The Ride... Is the ride over? When did it end? I must have been sleeping, Feels like it just began. I knew it wouldn't last forever, But it doesn't stop me from dreaming. I dreamed of loving you, I almost started believing. I thought that I needed you, And that you needed me too, But I see I was mistaken, What I needed was to be true. So, is the ride over? Was it good for you my friend? If I wait here patiently, Will it start back up again? Charlene Metzger, 2003
Do you? Do you really even know me? Do you know what makes me tick? Do you know what I'm afraid of? Do you know what makes me sick? Do you know my passions? Do you know my dreams? Do you know my feelings, When I unravel at the seams? Do you know my values? Do you know what's important to me? Do you know what's deep inside? Do you know what I'm trying to hide? Do you know my past? Do you know what happened to me? Do you know my secrets, When I'm quiet and discrete? Charlene Metzger, 2003
Pandora's Box Pandora's Box is open, And it can't be closed again. The words have all been spoken, I can't pull them back within. The changes aren't all bad though. Emerged honesty and truth. The quest for self expression, revived my freedom and my youth. Invigorated passions, which were before denied, Have prompted my actions, to show what is inside. Charlene Metzger, 2003
The Train... A train coming down the tracks, Such force, such power. Constantly running to its destination, Stopping only to reload. You can hear and feel it from a mile away, Long before you ever see it. If you are waiting for it, It seems to take an eternity, But if you're not paying attention, It will smack you down, Like you were never even there, In an instant. Then it's gone. Just as it came, You can hear it and feel it Long after it has left. Charlene Metzger, 2003
I miss you... I miss our talks, Been cut in half. I miss your voice. The way you laugh. I miss your smile, Your caring ways. The way you'd rile, My mental haze. I feel I've lost you, But to tell the truth I never had you, What did I do? But I don't blame you, When you're not here. I'm so damn selfish, To want you near. I just can't take it, Been torn in two. Don't want to hear That we are through. I miss you... Charlene Metzger, 2003
Hold me in the night, Never let me go. Please don't turn your back, Let your feelings show. Tell me that you dream, Of me when I'm not there. Don't leave me to wonder, If you really care. Tears me up inside, When you are far away. Whisper in my ear, That you want me to stay. Charlene Metzger, 2003
In the Midst of the storm, I saw daylight shimmer, high above the swaying trees. The rain hit my face, drenching my body, but at the same time, refreshing my soul. When Darkness calls, I still see light with the twinkling stars I find my way. When all is cold, I seek warmth, and find it in your loving arms. Despair hits, and my mind is tormented, unclear and quite confused. But no matter what I always find, my way back home to you. You're my shining star, my shimmer of light, my refreshing rain, and my undying warmth... Charlene Metzger 2003
