One

Inside you
We move as one
Faster
Louder
Throwing caution to the wind
Temperatures rising
Passion overwhelming
Eyes wide open
We anticipate
The world dissipates
You are me

All the things

Summer days, auburn eyes, and rain drops.
Faith, love, and hopefulness.
Late phone calls, monochrome messages, and secret letters.
Short conversations, awkward silences, and glimpses from afar.
Star gazers, ice cream cones, and big blue bags.
Fruity towers, beauty pageants, and three door basements.
Five more minutes, late trips, and TV shows.
Old schools, big halls, and library steps.
IQ tests, bridge games, and psychic moments.
Jogging pants, tied jackets, and white shirts.
A canopy of stars, the endless horizon, and crashing waves.
Acceptance, trust, and faith.
You, my Dreams, and All these things.

Arrogance

Hopelessness and pain
The more I try to explain
The more you can't see

As you are

They say you're hopeless
But I see you perfectly
You're the end of me

Bittersweet

It's bittersweet. It's always been bittersweet. It may not have a happy ending but in a strange way it makes me happy. It makes me smile knowing that I care about someone this much. I'm happy cause I know she's a good person. I'm happy because she smiles, because of her dreams, because of her compassion and kindness.

Why her?

Why does the moon look so good on some nights
Why do sunrises and sunsets take your breath away
Why do crashing waves seem to hypnotize
Why is rain so calming
Why do children hold such sweet innocence
Why do I bother holding on
Why not
What is life without the pursuit of a dream

Consumed

Those eyes,
They pierce right through me
What words haven't been said?
Silence, sighs, and closed eyes
They pierce right through me
Consumed once more

In sight

I didn't want to turn around,
Didn't want to see her again
I turned slowly
And she was there

My heart cried
I trembled inside
Crushed
Confused
Commited
A bittersweet smile
And tired eyes

I was caught in between
Between heaven and earth
Holding back the floodgates

I never really forgot
and I never really let go

You brought the music back

Straitjacket

They don't want me to remember
They want me to forget
They want me to rest tonight

Looking through those burning eyes,
I was mesmerized
I was cursed

They're taking me away
Making me forget
Taking me away

They don't want me to remember
Don't want me to remember
Taking me away, tonight

I am tired
I fall
Without sight

Like the way it used to be

Walking on the same ground
Surrounded by different walls
In familiar situations
With a different crowd

Surrounded by similar faces
Of different people
Asking the same questions
In another place and time

A familiar name
A different face
The same person
The same reasons
