as a child
It felt a bit safer
knowing that everything
would eventually work itself out
and in the end
though we failed
to remain concise
in-between darkness
we were only men
i'm looking at my little red gauge
sitting peacefully on E
looks like it will be
another empty day for me
and i apologize
for the wrong turns
all the long sermons
and the little wishes
that hold life in format
the cold winter nights
that left me at your doormat
when i was alone
you brought my days comfort
a touch that misery couldn't sponsor
a tragedy to never disappoint
and now i wonder
was it us or the fact that together
we'd never go under
in correspondence to my
thoughts dancing along the windshield
i'm moving fast and forward
despite the rain indoors
it feels i'm going nowhere
my little red gauge sits at the back of E
looks like another empty day for me
"just like motivation everything else fades"
Drifting Away
U luv me u hate me
it takes all day
for you to find out what u wanna say
I'm waiting I'm crying on the inside
but I keep a straight face to keep u alive
but don't you see what's happening
I’m losing my grip on reality
so baby please help me see
that we really can be
or there's nothing left for you or for me
baby I love you,
you know its true
but I don't know what to do
so can't you see whats happening
we're drifting away
losing a piece day to day
we're drifting away
waiting for each other to find the right thing to say
and make it okay
we're drifting away
losing our minds day after day
were drifting away
slowly forgetting what we want to say
so we just go on like its another day
Lets cut 2 the chase
this isn't a game,
I'm tired of you and what u wanna play
u say all day that u really luv me
but I'm starting to wonder if its truth or play,
lets cut to the chase ,this is getting in my way
hey help me I've been waiting all day
4 u 2 come and find the right things 2 say
hey help me I'm not gonna wait all day
4 u 2 come and find the right things 2 say
dont you see i'm gonna leave
if u cant believe in what we used to be
why o why did you have to cheat on me
think where we could be
if u werent being the new you and u told the truth
so u better come fast
I don't wanna be rash
but u betta come fast if u wanna make it last
cuz there's only 1 thing I'm gonna say
YOUR NEVA GONNA GET ANY BETA THAN ME
u run your fingers through your hair and say u care
but im not some wear and tear teddy bear
p.s no title any suggestions?

Left alone with my thoughts,
Nothing good ever follows,
Emotionally hollow,
As the day grows on.
Left alone with myself,
My mind can't help but pace,
Frozen in this space,
As the days go on.
As the day grows on,
As the days go on...
I'm left alone.
As the days go on...
When the day grows on,
I'll be alone.
Left alone for good,
Unable to defend,
Some wounds can never mend,
As the days go on.
Alone, the pain is clear,
Depression..I can rely on,
Depend on...
As the day grows on.
As the days go on,
As the day grows on.
I'm left alone.
As the day grows on,
As the days go on,
I'll be alone.
Staring at shadows,
Squeezing my pillow,
Trying to forget
you are gone,
Refuse to let go of,
The faint taste of true love,
Your presence
is lingering on,
Since you walked
away from me
I cannot bear
to see the day,
The waking sunlight
through my window
Takes your
memory away,
If I could
see you again
I'd say..
For you,
I Aim,
I aim to be
I aim to see
The day your love
once again belongs to me,
Since you left,
I'm just not the same,
because its for your love
I Aim
The friends
who still know me
Know
I'm fading slowly
Baby, I'm not
doing too well,
Each day
as I'm waking
For you I'm waiting,
Loving you
and no one else,
When I, wake up
in the morning,
All I feel
is empty space,
Each second
I spend breathing,
is me thinking
of your face,
If I could
see you again
I'd say..
For you,
I Aim,
I aim to be
I aim to see
The day your love
once again belongs to me,
Since you left,
I'm just not the same,
because its for your love
I Aim
It is no wonder why
Oh happy day in July
When I sing of peace and love and joy
I of’t recall the birth of Mary’s baby boy
Born that first Christmas day when angels did proclaim
“O Earth, to you, a savior born; Jesus is His name.”
Oh joyous day in July
When yards turn brown and get too dry
I read again the story Bibles tell
Not like the Christmas advertisers sell
I know a time angels to shepherds came
And sang, “…a savior born; Jesus is His name.”
Oh festive July day
When I take time to pray
I am glad the Christmas spirit still remains
As I lift my voice with sweet angelic refrains
Christmas came years ago from heaven above
God’s gift given; precious Jesus, wrapped with love.
The love I expressed was true and real
You threw it back, you heal!
You chose him over me?
The reasons why I cannot see
He lie, he cheats, he is a fake
And him you chose? For goodness sake
You yap and moan about his ways
Yet, true love, you cast away
No sense do your actions make
Maybe you are just a flake
I am the best thing ever to cross your path
You discard my love, like day old trash
Are you blind? Can you not see?
The love that emanates from me
I hope on the day he is through with you
You sit and cry the whole day through
You deserve to be hurt and tossed aside
You are an evil thorn in my side
When you're done crying and think of me
Pick up that phone and there I'll be
You'll ask me to come over, if I could
And I'll say, "nope... you're damaged goods!"
Tomorrow comes
It’ll soon be here today
Be nice to me
speak softly dear
Don’t push me away
No, Don’t you push me away
My angers up
My day is gone
My time has tired
I slept alone
Everybody’s got someone
I need my songs
I’m going to get someone
My day is gone
Tomorrow comes
It’ll soon be here today
I’m going to call you
When I know
It’s going to be too late
I’m going to see you there
Back where
I knew you’d tear
I’m going to see you there
If you ever cared
Everybody’s got someone
I need my songs
I’m going to get someone
Don’t you know this song
Sunrise starts us on a new day
present tense is pushed away.
mind and body cleansed...
anticipation of the day is sensed
alive...just for the day.
The day lightens upon a meeting place
as the hands of time quicken their pace
Walking the human forged trail, you and I
the canopy of trees throw shadow to sky
shining...just for the day.
Thoughts long past arise, memories awake,
ever answerless about a path we did not take.
Return to today
...yet past thoughts stay
...answerless still
...resolution delayed.
happy...just for the day.
Stories are told, laughter is shared
silent moments between reflect the deepest of care.
Playful and fun, with an otherworldly feel
How many more moments like this can we steal.
complete...just for the day.
Sun dips down through the color streaked sky
already upon the time of goodbye.
As the light is fading, inevitably,
we delay our departure as long as can be.
Just for the day, I finally see.
Just for the day, just you and me.
Another day is dawning
and the Sun is rising high
he's dancing in the gentle breeze
across the morning sky!
The birds call out their greetings
as the Sun winks his hello
and I'm happy just to be here
to watch this morning grow!
I see the little flowers
as they're shaking off their dreams
my spirit swims among them all
within their rainbow streams!
The air sings with their perfume
in a fragrant melody
and I float in their sweetness like
a love struck bumble bee!
Another day has started
all its wonders I behold
the Sun is smiling down on me
he's filling me with gold!
Everything is beautiful
when Sunshine lights the skies
I know I'm blessed to see the world
through these enchanted eyes!
The days are getting nearer for the coming of the Lord
The days are getting nearer have you read His Word
It tells you of the signs to come and signs to pass away
The days are getting nearer the Lord is on His way.
Praise the Lord, Praise His name
He's coming back again
With the power and the glory from above
And that day will surely bring
Lots of pain and suffering
To the people who ain't ready when He comes.
Yes that day is getting near
When the Lord will soon appear
In all of His G-l-o-r-y
The signs are there to see
That He's coming back for me
What a joy that day will be.
Card playin' around in Reno,
Bettin' all day long,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
What everyone's gamblin' on,
Get it up, get it down,
Get it on, every round,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
Everyone's gettin' down,
You know who has the fever,
When playin' gets bettin' strong,
Sometimes being too eager,
Can have ya bettin' wrong,
Get it up, get it down,
Back on off, 'til next round,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
It's good to be bettin' sound,
Card playin' around in Reno,
Gamblin' all day long,
With good ol' gamblin' fever,
What everyone gambles on.
