Speech Therapist Needed (Call 458-8968)

I know this might seem chidlish
But I always start to studder
When I feel the truth creeping toward my lips

The truth is….  It is…
I, I, I d-don’t know what im saying
I, I l-like our conversations
And I like y-your sense humor
As you laugh off how, I am all tripped up

passing bullets through lips
of the best of backstab friends

Super Glue, Diazepam, and a Quart of Nyquil

My life revolves around
Heart breaks, Long goodbyes
And way to many sleepless nights

My heart breaks
Every time I take a breath
And I’m still standing here alone

My hands shake
Every time you turn away
And I am forced to let you go

My mind keeps
Me from drifting off to sleep
Just by picturing you here next to me

Actually I Have a Quite Extensive Vocabulary

There are some things that I should say to you
But I just can’t find the words
They keep running from tongue 
And avoiding all my thoughts

And I’ve got to find a way, to say… you are… 
Well you are…
The words that I can’t find
And the feelings I don’t know

But I’ve got to find a way… to show…
That I can never let you go
Until I find the words, to say…
You are... Well you are……

You are the rain that hits my roof
And sings me back to sleep
You are my strength to rise again
When I’ve fallen to my knees
You are the warmth that comforts me
When the cold has made me weak
And still these words they don’t explain
All the things you are… well you are….

So I try again to say these things 
That I should say to you
To track down the words and bring them to their knees
And let them flow across my lips

So you can finally see, to me… you are…

Well you are…
The words that I can’t find
And the feelings I can’t show

But I’ve got to find a way… to show…
That I can never let you go
Until I find the words, to say…
You are... Well you are……

You are the rain that hits my roof
And sings me back to sleep
You are my strength to rise again
When I’ve fallen to my knees
You are the warmth that comforts me
When the cold has made me weak
And still these words they don’t explain
All the things you are… well you are….

My Chest Is Your Welcome Mat

Lost Love is always welcome here
Behind blue eyes
And in these tears

Inside my hollow hopeless heart
Between black lungs
And broken parts

Upon my calloused finger tips
That touched the skin	
I've come to miss

I Finally Understand Why You Can'T Go Home Again

The sun never shines here in south town
It’s only covered up
by a dust of regrets and letdowns
that i can never come clean of

the shadows dance in the alleyways
the darkness plays in the sun
the children all searching to find a way
for these shades of gray to be fun

we've been living on the wrong side of town
for way, way to long
we are lost when we wake up
still lost when we lay down
and i think it's time we find our way out

lately I’ve begun to notice
things haven’t changed at all
they are all the same
as they were when I was small

maybe my eyes have changed
maybe my life is stained
maybe I can’t understand
why the colors drain and the sun dims

maybe we've been living on the wrong side of town
for way, way to long
we are lost when we wake up
still lost when we lay down
and i think it's time we find our way out

Inkblot

i've tried to write for you
i've tried to put into words
The most intimate, and meaningful things
To ever cross my mind

I cross my heart 
I think i would die
If i could force my feelings
Into just one line

But the syllables they never sound
As powerful once they make it out
Pass my lips and through air
They're softer than you could ever hear

A Pyromaniacs Prayer

Oh my friendly flames
Flicker, fade and dance
Lash out at the this night sky
Singe my regrets of yesterday
And make ashes of my broken promises
Leaven unburnt only the inflammable truth
Let the embers simmer and raise up like a phoenix
Spread your wings and scorch narrow a trail of hope
That i may follow to its end where i shall falter and fall
And at that time i will call again upon you to flicker, fade and dance against my night skies

I Stole This Apple Off the Teachers Desk Just For You

This swing set and see-saw romance
Is gonna make these playground emotions hard to forget
But i never speak a word, inside the classroom
'Cause I'm afraid what the boys would say if they knew that i loved you

And that i always run slower
When your the one chasin' me
Cause i want more than anything
For you to catch up and kiss me

I blush just a little, 
but not cause i mind
It's just that i want you to catch me
all of the time...

So yeah, a few years down the road
I'll invite you back up to our old school
And out beneath the beaming playground lights
I'll kiss you... and i won't be ashamed

But as for now,
I'll scribble little tiny hearts around your name
On the the cover of my notebook and on every page
But if its all the same to you
I'll tear out all the pages when my friends come back
C-C-Cause I'm scared of what they'd say, 
If they knew of all the games that we play

So tonight i think ill crawl right into bed
And meet you at that swing set in my head
'Cause thats the place where i like to see you most
And I'll try holding you close.....

Wandering Eyes Leave Broken Hearts In Their Wake

I don’t understand
What they don’t understand
About the way I feel
When you come into the room

And your eyes…
Your eyes give grace to mine
Just for a second…
Just for a moment froze in time

And you smile…
Inside I’m smiling all the time
Thanks to you…
And the way you cross the room

So please remember
That I dream of you at night
Your smiling face, your glowing eyes
And the way they always give me life
The comfort in 
Your sweet, soft voice
Carries me off to a place
I’ve never been, but I never want to leave
So please don’t forget
Don’t forget to notice me
