For The Hero
If
if I were the moon, I would follow you at night...
and caste a path for you to walk, so your feet would land just right...
and if I was the sun, I would keep a cloud nearby...
to shade you when I burn too bright, and keep you warm, I'd try...
and if I was the rain, I would come on lazy days...
and keep you company when your sad, and the sky has all turned grey...
and the wind, oh this I want to be, for if I was, I'd sigh...
and touch you softly, caressingly, as I whisper by

Walls
"I refuse" she cries into the night, " I wont" she sobs and falls...
"you wont tear down all that I have left...you can't take down my walls"...
too many dreams have died a death, crushed beneath steel toes...
too many wounds have healed and scarred, too many hidden woes...
I wont let you in, I wont let you know, I wont let you see me cry...
I wont let you see there is a heart still beating deep inside...
I'm wasted, gone, useless too, and dont forget unwise...
but if you think I have given up, look deep within my eyes...
some day I'll fly, some day I'll soar, some day I'll raise above...
and then and only then... will I be worthy of your love....
so hold me for a second, then go and let me be...
for some day I will be whole again, some day I will be free...
and then I'll ask the moon, and ask the sun, and beg the rain...
to lead me back across your path, and in your arms again...

Heed
I take heed of your silence, and will obey
will no longer speak until it's okay
Will follow the game, will play my part
will not overstep, I cross my heart
I know theres a reason, isn't there always?
a neat little excuse, some trouble or long days
I understand all and will do as you wish it
will stay here in stasis, my candles half lit
If you find yourself lonely, or find that you need
something I can give, or kind words to read
you know where to find me, Ill always be near
just close your eyes, and type "Girl, come here"
*
Tomboy
Tomboy free and Tomboy wise
at home with machines and with the guys
don't fence her in or dress her fine
or you'll take away what makes her shine
That what men find so elusive in life
Her ability to be both friend and wife
*
Should I?
Should I be mad, if you press too far?
Should I be afraid of how you are?
You have way too much effect on me
To trust you with all that I can be
Im afraid you will take it all apart
Leaving distrust and hurt in my heart
What do I mean to you? I would know
Before I trust you enough to show
Where the hurt came from and how deep it goes
And why a hero can't fight my foes
*
Deja Vu
A memory, a glimpse of the ancient past
a mental movie that plays way too fast
your words are like a script from before
when I was naive and believed in more
Now I am faced with a dilemma here
should I believe you? let you near?
I promised myself I would never fall
but the familiarity overcomes it all
Its like deja vu, this feeling I fight
that Ive known you before, that can't be right
When I want to embrace you, I pull away
when I want to tell all, I forget what to say
its like a war within, I fight alone
like something right out of the twilight zone
I only can hope that your patience will hold
and my enticement to you will never grow old
'cause I feel like I've lost you before in the past
and survived it, just barely, in the role I was cast
