The Last Several Days

Verse 1:
Broken- simply because I was careful to let you know just who I was,
But you loved me despite all my flaws, and I never saw that in someone before.

Verse 2:
My- biggest problem was pride. I could own the whole world and be dissatisfied,
But the day that I lost you I thought I would die; that day I realized that you meant so much more.

Chorus:
I will dream of you if you want me to, but I hope you know when I let you go
There are tears in my eyes when I wake up alone.

Verse 3:
Sometimes you never know how much you need someone until you’re alone;
And now “never” means letting you go, and what hurts the most is you need me now, so-

Chorus:
I will dream of you if you want me to, but I hope you know when I let you go
There are tears in my eyes when I wake up alone.

Bridge:
Lately- you’ve been what’s made me- so completely- empty. I wish you could see just how it hurts me deeply.

Complete Chorus:
I will dream of you if you want me to, but I hope you know when I let you go
There are tears in my eyes when I wake up alone.
And I’ll say it’s ok, I’ll lie to your face when I tell you I’ve slept well the last several days, but you’ve kept me awake. (You’ve kept me awake...)

Poetry: A Poem

There are times in life when poetry is absolutely necessary, but poetry is meaningless if it comes from anything but the heart. It is useless if read to a careless listener, and it has no purpose unless it speaks to the individual personally.

The secret to mastering the art of poetry is the fact that there is no secret.

When that crucial time in life comes where poetry is absolutely necessary, speak from your heart. This display of raw emotion captures the soul of the careless listener, and speaks to them on such a personal and emotional level that their life is forever altered.

Dance with the Devil


Verse 1:
It’s easy to point fingers when you’re not the one to blame, so do you understand the struggle that I’m feeling?
I know that it’s my fault and I can see that I was wrong; my only problem was my problem with admitting.

Chorus 1:
But now- now I know that every time you give your heart away it shows.
And if the devil asks to dance again, I need you to explain to him, “No, he can’t go.”

Verse 2:
It’s easy to relax when everything is going fine, but when the world revolves the opposite direction…
Would your will remain this strong if everything were going wrong, or would you fall into another deep depression?

Chorus 2:
And then- when you’re there, you will watch your friends pretend they really care.
And though you try to turn your back to me, it won’t change the fact that we dare say, “Life’s unfair”.

Verse 3:
Don’t ever cross your fingers even when you lie to me; give the illusion that you’re telling me the truth.
But if that’s too much to ask, at least hide them behind your back. If I don’t see them, then there’s nothing I can do.

Chorus 3:
Then when- he returns, just ignore him; that’s the only way he learns.
And if he asks to hold your hand again, remember that his gentle hand turns to one that burns.

Chorus 4:
And when- your friends have left, you will see they only loved what they could get.
But when the devil says he’ll love you still, remember that he means until death, sometimes that’s best…

If You're in My Heart


Verse 1:
I know you're heartbroken at what's taken place, I see the hurt, but the look on your face
Tells me you don't believe that I can ease your pain, and as hard as I try the result is the same...

Bridge 1:
Let me take a step in the right direction, then take a step back to where I was.
You here with me is the only solution, but we'll make it through, make it through because:

Chorus:
I have your heart and it keeps me believing, that there is hope as long as your heart is beating.
You are still with me although I can't see you, but if you're in my heart, there's no way I can leave you.

Verse 2:
We sought for answers to solve what we face, but every solution left us in a place
With a central dillemma; the worst of our lives: if we're not together, how will we survive?

Bridge 2:
To avoid a step in the wrong direction, we'll take our time to know when
We'll have to make do with the things of the present 'til we meet again, 'til then just remember:

-Chorus-

Tag:
You know I love you, so we'll make it through though I'm not there beside you.
But when you miss me lead your memory back to these words, and let these words remind you.

-Chorus-

Ending Chorus:
You have my heart, let it keep you believing- that there is hope as long as my heart is beating.
I am still with you although you cant see me, but if I'm in your heart, there's no reason to miss me.

A Tragic Love Song


Verse 1:
I tried to forget you. I tried to let go since the day that I left you.
I'd never regret you, but the way that this looks makes you question me.
I bet you wonder... Dying to be- loved but you think: "Is he lying to me?"
I swear you- are all that I need; I wish you'd believe, I wish you'd believe.

Chorus:
This is the day that I realize why I love you.
I'm falling apart, but I'll hold it together to tell you:
"As hard as I try, I just can't live without you."
And I was born to let you know-
That I could never let you go.
This is the day that I realize why I love you,
And I just wanted you to know...

Verse 2:
I tried to replace the- whole in my heart with intentions of false love,
But it- wasn't good enough. At best I was lonely and miserable.
You raise the question: "Would you hurt me?"
I swear I would never intention-ally.
If you saw the heart inside me, then you'd believe, then you'd believe.

Chorus:
This is the day that I realize why I love you.
I'm falling apart, but I'll hold it together to tell you:
"As hard as I try, I just can't live without you."
And I was born to let you know-
That I could never let you go.
This is the day that I realize why I love you,
And I just wanted you to know...

Bridge:
I bet you wonder... Dying to be- loved but you think: "Is he lying to me?"
I swear I would never intention-ally. I wish you'd believe, I wish you'd believe!

Chorus:
This is the day that I realize why I love you.
I'm falling apart, but I'll hold it together to tell you:
"As hard as I try, I just can't live without you."
And I was born to let you know-
That I could never let you go.
This is the day that I realize why I love you,
And I just wanted you to know...

Ending:
I just wanted you to know...

Let Us Be The Galaxy

Just say the word, and I'll do anything until the world is ours,
So let us be the galaxy; we'll hold the world within our arms.
Then we can make our bed in heaven; fall asleep among the stars,
Then we can leave the world behind us, babe, the universe is ours...
