My Heart Wont Listen

I've tried to get you out of my head
and erase you from my memory
I've tried to hate you for a long time
adn make you a part of my history
My mind tells me to forget you and move on with my life
My head tells me to walk away and never look back
The way you cut my soul with a knife
I really just need to let you go
But my heart is telling me something different
It keeps longing for your touch, aching with desire
I want so badly to forget but I haven't yet
The passionfor you rages out of control
Every time you walk into the room
my heart skips a beatand leaps out of my chest
If only my heart would listen to my head
maybe I could finally get some peace and rest
But the love I feel for you cannot be killed
no matter how much I have tried
The cup of affection keeps gettng filled
and it won't stay empty at all
my mind tells me to forget you
my head tells me to move on somehow
but my heart simply refuses to obey
And that is why I still feel that love deep inside right now

My Eyes Tell a Story

My eyes tell a story
That my lies can’t deny
If you want to know me
Look me in the eye
And you will see the truth
That I try so desperately to hide
But my eyes are the window to my soul
And all that I carry with me inside
On the surface I can put on a good show
I can manipulate and disguise
But underneath all that cool exterior
Is the harsh reality hidden behind my eyes
So if you want to know me
Look no further than my own eyes
They will lead you to the path
That will reveal all and make you realize
Who I really am, the person undercover
That is hidden from outside view
Unless you take it a step further and look closer
The real me will be forever hidden from you

My Prison Without Bars

I am locked up in a prison 
of my own creation
with no hope of escape
from this life long incarceration
the chains are locked up tight
around my heart and soul
no matter how much I plead and beg
I will never be granted parole
the sins which I have committed 
are too numerous to name
I regret the awful things I've done
and walk away in chains of shame
the daylight never filters inside
this dark and empty cell
as much as I wish I could
there is no way to leave this hell
I will carry my burdens with me
forever will I wear the scars
no matter where I go, outside or in
I am living constantly in a prison without bars

Ode To Loneliness

As night dwindles down to day,
       Life seems to be swept farther away
           Darkness breathes into my soul
                   To a depth I cannot control

Patience is not an asset I possess
       Love is not an asset I possess
    But loneliness, pure and black and wretched
       Leaves me nothing but bitterness etched
    Down deep in my hollowed soul
        That mourns the losses of my love

Everything I do comes back to darkness,
       Nothing I do leads to happiness
     Fear is nothing to shame, this is a 
        Fearless and useless game
             That my heart is playing on me

Time passes on to another age,
       My life's book is on its final page
Streaks of gray run through my hair
        As if any of you even care
My life was empty and lonely
         But I never needed therapy
So now do not pity me
         For I do not need or want any

Loneliness speckles down deep into
                My empty soul.

Gone Too Soon

Just like a page that has been ripped from a book
or a shooting star that disappears after a single look
you were here for such a short time
how can I go on without you by my side
I thought that I would have you longer than I did
but death is incomprehensible to a little kid
I yearn for the healing touch only my daddy can bring me
and now all I have left to cling to is your memory
the life you lives was so full and happy
but too short for any of us to love you completely
you are in Heaven, this I know
I am still here longing to be with you so
but until God sees fit to reunite us some day
I will keep you in my heart with all that I do and say

In My Blood

You are my addiction
that I can't break free of
I try to pretend not to need you
But you are all I think about
My temptation is you
And I am trying to remain strong
But my strength is gone
you are in my blood
And I cannot stop the fall
I am through fighting
And give in to you once and for all

Best Mistake I Ever Made

Baby you're the best mistake I've ever made
cannot regret the choice to let my heart go
and to trust you with it all completely
you are the most amazing love I'll ever know
and even though I've been hurt too much
and been beaten down by words you've said to me
I still know and I still totally believe
that you and I will always be meant to be
the past is forever gone, never to be undone
the future is still in front of us, completely unknown
I don't know where we will end up honestly
but I do know where I am right now, and I am not alone
Yeah baby you are not what is always good for me
and many times you can make my heart bleed
but even in times of utter disgust and despair
you are always just exactly what I need
so even if I chose wrong to be with you
and trust you with my heart soul and mind
you are the best mistake I have ever made
and another lover like you I will never find

Just Let Me Love You

you fill me up over and over again
the love you shower me with is grand
my shelter is in your arms so safe and soft
I feel like you are the only one who can understand

the way I was before is now gone
who I am now is the me I like
not the person who was always left alone
to be hated and stared at most of the time

smiling is my favorite thing to do now
and I really like to laugh a lot
I used to only pretend to be happy
but now I smile at all I have got

the precious jewel you are to me
I cannot ever let go of you
please don't ever set me free
and just me love you

Devil In Disguise

I am not who you think I am
you don't know me at all
I am who I pretend to be
to get you to trust me
and gain your respect and love
I am not genuine or sincere
I have no goodness inside
I am lost, lonely and afraid
Just like the miserable coward I am
You can't see the real me
because I lock her away from view
when others are around, I pull out the charm
I make jokes and smile at everyone
but no one sees what I do
they don't know the truth
that when the lights go out and
it is just me laying awake alone in bed
who I really am
that person is no one's friend
and she has no soul
she is just a shell of a person
no hope, no passion, no love
no feeling at all
numb to the core
of her very existence
with no end in sight
every day she wakes up and
starts the act again
the phoniness is everywhere
in her eyes, in her smile, in her words
and especially in her actions
she treats you so well
you can never guess
the monster that rages under it all
the cool exterior is just a front
a mask worn to keep the truth hidden
if you only knew what I really was
you would run far and fast from me
and you would forget you ever met me
for I am not good
or noble or inspiring
I am the biggest phony full of hypocrisy
and jealousy and greed
I am selfish
and disingenuous with no regard for you
or anyone else around
I am the devil
and you should run away
before I destroy you and take you away
to the same eternal hell I am living in every day

A Debt Owed To You

I used to be a cynic, yes this is true
I never believed in love and then I met you

The way you smiled like a ray of light
The way you buried all my sorrrows out of sight

The way you simply took be by the hand
And led me to this place where I now understand

What it means to love someone with all of your soul
The passion you feel for them is beyond anything you can control

I now know the meaning fo a love without condition
And no longer am I cynical, this is my admission

Yes I now believe in a love so deep and true
And I owe ti all to the one who made me see and that would be you
