It has been a little scary
And I'm just a wee bit wary
Going on without your love
Now your an angel up above
Taken away from me so quick
Life plays a really cruel trick
When the one you love is taken
Leaving you insanely shaken
Not knowing if you'll survive
Feeling as if a knife
Was plunged right inside your heart
Your stomach tied up in knots
Day by day the pain is worse
Praying you could just reverse
The fateful day you wont forget
But you can't cause it is set
In stone under solid ground
Gently you place all around
Flowers on a sad cold grave
Tears falling from a face so brave
Wanting dearly to hold on
To a love that is now gone

When your world is topsy-turvy
Opt out -- if you must
But don't stop CHARITY
GIVE a few coins, slices of food,
To the beggars, real or fake
And the universe heals THE HEART
By degrees. College degrees fail
All too often as does "religion,"
Just be human, a mensch, once
A day, at the very least, & "dance"
The blues away (reluctantly, secretly)

In day to day life
there's taking some kind of risk.
The future's always unknown.
What will be will be
Things go right, and things go wrong.
It's all a matter of fate.
One day at a time
Life's that way for all of us.
Otherwise, that is not life.

i ain’t never been to tokyo
its sunny here it’s probably sunny there too,
i guess
there was a bitter sweet breeze this morning
but it didn’t pause me
on my walk to the train, thoughts of my next step
head phones on, world off
my backpack is filled with things i wouldn’t use on a mountain climb
pay my fare pay my share
but i’m too cheap to pay attention
it’s probably raining in tokyo
i get a knock at my microsleep
“celebrity catches big fish”
so, i click the bait
hooked to useless knowledge i’ve just gained.
2:25 small fee, i’ll just paid attention
routined in this circular maze
but its sunny here,
its probably sunny in tokyo too

Even when these skies are gray
While so easy to feel dismay
I fight my way through fog that hovers
All the bickering in the world that smothers
The smiles and kindness from others
I listen to a tune and look for the light
Dream of your reach, taking me on a flight
Where I know that I am forever free
Resting in your arms, as you comfort me
Thoughts of you are never far away
With all that consumes me day to day

It's funny how we go day to day acting as if life is just fine
That's something found only in fairy tales and nursery rhymes
True we hold up the image portraying everything's okay
Even though someone wakes with a purpose of tyring to ruin your day
We walk about emotionless pretending that we're strong
Dealing with life and it's only mission, to prove that you are wrong
Putting too much into people that wouldn't invest in us
Dumping all our trust in something we don't even trust
Trials and tribulations makes it harder and harder to cope
Watching revelations come upon us and we act as if it's a joke
Looking towards the future and we see there is no hope
Its like watching your house burn down and everything goes up in smoke
What use pushing for change when we refuse to draw the line
All the jealousy and hatred from so many narrow minds
Closing eyes on the truth that we're facing the end of times
Ain't it funny how we go day to day acting as if life's just fine

Daily everyday,from day to day I.
Lose in your memories.
But you do not know this.
How do I sleep without you.
Daily everyday,from day to day I.
Lose in your memories.
Would not have been without you,
my pleasure and happiness are her.
You are all mine,I am without you,
Where is anything now?
Dreams you see when I sleep in nights.
But even then why not i happy without your?
Daily everyday,from day to day I.
Lose in your memories.
But you do not know this.
How do I sleep without you?

As a young boy he looks to the future
Lives day to day, always looking ahead
It’s all about “when I grow up someday”
I’ll decide when I have to go to bed!
As a young man it’s fun times to be had
No parental rules to get in the way
Still building his future with job and wife
Enjoying life’s challenges day to day!
With old age arriving, the time speeds up
And the aches and pains of aging arrive
While looking back on happy memories
He lives day to day just staying alive!

I reached out to touch you
but it wasn’t about your skin
to slide my mind upon your heart
to reach who you are within
Mankind looks upon your shell
not upon the life inside
they only see the shoreline
not the ocean where you reside
I remember being young of heart
my mind was bonded to what’s old
where experience has laid the paths
and repetition the stories told
Another day has come and gone
the minutes that I’m given are delight
too soon will come my feebleness
my loss of mind and sight
But if I should ever lose
all that I am within
I would wish that you remember
all the love you have to spend

Ive been through heartbreak
I know time will heal
The difference is that
its not sadness I feel
Its a feeling in my gut
it lays deep down inside
That tells me I need you
I can't be denied
I love you so much
and I hate you as well
You make me euphoric
you put me through hell
I awaken everyday
feeling worse than before
I feel so wrong
down to my core
I punch random objects
I drink the pain away
The worst part of life
is starting a new day
Time isn’t helping
days crawl past
I sit and wonder
if our love will ever last
I pace like a mad man
banging my head
screaming obscenities
all i see is red

Revealed to me on this day of gray
Where my thoughts to tend to stray
What desires I seek out most
And how best about them boast
For within this hour I seek your grace
In hopes it would bring me your face
So that we could simply speak
Before my passion does grow weak
Though immortal it may be
This love of mine does still bleed
Not with blood or liquid gooze
But with words the feelings ooze
And since with me you are not
I write these words lest they be forgot
For so much must go unsaid
And forever repeat within my head

These times, ill never forget; being with you, i never regret
Adjusting to your every move like the shore to great waves
Following your love, and my heart is all it saved
Your rainging presece cleases my frantic mind
Leaving me with many thoughts, of a sweet kind
I couldnt imagine living without this sort of inspiration
For you are my day to day motivation
Simply with you near, my day lights up
Because of that, my feelings erupt
With a sudden burst of dormant love
And forever i will stay, as your dove

I live my life day to day,
Never knowing what's coming my way,
Who's going to make life worth living?
Who's going to take it away?
My heart is covered with scars
Did you ever stop to think,
this isn't her fault, its ours?
I didn't think so.
Well what do you know?
Here I sit, pen in hand, thoughts in my head,
Are you thinking about everything you've said?
Trying to remember, just what it was.
Here's an applause.
It's just for you.
For you and everything you do.
For everything you've done.
You're the reason I'm where I'm at.
You can believe that.
I didn't ask for any of this.
Nor do I want it.
Everyday I make a wish,
I never waste it on me.
How rude would that be?
Instead, I wish for everyone else.
I can't sleep at night,
I lay there and wish everything will turn out alright.
Hoping that not only will the next day be a new one,
But that it will be a totally new one.
Worry and stress free.
That's the way it ought to be.
No one will truly ever see,
The way you've made me.
So thank you for everything you do,
I really love living this way.
It makes me absolutely insane.
Theres not much more to say.

Today I saw a gentle wind blow through the trees.
I heard the song of birds on the wing.
I thought I tasted sweet honeysuckle flowers.
I felt the dew on the new grown grass.
I caught a faint whiff of fruit from an orchard.
Yesterday I saw a rough breeze fling soot into the air.
I heard a deep, sorrowful silence.
I tasted death and despair on my tongue like bitter medicine.
I felt the dead branches and brambles under foot.
I could smell the world rotting around me.
It’s amazing how the world can change from day to day
And how much we try and forget yesterdays wrongs but can’t.
