My Faith

You have your doubts
And I have my mind,
I know what's about 
To start to unwind.
We are so twisted
That soon we'll spin,
I make you so pissed
That I seem like a sin.

When I think I'm doing
What seems to be right,
It turns out to me
Id be better out of sight.
That look in your eyes
Tells me I'm wrong,
The sound of your voice
Sings like a mourning song.

She walks on by
And strauts her stuff,
You think I'm looking
My faith is tough.
Looks don't take me astray
Cause I don't care,
I'm faithful that way
My heart isn't there.
(It's here.)

Sometimes I cry
When I think of you,
'Cause I want you to know
My faith is true.
I just want you to know,
That I'll say it to anyone;
I'll always say no.

Our Love

Our Love

My heart starts aching late at night,
When I start dreaming of you.
Remembering all the memories of light,
All the good times and the bad with the feelings due.
I'm crying every night,
Because of all we lost.
I remember when our love shinned bright,
Now the light smoldered by the cost.
My love for you,
Is true.

I'm sorry that or love has died,
Black as the darkness of a winter night.
I can't imagine that you cried,
Not even in the wettest winter night.

Now I came strolling by,
Looked through the window and saw him.
I tried my best not to cry,
As the light in my heart grew dim.
I tore up the flowers I bought.

I thought about busting down the door,
But there's nothing to say
That I haven't said before.

Now I just continue strolling,
Around the corner and down the street.
And I still don't know
Why things happened like they did,
But I just walked on home,
And dreamt of what I dare not did.

Now I just lay there,
Like my heart has fallen out.
I miss you dear,
But now my light has burnt out.
My love for you,
Was true.

Words Unsaid

A pad of paper
Clicking pen
Words on a page
You wouldn't understand

Thoughts and feelings
Swirling in his head
Images of things unseen
His words remain not said

Circle of silver
Round and round
Shine from the bright works
Falling to the ground

She walks in the room
As the ring hits the floor
The look on his face
One never seen before

Eternal Life

Through life comes a time
When a man wants someone;
Love has this wonderous shine
Simply bright from a special woman.

When a man and a woman
Fall in love - at first sight;
Love is found in that someone
And it shines so bright.

As love goes on
Loving turns to life;
As life goes on
A woman is a wife-
And the two shall live
In eternal life.

One Last Chance

Each night I spend
Thinking of my sister.
How fast her life life did end.
'Bless you my dear
Long lost sister.'

A bed you so lied,
How I wish you were here,
Standing by my side.
Standing at the door,
To the world of life.
Heal the pain and sore
On which your departure
Did cause.

That great lever
On which you stand,
Which on does sever
My love for land.
You my love for you is
Stronger.
How could you go
And leave my wait
So much longer.

'Bless this body
In which my dear, dead sister
Did once live in.'

For Holy body
and Holy soul,
I would give my life -
To hold.

My Dearest, Dearest Sister

My dearest, dearest sister,
My life went black
When you left me behind.
I kept asking;
When will you come 
Back for me?

My dearest, dearest sister,
Where are you?
Are you in Heaven?
Perhaps even Hell.
Do you remember me,
Your brother?
I was almost four,
You were only 18 months.
Every night I cried.
I missed you.
I now realize it,
You're not coming back.

Penguins and Hearts

Penguins and hearts
And can't you see
I can't live without you
It just has to be.

I love you, I love you
Dont you love me
I need you here
Just you and me.

When I close my eyes
All I can see
Is you here
Here with me.

When you speak
Your words just hypnotize me
From saying "I love you"
To "It has to be."

Penguins and hearts
And can't you see
You're the one
The one for me.

I Need Her

When I fall asleep,
It's eleven at night.
Most of the time,
I cry to sleep.
But sometimes,
I don't get the chance.

When I close my eyes,
I can see her
Laying there so lifeless.
I know she can feel me,
Staring at her.
And now I can feel her,
Staring down at me.

I know she wants me
To be happy.
But I can't without her
Right by my side.
Right here,
Where a sister belongs.

I need you,
Come help me.
I need you,
To tell me what to do.
I can't live alive.
There's people who love me,
But not like a brother.

We would have been great,
We would have been the best.
Just like
A brother and sister should be.
I wish you were here.
I need you here.
Right here
Where a sister belongs.
Where my sister belongs.

Together Once More

I know one day,
When the music starts to play,
I will be with you again;
With all the stars of Heaven.
We will walk the clouds of Heaven,
With you right next to me.
Just how a brother and sister should be.
We'll dance till we make thunder,
And we'll be together once more.

God giveth and God taketh away,
And God giveth you back.
Oh, how my heart aches,
Every night you're gone.
I couldn't live another day,
Know my sister left behind
All the love she ever needed.
So I fly to you,
Like the untouched messenger of Heaven,
To return the love which was lost.

My sister,
How I miss you so.
I know one day,
When the music starts to play,
I will be with you again.

Our Secret

We met as friends,
Without a doubt.
Few days later,
We're now going out.

Our feelings
Turn to actions,
Making love
Is now what it's about.
I know she loves it,
Cause I make her shout.

Every night
And every day,
Our friends
Come out to play.

Our parents suspect nothing,
Of our evil sinning.
My heart would go away,
If they knew of my day.

My only relief
Is my love for her;
I feel I must watch myself,
Less I make her suffer.
