What Is Love
What is love but cruel?
What is love but blind?
How are we to know what love really is at the end of time?
Live beside someone for years
Watch a family grow
Together time passes
Until a year becomes a decade and even longer still.
Age is no hindrance
Time is no factor.
For those we love are all that seem to matter
We push ourselves to the limits
Change ourselves for better or worse
Just to keep something that some would call a curse.
An empty heart is a lonely soul
And a lonely soul is an empty heart
For what is life without someone...
What is love but blind?
How are we to know what love really is at the end of time?
Live beside someone for years
Watch a family grow
Together time passes
Until a year becomes a decade and even longer still.
Age is no hindrance
Time is no factor.
For those we love are all that seem to matter
We push ourselves to the limits
Change ourselves for better or worse
Just to keep something that some would call a curse.
An empty heart is a lonely soul
And a lonely soul is an empty heart
For what is life without someone...

Love Is
Is love having a friend that loves you for who you are?
Does love happen when you miss that person at even the thought that they might leave your side?
Do you truly love someone when you look into their eyes and see your universe?
Do you wish to look into those eyes that shine the most beautiful hue and be lost in them for ever?
All of these and more are what it feels like to love some one with all you are and can be.
Hold onto them.
Like a few drops of rain on a hot summer day.
Like the stars in the sky on a moonless night.
Like the warmth of your...

A Fighters Eulagy
Thunder rolls over the hill
As my fist meets this bag
In time with the lightning
Fast and true s the leather burns my knuckles
The rain falls as my body works
In harmony with the rhythm of nature.
A spin and my heel meets leather
Each strike is an outlet and I feel better.
A straight, a jab, or a hook
Each time I don't even have to look.
The bag is my enemy and I aim to kill
For there is a bottomless pit of anger
Only its blood can fill
Sweat falls down my body
And my breath comes in gasps
And I keep hitting until...
As my fist meets this bag
In time with the lightning
Fast and true s the leather burns my knuckles
The rain falls as my body works
In harmony with the rhythm of nature.
A spin and my heel meets leather
Each strike is an outlet and I feel better.
A straight, a jab, or a hook
Each time I don't even have to look.
The bag is my enemy and I aim to kill
For there is a bottomless pit of anger
Only its blood can fill
Sweat falls down my body
And my breath comes in gasps
And I keep hitting until...

Stay
From the beginning there was a connection.
A stubborn boy facing and impossible girl.
I threw my lot in and prayed for you to show me something.
You pulled me along and dared me to take that last step over the edge.
Round and around and around I went
Tell me why tell me why tell me why did it have to end.
Wasn’t really sure what to feel about you.
Something in the way you moved.
Made me feel like I couldn’t live without you.
You took me to a new height in my life.
I wish you had stayed.
Its not much of a life I am living.
It’s not...
A stubborn boy facing and impossible girl.

A Song In Her Smile
I’ll write you a love story Shakespeare would envy
A love song that shall touch the heart of many
The smile on my face is clear as the sky
No one really knows you're the reason why
I’ll paint you a canvas DaVinci would praise
A landscape, a still frame, none could compare to the smile on your face.
An expression I cannot convey
Even with words from the heart
Years and experience keep us apart
When everything I have pushes us away
I hug you once and wish you could stay
I’ll create a flower and name...
A love song that shall touch the heart of many
The smile on my face is clear as the sky
No one really knows you're the reason why
I’ll paint you a canvas DaVinci would praise
A landscape, a still frame, none could compare to the smile on your face.
An expression I cannot convey
Even with words from the heart
Years and experience keep us apart
When everything I have pushes us away
I hug you once and wish you could stay
I’ll create a flower and name...

The Sound Of Rain
A pitter patter on the side walk
A soft drop on your hand
The rain is coming and we all understand
Thunder rolls through the hills
Lightning strikes the ground
the rain comes down in waves
We all want to lay down.
A soothing tap on the roof of a home.
The fresh smell in the air
Makes you want to take a nap
And dream without a care.
Dancing in the rain
Making of it what you can
Walking through the puddles holding another's hand.
In a flash it will come
And in a flash it can go
But it can leave you with a sense of...
A soft drop on your hand
The rain is coming and we all understand
Thunder rolls through the hills
Lightning strikes the ground
the rain comes down in waves
We all want to lay down.
A soothing tap on the roof of a home.
The fresh smell in the air
Makes you want to take a nap
And dream without a care.
Dancing in the rain

Walking through the puddles holding another's hand.

Apologize
In the quotations is me writing things that fit in the lines of this song for me.
Apologize
[Verse 1]
I’m holdin’ on your rope,..
"I held on as long as I could but nothing seemed to work."
Got me ten feet off the ground.
"You had me so in love I felt like not even the clouds could touch me"
And I’m hearin’ what you say,
"I hear you when you say that you are here for me as a friend"
But I just can’t make a sound.
"But I just can’t get through to you that I can’t be just...

The Color Of Roses
A black rose in the midst of darkness.
A white rose in the presence of light.
A red rose in a pool of blood.
Every rose has petals.
Every rose has thorns.
And like everything else the rose withers and dies.
Nothing can stop it.
Many things can prolong it
But nothing can prevent it
A black rose to represent the darkness that lingers in people’s hearts
A white rose to show the light of hope in that suffocating darkness
And a red rose to bind them both together in the name of love.
Nothing...
A white rose in the presence of light.
A red rose in a pool of blood.
Every rose has petals.
Every rose has thorns.
And like everything else the rose withers and dies.
Nothing can stop it.
Many things can prolong it
But nothing can prevent it
A black rose to represent the darkness that lingers in people’s hearts
A white rose to show the light of hope in that suffocating darkness
And a red rose to bind them both together in the name of love.

Where I Reside
The dead of night surrounds me in a blanket of comfort
The stars shine down upon me with a halo of blessings
Yet inside of me I cannot tell who I am anymore.
I have loved unconditionally.
It was a fleeting feeling strong as a mountain
Yet fragile as a leaf
I lost something and someone more precious to me than any rare gem could ever be.
Words, no matter how extravagant can express just what she mean to me.
My heart beat for them.
My mind was never off of them.
The sun rose for me to see them
And set so the next day could come where I could...

Warmth For the Lifeless Soul
A lifeless soul lays quiet and untouched in her body that was once full of happiness and life, but now all that exists is guilt, pain, and the nightmares.
Days go by and all she can do as her soul slips into darkness is lay in a bed silent and unmoving.
One night as she lay in bed with the last of her warmth slowly fading away she feels a warm touch on her chest right above her heart.
She wakes wondering what this oddly familiar feeling is. She slowly opens her eyes and what she sees is a soul, like hers, with a broken heart. A life cursed by the world and those...

The Bonds We Share
How long are we going to do this? How long can we take not being around one another? The pain and anger is drawn over our shoulders like a warm coat in the middle of a winter storm. Waking from this life as if it were a dream only to realize my nightmares are better than the reality that we are all forced to live in. The realization that no matter how things go within our family our lives will never be more complete than they were those years ago.
Seeing my brother being played with like a yo-yo. His heart strings being plucked like the soft strums of a harps cords....
