Well.... I've Never.....
Well... In all My Years.......
I've never felt more safe as when I have my head on your chest and
you are holding me close
Your heart beating in my ears, your kiss on my lips, your taste in
My mouth and your musky scent filling my nose.
I've never yearned for laughs so much as I do now, after seeing you
Act out and play the part of a fool
You said to make me smile, because when I do it makes my entire
Face shine like a jewel
I've never felt so wanted and, like I belong, as I do when you absently
reach out and just to hold my...

In Through Down Elevator
Falling to pieces that are too many to even fathom their count
Standing. ith my heart exposed to endure ache and break in vast amounts
Walking away from one broken heart directly following yet another
Running into the brick wall that Im told is love, by the one, then the other
Sitting in a pit of fire that freezes the melting slushy feeling of stasis
Laying on the hard softness that both, push and pull then flees as it chases
Finding big pieces of a small whole-- engulfing the iciness that is my chest
Losing parts of me in a battle none can win- unfinding the...

Cheater, Cheater, Cut off your Peter....
My eyes are squeezed tight, so I can hopefully
keep the image out of my head
Too late; I've already seen the video that rips
me to pieces instead
My ears are covered as to mute the sounds that
you make.. that aren't made for me
Already they are playing loud and long in my head
and will never leave me be
My lips are clamped down to muffle the utter
devastation that would give voice to the pain
My head is full of chaos searching.....finding..no
escape...screaming the heartbreak in refrain
My hands are wrenched together as if I were...

Deep Within Me
I lay here in utter, complete, darkness~
My heart beating it's own hopelessness
Wondering if my heart will truly be free~
Wondering what it is you want from me
This painful aching that I feel deep within~
Telling me that our love is not committing a sin
When, in Heaven, will you ever see~
That my heart is true and always will be.
Fear is pressing in harder on my soul~
Blinding everything I think I know
My only hope is that you will finally see~
All the love and hope for us, I have, Deep within me
The darkness closing its talons all around~...

Invisible Mail
The strangest thing happened to me today;
an invisible mailman passed my way.
He gave me something that wasn't quite there;
to receive invisible mail is really quite rare.
So I opened up this nothing real, real wide;
only to find more of nothing inside.
The penmanship was so neat and so clean;
in fact, it couldn't even be seen.
The scent lingered lightly as I recall;
actually there was something I couldn't smell at all.
So, I'm writing you back- with love you can bet;
thanks for the letter I never did get
Maybe in...

Out the Doubt
Uncertainty of the future can paralyze you in
the present
All of that time wasted in fear is time that
is ill spent
Always second guessing your ability leaves you
forever in doubt
Searching for a way to escape the bondage, but
never finding the way out
Not having the courage to reach out and make
yourself known
Leaves you so lonely that the only voice you
hear is your own
The silence can be so deafening that the echo
resounds in your mind
The solitude is so glaring that the darkness of
being alone can leave you blind...

Dark Dawn
The day will inevitably come
when my strength will finally wane
I won't be able to hold the necessary numb
and feeling this will drive me insane
As of now I stride through each day
ignoring the hurt so I can pretend I'm alive
Not knowing what to think or do or say
will be one reason I don't care if I survive
Waiting for the Dark to take Dawn to control
then I won't have to make the final decision
Climbing, crawling down into the deep hole
lacking light, I, gladly, have no vision
I won't see the blade as it strikes
and it opens ,wide, my...

The Town Crier
Let me tell you a little about a small One Heart town, I know
It was a great place to live,but that was another heart ago
There was a glee in thoughts that was obvious in voice
You couldn't help but be submersed in it... there was no choice
All nights were peaceful as two hearts fit together as one
Discontent never came around.. He knew if he did he was done
Now we only hear sad tears saying "I miss you"
The only lips we see are frowning begging to kiss you
The most fulfilled ones had sweetness coming out of their ears
Now all the sweet is...

Walls of Anguish
Sitting here- all too alone in this cell
Realizing I put myself here- trapped in hell
I thought I was smart...that I knew it all
Now I see different and must stay inside these walls
Someone thought it worth it to save my life
To let me learn something about heartache and strife
Now, I'm stuck in here--steel doors, concrete walls
barbed wire
To keep my sanity in here I must not let myself get
caught by the fire
Not quite alone, as there are always too many
people in your face
Until you actually want to call on one of them, then
you've...
