Time betrays my sleeping comfort,
The slits of sunlight escaping into the room from behind the curtains,
Breaking the silence protruding from the darkened room.

Blindly trying to find a way,
searching for something I had never known,
looking to fill the space between the lines,
clear the clouds within my mind,
and you found me.

I slept today,
I slept the day away,
All the while thinking of you,
Dreaming of me along with you.
The hope and love in your eyes
Finally shining past years of sadness

Wasted days
Spent with him,
Side by side,
Hand in hand,
Were lonelier than any other.
He searched my eyes,
Brushing hair from my face
As he touched his lips to mine.

Behind smiles I
Will always hide
From lonely lies
And secret cries.
Hurt will blend
Into another scar,
Leaving me alone
And lost again.
Broken hearts
And shattered dreams,

Here I stand
In the darkness of the night,
The flames surround me
In a wealth of loneliness.
The heat fresh against my flesh,
Fire burning deep into my eyes,
Looking out the window,

Alone she cries,
Standing in the shadows,
Wondering why he hurts her.
He sees the other girl,
Touches the other girl,
Kisses the other girl,
Tells the other girl she is beautiful,

Brown hair, blue eyes
with a love for the world.
I'm intellectually engaging
and always curious to know.

I'm strong and independent
and usually quite guarded.
My life was in control,

Water pours
from crystals of blue,
a stare of agony
looks up at you.
Lying on the ground,
bound and broken,
pleading to God,
but He has spoken.
A well known stab,

A poker face of bright eyes
and a cheerful smile
hide the pain and confusion
tied to an unrepairable past.
Yet I keep on living
the very same lie,
letting others take from me,

Friends,
Just friends…
Why is this so hard to say?
Can’t you love me for just today?

Words cannot express
This emptiness I feel within.
Each day I see your face,

Now, my mind is spinning around each thought,
stabbing its way into the cloud of confusion
that is me.
Who ever thought happiness
could be such misery?
Each thread I try to spin out

Season's changing
your eyes are blazing into mine,
for the first time in a while
I've seen you smile, seen you smile
and heard you laugh
and seen you're happy just to be
with me.

What shall I become
this time around?
A mindless beauty
for you to push about?
Or how about a jester
for you to make fun?
It is always the same
when it comes to you.
