Stitch It Back Together
I know we're both Broken, But we Can Make it Work,
I know you Feel that You Have Zero Worth,
But Darling I'd die For you,
So Stitch Me Back Together,
We'll Make it Through The Darkest Weather,
Fix me,
Stitch me Back together,
Pick up The Broken Pieces,
and I'll do the Same,
Just Don't Leave Me Here,
You Showed me How to face my fears,
Stitch Me Back Together,
Maybe It's Not too Late For us,
We Can Start Over,
We Could Make it Through.
Cause there's No Where Else I'd Rather Be, Is with you
I know we're both Broken, But we Can Make it Work,
I know you Feel that You Have Zero Worth,
But Darling I'd die For you,
So Stitch Me Back Together,
We'll Make it Through The Darkest Weather,
Fix me,
Stitch me Back together,
Pick up The Broken Pieces,
and I'll do the Same,
Just Don't Leave Me Here,
You Showed me How to face my fears,
Stitch Me Back Together,
Maybe It's Not too Late For us,
We Can Start Over,
We Could Make it Through.
Cause there's No Where Else I'd Rather Be, Is with you

||There's a Girl||
There's a girl I can never hate
She fills my life with butterflies
And my dreams with the sunrise
When I met her, I thought it was fate
A burning in my chest she creates
I fall deeper when I look into her eyes
She is my lovely prize
And it kills to know, she's straight
She'll get caught up on boys
And I'll get her through the pain
She'll play into their hands like a toy
And I'll tell her to not be ashamed
But she's someone who gives me joy
There's a girl who lights my heart aflame
||There's a Girl||
There's a girl I can never hate
She fills my life with butterflies
And my dreams with the sunrise
When I met her, I thought it was fate
A burning in my chest she creates
I fall deeper when I look into her eyes
She is my lovely prize
And it kills to know, she's straight
She'll get caught up on boys
And I'll get her through the pain
She'll play into their hands like a toy
And I'll tell her to not be ashamed
But she's someone who gives me joy
There's a girl who lights my heart aflame
Time's Defier
Time mopes and sulks, disconsolate, in his lair -
Try as he might, things just aren’t going his way.
“It shouldn’t be like this, it isn’t fair,”
He grumbles, hour by hour, day by day.
“I run the world, I bend it to my will,
If I say ‘Fall!’ things fall, if ‘Cease!’ they cease.
I freeze the seas, I lengthen winter’s chill,
I set the lengths of wars, the dates of peace.
So why does she defy my mighty power
By staying beautiful, year after year?
Her loveliness continues yet to flower;
I chide her, but she doesn’t seem to hear.”
And who is this who makes Time so irate?
Why, who else could it be? My lovely Kate.[font=Times New Roman]

The Angel of fire and the Gypsy Butterfly;
The slaughtered thoughts of my dreams were scorched by your passionate lies....My thoughts of love only ever lived between your thighs....and those thoughts, those thoughts were always lies.
My once beautiful mind was ravished by your deceptive ways. You belittled, betrayed and hurt me in every way.
You swooped in disguised as an Angel of beauty and turned me into your demon of dishonor and duty.... You burnt a path through my very soul.... every time we made love it was My heart that paid the toll...
As I lay in the shallow grave my addictions dug, I watched you ride away on your chariot of Hells fire. You left in your wake my world burnt.... a world of hate and of rot and of false desire.... all that was left was, a piece of heart touched by you not.
You were my addiction and you left me in a cage, a fiend begging in the gutter helpless and cold.. all that remained was a soul enraged.
then when all seemed lost..... I began to see beautiful butterfly spread her wings and begin to fly....her wings singed , damaged by others lies.... She swooped in and landed on a piece of hope, really all that you let remain....
Her lyrical voice in my symphony of chaos. As she touched me sweetly, instantly I knew all was not lost... She whispered to me "Rise up Jason, rise up Love is here. You MUST pick yourself up and follow me where we are going is near. Jason you must get up, GET UP AT ALL COST! All that I have for you is honest and pure....."
So I fought the good fight and thought that I had lost.... And this butterfly swooped me up and took me to a place you had forgot.... LOVE... Honest, honest love unashamed passionate a flame....
She this butterfly calms me, shows me that love does still remain. She teaches me the lessons of her old soul... Her wings so colorful and bold.
We sailed across a sea of time... two souls making love as one with passion hotter than any sun.
We use the stars as our compass rose... with a love like hers I feel strong enough to stand against any and all foes.
This is not just some poem of prose..... this is a lyric to my butterfly... to my love , my new life and a woman I hope someday maybe, just maybe i'll be good enough a man to make her my wife....... And to a false Angel past who said our love will never die and always last ....
Though I should have known.. cause her laughs were always a lie..... And I thank GOD my butterfly can see beyond my past.

Running Away
It does no good to think not of you,
believing mere longevity will ease my pain;
my belief once in a love so loyal and true,
oh, to think you were mine was to be so vain.
I thought you could save what was left in me,
abolish this loneliness that flutters inside;
that love could birth something sacred and holy,
not inconstant like your heart’s changing tides.
But everything reminds me of your face and hands,
your kisses sweet as my nights grow long.
Now I peer through the fog of these desolate lands,
wondering why benign passion proved so wrong.
From memories of you I eternally run
past the mockingbirds’ sad songs they’ve sung.

Love Clouds
Rhythmic the way your hair flows through the clouds,
the way the paragraphs love the plain white sheet.
As I wonder how you and I were ever apart as vows,
now step by step the world is under siege. Within reach.
We embarked on the journey with minimum expectations,
the theme of hope draped around our once lost souls,
now we wait for the day the world gets our invitation
to witness two lovers walk down the isle of the unknown.
Contrary to belief, we declare everlasting happiness,
vanity in the face of a so called run to reality,
or what some might call "the eventual sap"
The world's brutality cannot stop our new found gravity.
Live for your love. My love, you know I feel blessed,
basic instructions before living life filled with loneliness,
I'm that invested in love, I'm here to express
my coziness in amor, I found your strands in the holiness.

Broken Heart Fault
Oh baby whose fault it is that you have a broken heart?
What happened to the bliss we were on from the start?
Don't mind my questions, I'm just here to comprehend,
blinking at lightning, I'm short of a grip on reality. We're
no longer one, we never become everything we hoped to be.
Together till the end! The end was never a topic,
now our family ask questions I'm not prepared to answer.
Let me define my side as a standard excuse for your excuses,
no strings down my back, you draw nothing but conclusions.
We're only human we make mistakes, no need to prove me wrong,
in case you're wondering I love you more than my cubicle,
I'll do anything to feel your touch sooth my gigantic ego.
integrated since the day I first met those red plush lips,
wired to ride waves next to deception but I love your ways,
on the floor praying to the door. Please open my heart once more.
Building confidence to ask the question once more,
be mine, and I'll let space be yours. Growing impatient,
even the thought puts me in a place of non rest.
I'll wait for an eternity before from my mind your smile exits.
