Why do you heal me, only to bruise me? / Why do you save me, only to use me? / You lift me up, to make me crawl / Where will you be, when I fall? / / My heart is fine where it's supposed to be / Lost in the dark, for no one to see / You cannot find it, safe where it's hidden / I can't allow access, entry… sign in to read more »
A feeling of acute despair, / With fear walking on the nerves. / A lump gathers in the throat, / With the mouth parched, / Words stagnate. / / Solitude is an abode, / With loneliness a friend. / Disgrace sets in with anxiety, / With self pride, / Will alienate. / / Remorse comes from instinct, / With time as… sign in to read more »
the one story of our lives / Boy, girl, meets / Girl loses boy, boy loses girl / But it's seldom happily ever after / And yet the only teaching we get is happily ever after / / at a point when it doesn't work out, / we tend to believe it was someone's fault / When it works out whose fault is it- / could it… sign in to read more »
Sorry for you, sorry for me. / sorry that the little we have / is not enough for you / Thank you doesn't have to cost / It's the thought that counts not the price / Love has no price, only what we give it / It can cost nothing but is means everything / / Sorry for the change, when did the price of things… sign in to read more »
Yes I still have some / It's like looking in a mirror so very long ago / When being free, was sitting in a tree / / I get free hugs, free kisses, at every turn / Kisses and hugs without the burn / / Whispering secrets and special stories, / Laughing at mistakes, nothing so serious / / When being silly is… sign in to read more »
in the middle of the night / when the time is right / I find time to cry / I cry because I am alone / in this civilisation of things / treasured friends come at a cost / / I pray at the alter of music / I lose myself / there's music that transports you to fairyland / there's music you hum / sing-along with… sign in to read more »
Life's not real it seems so fake / More like a dream / Until the moment you wake / Then reality takes hold, turns your world upside down / Your once beautiful smile is now a permanent frown / Theres not a twinkle in your eye / Too many tears have been shed / From a perfect dream to reality it's hard to say… sign in to read more »
Some days I want to give it all up and quit / And yet I stick thru and bear with it / I'm starting to like the person I'm becoming / Instead of the person I was / From my problems I was running / I always knew at the end of the tunnel there was a light / And now that I am closer / The light is starting to… sign in to read more »
You can cover up your scars with lies and deceit. / You can fabricate fairy tales that seem solid as concrete. / / But you're wrong in thinking, / So wrong in thinking... / That everything you don't have, will make you happy. / / Your whole love's a lie. / She never fails to try, / Not giving in to your "… sign in to read more »
A mindful eye reminder to the hurt / Living within a space by one / Faced in the clutches of love and pain / For the cycle of life unaware to many / / A visitor no more / In a soulful house for many to see / Occupying a neat little time within my soul / Take a moment and pause / I am home- / / Like… sign in to read more »
I maybe new to you / I maybe a stranger to you / But as the music starts / I took a few steps / As my heartbeat seemed to stop / / Who would have thought I'd find you here? / Who would have thought? / A moment like this with you / Is a worth to share? / If you could just hear me say / Oh, hear me say.. / / To… sign in to read more »

Numbness arouses the very pinnacle of being / Pins and needles from head to toe / For a moment in time I feel no pain / I feel free- / / Letting go a vacant emotion, I sweetly clench / A heart beat lost / Within racing pulse / For I must bear / This is the only way- / / Shimmering sweaty hands… sign in to read more »
Sweet memories play childishly / In the play ground of heart / My mind spinning in essence / Of ecstasy once experienced / Now lost in life's life- / / A twinkle catches me / Putting me in those / Moments back in time / But just for a moment / All is come and go / You and I- / / Sadness wiped away… sign in to read more »

"Me, love and you... Three halves of something whole, / If one is missing, everything is clear." / These words can paint the sorrow in my soul, / But once bright colors fade away in years. / Once sweet anticipation of your arms, / A shard of dreams, by now has turned to fear / Of someone else's charm.… sign in to read more »
Sometime I keep thinking / Of the other woman / It is hard to forget / / I keep on asking myself / Why would he still want me now / Why would he still want me to stay / After all he was looking - wanting more / / Don't fool yourself / Your are not what he wants / Can't you see / You're not what he desires… sign in to read more »
