Looking back
Being stuck in the past
Life passes so fast
Days go by
Seems to fly
Sometimes I wonder where the days all went
Was it time well spent
When I am looking back
The memories seem to attack
When did this day become night
Will time make things right
Staying in the fight
Living one day at a time
Looking for the right rhyme
With myself I am sometimes at peace , then times I am at bitter war
Do I deserve more
Lost all
What a fall
I make myself crazy wondering why
To love is to cry
Afraid to give my heart
Afraid to make any kind of new start
A hermit living wild
I am still that child
Somewhere in my mind
I never left him behind
I find
I stand apart
Face any thing I fear
Except a tear
Is love real
If a heart you can steal
I know a heart can break
That is the chance you take
Then find out maybe love is fake
Hearts never heal
But continue to feel
Still
I want nothing, yet I want it all
A chance to stand tall
Afraid to try
Sitting here wondering why
A night
... so bright...
Lost in the moonlight
Yesterday comes back to haunt
My heartbeat does taunt
Telling me I am still here
Never fear
Who would ever wish to hold me dear
Night is now day
But even that will never stay
Today
Tomorrow
Some days I find my land of no sorrow
Give or take
It is the choices I make
I would rather stay free
No one else I would rather see
Just my dog and I
Living under the sky
Watching time go by
