Let Me

Remember I love you
Because that won't change
No matter how many times
We're left out in the rain

I have to believe
It can't be like this forever
Because we're too strong,too focused
too clever

But all I want
Is a moment beside you
Where pictures and papers and
fears won't hide you

I can't take
all this being alone
Even in this room full of people
No one's home

You are my heartbeat
and I can't stop it
With these empty hands
and a love undaunted

I want to take your place
Let my hands bleed
and let me make you happy
because you're all that I need

Sickness

we are the same,

you and I.

love is supposed to endure all things

but is it supposed to hurt?

the ends wear thin on the rope I hold

but this is where I stay for another day

and let it taunt me.

we are the same,

you and I.

but you are willing to fall into love

after he fell out

and show the world you're able to keep

A facade.

But I don't need your mask

or those arms

love is supposed to believe all things

but I don't buy it.

we are the same,

you and I.

but after lies and truth

and another slamming door

I win.

I can't even count my own scars

but you know what you bought

so take it back.

love is supposed to be kind

but I can't help screaming

the lyrics to your sad song

back in your face

word for word.

we are the same,

you and I.

but I won't trade love

for a lie.

What Now?

begging.

If I could force the hand
that moves this clay
Heaven knows I would.
But who wouldn't?

wishing life would change
but that would be called luck

not our normal pace.

My destiny floats in the mouth of someone
who doesn't understand

I wish he would listen..
He doesn't know his power

Some people want,some need
But one will do without,Sir..
if you clench your fist

Candles cast a shadow on our wall
but there aren't enough
for this castle
and no cake to put them in

Make up your mind.

Tears fall in the dust
and the flour
so that I can't tell the difference

Then it rains and the
muddy mess
falls at the feet
of the blind unjust

anyone out there?

I know that I don't update this thing as often as I should.. I kinda try to keep it free-form and only write when I feel the "need" to. I just noticed that my hits went up by about a dozen after my last post. If you subscribe to my post or are following me, please leave comments! It's nice to know that someone is reading your stuff.. THANK YOU!

Forgive You

Looking for a place to feel alive

Boston in the Fall should be so lucky
to be the place.
Paris in the Spring doesn't cut it
but I bleed anyway
In the middle of nowhere
special.

Change of pace,
please not slower.
As the rich get richer
I pray for tomorrow.
Don't mind me as I pave the streets
you walk on
and hope you'll notice the frailty
of my eyes while I'm searching,
looking for a place to feel alive

I'm sorry if you've found it
I haven't yet

I have dreams sometimes but
I've never seen these clouds that
fall over my door year after
endless year.

Balancing the outside and the in
is proving to be easy so
I'm afraid one will
stay the same

while I'm
looking
please etch over my door
those words that you whispered
and I'll find my place
while I'm
looking for you

home

In-between.

Seems to be all I've known
and yet
I consider the destruction
that should come after pride.

Somehow it never does,
and I'm left even still..
in-between.

Staying or Going, no longer an option

and I'm glad it's not,because
I'd have to choose.

Find myself high above the rest,
and somehow below.

They are not prodigies as they profess,
having no place to lay their heads
is proof enough

But I laugh while they speak,
for where they are they will stay

and this in-between is where I start

And he is enough
for the between,and the end.

and the rest know nothing but the space they fill

where their smile and pride gathers dust and turns gray
