Love In the Water

Listening to your voice is like the waves hitting the shore. Calming and rippling through my soul to my heart.
Seeing you is like standing on the shore watching the sunset. A magical moment in time. 
Getting to know you is like a fresh breeze blowing off the calm waters. Refreshing and full of excitement.
The waiting is like the storm in the ocean. Once it starts it's devastating, but once it's over it's relaxing.
To think it'll end is like being lost at sea. Losing all hope that you'll be found and lose that love.
Regaining that love is like the moon glistening over the water. The glimmer of light radiating through the darkness, a new hope that is you.

A Lost Love

I fell for you hard
Not knowing this feeling
Can't stop thinking of you
I tried so hard not to

Talking to you makes me smile
Your calming voice echoing through my mind
Seeing you lifts my spirit
Forgetting everything around me

Enjoying the time I had with you
Felt like it could go on forever
The moments that we shared
Forever imprinted in our hearts

Lately there has been a change
It's like you are not there
Even though you are far away
The distance between us is even further

I try to hear your voice
All I get is the sound of silence
I'm putting my heart on the line
Receiving the feeling of rejection

This feeling growing stronger
Another piece of you lost
My chipped heart falling apart
Piece by piece sinking into oblivion

Where have you gone
The beautiful person I fell for
Please come back to me
Before our love fades completely

My darling I love you so much
That it saddens my heart
Tired of feeling this empty love
Release me of this suffering

Goodbye my Love
The last pieces of my heart have fallen
Enduring this pain and sorrow
But I will love you forever more.

A Lover's Torment

You came like a blazing fire 
Scorching everything I knew 
Through the flames, I admire 
With a love that's new 

Talking with a blissful voice 
Melting my heart with a fierce heat 
Overtaking me without a choice 
Knowing I could never cheat 

My thoughts travel towards you 
Tearing my soul in two 
Waiting for the soothing dew 
The lines of love becoming askew 

Tormented by your touch 
Fighting my one desire 
I've never hurt this much 
Waiting for this to backfire 

Should I leave you behind 
And live with my regret 
To end this soulish bind 
Ending my hearts secret 

Goodbye, my love 
This blaze is gone 
Waiting for this hole to move 
But my love for you will not be undone.

Nightmare of Pain

There is always a nightmare
that all loved ones know.
Knowing it can be hard to bare
as time seems to go slow.

Waking up one day
and all will be gone.
As you begin to pray
praying for a new dawn.

Waiting for reality to set in
braving those sleepless nights.
Questioning what it could have been
not seeing it in our sights.

Wanting to give into temptation
to end all the suffering.
No longer going in motion
to rid of all the wondering.

The urge to pull the trigger
increases by each passing minute.
Now feeling more bitter
about the pain that has taken route.

Stay strong and overcome
to plot a different course.
Wait for a new outcome
where you come out on top with force.

The Burden

The Burden is falling hard
Struggling to find a way
Disappearing in a crowd
Invisible to the world
Ready to give up
Then a light shines forth
Growing with each step
Sorrow replaced with hope
Walking hand in hand
Music to the spirit
Joined together by peace
In unity by love
Never feeling alone again
Together til the end of our days
Then bringing in a new life
Overcoming the challenges it brings
Raising it to new heights
Caring with all our hearts
Protecting it til death
Setting the example 
Providing a suitable life
Never giving up on it
Giving it a life to live
Going through hell and back
The Burden is falling hard
Surviving through it together

Heart

You hurt me literally and figuratively, I will crumble.
I sustain life in humanity physically and emotionally.
If I stop working mankind would cease to exist.
Keep me healthy and I will flourish.
Treat me with care and I will bless you.
Try to break me and you will suffer.
The connection between us will fail.
You will be physically and emotionally scarred.
It will take a while to fix me.
But if you try, I will try also.
Time will not be your friend.
So please hurry, so I can help you.
Don't lose faith in me.
For if you do, you lose faith in yourself.
I am talking to you, through you.
Please listen, I know what I'm talking about.
I am your friend, I am your life, I am your heart.

United

We are supposed to be United
United against any cause
A cause that affects us all
All of us against the world
The world that we created
Created by our own hate
Hating against one another
Another reason not to care
Caring about the destruction
Destruction of our friends
Friends that we could trust 
Trust that has been lost
Lost in the bounds of time
Time in which we do not have
Having to rebuild
Rebuilding a new love
Love bringing us together
Together we are United
United as we are supposed to be.
