Say aloud the time is up
Call them in the dark.
Wonder where the homeless sup
And where evil leaves their mark?
...

I always stay longer than I’m supposed to when I’m with you
Tangled in your legs, in your mind,
in the wonder of your beautiful spirit.

...

My heart
Lying so still in my arms
My Love
Personified;
...

This is my unlearning
Of life and love
Of clothes and shoes
Of being in control
...

My lover; my friend
when can we meet at a point of conscious humility?
When will the arrogance of our egos,
and the aggression of our insecurities
...

I wish I could have inspired you
In those days now gone
Those days when our emotions were strong
and we believed that this was where we belonged.
...

Will you remember those days
Those first days
When we started finding out about each other
And about all our crazy ways.
...

We dance
This awkward dance of pretend
We both know we don't belong.
...

Bitter words on my tongue
Only making my soul numb
I tried to let you understand
That all I wanted was your hand
...

I think I'll be fine
I think I think too much
I so desperately wanted to believe you
I found it hard to
...

So September belongs to lovers
Lost in a belief that everything means something in the end
Somehow I'm finding it hard to believe you.
...

So September is over,
December is on its way
And as we said our goodbye's
I couldn't believe how easy it was to say
...

The face I see, it is me
But its not who I used to be.

The skin I see, so full of flaws
Is the same face the world adores.
...

I met you when your heart was ruined
Your spirit was troubled
and your belief in love had exiled itself into the darkest abyss.
...

The musty smell of twenty three years
Now stares me in the mirror.
Alone without fear
Knowing that the end is near.
...

I sit and think about my life past.
Does anything seem to ever last?
I cried tears of sorrow and joy,
and hated and loved all in one day.
...

An overdose of silver rain
Am I going insane?
Do I live only inside my head?
because the living only leads to the dead.
...

All along the road I've walked
Along life's road I've walked and talked.
Many times I needed to rest
But walking on was what was best.
...

Speak to me
Anyone!
Make me think I'm worth it.
I've been sad and happy all alone
...

Cast away the shades of grey
And all the tones of blue
I'm crying in a world of lies
Crying in a world untrue.
...
