Touched by a revealing light
I look into the setting sun’s rays
Serenity overwhelms me once more
So many words I want to say
...

The chances I could have taken.
The things I could have said.
The flame that you awakened.
That voice inside my head.
...

Another Please
She could use a cigarette
She says she’s not addicted yet
But I see it in her eyes
...

When everything seems to go dark
I can see clearly
I can feel it all
Unspoken words bounce off the prison in my mind
...

You say I can be anything and do anything
Then you turn around and confine my mind
Erase my thoughts
Shatter my dreams and make me blind
...

...

Blood runs through the streets invisibly
Violence seems to have a history
No sure way to get out and away
So the troubles in her life seem to stay
...

Alone
The wind blows hard as the sky grows dark. The moon shines full; a lazy halo surronds it becuas eif the swirling mist.
Lights are out, streets are quiet. I am alone.
The world is silent. The darkness moves. Nothing at all is here.
...

As the storm rages on and hope’s light is dimmed
The world carries on and doesn’t look in
Lives are lost and things are destroyed
Yet for some reason, help won’t deploy
...

Sun sparkles and shines on the green jade leaves that look like gems. I'm left alone inside and I'm by myself.
No one looks for me
No one cares
No one sees me
...

Smash! Crash! Screech!
I hear it in the street.
Bang! Boom! Clang!
There it is again!
...

Waiting every night
For an ominous phone call
Resenting waking up alone in the night
Swollen with pride
...

I’ll keep running.
No stopping.
No walking.
I’ll keep running.
...

Resolve the lies and the truths that spin around the room like an electric currant causing problems and heartaches.
With an intimate look into the past, reach for all that was not obtainable and jump through the break.
With a scowl in your heart and a vivid reminder of why; the world crumbles around you.
I realize that forever is absurd and that love is persistently always in the back of my mind. Egging me on to take a shot.
...

We are impulsive.
Quick to judge.
Quick to hate.
Quick to love.
...

He loves me
He loves me not
I hope that isn't so.
He loved me
...

Life is an allusion.
She’s a wicked witch. He’s a nasty Grinch.
We can’t be placed into a genre.
We’re as unchanging as the seasons.
...

Yesterday was wonderful
The sky a perfect blue
Yesterday was wonderful
All because of you
...

I sat for hours lookin’ at the street
He was still nowhere to be found
Never got a call
It never beeped
...

Dark against the chandelier’s light
Alone in this big house
The truth is starting to seep through the walls
I forgot they had ears
...
