The Secret

The emptyness the moment brings
What's become of this goal?
Everything is temporary -
Eternity to make you whole

These friends will leave you
Your lovers will all fade
So you must hold on loosely
To these idols you've made

So don't worry what the day will bring
is that really your dream?
The secret lies only in this:
Love goes farther than it will ever seem.

So fall in love, dance, and sing
Love everyone and atleast try
If you ever want to truly live,
You must always be prepared to die.

Casualty

Your arms cut like a knife into my side
yet persuade me to stay just one more second
I am your truth, your esteem
I am a brick in your wall
a trophy to be shelved
Your feelings are a drama
performed by the best of actresses
What affection is this?
I'm sure I'm not the only one to know it
Your waiting for him
so why keep me around?
Your leading me on
while pulling these strings attached to my side
and the pain is more than I can take
This is a war between you and him
and I am the casualty

Merely Lost

Chances are taken
this heart stands broken
the world passes me by
The wallflower stays
and ferverntly prays
that this will be the night
Where is that someone
who once promised so much?
Shes gone, another tear
Pity, my lone crutch
please reach out and touch
this heart and bring it back to life
Sympathetic eyes
do their best to try
an look the other way
Seems like everyone's got
that someone they need
but theres an odd number
of people like me
Where is love?

I fall on my face
I feel your embrace
misplaced love
is no love at all
But God, I feel so small.

Missed Opprotunities

It took me weeks to find the words to express
these feelings I have inside
but mere words won't do it justice
now my heart is left in this mess
The chances I had I completely missed
I wasn't ready then and
I didnt want to scare you off
If only your lips weren't begging to be kissed
Now I look back in regret
I could've told you then
and I thought I could tonight
But my expectations were not met
I cant help this and I felt you should know
that I cant see myself with any other
that your laugh is my only goal and
Your my star which always seems to glow
But I didn't tell you
I'm not sure why
I have now but
I miss you too

Well Did You?

I wondered if you noticed
when I tried to hold your hand
when my world stopped at your gaze
when your head met my shoulder and
You smiled.
I wondered if you noticed
that I've never been here before
this place between friends and lovers
where your eyes see to my heart's core
And leave their mark.
I wondered if you noticed
how my heart is dying for your attention
but my body is living for your touch
and these words I can't bring myself to mention
Are hid in fear
I wondered if you noticed
that this one is about you
miles are the obstacle
but we can't be through
We will never be.

Well did you?

Love Is Her Validity

Lean in closer, let me feel your breath
You blink slowly, with an unbroken gaze
Speak softly now, its only us around
Closer now, my mind slips into a haze
Your city lips want to play this game
Just a little bit, was I wrong?
Now you have me as a trophy, to show all
What happened? You were too strong
You have more like me
but you will never have me again
Your deceit, my pride
So this is the way it must end
Go, Runaway, and find your validation
Thats all that you're about
I didn't see that game coming
You had me, but I have you figured out.
