Patriotic Deed

Stars shinning bright,
against the darkened midnight sky,
know that our prayers are with you,
and all hopes are flying high.

You went over there,
to protect our freedom over here,
when thinking of you,
our thoughts are sincere.

We watch things on t.v.,
they say you're no longer in danger,
yet knowing you're still there,
seems to build on the anger.

They say we have him,
right where we need,
just a little closer,
and we'll do our patriotic deed.

Earthquakes

You know this isn't right, 
it's not the way we should be,
I know you'll never want this, 
because you choose to see her in me.

I no longer deny the fact of that being true,
wish you could no longer deny the fact that 
I'm so in love with you.

I can't change this, 
though I know you wish I could,
but say even I could, 
You know I never would.

Slowly but surely, the truth I am beginning to see,
the paths were set for you to choose from,
hopefully you want to walk them with me.

I want to be with you forever, so 
I'll do whatever it takes,
because when you make love to me,
it seems the whole earth quakes.

Losing Your Mind

Listen to me closely, 
let my words sink in deep,
I hope you think of me at night
and lose every second of sleep.

Try as you may, yet you feel as
if you're losing your mind,
telling yourself there's no one
like her on earth, I'll find.

Why you let me go, 
the reasons I'll never be sure of,
one things for certain,
you have forever lost my love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Fire Inside of Me

I'm starting my life again,
I'm starting it brand new,
I'm going to forget the day,
the very moment, I ever laid eyes on you.

You played with my mind
and you teased my broken heart,
I've come to the realization,
it's best if we're apart.

Better for my thoughts,
just better for me,
HA! you always did say
I was a selfish s.o.b.

I only thought of myself,
yet everything I did was for someone else,
there is no blaming me this time,
you brought this on yourself.

The pain that I put up with,
became more than I could bare,
all I ever wanted,
was to show that you actually care.

Finally I'm tired of asking,
baby do you love me, are you happy with me,
my body just can't take anymore,
and I'm now willing to set you free.

To the one who has your love and happiness,
and the one you give the same to in return,
yet I'm stuck trying to put out this fire inside of me,
the fire you still make burn.

Hopes and Dreams

I lay in bed every night, holding you with these thoughts in my head,
waking up every morning , wishing it was my arms holding you instead.

I waited so many years for my dreams of having you to come true,
I was so happy when finally I got to come home to you.

I sit here wishing that I could always have you near,
we were never far apart, and you would always be here.

I told myself that you were sent from the heavens above,
that God would send me this angel, to share my life and love.

Times have gone by, and all I have are these hopes and dreams,
could of beens, should of beens, and would of beens, that's all we have it seems.

My dreams of loving you, the thought of seeing our love grow,
taking the time to hold you, and your thoughts I wanted to know.

All I wanted was a chance, but you want to walk away from me,
all this love I have for you, for some reason, you can't see.

So I sit here thinking of times we could of had,
but you want to walk away, if ever times get bad.

Rising Heat

Memories I want to make with you,
memories I want to share,
but I need to know you love me,
because more heartache I can spare.

You said you wanted to be with me,
then your said what you said you done,
I just could never see that happening,
when you say you really love someone.

Someone who kisses you, 
and loves you passionately every night,
waking up to you the next day,
knowing that more than likely,
you want to fight.

I know your love is dying,
I can feel the rising heat,
just know my heart is doing the same,
with each lonely and broken beat.

Let Me, Let It Show

I look into your eyes, maybe then you'll see,
take this moment, let me show you what you mean to me.

I'll hold you in my heart forever, I'll never let you go,
I love you with every beat of my heart, let me, let it show.

I have so many feelings and thoughts of us caught up inside,
just let your love show baby, you have no reason to hide.

I know you're scared, but I'm asking you , please don't be,
I'll never break your heart, you've got to believe in me.

I wish I knew how you felt or what you are thinking, 
but all I see in your eyes, is our love sinking.

Lets don't let our love become part of our past,
I gave you all of me, in hopes that it would last.

Your Touch

Sitting here next to you, trying to make you see,
yet slowly I've realized, there's no place in your heart for me.

Hopes of loving you, the thought of us growing old,
yet our time went so fast, and the memories have all grown cold.

My love was never good enough and my tears were all to much,
yet anytime I cried out to you, all I needed was your touch.

Bed Made For Two

You have put me in my place,
I now know where I fit,
you've told me over and over,
that here is not it.

I belong somewhere else,
in someone else's arms,
far away from you,
where to me will come no harm.

Was I in someones way,
did I keep her from you,
I can't believe this is how you treat me,
as good as I was to you.

I came to you and 
my heart was on my sleeve,
I told you that I love you,
and you said you'd never leave.

My feelings are never fading,
these feelings I have for you,
it's so hard sleeping alone at night,
in this bed made for two.

Voices are calling me,
screaming in my head,
reminding me of you,
and the hurtful things you said.

Only you can console my heart,
and break it again never,
but obviously this pain and doubt
are going to keep me down forever.

Trying To Hold On

Try to hold onto me, 
hold onto me tight,
don't tell me to walk away, 
let's end this miserable fight.

When you say you don't want to be with me, 
it gives me pain I've never felt,
when you tell me you can't stand me,
it's like playing the worst hand ever dealt.

I've given to you everything,
only to have it thrown back in my face,
everyday I'm here,
I feel I'm only invading your space.

I crave your attention, your love and your touch,
your heart, your desires, your fantasies and such.

So try to hold onto me,
hold onto me tight,
come and talk to me,
just once, try to make things right.

You say you can live without me,
but I don't know what I'd do,
if ever there's a morning,
I don't awaken next to you.

We've come this far,
and I don't want either of us to hurt,
I don't know about you,
but I need for us to work.

So I'm hold onto you,
I'm holding on tight,
because, I'm hoping,
{Oh My God},
we can work this out tonight.
