I Run

I run and I run 
but what am I running from? 
I can't remember anymore 
my past is a blur 

My breathing is ragged 
my chest is burning 
and I feel the sob escape my throat 
as hot tears stream down my cold face 

I sink to the frosty ground 
the early morning fog disguising my form 
and I let the pain rip through me 
the fear, the regret, the loss 

Overpowered by guilt and regret 
the feelings consume me 
Where has my life gone? 
Where is it going? 

To feel again is overwhelming 
but this ache in my chest wont be sated 
I pick myself up and put on my facade 
and I run and I run

Forgettable

When she held you close, did I fade away? 
My memory lost 'til another day 

My blue eyes lost behind her green 
The pain inside them, left unseen 

The times we talked and shared our pain 
forgotten, when she called your name 

So much between us left unsaid 
but no space for me inside your head 

My lifes a storm, and you were my port 
a reprieve, however sweet and short 

The times we shared I cant regret 
But I hate that i'm so easy to forget

Between the Ears

I raise my glass 
and give false cheers 
 
Leave on the light 
to hide my fears 
 
Wear make up 
to fade the years 
 
Bow my head 
to avoid their sneers 
 
Run in the rain 
to disguise my tears 
 
Plaster on a smile 
as inside it sears 
 
Gaze at the clock 
as the time nears 
 
Watch it slip away 
as it disappears

Take the Leap

The moment our eyes locked
I knew it was you
now i'm stuck like glue
I promise its true
 
how the girls must have flocked
to drown in those eyes
I still hear their sighs
Oh, I sympathize
 
their advances you blocked
and you said for me
said i set you free
and i'm all you see
 
but its my world you rocked
with your charm and wit
and my fires were lit
with the lip you bit
 
Overwhelmed, I am shocked
cos' your mine to keep
so true and so deep
so I take the leap

A Friend Indeed

Whenever Im in need 
and even when Im not 
you are a friend indeed 
your the best friend that I've got 

You know me in and out 
and I know you just the same 
We never need to shout 
cos' we never place the blame 

Your always on my side 
even when i'm in the wrong 
held my hand while I cried 
when I wasnt, you were strong 

I've been to dark places 
when nothings going right 
turned to all the wrong faces 
but it was you who brought me light 

I know I dont need to tell you 
cos I know you feel the same 
and our friendships strong and true 
and I know you'll say Im lame! 

But without you in my life 
I dont know who I would be 
you've helped me through some strife 
so you can always lean on me!
