I held her hand as tight as I could
Even though I knew it would not do much good
Her breath was shallow and weak
If only my eyes could speak
...

The words they would not come
They were stuck inside of me like prisoners of war
Deprived of daily senses stored in some dark dungeon
I wanted to speak but silence prevailed
...

I didn’t attend your funeral
I hated you that much
I did send roses
The thorns for you to touch
...

I keep telling myself
That things will change
New ideas will rise for us to rearrange
Chaos will bury itself in red tape
...

Love doesn’t live here anymore
It walked out and slammed the door
It packed it memories and faded photographs
It took its dreams, it took its laughs
...

No matter how hard I try
I'm stuck somewhere between nowhere and goodbye
...

All alone in the pouring rain
Carrying nothing with me except the pain
The pain you put into my heart
My heart will somehow make a new start
...

The quiet moon in its entire splendor
Sails across the starlit sky so tender
I hold you in my arms tonight
Everything feels so right
...

Maybe I look at life from a different angle
Maybe there are some knots that we don’t need to untangle
Maybe I look at the world from a different point of view
Maybe all lies are not false and all truths are not true
...

Imagine, if we could Let it Be
And walk down the Long and Winding Road
All We Need is Love to lighten the load
Yesterday we were Here, There, and Everywhere
...

Boston Massacre
It’s a crisp spring day
And thousands came to play
More came to watch and celebrate
...

Don’t treat me like a glass butterfly
So pretty and so fragile
I could be tough as nails
Melt your heart with a smile
...

As I walk down the lonely street
Knees get weak, can barely keep my feet
I see the fence, the gate, the porch
From where you gazed and lit my torch
...

The wind came to me
Hiding in the shadows
Like a dirt devil
With octopus arms
...

You are my Valentine
So lovely and divine

You are my Sunshine
...

To what courage do we fall
Lest we not hear our commander’s call

Fool nor folly, we must not judge
...

I miss you, the real you
The one that used to smile everyday
Where have you gone, I miss the dawn
The one that you brightened up everyway
...

This story is about a broken heart
I bet you've had one or two
When your heart is in a million pieces
You look at life with a different view
...

Sitting like a statue on the shelf
My heart aches for company
Tonight I met the woman of my dreams
But I was only sleeping
...

It’s been a restless two hours with no sleep in sight
Sleep is not what I do best at night
As I toss and turn, thoughts are scrambled in my head
Underneath my pillow, underneath my bed
...
