No Words
No words, no descriptions, no pictures, no way
To explain you, me, us, our relationship
One may say normal
One may say unique
One could say love, but is that what one could call it?
No words, no descriptions, no pictures, no way
To explain, you, me, us, anything in our world
It could be reality
It could be imaginary
It should be some of both, but is that how one could explain it?
No words, no descriptions, no pictures, no way
To explain you, me, us.
~Christie

Bleary Eyed
Bleary eyed and sleepy still
I unwrapped you of the morning
like careful fruit with forbidden flesh
made sweeter by the scorning

My hands still shaky from the kisses sweet
and the dark hours of night's embrace
I checked to see if fastened vines
my heart had left in silv'ry trace

While you slept I looked inside your chest
to see what there was growing
I saw my heart with quiet eyes
to your side its self was gently sewing

I saw my heart with quiet eyes
to your side its self was gently sewing
~by Jewel

Do I Still Love You So?
Looking at my ceiling
Not quite knowing
What I'm feeling
Not Yet grasping
What my heart is asking
Do I still love you so?

Staring out into space
Knowing that my heart will race
The next time I hear your voice
You don't give me any choice
Do I still love you so?

Knowing that I already knew
I didn't have to ask the question
Do I love you so?
I do.
~Christie

A Dream Within A Dream
Take this kiss upon thy brow
And, in parting, from you now,
This much let me a vow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown a way
In a night, or in a day
In a vision or in non
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And hold with in my hand
Grains of golden sand-
How few! Yet how they creep!
While I weep-while I weep
Oh God, can I not save
One from a pit-less wave?
Is all that we see or seem
A dream within a dream?
~Edgar Allen Poe

Blocked
Feelings come crashing in
Only to be blocked
A strange new barrier has
Been built to stop
All the feelings I want
To let out
To let you know
How I feel, but I can't
Or eles someone
Will get hurt

A world between myself
And you
Is what is needed
A dam to build up
All that is inside
I can't let you in
I can't come out
I'm blocked inside myself

A strange new person
Has evolved
Crawling from the deep
Waters onto the shore
To show itself and
What is to become

Nothing is the same
And never will be
The person inside
Has drowned in its
Own feelings
Blocked inside myself
~Christie

Morning Song
Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep
Let the world spin outside our door, you're the only
one that I wanna see
Tell your boss you're sick, hurry,
get back in I'm getting cold
Get over here and warm my hands up,
boy, it's you they love to hold
And stop thinking about what your sister said
Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed

Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore -
I'm gonna give you some more

We'll sit on the front porch,
the sun can warm my feet
You can drink your coffee with sugar and cream
I'll drink my decaf herbal tea
Pretend we're perfect strangers and that we never met...
My how you remind me of a man I used to sleep with
that's a face I'd never forget
You can be Henry Miller and I'll be Anais Nin
Except this time it'll be even better,
We'll stay together in the end
Come on darlin', let's go back to bed

Put the phone machine on hold
Leave the dishes in the sink
Do not answer the door
It's you that I adore -
I'm gonna give you some more

~Jewel

Don't
Don't walk too close
Don't breathe so soft
Don't talk so sweet
Don't sing
Don't lay oh so near

Please, don't let me fall in love with you again

Please let me forget
all those sweet smiles
all of the passion
all of the peace, the heat, the pain
all those blue skies
where your words were my freedom

Please, don't let me fall in love with you again

Too many times
I've cared too much
I stood on the edge
and saw that you held my hand
and knowing too well
I couldn't hide from those eyes

Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
~Jewel

Criminal
I've been a bad bad girl
I've been careless with a delicate man
And it's a sad sad world
When a girl will break a boy
Just because she can
Don't you tell me to deny it
I've done wrong and I want to
Suffer for my sins
I've come to you 'cause I need
Guidance to be true
And I just don't know where I can begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Heaven help me for the way I am
Save me from these evil deeds
Before I get them done
I know tomorrow brings the consequence
At hand
But I keep livin' this day like
The next will never come

Oh help me but don't tell me
To deny it
I've got to cleanse myself
Of all these lies till I'm good
Enough for him
I've got a lot to lose and I'm
Bettin' high
So I'm beggin' you before it ends
Just tell me where to begin

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

Let me know the way
Before there's hell to pay
Give me room to lay the law and let me go
I've got to make a play
To make my lover stay
So what would an angel say
The devil wants to know

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against
Because he's all I ever knew of love

What I need is a good defense
'Cause I'm feelin' like a criminal
And I need to be redeemed
To the one I've sinned against

Because he's all I ever knew of love
~Fiona Apple
