hold.

OUR HEARTS
I looked into your burning eyes
And felt my power drain
Right into your soul
The energy within our hearts
Feels too heavy now
The words whispered within our mouths
Remain behind closed door
The love and trust we felt before
Now, I know, remains no more.

THE DAY WILL COME
The empty street she walks upon
Places burdens, bright and bold
The tapping of her traveling feet
Carry loud screams through the night
As she looks beyond the sky
She feels no humor in the dark
And she knows the day will come
When she feels the love again.

FEELINGS THAT DO HAUNT ME
I’m walking through the blackened night
My eyes are wide; I see no light
The crescent moon shining so stark
Making the air much more dark
The dimly lighted words we’ve spoken
Are now shattered, crumbled, broken
The way we look upon ourselves
Make the sane words want to repel
All the feelings that do haunt me
Know the things I will and won’t be
All the feelings that do haunt me
Know for sure what my fate will be
And as I pick a wilted rose
I realize what I have chosen
I have chosen the path I’m on
And I shall suffer till I am gone.
