~ The Tables Turned ~

Written on July 22, 2001
Sometimes I sit alone at night
Wondering what life is like alone
For it seems that through it all I was right
That the one you wish to be with never shows
The darkness is not so lonely it seems
When you know your love was never there
Just like how you can forget your dream
Of ever being with the one for whom you care
Never before have I felt so betrayed as now
Not once have I ever been so upset
For I offered her everything from the sun to clouds
And all she ever did was try to leave and forget
Well no more of the games, you see
No more will I wait for you
I have better things to do than linger around for thee
There are plenty out there from which to choose
Pouring over mementos of the past
They only fuel my anger more
I believed everything and patiently sat
While you traipsed around never writing me one word
Those times are over now, dear
It is time to prove your love for me
No more lies or excuses, is that clear?
I am sick and tired of all the bullshit, don’t you see?
I offered to give you a better life
I even promised to take care of you for better or worse
And all you do is clench and twist the knife
The same blade with which you stabbed me once before
I have had enough of your sick games
I am tired of being your little toy
All you have done is add fuel to the flames
And ended any hopes that I have for joy
Why is it that you insist on being so sick?
To sit here and play with my mind so oft
The reasons are so numerous they arrive in thick
And plaster themselves around my heart to make it clot
What am I to you, I wonder?
Do you think I am some lost and scared little boy?
Well this is not a child’s heart you have blundered
Nor am I content on being your little toy
I am tired of the promises you break
I hate how you are never around
You always pledge to stay
But can you ever be found?
When I need you the most are you there?
When I take you back do you stay
No, only when I leave do you care
It is then when you decide to not waste another day
And once again I fall for your tricks
Thinking that maybe you have changed
Only to discover that you are even worse at this
Failing to prove that you are no longer the same
Well take your promises elsewhere, hon
I no longer wish to hear them uttered to me
When you left you took my moon and sun
Leaving me with darkness impenetrable by any who wish to see
Not that any one would care to gaze at my form
Mangled and beaten beyond repair
Yes, your games sure did work
Would you like to see what happened when you were no longer there?
Everything is so dark within my world painfully renowned
But it isn’t like you even care
So go find another playmate with which to fuck around
But do not count on me ever being there
I have my own life to attend
With people who are not afraid to love
Unlike you who I do not even wish for a friend
Please go find another toy to push around and shove
Does this poem hurt you, angel?
Does it rip you up inside?
Maybe then you will finally see how you left me to dangle
Without any hope of finding the ever teasing light
Did the tears flow free from your eyes?
Did the cry tremble your lips?
Good, now you know how I felt with your lies
And how it pained when you refused to give me even the slightest kiss
Did you cry out in pain when you read these lines?
Did your hands shake in fear?
Good, maybe you’ll realize how I feel when you hide
How scared I am that from you I will never find much needed cheer
But I am sure none of this occurred
Not one feeling wracked your frame
Such is what happens to one who likes to burn
After awhile they no longer feel the blazing pain
I am sure you laughed at this
And shook your head in disbelief
But, honey, you have just been dissed
Now please be gone from me
I do not wish to hear from you
Not one phone call, mail, or letter
I do not care how you or anyone else is doing
If you are sick, do not call to tell me you are better
If you have a nightmare in the midst of sleep
Do not call for me to soothe you or your mind
When your soul or heart cries out for me
Remember that you ruthlessly ripped out mine
I have better things to do than waste my time
Especially on someone not quite so important to me
Someone who spoke nothing but horrendous lies
Someone with whom which I never wish to be
So be gone little girl
Go find another toy with which to play
Or maybe you should give this thought a whirl
How about treating a man the right and intended way
But it will still be too late for us
I will never fall for you again
Even when I am lonely, you I will never trust
You will never even be my friend..

Transpiring deep within my soul
I travel on although I cannot see
I can no longer hear the lies you’ve told
No longer believe the promises you have failed to keep
Do you know what it feels like to lay in bed
And pray for sleep to claim your eyes?
Do you know what it is like to wish for death
Than to ever believe your Love has lied?
I do
I do and I feel its pain
I do
I do and never will it happen again
To what end would I travel into the past
Feel your consciousness so near to mine
I would give anything just for that
Just to have your undivided attention and time
Do you know what it is like to wait for hours on end
To hear the phone ring it’s elated tone?
Do you know that for you any rule I would dare to break and bend
If only it meant that you I could hold
I do
I do amidst false hope
I do
I do and I have reached the end of the rope
I choke within this lonely chasm of despair
My heart growing dark and black from the pain
But it isn’t like you really care
If you did then your love would never be restrained
Do you know what it is like to fall for an eternity
Your hopes and dreams never coming true?
Do you know what it feels like to hear your own heart pounding
To that ever depressive and lonely tune?
I do
I do and I do not know why
I do
I do but no more will I put up with this in my life
Can you not feel my pain and loss
Echoing clear within my soul?
Begging to be released at any cost
But fearful of the danger it might impose?
Do you not wish to be with me?
Do you not care anymore?
If so please tell me this I am begging
Pleading for you to be honest evermore
I do
I do want to know
I do
I do want your Love to show
No light is at the end of the tunnel
No hope exists for me more or less
I have reached the skinny end of the funnel
Ready to fall forever into the emptiness
Did you think I will always wait for you?
That I will always be around to make you smile?
Did you think that while you fooled around I would always be true?
That you could always come back after the longest while?
I can’t
I can’t and it isn’t fair to me
I can’t
I can’t for I refuse to sit around while my life is wasting
Have you ever spent the evening beneath the sky
With nothing to light your way?
When even the stars and moon offer no helpful light
This is how I feel whenever you run away
Did you think that my love would always remain
Even though you rip my heart into pieces?
Did you think that I was insane
Crazy enough to ignore your dishonest misleadings?
I can’t
I can’t and decline to believe your deceit
I can’t
I can’t go back and change how you feel for me
Do you know the last time I slept sound at night
Was the last time I spoke with you?
As if your words had soothed my soul as I slipped out of sight
And into a world of dreams containing the most beautiful of hues
Did you think that I would be satisfied with that one night
That you could just call me out of the dark and lonesome mist?
Did you think that I would go on living my life
As if nothing was amiss?
I can’t
I can’t and I decline to wait
I can’t
I can’t and now it is time for you to disappear once again
Do you know that all I want is to run to you
Hold you where I know you are safe from harm?
Do you know that over all the girls you I choose
Even though you continue to break my heart?
Did you think that my arms would always be there
Waiting for you to come back ever so patiently?
That they would be around whenever you decided to care
That I would not find a girl who I loved as much as she loved me?
I can’t
I can’t risk getting hurt
I can’t
I can’t take the chance that you will convert
Where has my life gone?
My reason to exist has vanished amidst the hollow guarantees
Like missing notes from the most beautiful song
So has life vanished, ending its sweet melody
Will you ever come back and assure your love?
And this time will you keep them for all our lives?
Will you allow me to treat you like an angel from above?
When I ask for your hand will you happily oblige?
I wish
I wish that you would come back to me
I wish
I wish that for once you would let your heart go free
Just like a missing link in a fairytale
So do I feel amiss from life
As if I have conjured an entity of lonely hell
Filled to the brim with darkened strife
Where has the fairytale fallen?
Did the villain finally win?
Has the hero failed to hear the princess calling?
Will I ever find my own happy ending?
I wish
I wish that you would rescue me
I wish
I wish that for once your promises would lead to honesty..
But most of all I wish that just for once
You would be straightforward with me
And that just for once
You would tell me why you never let me love thee...
~ The Distance Between ~
At night I look back upon my life so plain
Wondering if there is anything I would change
These are the times that I conjecture if I am sane
Pondering whether this life is worth all of the pain
Would I go back and change it all
Try harder to make that winning shot
Would I still waste nights of sleep waiting for your call?
Praying that your love I have not lost
Would I be the same arrogant fool?
Refusing to swallow my pride for but one moment
Would I still turn away and play it cool
Even though my heart and soul are in raging torment
Would your laughter still bring a smile to my heart?
Would your eyes still delve deep into my soul?
If I told you these feelings would you depart?
And be just another lost lover’s story to be told
I think how oft I have sat at the corner of my bed
And stared into the darkened night
My arms folded neatly behind my head
Praying for someone to share with me this sight
It always ends in the thunderous cry of the sky
And the torrential rain upon my windowpane
Quite fitting for the story of my life
For it seems everything beautiful seems to always change
During these times of reveled thought I dream
Gazing into the depths of my soul
Wondering if there are sights I still have not seen
If there are paintings inside I have yet to behold
Would you believe it if I told the truth
Or would you take it as another lie
These are the sorts of questions I must ask you
Do you really want me in your life?
Could I change your mind if that were true?
If not, then what would I do to prove my worth
Would I morph myself into the perfect man for you?
Would I uproot myself and throw away my sword
It is painful sometimes to move on
And oft it is even more painful to stay
So which is the trail from whence I have come
And from that path will I ever stray
If I was given more time
Would I do even greater deeds?
Devote everything to those not as well off as I
Or would I once again be overcome with envy and greed
Why is it that I seem to be never satisfied?
Why is it that I can never find my way?
I feel lost within this dark and painful life
Trapped forever in a place I do not wish to stay
Have I always made the right choices?
Or will those decisions come back to haunt me
In the middle of night when I hear disturbing noises
Will my ignorance to their existence ever end in catastrophe?
Yet through all of the darkness and pain
I hold on, refusing to let go of this place
Even when I feel that I am going insane
I can still picture your beautiful face
When I have you in my dreams
The horrific nightmares seem to subside
And the stormy rains that beat down in nature’s extreme
Cease to exist, replaced by the moon’s radiant light
Why must life be so difficult to bear?
When love is such a distance from me
Where no matter how much you care
It cannot bring her any closer, regardless of the dream
Would I change anything in this life?
If I were given the chance?
Only if it meant I was closer to your smile
And in the moonlight, you and I could dance
I could care little about the winning shot
If the victory means lonely nights in the dark
And my achievements were never anything I truly sought
For success means nothing if they only drift two people apart
Yet the time for change is now ahead
Brighter days are indeed on the rise
And to that brilliant sun I am led
No matter how hot it burns my eyes
It may take years to drift closer to you
But I have many thoughts to think on my journey
And before too long, you will see my love so true
One love lasting through all for an eternity
And as I lay asleep beneath the stars
And the full moon so bright within the sky
I dream that the distance is not quite so far
And that before long we will be together, you and I.. **Court**
~ While I Am Gone ~
Gazing out across the sea
The stars twinkling from the sky
This most beautiful sight to see saddens me
For you are not by my side
I wish you were here
My hand intertwined in thine
Bringing light to my world so drear
Sharing with me this most wondrous of nights
Why is it so hard to be apart?
Sometimes I wonder why I would ever leave at all
For I would rather stay with thee and ne’er depart
Than to sit here alone and listen to the lonely seagull’s call
Surrounded by the soothing breeze of the sea
It brings refreshment to my troubled face
For concentrating not am I on the sandy beach
But instead thinking about a much more beautiful place
I dream about lying next to you at night
Staring into those beautiful blue orbs
Hands grasping onto yours so tight
Afraid to let sleep claim me..fearful of letting go
My smile catching your crooked grin with ease
My laughter chasing yours around the room
Such is what I presently dream
Worrying and caring not about the sea’s reflection of the moon
For in my place at this current time
I would gladly take any dream involving you
Than to sit here lonely with no one to hear me cry
No one to hold me and cherish such a beautiful view
Such thoughts will always arrive
Just as my love will always remain
For I would trade it all…every night
For just one moment together without restrain
These are the thoughts I will be thinking, Shy
Every second I am away from thee
And every time I gaze up at the sky
I will be saying a prayer for us to be together and free.. **Court**
The Power
It is sometimes as quick as a bat of an eye,
Other times its the rhythm of a deep, dreamful sign,
the methods are varied, but the motive is the same,
Since the beginning of time women really haven't changed,
They have some awesome power over us men
And just when we think we're safe, they use it again.
A devastating power for which there is no known defense,
It defies the laws of common sense.
Women are born with it and master it's use at an early age
So that they can control us men for they rest of our days.
Too often men go through hell
Because of a woman they know all too well.
And it doesn't even matter what lay in store,
If a man cares enough, he always comes back for more.
A man does many foolish things in the name of love,
Her happiness is all he ever thinks of.
And whatever it takes, he will sacrifice,
She has the power to turn mighty men into mice.
Her magic flows from the heart and lies deep in her eyes.
Once she makes contact. theres no safe place to hide.
Just succumb to her, and save yourself the pain.
Boy, it doesn't matter what you do, you're doomed to be her fool again.
There's no escape from it, for it extends beyond the skies above;
Everyone, at some time, becomes a prisoner to the power of love..

**Saxon3435**
As Long As Women Need
The more I look around, the less I like what I see.
But maybe it's time to admit that the problem lies with me.
The world moves on, the times do change
And I just can't keep up with the new rules of this game.
Maybe honor and compassion have been lost to the past
And maybe it's my fault that I try to make them last.
Maybe treating women with respect is an antiquated rule,
And since I still live by it, I guess that makes me a fool.
But I think the thing thats really strange is that it doesn't bother me.
I am who I am, and that's the way it has to be.
They call me a dinosaur, the last of a dying breed,br>
But my kind will never die as long as women need.
As long as women need to know they are God's greatest gift to man,
As long as women need someone to love them and understand,
As long as heaven's in their eyes, and their soul is true beauty,
As long as women need someone to depend on, there will guys like me..

If I Could Give My Heart Away
If I could give my heart away,
I'd give it to him.
Then he could see what i see
And you'd be holding him again.
Then you wouldn't be so sad;
There would be no tears in your eyes
And when you heard "I love you,"
It would be his words, not mine.
If I could give my dreams to him,
When he laid down at night,
His arms would be around you,
He'd be loving you and holding you tight.
If I could give away my brain,
I would make him really smart
And he would know the greatest treasure in the world
Is the love that's in your heart.
I'd do anything to make you happy,
No matter what it takes.
And if I gave my heart to him,
I wouldn't have one for you to break..

The Faith of A Child
Santa Claus doesn't not exist.
There are no such things as leprechauns.
The Easter Bunny never was.
My innocence is gone.
I don't believe in unicorns.
Dragons are just a myth.
Witches and werewolves are nothing to me.
I cannot believe the fantasies I grew up with.
I was young and so naive,
Running free and running wild
And I believed every word I heard;
So blind is the faith of a child.
Now I'm all grown-up
And the world that I see
Is full of people ready to tell you
About what can never be.
I've seen alot of dreams get crushed that way,
More than a few hopes have died.
It leaves me longing for days of old,
When I saw the world through a child's eyes.

**Saxon3435**
This Dream's On Me
I was sitting at the bar
Drowning in my tears.
My baby just told me good-bye,
Left me alone to face my fears.
I was wrestling with the demons
At the bottom of my glass;
I watched all my dreams come undone
And I swore this time would be the last.
With nothing left to believe in,
I wouldn't be in misery.
That's when she pulled up a stool
And said, "This dream's on me."
She said, "I can see
Ypu've had too much of love on the rocks.
Why don't you come with me, we'll clear your head,"
And then we went for a walk.
She told me a tale
Of a land far way,
A damsel in destress,
And a prince who saved the day.
In her heart I could tell, lived the ultimate dream
Of a love that never dies.
And her faith in love was clear to see
When I looked into her eyes.
By the night's end
There was hope in my heart.
As I turned to thank her,
The first ray of sunlight pierced the dark.
I said, "How can I repay you
For showing me what love can be"?
She softly pressed her lips to mine and said with a smile,
"This dream's on me"..
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
I Wish I May
A lonely star sits in the sky,
It's just the kind for wishing by,
So I wish I may, I wish I might,
Dream the dream of her tonight,
And I pray to God of all I see,
And when she dreams, she dreams of me.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
The Truth
You may know exactly what to say to get into her heart,
But if you don't believe in them deep inside, that's where the trouble starts.
Pretty words may get her attention,
And flattery may gain her affection,
But in the end it won't matter what words you used.
Love will fail if it's not built on the truth.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
She's in My Dreams
From the first moment I saw her I knew
We were destined to live forever in a home built for two.
I long to hold her tight,
Be by her side in bed each night.
That's how things should be, not how they are.
She's in my dreams, she's in his arms.
It pains my heart to realize
The lips she kisses will not be mine.
It's not my skin that she'll caress;
She will not touch me with tenderness.
Though I love her with all my heart,
She's in my dreams, still in his arms.
I guess some things aren't meant to be,
No matter how it feels to me.
I'll always be a prisoner to her charms
And she'll always be in my dreams and in his arms.

**Saxon3435**
Vietnam
Bloody fighting, a senseless war.
No one talks about it anymore.
We fought a war we couldn't win
Against the forces of Ho Chi- Minh.
Presidents Johnson and Nixon told scandalous lies
Without ever thinking of American lives.
"We need more troops!" is all they said.
Too many Americans came back dead.
The war went on for far too long
Before we realized that we were wrong.
Guerilla warfare took its toll
On the U.S. forces democratic goal.
We signed a treaty in 1973.
In return, the North Vietnemese set some of our soldiers free.
Those who made it get only a little respect.
Some feel it is more, some feel it is less than what they should get.
The Vietnam memorial is a long, black wall
Lined with names. It's too many feet long and too many feet tall.
Thousands of lives were taken over those years.
Many hearts were filled with tears.
Painful memories are all that remain
From a war which yielded all loss and no gain.
Many families were torn apart by this war,
I guess that's why no one talks about it anymore.

My Guiding Light
She may not be from heaven, but she's an angel just the same;
There is music in the air whenever someone speaks her name.
I see a soft laughter in her eyes when she looks my way.
Around her, my heart sings when my lips can't find the words to say;
And there's a heavenly body missing when the stars come out at night.
She walks upon the earth. She is my guiding light.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
I walked a mile with Pleasure
She chatted all the way
And left me none the wiser
For all she had to say
I walked a mile with sorrow
And not a word said She
But oh the things i learned from her
When sorrow walked with me

Regrets
Life is easy in the dreams we live,
Never looking beyond our grasp.
When there is so much more beyond our reach
If we are only bold enough to ask.
This life is full of questions.
And we may never know the reason why.
But can you expect to know true happiness
If you are so afraid to try
To reach beyond what you can see
And dare to dream of love,
Not the stuff in songs or books,
But the very essence life is made of?
Can you expect to see the heavens
If you never look beyond the stars?
Can you forsake everything you can be
In the face of who you are?
Such is love, and such is life
That potential rests in what might be.
And can we dare to live in darkness
After we taste the ability to see?
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
A Gamble
I've never been a gambling man, so it comes as a surprise,
That when I see a beautiful woman, I'll risk my heart on the look in her eyes.
I'll throw caution to the wind and risk a broken heart
To hear her say I make her happy, and she never wants to be apart.
It's a game of chance and I lose more than I win,
But the only way I'd really lose is if I never played again.
As long as love exists, then dreams can rule the world.
And I will take my chances on finding that once in a lifetime girl.
Because that's all it takes to be happy in this life,
To win one time at love and make that woman you're wife.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
A Tough Transition
The hardest thing about moving on
Is knowing that everything we shared is gone.
I turned out to be just another bridge you burned.
My trials and tribulations are no longer your concern.
Now sometimes life gets rough
And everything I have to give is never enough.
There are nights, when I'm alone, I struggle to understand
Why we had to end or why we ever first began.
It's tough to look in the mirror, 'cus somedays all i see
Is the reflection of a failure staring back at me.
I've sworn I'd always be around.
Yet now I feel as though I've let you down.
You needed something from me that I could not provide
And the moment that I failed you, something inside me died.
Prayers aren't always answered, dreams don't always come true,
A couple painful lessons I had to learn from you.
But that knowing never stops the light from fading into dark
And it didn't soften the blow for my broken heart.
I gambled on love and I lost
At the time I didn't realize how much losing would cost.
If I had lost just my heart, I would've been alright,
Unfortunately I lost alot more when we said goodbye.
All I need know is to no longer need you,
But walking out on a friend is something I will never do.
And I swore that no matter what, we'd always be friends,
That I'll always be here for you until time reaches it's end.
Although, if you ever ask me to, I will go away
Treasuring each moment spent with you for the rest of my days.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
A Man You Never Knew
You say you were in love with me,
But do you even know the meaning of the word?
When you never took the chance to get to know me
Questions never asked, are answers never heard.
You were content with the flowers and the gifts,
Though they could have been from anyone.
And it's hard to think of us as over,
When we had never really begun.
There are layers deep inside of me
You never took the time to find.
The little faults and imperfections
That make me one of a kind.
So how can you sit there and tell me you you want back what we had??
When you don't even know what you lost.
You claim to be the one that's hurting,
But you'll never know the cost.
I'm the one who took the chance
And tried to share my soul with you,
But all you wanted was the picture
Of a man you never knew.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
Friendship
Tomorrow morning the sun will rise
And another day will start,
But it won't be like the ones before.
I will be carrying your friendship in my heart.
There may be miles between us,
But we're never far away.
And no matter what happens from here on out,
I want you to know I'm here to stay,
To walk behind you, or let you fly
Wherever life takes you.
Whether you need a hug, or hand, or just a smile,
I'll have an extra one waiting for you.
So no matter where you go,
Here my words, and you will know
That wherever you call home,
From this day on, you'll never have to be alone.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
Love Is...
Love's an emotion I thought I knew;
I thought I found it when I found you.
Imagine my surprise
When I looked into your eyes
And discovered I'd been wrong all this time.
You never longed to share your heart with mine.
Love's a game I don't understand;
I did all I could to try and be your man,
But everything I gave was never enough.
Yet, losing you wasn't as tough
As losing my heart
And watching it being torn apart.
Love is a sickness, alas it is true;
I never felt so ill as the day I lost you.
There was no longer anything good about life.
Nothing anyone said or did could make it right.
Without you to light the way, my world turned cold and dark,
And I soon discovered not even time can mend a broken heart.
Love is a healer, the only one;
For only love can make right what love has undone.
Only love returns the melodies to the songs that I sing,
Truly I tell you, it is a glorious thing.
Only love makes life worth living
And only love makes a heart worth giving.
~ Rob Servine ~
**Saxon3435**
In Her Eyes
I'm a man of very few words
So it should come as no surprise,
When I meet that special someone
I will see it in her eyes.
Beauty can be deceiving,
Pretty words sound the same as pretty lies.
A touch can be misleading.
The truth is in her eyes.
In her eyes I'll see her soul
And everything she will ever be.
In her eyes, I'll see my reflection.
And through her, I'll see the good that lives inside of me.
You should see them when she smiles
Because they'll have this special glow.
You should see them when she cries;
You will feel the pain they show.
When she sees something pretty, like a sunset,
There will be a look I can't describe.
I don't know what heaven looks like,
But I know I'll see it in her eyes.

**Saxon3435**
Goodbye, My Love
The two of us sat alone on her bed.
We opened our hearts and let our emotions go.
There was reminiscing over days gone by and predictions of days to come.
Smiles were plentiful,
So too were the tears.
We had never been closer than we were at that moment,
But it became heartbreakingly clear
That we had also never been further apart.
Never had my heart known so much love,
Nor had I ever felt so much pain.
And the pained look in her eyes chilled me to the bone.
I wanted so much to make the hurt go away.
I took her in my arms and pulled her as close as I could,
So afraid my world would die if I let go.
We both wept uncontrollably.
My arms went numb and I knew
I had let her go.
I tried to speak,
But my lips were shaking too much to talk;
I just turned and left,
Head down, heart broken.
Goodbye, my love.

Conflict is Everywhere
I have experienced scarcely twenty years on this earth,
Yet I have seen enough to know
It is not love that makes the world go round,
But rather conflict.
For love exists not without hate,
Neither can wisdom be without ignorance,
Nor harmony without discord.
Conflict is global, national, personal,
And for my part the conflict is great.
I am caught betwixt my beliefs of yesteryear
And an ever changing morality in society
Which becomes more explicit and accepting as time progresses.
Though what I know, see, and believe deeply concerns me
Because society appears headed in a direction
I think it is best to avoid.
My skepticism is tempered with the knowledge
That the only one I can judge with my morals and values is me
Though nations consist of majorities with similar beliefs,
And though they are governed by the same laws,
Character judgements cannot be made so universally.
The sad result of categorizing the masses based solely on the beliefs of an individual
Is the dreadful stereotype,
Which leads to ignorance and hatred.
Thus allowing conflict to rere it's ugly head.

Souls Of The Past
Dreams of the past
For thou the future lies
The sources of the dreams
are those of souls
Souls of the past
which we're forgotten
To be worried and scared
of our lives ahead
For this time we share
is those of the past
To now be known as whats ahead
For the future yet to come
With children of generations,
jus like our years of souls ringing
in our ears
From weeping and sorrow
of timely cries
To laugh and sing of joyous times
Is the souls of us forgotten
when the future is here
Jus like the Souls we forgot in our many years..

Forever in my heart
Is where I'd keep ya
Off your feet, I will sweep ya
Looking in your eyes that shine so bright
With whispers in your ears
For eternal time
Heart beats faster and faster each day
As the words' I Love You sound each day

searching for the words
they always came with ease
sitting
staring
searching
empty of the things
that qualified me with some integrity
some understanding of what should be
with no hypocrisy
I don't know me
or who I see in you
or what should I say
can you hear me
if I should tell you
I should show you
so you would see through
and you would know too
how deep it goes
and how hallow it feels
to always be searching
it can't be enough
to never know
I will find that part of me
thats why I wear this key
so you will never see
what can never be
so here I am
quietly

My Dreams Deserve me
after trying so hard to fool everyone
after finally finding comfort in this disguise of mine
you come along, armed with that smile of yours
you act like nothing had changed
that nothing is wrong
that we'll be okay
and once again I'm left standing here
just wanting to be seen and not imagined
once again in the hurt I tried so hard to conceal
while you strip me of my false confidence
while you leave me vulnerable, again
without a second thought
without a backward glance
with a desire you keep inside
without any idea that you have made me happy
I think about you with your eyes closed
your head in my arms as I brush your hair away from your face
and I see that my dreams deserve me, a passion left to be unwound and
unleashed but never to be felt, only to be held in
on a breath, I am here again
wanting to believe that those dreams are the same

Superman's mind
Nerves of steel
In a human body
Flesh that can feel
No one scared you
Always ready to fight
To prove you're stronger
To show your might
Every time you triumphed
Tougher than the rest
But did you ever think
YOu might not be the best
Now Superman is scarred
Both inside and out
On your skin and on your soul
You lost a bout
Now do you see your mortal
That defeat for you is capable
You're a human too
Even Superman is not unbreakable...

I know it hurts
It hurts me too
Tell me how to stop it
Tell me what to do
I want to help
But you wont let me
I wish I could feel what you feel
See what you see
You keep yourself locked away
You hide from us your grief
I wish I could stop it
I want to bring you relief
Please let go of your anger
Let go of your hate
Allow yourself to be happy
Suffering is not your fate
Set your anguish free
Let yourself be whole
Get rid of your rage
Purify your soul..

Far in the distance
I can see the storm coming
The clouds are rolling across the sky
I can hear the clouds rumbling
I feel my body shake
I want to turn & run
But no matter what i do
I know the storm will come
I want to close my eyes
So i will not see the lightning's flame
I will not see the storm approach
But i will still feel the rain
I can turn around
Put my back to the thunder
I can look at the clear side
But the storm will still take me under
So all i can do is face the storm
Stare straight ahead as the wind comes through
This way it will not take me by surprise
And I will know exactly what to do...
