Time Itself 01/05/03 The sun sets and the moon rises The days are as numerous as the leaves on the ground And yet I can not remember a day going by That I did not think of you I wonder if what I did was right Wonder if we should have broken up that night I have stopped noticing the grass growing And the leaves turning orange and red I've stopped carrying if the sun rises And if there comes another day The seasons change And still my heart aches Longing for what it can not have Longing for what isn't there I wonder if the day will come That I'll begin to notice The leaves slowly fall to touch the bare earth Marking the passing of summer Winter leaves her trace Coating everything in white And as I sit by the crackling fire With my big warm sweater and my cup of hot chocolate I think of you and of the warmth that you once had provided I think of you and sigh Wondering if I'll ever move on Ever feel whole, Ever be strong A wolf howls at the milky moon And I sing with her She cries for her lost love As I cry for my lost man Tears stream down my face As the fire glows I shiver under my blanket And rub my arms trying to get warm But I know that this cold Is not on the outside But on the inside And there surely is no cure But time itself

For What Was Not 01/07/03 When I first saw you It wasn't what I imaged So I ignored you Looked past your shoulder Brushed you aside But as you stuck around I got to see who you really were And I liked what I saw But I was afraid Of what others thought So I kept my thoughts hidden Deep within my heart But finally I decided to show You how I truly felt But when I turned around To tell you so You where gone Disappeared Right out of thin air So I looked for you Every chance I got My eyes searched everything For the One thing that I sought, And that was you And when I finally found you It was too late You were so far away Couldn't even hear my voice And I wept for you, for me And for what I have lost Wept for what could have been And wept for what was not

A Clever Coating 01/12/03 Dreams Are A Film That Cleverly Coats Over The Harshness Of Reality Like A Thin Layer Of Fog Against The Black Night But Some One Comes When You Are Sleeping And With A Sharp Knife They Cut Away Your Dreams Untie The Strings That Once Securely Held Them In Place Your Dreams Float Away Leaving Holes In A Coating That Kept You Safe Safe From Reality You Awake And Find Nothing To Hold On To Nothing To Keep You Safe Nothing To Make It Right

It Took 01/31/03 It took a lifetime to find you And a second to lose you It took a lifetime to hide my feelings And a second to uncover them It took a lifetime to know you And a second to love you It took a lifetime to Hold you at a distance And a second to hold you close It took a lifetime to learn How much a second is worth It took a lifetime to understand How much a second can mean It took a second to Set everything in place

Here And Now 02/05/03 Like a slowly cooling ember On the morning after the fire So is my heart, slowly dying You're the earth and heaven The reason I'd give up livin' None of that matter anyhow But I just can't seem to bring myself To live in the here and now

Angel Of Light 02/11/03 In the pit of darkness Where shadows surround me I am a light a beam of hope in the gloom I reach out, up to the sky Yearning to be free To feel the wind on my face I stretch out as far as I can Lifting my arms up But just when I think I might Just escape from The depressing darkness I feel the icy cold touch of demons' hands Pulling me down into the depths of doom But then I see a hand of pearly white Reach out of the heavens to pull me Up out of the demon's hands That long to pull me down into The depths of the black hole Where their consuming hate dwells This magnificent hand pulls me up Into the white puffy clouds And suddenly golden wings Sprout from my back My black rags are immediately Transformed into a silky satin gown I spread my newly grown wings And take flight to the air I soar up into the sky I fly into a translucent cloud Letting the white billows Enclose around me Feeling the soft sweet embrace I glide above and below the perfect clouds Feeling the wind rustle my hair Fluttering my golden wings And making my white satin dress Billow out behind me I fly up to the end of the sky And now I fly beyond it To explore the great unknown To discover new possibilities And exactly how far my precious Wings can carry me

Destroyer 02/16/03 At first, I wanted you But I could not have you And there was nothing I could do Because you wanted her I was blinded I didn't see you as you really were And now my eyes have been opened wide I see you as you truly are Now nothing can hide It has all been placed before me In the light I see your original shape And I hold the key The key to destroy you To let everyone know Let everyone see how you grew Into a twisted and bent, wreak of steel You are black and cold Thinking of no one but yourself You make everyone else mold You are out to hurt others Anyone who gets in your way Will pay, no matter who, sisters or brothers You find pleasure in other's pain You laugh in delight as they scream You watch the blood on the carpet form a stain For you there is everything to gain And for them, everything to lose You are a dark cloud, filled with icy cold rain You are a destroyer

An Innocent Kiss 02/23/03 A gentle smile An innocent kiss Gleaming teeth Parting lips Throbbing neck Passionate embrace Anxious mouth More than you can take Softly screaming Gently crying Heavy breathing Someone dying Red blood flowing Sinking teeth Slip into unconsciousness Were darkness creeps

A Song 03/02/03 There are many songs But they belong to others Their names are written upon them With golden ink and pens But I want a song of my very own One with my name upon In silver ink and pen A song that is a secret A song that only I know A song that's true meaning is known only to me A song that rings of paradise A song that whisper of the rising moon A song that tells of the old times When the earth was young in spirit And her heart glad A song that sings of the ancient ones Deep in canyon walls A song that carries the tide on its back A song that rides the wind into the night A song that animals sing and understand A song that reaches out into the night To the lost ones and brings them home A song that goes on forever and ever A song that time does not exist for A song that lacks nothing A song like the sound of the rain A song that fills your head with dreams A song the rekindles the youth inside you A song that is perfect A song made for me

Like An Arrow 03/10/03 Alone in the dark I sit and wait With a big question mark On my heart, a heavy weight Why did you leave me? Was it something I said Did you just want to be free? For so long my heart has bled Like an arrow, your departure Has pierced my heart You left me no cure Just a poisonous dart You gave me no warning No sign or reason You took your class ring Then everything came undone No more picnics in the park You've stabbed my heart No more romantic dinners Just your last remark You didn't love me anymore We were over and through So you walked out the door And there was nothing I could do
