I Wait

Dearest Love,
I wait for you
while life remains uncertain.
A gentle breeze
a winding road
a life behind a curtain.

Dearest Love, I wait for you
and what the future brings.
Starlit skies
hidden smiles
you are that which all hearts sing.

First Love

Sway me
Lay me
Down to sleep.
Make me come
Back to your keep
As I fall under your thumb.

Tease me
Please me
Make me beg for more.
Watch me kneel down
As you straighten your crown
On that which I adore.

Ride me
Confide in me
Break my heart
Until it ceases.
Leave me
Sleeve me
Rip my soul to shattered pieces.

Waste Not, Want Not

I wanna be the song you sing
whenever you wake.
I wanna be the reality
within the smile you fake.
I wanna be the reason
for every breath that you take.
I wanna be the crime
behind the rules that you break.
I wanna be your rock
when your heart aches.

It seems I'm too selfish
for wanting this cake.
I'm sorry for loving you
my worst mistake.

Who Are You

Sitting on your pedestal
Or high horse if you will
Judging those you've never met
People standing still

It's all the same
We all make choices
If it's not what you would do
Who are you to have to voice it

I'm no better than the poorest souls
Or the richest of the suits.
Who are you but an angry sheep
Dressed in the skins of the righteous brute

Bow down before the ones you scorn
For we, tolerate you
Choke on what sets you apart
We have none to prove
So what does that make you

Daydream

In a perfect place
you and I are one
living life as it should be
no pain, no guilt, no strife.

In a perfect place
you and I are free
sharing worlds as it should be
no secrets, no lies, no regrets.

In the perfect place
you and I have built
more than anyone can imagine
no walls, no barricades, no limits.

Rest assured
we have found each other
lost along the way
with nothing left but broken hearts
that we can mend together.
When everything is said and done
our hearts will beat as one.
That is when
we shall see
the perfect place
for you and me.

Untitled

Why am I different
Why am I here
I want to wake up
till my head is clear

It hurts when your words
cut my heart like this blade
If I cut a little deeper
this pain will fade

I wish I could find
a way to quiet the noise
bang my head on the pavement
till I lose my voice

Stop trying to dig
your way into this shell
There's nothing to find
but a dried up well

I just want some peace
a way out of this place
cuz I am too loaded
like this gun in my face.
