Tunnel
Our last year was like riding a train
when we got on the train the sun was shining
the journey began with smiles and excitment
to see where this journey would go
but the tunnel was looming ahead
at first it was just sort of dark
you could still see the light at the beginning
then it got darker
just when you knew you were close to the light at the end
it got the darkest
when the light was finally in view
I thought things would be bright and sunny again
but when I finally made it out
I was sitting alone on the train

Stumbled
I stumbled in our relationship
but I got up stronger
with new passion and vigor
ready to take on the world with you
but you let me down
you just want to move on
this time I'm going to let you
I don't need the heartache anymore
I've cried too many tears for you
I hope you'll be happier without me
for your happiness was all I ever wanted
I will be happy again
your words still ring in my ears
"life is too short to be unhappy"
goodbye sweetface
I love you
even though you no longer love me

Fool
I was a fool, this I know
to walk away, still loving you
I should have faught that day
the day you said goodbye
faught with everything I had inside
but I just drove away like a poor sad soul
with tears streaming down my face
now I'm left with only memories
sweet memories of my best friend
my lover, my soulmate, my life
what is to become of us, is there still hope
I will wait, hoping you'll reach out
maybe a birthday or other occasion
but how long can I live this life
one day soon I'll reach out to you

Who what where when why
Do you remember when we were in love
when we wanted nothing more than to be together
when little things didn't matter
when its was all smiles and kissing
what happened to all that
where did it go
who have we become
when did you decide to stop loving me
why did you break my heart
why do you refuse to talk
when we wanted nothing more than to be together
when little things didn't matter
when its was all smiles and kissing
what happened to all that
where did it go
who have we become
when did you decide to stop loving me
why did you break my heart
why do you refuse to talk

The dream
I had a dream tonight,
I never remember my dreams
you were in it
at first it was ok
things were messed up like they were before
then I actually saw you in my dream
and you spoke to me
you touched me
and then you kissed me
then I immediately woke up
I'm still broken
I wanted to punch the wall
its almost like the day you said goodbye all over again
it hurts so bad to have you haunting my dreams
knowing you're just across town
a phone call away
but you still don't want me
I never remember my dreams
you were in it
at first it was ok
things were messed up like they were before
then I actually saw you in my dream
and you spoke to me
you touched me
and then you kissed me
then I immediately woke up
I'm still broken
I wanted to punch the wall
its almost like the day you said goodbye all over again
it hurts so bad to have you haunting my dreams
knowing you're just across town
a phone call away
but you still don't want me

Space
You wanted space
I will give it to you
its only been a few weeks
but my heart is growing numb
your words, cold and callous
I'm using this as motivation to make changes in my life
I wish you were here to see my transformation
I don't know if you will ever see the new me
for every day without you makes me hurt a little less
the ticking of the clock is deafening
every second we're drifting ever so slowly apart
I still love you
but you gave up on me
should I give up on the thought of us and you?
only time will tell

Wrong
I wish I could change your mind
After two years to decided to call it quits
It kills me that you won't even listen to me
I gave you everything I could give
Apprently it was never enough
You changed everything recently including who you called yours
I am left alone dying inside
Though one day I wil escape your memory
I will rise and begin anew
I will be happy with someone else
I will prosper in the love of another
I thought you were the one
I still think you are
I must have been wrong
It seems like I have been...

If I could
If I could look at the world through your eyes I would see things in a different light
but I would probably just get stuck at the mirror because you had the most beautiful eyes
if I could feel with your heart I could make you love me again.
but the pain that goes with it would make me cry
if I could get into your soul I would plant a seed to make you remember me
though you would pull the roots like a weed to forget
If I could get into your mind I would learn who you are
but I would probably go crazy and lose myself and never get out.

What's his name?
We stopped talking again
There seems to always been a common thread
You've probably found someone more interesting
Someone you think you actually want
I would give anything to just not care anymore
To just say goodbye and never speak again
I don’t even know why I waste my time
Did you even ever really like me
Or was I just the one you could count on to brighten your day
I was the guy who wanted nothing more than see you smile
Turns out I’m just the guy that is used and thrown away ...

Ghost of a memory
You’re like a ghost of a memory
no longer solid in form
just a distant wispy fog
that rests at the bottom of my heart and soul
If you’d have asked I would have said yes
no matter the question
I wanted nothing more than for you to be in my life
just wanting to see you, feel your soft gentle touch
smell your perfume, and taste your kiss again
At times you would say things that would catch me off guard
you only ever felt when you were drinking
my mind would race until I asked about it...

End of my rope
Sitting in the dark
I’m at the end of my rope
my matchbook has all but burned out
I don’t know how long I can hold on
but I’m sure the fall will kill me
its only a matter of time before my grip gives way
and I fall into the abyss below
will I fall for eternity
or will I meet the ground
I’m hallucinating I see demons all around
ghosts of drunken mistakes
as I ponder the past
my last match goes out
my hands go numb
I let go.

Chaos
You and me
A state of chaos spinning
Precariously balanced
A matter of time before it tips over
Crashing into our hearts
Tearing into our soul
We had our moments
Kisses after wonderful evenings
But they are past
Now the future looks bleak
It's complicated
You're scared and won't try
I have my reasons why I cant
We have too much history
To many things to deal with
You made a good point, how can you trust me
Maybe you can't, we'll probably never know
Is tonight the end of the beginning?
Or the bringing of the end?
