I've made my
share of mistakes.
I lost count somewhere along the way
between heartache and
...

I am worth the world,
though I know it's hard to see
the diamonds hiding in my soul
(the good inside of me.)
...

Nobody loves me
nobody cares,
nobody needs me
or just wants me there.
...

He taught me
to seek freedom
fearlessly.
He taught me
...

This is all I have left to give you.
The truth, hanging on a silver string.

I gave you all I had,
...

Let's pretend for a minute
that it's all show and tell
that I'm not crucified
in this personal hell.
...

Please.
Give me something to hold on to,
a light to cut the night,
a beacon that shines through
...

You are my symphony
resounding in my head
Each passage of a minute
conducts a minuet, and I
...

Lost, ever wandering in this
strange wasteland of memories.
time slipping by like a fantasy -
a daydream, forgotten as eyes open.
...

Take it easy, take a breath.
Where are you rushing off to?
What do you have to do
that is more important than

I told you I could not do this again.
Ever.
You swore with every promise,

She's always heard
that if you dream it,
you can achieve it

There's a lonely girl
who has stars instead of eyes
and rain falls in crystals
whenever she cries.
...

The stars are dancing,
night has come, draped in velvet.
Distant drops of golden light are
the buttons of her gown.
...

I sit and stare at the moonlight, alone,
tears bleeding out through every poem to your ghost.
Bruce Springsteen plays in the background, but doesn’t fit
the quietly pensive mood that I am in.
...

The sun isn’t hot enough, the wind isn’t
quite so rare, nor so chilling
as to stir the sleeping spirit within me and
force my hand to write again.
...

This is my moment.

This is where you end
and I take to the sky.
...

I have lost the anger.
I have no inspiration
to take my words
and craft them into a twisted image
...

It would have been
easier
to stay silent, to let you
fade away with a whisper
...
