Gems

Always almost there
Hope slowly suffocates
Without shape or form, a muse not of this plain
A blur, the corner of my eye
A ghost in my mind
Still better than the truth of not being

People keep praying to their gods
Sitting beyond reach
Helpless and content but uncontent
Not looking for the holy
Just the awe in being
Of this lost soul

There

Tonight I spoke of you in the dark
In the midst of roads & lights
Everything unsaid was said
Expelled from the heart
To an empty seat
And a lowly drive

Landslide

Wisdom in silence
Finding answers in the dark
Beautiful breakdown

Always

I can't get myself to stop thinking
Can't get myself to stay away 
From dreaming to morning 
To the last thought of the day


Your voice is imprinted in memory 
Your smile augments my sight
Your footsteps round every corner 
You're my last prayer at night


Spent all those years in darkness
But now you shine like the sun 
Where there used to be so many
Now there is only one


How could such a darling 
Turn into my most ardent wish
Let me keep you here forever 
And hold you in eternal bliss


Hoping for a new forever
A whole new world to see
And all I'm asking for
Is for you to choose me

Under the lazy moon

Searching & seeking, trying to find the one
An endless carousel of one-time loves
A face without a heart, a heart without a soul
Perfect on paper, but no magic to behold

And through the different people
There was a constant point of view
Why couldn't they all have been a little more like you
And then I realized and that's where it begun
It could be, it had happened, you just might be the one

But there is a complication, a little twist of fate
You've already made a promise
That you don't intend to break
Again my heart has fallen in too late
But I can't make this another one of those mistakes

I can't let you make a wrong decision
If we're supposed to be together, that'll be my mission
Cause love isn't something that's easy to find
You've captivated my heart and taken over my mind

Let me go down in flames if I need to
I know my back's against the wall
But I know that I'm the one who'll complete you
My heart is sure I have no doubts at all

Perhaps one day I'll look back amused
On fate's complicated ruse
Hopefully you'd be beside me then
Wife, lover, best friend

For now I write you letters in the dark
I plan out the ways to win your heart
I miss you in the moments you ignore me
But I know that this decision isn't easy

So to the void I cry out to be heard
Let me be with the love that I deserve
A lifetime is a bad thing to waste
So let's start now and pick up the pace

Kate

The sun, sand, and sea
Bask and let the beauty be
She, a summer's day

Stood up

You say yes
And I'm flying like a jet
I've had my eyes on you
From the moment that we met

We've got a go
And everybody knows
It's gonna be a show
Like you've never seen before

I see that smile
Haven't seen it in a while
Reacting's not my style
But this case it's not on file

A blank screen
You're nowhere to be seen
You're pulling of a hoax
Like all I am's a joke

I stay away
I don't like the way you play
Your game's put me to shame
Or my game's just not the same

But there you go
And there you go again
And I just can't resist
Cause we're more than just good friends

I let you in
Like I haven't learned my lesson
My heart's flying like a kite
And my brain's left out all cussin

I just do
And I don't really know
Why I just can't let you go
You'd think I'd seen it all before

I hate your smile
I hate the way you speak
I hate you every second
And every day of every week

But you already know
You know you've got this
You know you've got me
You are my weakness
