You break me on the inside

After years of tears shed

and all the lies you lied

I am begging you please

Crack the walls that hold me

Let the chains fall to the ground

Set my broken soul free

Let me live my little life

Please I beg of you...
 

The fairy hiding in the garden is scared
The world around her is ever-changing
No one takes time to believe anymore.
She is growing weak, hiding in the roses
Her colors fading, her body now pales.
Once the magical keeper of beauty
Now only a drying drop of rain-
She'll make her final resting place,
The leaf of the pink rose she loved.
When she passes so will our innocence.
 

An elderly couple walked along the lake
Throwing a frisbee for their dog Jake
Fifty years of love and still holding hands
Eyes no longer strong enough to see
One replaced hip and one replaced knee
Fifty years of love and still holding hands
They look old to all those passing them by
But their love is still young, never to die
Fifty years of love and still holding hands
 

Sun dances through the haze.
Vibrant colors all ablaze.
Carpets of green and blue,
Wrapping around aging trees,
Glimmering with dew.
Mother Nature's comforter,
The moss, silently grows.
 

The distance between us is beginning to tear at my soul,

The love this heart holds can not bear much more.

I have tried to leave you, I have tried to forget you

But I find myself lost in your written words.

And again I long for the chance that we might meet along the way.

Am I hiding from a real love as I engage in an online affair with you?

Is it easier to say someone is waiting for me than to find a love I can see?
 

Our rainy afternoon

nestled in a lovers' embrace.

Our bodies never moving

as our minds begin to race.

My head resting sweetly

upon your naked chest.

We laugh about the past,

Your fingers through my hair,

and we discuss the future.

Sweetly the hours pass,

night once again upon us.

A wasted day of nothing.

With moments that seem

to be insignificant to some...

for me a day lying next to you,

has meant the world to me.
 

This one single tear
Is a sign of fear.

A fear deep inside,
I always lied.

Nothing is wrong
Reoccurring lyrics to my song.

The love that was, is no longer here.
All there is, is this one single tear.

I get so sad
It is hard to act glad.

Remembering the love.
Watching the birds above.

The clouds rolling by,
I never needed to cry.

Now I lie here
With this one single tear,
Filled with fear...

I cry!


 

We spent another night yelling
Our words of anger and hate
We never use to talk this way
Our hearts will fall, at this rate

Is it now time to say good-bye?
Is there no more love left?
Is it all at a loss?
Is there no more "Us" left?

We loved
We laughed
We cried
Now we fight…



written in 1999
 

I close my eyes to dream.
I see a man that I met once…

His hands showed how he worked…
Yet were, oh, so gentle to the touch…

His eyes showed the life he had lived…
Yet were full of unseen wonder…

His voice was strong and firm…
Yet caring and kind…

His words were full of wisdom…
Yet looking for untold meanings…

His kiss was short…
Yet full of passion…

His presence was brief…
Yet he will stay with my heart forever

 

There is a soothing wind blowing a cool breeze throughout the night, as two young lovers find themselves amongst the crowded city streets. Their eyes light up, enchanted by their lovers’ smile. The noise around them begins to become muffled by the rapid beating of their hearts.

They begin to move through the crowd, closer and closer to the warm, caring arms that are awaiting them just a few feet away. Their eyes never wander from each other, though people cross in front of them.

Then, as if no time had past, they are united and the rest of the world vanishes around them. He looks into her eyes and sees her heart. He knows right where he is supposed to be. She looks at him and yearns for his touch. She knows of the safety that his arms hold. They embrace each other, knowing the peace they share will help the rest of the day’s problems drift away.

Without saying a word, they turn and begin walking to their home. Their footsteps seem to move with each beat of their hearts. They need not say anything, just hold each other close. The silence they share is as enlightening as the fullest conversations they have had.

It is the unsaid story of their love and is treasured by both. Holding on to each other as tightly and lovingly as they can. They continue on their journey, making sure none of the outside world gets between them.

They come upon their little house, which is just outside of town, face one another and smile again. They have little to show for the hard days that they have spent working. But it never seems to matter once their hearts connect, and their little home becomes a castle filled with songs of love and laughter.

He opens the door, letting her walk in, but never letting her touch leave him. She enters the house and turns to him. They are now in their world and no one was going to enter. He reaches for her, their lips meet, embracing their love with open arms.


 

You are the one, whom I deeply love
but too many twists this loves made of.
Our hearts are true, but they can’t see,
Eventually we know this love can't be.

I see it all, though you hide it well,
Our love is causing, a living hell.
So please listen to what I say,
Look past our love and walk away.

Know now wherever your life may go
There’s someone will always love you so
Please place our love down deep inside
Our true feelings we must always hide.

We must now hide our love and our pain,
And we may never, ever see each other again.
Please listen to what I have to say,
Its for the best, and needs to be this way.

 

Our passion is lost
With the words we fight
But the true cost
Is we’re alone tonight

Our arms left
With the hatred we made
It's truly saddening
The high price we've paid

Our love is lost
With the anger we share
But the true cost
Is no one will be there

Our love dying
From our lack of care
Two heart crying
Still no one is there
