Out

When you look through broken glass

Everything appears shattered

And your world is broken

Too many pieces to even count,

Let alone put it all back together.

Sometimes it's easier to let everything remain tattered and cry about it

It's not as if you can fix life

But when you take the easy way out,

Out is where you stay. 

How am I supposed to love you

When I have this much anger toward you?

How am I supposed to smile when I look at you

When all you do is disgust me?

How am I supposed to dream about you

When you hurt me so badly?


How am I supposed to love you--


When I hate you? 

It Hurts To Say Goodbye

Your smiles are my smiles
Your tears are my tears
Your broken heart is my broken soul
And it hurts to say goodbye

I need you in my life
But lately you're so far
We keep each other centered
And it hurts to say goodbye

For a fleeting moment you came back
You opened up the door
But then you fled, oh you fled
And it hurts to say goodbye

I don't know what to tell you
I can't respond to your cries
And when we rarely say hello
It hurts to say goodbye.

Painting

You keep me awake at night

My love

And you're not even here

My thoughts are invaded

By pictures

Memories 

Fantasies

Of you

In my head I create a picture

But it'll never be complete until you help me paint it 

I'm not going anywhere

Of all your problems you have had

And all that are to come

When everything goes wrong

When there seems to be no one close to you

Just know that time is only time

Distances are only distances

But love isn't only love


It's a good kind of control

You know I'm here, right?

Because no matter where I go

I'm not going anywhere.  

Be my angel

Tell me what I want to hear
Not what needs to said
Share with me your confidence
For I, I lack thereof
Be with me when I need you here
And I will always come running to you
It's so easy to let things slip through the cracks
Unless you're here
Be my angel
Stand in the caressing darkness
That I find so comforting
