Is There

Is there ever going to be a lonelier picture 
of me facing a moon that hides
behind a cloud of rain?
Or of me watching you from afar
and loving you at arms length?

Is there?

To Kris With Love

To Kris

I shall not count the nights when woes break down my door
Preying brutally on the affliction that corrupts my soul
I shall not count the tears that have dared to break my courage
Only the moments of bravery in the midst of this carnage

I shall not mourn for the evil that has befallen my womb
with words of darkness, despair, and impending doom
Instead I shall call out your name on my lips with utmost love
And carve out a memory as glorious as the skies above

My dearest son, your untimely passing has created a void
But a space filled with both anguish and a flicker of hope
And i shall not embrace my suffering as to kiss death's throne
For i know even in your passing you are back home

Loving you Eternally,
Your Mother

He

He looked out the window
his hair cascading down his shoulders

The world was silent then
Except the beating of my heart

And he had me there that night
in a fraction of a second

Like I Never Love

I hold your hand with the sound of my heart
Coz I can't bear the thought of you and me apart
I wish that every moment when you look at me
That I'll be the only one you ever truly see

You dared break the walls that i put in place
And when you tried, you tried it with your embrace 
I don't think I've ever loved anyone like i love you now
No, I've never loved anyone like i love you now..


When the clock strikes twelve
I pray that you never go
That you stay here right beside me
In the shadows
I promise I'll take you back into the light
But for tonight,  just for tonight just be mine


And I hold your hand with the beat of my heart
So this is how it feels when you've fallen hard
I don't think I've loved anyone like i love you now
I hope you bear with me, please bear with me somehow

When the clock strikes twelve
I pray that you never go
I'll walk beside you till the sun breathes tomorrow
I promise I'll take you back into the light
Just love me, just love me quietly tonight


You'll be the only one I'll ever truly see
In your silence, i pray that you just love me
