Her New Year's Resolution
As the clock struck midnight
To signal the new year
She made a promise to herself
To relinquish each and every fear
Every disappointment she endured
Every heartache she faced
All the memories that brought her sorrow
She swears will be erased
For she cannot move into the future
While anchored to the past
She's decided to let go of the things
That were never meant to last
She said good-bye to the men
Who only broke her heart
Who left her in tears
And tore her world apart
She refused to let...
To signal the new year
She made a promise to herself
To relinquish each and every fear
Every disappointment she endured

All the memories that brought her sorrow
She swears will be erased
For she cannot move into the future
While anchored to the past
She's decided to let go of the things
That were never meant to last
She said good-bye to the men
Who only broke her heart
Who left her in tears
And tore her world apart
She refused to let...

Amanda
Amidst the chaos of the world
She struggles to find her way
Trying to find some happiness
While her hopes are washed away
Many who have looked upon her
Have had no way of knowing
That smile she forces on her face
Is to keep her true pain from showing
As she pretends all’s well
Her heart is silently breaking
And everyone is oblivious
The toll her body is taking
Nothing is as it seems anymore
She feels like she never mattered
All her ambition has been...
She struggles to find her way
Trying to find some happiness
While her hopes are washed away
Many who have looked upon her
Have had no way of knowing
That smile she forces on her face
Is to keep her true pain from showing
As she pretends all’s well
Her heart is silently breaking
And everyone is oblivious
The toll her body is taking
Nothing is as it seems anymore
She feels like she never mattered
All her ambition has been...

A Christmas Prayer
Come together now, all family and friends
Enemies to peace, bring your strife to an end
Put aside all differences and lay down your arms
Take no further action that damages or harms
Look beyond what your eyes see for appearances can often deceive
Search deep within your soul for what you should truly believe
Within tears that have been cried, is proof of a tender heart
They tell the stories of sorrow in a world falling apart
Let this be a season of love and understanding
Let us find our freedom from a world so demanding ...
Enemies to peace, bring your strife to an end
Put aside all differences and lay down your arms
Take no further action that damages or harms
Look beyond what your eyes see for appearances can often deceive
Search deep within your soul for what you should truly believe
Within tears that have been cried, is proof of a tender heart
They tell the stories of sorrow in a world falling apart

Emily
Even in the midst
Of humility and shame
She refuses to allow life
To continue the same
Many mistakes have been made
This, she cannot deny
But her regret was evident
Each time she would cry
In her darkest hour
She has seen the light
Through the shadow of doubt
Which once robbed her of sight
Looking now through sober eyes
Seeing what’s fallen apart
She swears to redeem herself
For those she holds close to heart
Yearning to make amends
Her past, she will rise above
To prove she’s...
Of humility and shame
She refuses to allow life
To continue the same
Many mistakes have been made
This, she cannot deny
But her regret was evident
Each time she would cry
In her darkest hour
She has seen the light
Through the shadow of doubt
Which once robbed her of sight
Looking now through sober eyes
Seeing what’s fallen apart
She swears to redeem herself
For those she holds close to heart
Yearning to make amends
Her past, she will rise above
To prove she’s...

Leslie
Life is full of pleasure
And pain as well
Sometimes you're in Heaven
Sometimes you're in hell
Everybody at some point
Gets hurt or deceived
Making us feel foolish
For what we believed
Some call it being weak
Maybe it makes you strong
To be able to endure
So much for so long
Look in the mirror
The beauty you see outside
Is the reflection
Of your beauty inside
In times when you feel
Your desires won't come true
Remember there's somebody...
And pain as well
Sometimes you're in Heaven
Sometimes you're in hell
Everybody at some point
Gets hurt or deceived
Making us feel foolish
For what we believed
Some call it being weak
Maybe it makes you strong
To be able to endure
So much for so long
Look in the mirror
The beauty you see outside
Is the reflection
Of your beauty inside
In times when you feel
Your desires won't come true
Remember there's somebody...

She
She's your girlfriend
Your fiancé, your wife
She's the best part of you
The meaning in your life
She's the reason you wake up
To a new days light
And the one you lay next to
Each and every night
She's your biggest fan
The one who holds your heart
She's the one who remains
When your world falls apart
She's the source of your strength
The source of your power
She's the light
In your darkest hour
She's the one you defend
The one you fight for
She's the one you cherish
And truly...
Your fiancé, your wife
She's the best part of you
The meaning in your life
She's the reason you wake up

And the one you lay next to

The one who holds your heart
She's the one who remains
When your world falls apart
She's the source of your strength
The source of your power

The one you fight for
She's the one you cherish

Kasey
Keeping faith in a world
That can be so unkind
She does it with a strong
Spirit and mind
A heart of gold
She harbors within
Despite the hardships
And places she's been
She's a friend, a daughter
A sister and a mother
A person this world
Could replace with no other
Enduring and still loving
Though she may weep
Shows her beauty
Isn't just skin deep
Years will come and go
Yet she'll always remain to be
A woman of compassion ...

Feather
- "What am I?" he asked her. "Am I a demon, some kind of monster? For surly I was greeted by Death himself. I swear I saw his jagged grin and heard his maniacal laughter. I felt his cold, skeletal hand reach into my chest and crush my still-beating heart. Yet, here I stand, as if a dead man amongst the living.
- She placed a kiss on his forehead and spoke in a soft voice. "It is by divine intervention that you were delivered from the clutches of the grim reaper. It is not yet your time. That is dictated by our Heavenly Father. A demon you are not for you have seen the error of...

Drained
My words were not heard
Nor were they read
But people will ask
For the reason I bled
From out of my wrist
A crimson liquid flows
And at my feet
A red puddle grows
I begged and pleaded
Nobody listened to me
So I suffered in silence
Suffered in misery
My so called friends
Have moved on in life
Leaving me behind
With a razor sharp knife
But maybe to them
I was just dead weight
Or maybe I was someone
They just grew to hate
I've lost so much ...
Nor were they read
But people will ask
For the reason I bled
From out of my wrist
A crimson liquid flows
And at my feet
A red puddle grows
I begged and pleaded
Nobody listened to me
So I suffered in silence
Suffered in misery
My so called friends
Have moved on in life
Leaving me behind
With a razor sharp knife
But maybe to them
I was just dead weight
Or maybe I was someone
They just grew to hate
I've lost so much ...

Undeserving
I watch the rising sun
Set the horizon on fire
From the darkness of night,
In the absence of my heart's desire
She didn't leave me
I pushed her away
An unintentional mistake
I regret day after day
She drove out of sight
With a broken heart
Off into a world
Seeming to fall apart
It's been so long ago
Since I've seen her last
Still, at the thought of her
My heart beats ever so fast
I know she was my loss
And now somebody's gain
Where I once knew happiness
I now only know pain ...
Set the horizon on fire
From the darkness of night,
In the absence of my heart's desire
She didn't leave me
I pushed her away
An unintentional mistake
I regret day after day
She drove out of sight
With a broken heart
Off into a world
Seeming to fall apart
It's been so long ago
Since I've seen her last
Still, at the thought of her
My heart beats ever so fast
I know she was my loss
And now somebody's gain
Where I once knew happiness
I now only know pain ...

Angel of the Night
She calls to me in my dreams
Lures me outside at night
Hiding amongst the shadows
Keeping out of sight
The howling winds carry
Her whispers through the air
I hear her words
I know she's out there
The dark enchantress beckons
Through the branches of the trees
I feel myself being pulled in
By the evening's breeze
But why won't she show herself
What does she have to hide
She doesn't come to me
She summons me outside
There must be some reason
Why she comes to my place ...
Lures me outside at night
Hiding amongst the shadows
Keeping out of sight
The howling winds carry
Her whispers through the air
I hear her words
I know she's out there
The dark enchantress beckons
Through the branches of the trees
I feel myself being pulled in
By the evening's breeze
But why won't she show herself
What does she have to hide
She doesn't come to me
She summons me outside
There must be some reason
Why she comes to my place ...

Anti-Love
From emotional cuts
My heart bleeds
There's nobody to give it
What it really needs
The damage is too great
It will never heal
All it ever needed
Was something real
I needed love, patience
And understanding
Were these requests
Really that demanding
They must have been
For what I've gone through
The moments I've felt love
There were very few
Maybe I'm meant
To be on my own
To live this life
Isolated and alone
Maybe this is how
It's meant to...
