Shooting Star
Tonight I made a wish on a shooting star.
Not unlike wishes I have made before.
Fingers crossed...
A penny in the well...
Dandelion seeds in the wind...
Candles on my birthday cake...
I make this wish again and again.
Perhaps its time the wishes stopped.
I can't put my faith in stars
or fingers, coins, seeds, or flame.
What can they provide
Other than foolish belief
In those things out of my reach.
Wishes become excuses for inaction.
I choose what is important,
I must accept if it does not choose me.
You either fight ...
Not unlike wishes I have made before.
Fingers crossed...
A penny in the well...
Dandelion seeds in the wind...
Candles on my birthday cake...
I make this wish again and again.
Perhaps its time the wishes stopped.
I can't put my faith in stars
or fingers, coins, seeds, or flame.
What can they provide
Other than foolish belief
In those things out of my reach.
Wishes become excuses for inaction.
I choose what is important,
I must accept if it does not choose me.
You either fight ...

Count your Blessings
The sun is shining in a cloudless sky
And yet, cold wind chills me to the bone.
I try to keep my head up, not to cry.
Alone I sit obsessing
My thoughts consume me
Of love and loss and days gone by.
I often think there is nothing left for me,
That this world is nothing more than tragedy.
Although my life has been good and bad
My pain is ever present.
And the times of happiness I've seen
Seem more like dreams than reality.
Why must I suffer and fight for what I need?
For those I love, I would gadly sacrifice;
Who will do the same...
And yet, cold wind chills me to the bone.
I try to keep my head up, not to cry.
Alone I sit obsessing
My thoughts consume me
Of love and loss and days gone by.
I often think there is nothing left for me,
That this world is nothing more than tragedy.
Although my life has been good and bad
My pain is ever present.
And the times of happiness I've seen
Seem more like dreams than reality.
Why must I suffer and fight for what I need?
For those I love, I would gadly sacrifice;
Who will do the same...

i can't even make you say goodbye
you break my heart
but still you call
you call but say nothing
all i hear is your breath
hating that i wish
i could feel it on my neck
if you do not want me
then let me fucking go
stop the torture
by giving me hope
you still want me
but still you call
you call but say nothing
all i hear is your breath
hating that i wish
i could feel it on my neck
if you do not want me
then let me fucking go
stop the torture
by giving me hope
you still want me

Why not me
Without you, I am lost.
My heart aches for you
My appetite for life gone.
My tears fall like rain
The sky opens up
I fear I will be washed away in the flood.
I find solace in nothing
But the warmth of your embrace.
I long for your lips
To see your face.
You tell me you love me
And yet you walk away.
You expect this perfect person;
I'm afraid she doesn't exist,
Not in me at least.
My heart aches for you
My appetite for life gone.
My tears fall like rain
The sky opens up
I fear I will be washed away in the flood.
I find solace in nothing
But the warmth of your embrace.
I long for your lips
To see your face.
You tell me you love me
And yet you walk away.
You expect this perfect person;
I'm afraid she doesn't exist,
Not in me at least.

Crossroad
Standing at this crossroad
My pulse quickens
My head is spinning
I feel weightless
I reach out for a hand
to guide me
And hope it leads me
where I need to go.
I have traveled on this journey--
Sometimes laughed, sometimes cried.
On this journey I have
felt loved, felt betrayed
felt joy, felt pain
felt blessed, felt cursed
Many times I have felt alone.
My journey has come to many crossroads;
I have chosen my path wisely at times,
As I have also made wrong turns.
I find myself again at a...
