Dear Best Friend

 
Dear Best Friend, I love the way your eyes  
Created those soft pink skies you painted,  
And how they glowed when you sang lullabies,  
And when those eyes met mine I near fainted  

Dear Best Friend, I wish I could be him.  
I wish I could help heal your wounded past  
And hold you tight and kiss your lips, not him,  
And if I could I’d make those moments last.  
 
Dear Best Friend, I’ve seen you cry before,  
And as I wipe away the tears I made,  
I hate the fact I need something much more,  
But to ignore these thoughts would be insane.  
 
Dear Best Friend, I am in love with you,  
And I simply wish you could love me too.

morning groove

 
Washing lonely sigils from our sky drop
Toss around our moon's conjecture
Baby love is my sweet lollipop
My heart aches to cry never
She makes our wind stop
So starshines our room
Into outer space walk
Ground has no clue
It takes a safe walk
As blue shadow
A new hallow
When she
Knew
The
Deep
To find our time shallow...

Missing

Missing-
Slow, Country feel



Been searching for you---So long I've lost track
Been Searching my tears---Lord, take this load from my back
But you're missing---Still missing my tracks
And my mission---Is to find my way back (to you)

I remember your smile---Through the haze of life's past
I remember life's trials---Still you held me so fast
And I miss you---I never knew what I had
And I kiss you---In the dreams I still have

Chorus:   I never knew what went wrong
But I carry your song---Right in my heart

Feels like millions of years---And billions of miles
Since I last felt your love---My prision's denial
And I'm missing---This life and your love
And my mission---Somehow rise above

Your memory has ways---Of piercing my thoughts
And I carry that weight---My burden and cross
And I'm missing---These things we once shared
And I'm kissing---A ghost in thin air

Chorus:  I never knew what went wrong
I still carry your song---Right in my heart

-Instrumental-

Now, this here old song---It's breaking my heart
'Cause it's all that I have---Loving thru thoughts
And I'm missing---One chance in one life
And my mission---To make you my wife

So, I'll keep searching high---While feeling so low
Thru the fires of Hell---That tortures my soul
While I'm missing---This life and your love
And my mission---To smile thru lost love...
And my mission---To smile for my love...
And while missing---I'll cry your lost love.

Unreturned

I was in love with the idea of falling in love, 
It eluded me so many times in so many ways, 
And though I chased it I didn’t test the waters, 
When I threw myself completely with a craze. 

But I failed, filled with a feeling still reeling, 
A passion sure to make anyone delighted, 
Young with so much to live, so much to give, 
Yet the emotion went quiet and unrequited. 

So there I went, off into the dark unknown, 
My heart forlorn with so much to share, 
Burned when my love went unreturned, 
My heart alone in dejection and despair.

Someone Who Will Give You Requited Love

Why do you want to hold onto him?
He is only going to give you thorns
And deserts. He is only going to skim
Your surface and pages, but warns
You that he is not going to dive deep
Within your depths. He does not want
To know you or know what will keep
You up at night. It is going to haunt
And hurt you when he loves someone
Else entirely more. It is going to leave
Scars all over your skin when the sun
Is shining brighter for their sleeve-
Less kind of love and affection. Let
Him go because someone will be out
There who wants to know you wet,
Dry and leads you beyond the drought.

Girl Next Door

 
You break my heart each day  
Tenderness drawing me in  
Willing me to offer my soul  
To ignite and crumble to ash  
For we can never be  
 
Then yet again your gaze  
Calls forth my phoenix heart  
Filled with hope and fantasy  
It flares then fades to black  
For we can never be  
 
I cannot let it go  
The healing you provide  
Addicted to your wisdom  
Though it crushes me inside  
For we can never be  
 
Your irresistible kindness  
Mends me as it tears apart  
I pour my pieces at your feet  
Knowing you won’t pick them up  
For we can never be  
 
Yet I choose this breaking heart  
This dying rising unity  
Better broken in your presence  
Than whole without your light  
 
You break my heart each day  
For we can never be
