Little Toy Soldiers

little toy soldiers all in a line,
they get knocked down one at a time.
but they march on, tiny and brave,
into the sunset, into their grave.

Butterfly Kiss

when she leans close,
i lose my breath.
she is my life;
her kiss is my death.

it amazes me
that a kiss so light,
could make me feel
as dark as night.

it is all so baffling, 
i explode as i suck in.
i feel like a child,
in this mood that i am stuck in.

she is my everything;
the very breath in my lungs.
without her i'm useless,
like a ladder with no rungs.

her lips dance on mine,
a graceful waltz of kisses.
i cant help but think:
this must be what a dead man misses.

her kisses light like butterflies,
her light breath in my face.
"i love you" she says, 
and my heart will never cease to race.

The Broken Pieces

i turn away from you,
your words still ringing in my ears.
how could it have come to this,
after all these years?

i could apologize a thousand times,
but you will never forget the lies.
being away from you,
my heart has morphed into something new.

but i still see you thru the bars
of this cold, dark jail cell,
guarded by my mistakes
and all the secrets i'll never tell.

all my heart yearns for is to be renewed.
but in all my blessed repentance,
i'm left with all the broken pieces,
cold and rotting for a lack of you.

This Love

i want to kiss her lips
and touch her skin with my fingertips.
when i am with her my heart is full;
while she is beside me nothing is dull.
i just want to hold her in my arms,
if only to keep her safe from harm.
i love her with all my heart;
this innocent love is a work of art.

All I Ask For

all that i ask for
is all that you are.
i am the night sky,
you are my shooting star.

you complete me, 
you know that you do.
all that i ask for 
is that you don't find someone new.

together, 
we can leave them all in awe.
you leave me with my heart's passion,
bleeding and raw.

this thing that i feel,
i cannot contain.
i'm bursting at the seams,
as i stand in the rain.

you pour down on me,
from the clouds up above.
i cannot explain the way
you fill me with love.

all that i ask for,
is all that you are.
i am the night sky,
you are my shooting star.

Right Now

right now
as the rain falls
my heart falls

right now
as you look away
i die inside

i thought if i should let you know
how i truly feel,
you would feel the same,
but dreams don't always become real.

all i wanted was to hold you close
i know i can treat you better than her
if you were to be mine,
i would look at no other.

i don't ask for much.
all i want is you.
you could've been my baby
now i don't know what to do.

i'm drowning in all these feelings
i wish i was by your side
this feeling of rejection 
makes me want to run and hide

right now
you are all i want
but you are walking away

right now
i could be your everything
but she's the one holding your hand
