Moments are spent questioning "us" far too much
Were wasting time being without each other's touch
Sweet I love you's, kisses and comforting hugs
Are replaced by your silence and shoulder shrugs
The quiet only fuels all the words we both hate
It hurts me to ask, "Am I losing my soul mate?"
I am noticing a lot
It is breaking my sad heart
When I see the way we're acting
A lot of people need some smacking
When they do not realize
They are darkening the skies
Of strangers friends and family
Because they are greedily
Being rude racist and brutal
Attempting to change then is futal
Unless I have help from others
We are all sisters and brothers
Dark skinned, light skinned
Gay or straight
we all belong, its not too late
To bring us around back when
We treated everyone like friends
Whoever said it’s better to have loved and lost
Than to never have loved at all
Must have confused what they were feeling with infatuation
And never had fallen under true loves enthrall
If you have never known such a love
Then you don’t know what it is to lack
An emotion that in the end can destroy you
If it is ever suddenly taken back
You may search for love not knowing
It is the one thing your soul does crave
The luckiest ones in my opinion
Will keep fruitlessly searching till the grave
The damned ones are those who find their soul mates
And are finally made complete
Only to be ripped apart with loves desertion
Whats left of your soul slowly dying with every heartbeat
Because the person that rejects your love
and leaves your heart broken and shattered on the floor
They forever take from you that which their soul was lacking
Fundamental pieces of your being that made you who you were before
I have personally felt the rapture of two souls united
And the unbearable agony when that love was lost
So I say to all who are still trying to find true love be wary
Because in the end that which you seek may come at too high a cost
My rainbow's on fire up in the sky,
The flames are emotional pain.
The colours of hurt fall in a storm,
Fall in a colourful rain.
And her thunder sips coffee in a future of doubt,
A future of quiet torment.
The stallion, the bull's now a broken down dog,
The grand piano just got up and went.
Deep down I know my hurricane of love,
Won't kiss the harp that it once knew.
My bandit of love has ridden away,
Leaving my rainbow a shadow of blue.
If You've Lost Someone You Love
You Know What Pain Can Be
There Is No Feeling Better
No Future Can You See
Things Will Be So Different
Without the One You Love
It's Very Hard to Visualize
So Pray to the Man above
Death Is Very Final
On That We All Agree
The Best That We Can Hope for
Is to Have Good Memories
One Thing You Should Remember
Time Will Help the Pain
Keep All this in Mind
And Don't Forget..You Shall Meet Again

what did i do
how do i do it
i dont wana lose him
but i always seem to do it
i think so much
ask questions like crazy
worry so hevenly '
that i drive him so crazy
how can i change
what can i do
i love him so much
i need to get a clue
theres only a thread
can loose him in a secondof a day
my minds going crazy
nothing to do what can i say
its all my fault
its all in what i do
somethings gotta give
if my love is true
All bundled up
And locked inside
As fear kicks in
To join the ride
As I'm alone
I curse this dream
It locks me up
Laughs at my screams
I live in fear
And dread the night
When all i see
Black in my sight
In the abyss
Something that's seen
As fear partakes
It glares at me
My life gone mad
When i realized
There is no love
In my lovers eyes
I can’t see
Unconscious I am
Blows within
Losing love
My eyes see the love leave me
