FALL ALONE

Do not chase my soul
With the selfish truth unknown
Figure out the life you lead
Before you find the edge
Stifle your restlessness
You cannot be forbidden
If I feel I’m blinded by your choice
Please take my hand and lead me on
I don’t want to fall alone
What of the truth do you really know?
Have you ever told a lie before?
I have my past locked in my mind
And our future glowing in my eyes
Take my hand and fly with me
Until we can fly no more.

I WANT TO FORGET YOU

I saw the waves of hope
Drift so breathlessly in the air
That was just a heartbeat ago
I want to remember all the laughs we shared together
But his image in my mind brings a twinge of pain inside
As I burn the words he wrote to me
I burn the truth so guiltily.
