If you've ever looked longing at the sky,
found yourself praying asking God why.
life is rough and love is so cruel,
or found yourself cold for breaking the rules.
Have you ever screamed at silence for a haunting  lonely bed,
looked for love but found unhappiness instead.
If you've ever felt alone and you're pillow your only friend,
or wondered if you could make it till the end.
If you've ever cried yourself into a comfortable sleep,
and all you wanted to do was personally weep.
Than you've also seen love and what it can do,
is the one thing we can do right me and you?


When two hearts meet for the first time
something can happen they can cross a line
Some go there own ways with an angonizing pain
some hang around and drive themselves insane
Some begin to stir
and then there is a spark
and that's when you know a new love can start
Some people find this easily and some not at all
but there's nothing like a love when your heart starts to fall
When you can't find a breath to express how you feel
that's how you know your love is real
My heart came along side yours in a random sort of way
but I haven't looked back since that first day
Now I can see you clearly
I see the twinkle in your eyes
You are my one and only my angel in disguise


When the sun goes down over my heart
I creep out of myself to make a new start
I dont know where this path leads
But its got to better than here
How much better I'd be if you were near
But I will wonder alone in my quest to find fate
As I try to leave behind the things I've grown to hate


There was a time when I thought I was alone
my only friend a lonely poem
no loving embraces welcomed me home.
Now I am happier
I wonder if you can tell,
I've come out in the open
disposed of my shell.
It's because of friends like you
that make me smile,
which forces me to go that extra mile.
To wake up in the afternoon
and rub my eyes
as I look forward to a real friends company
that wears no disguise.
You make me smile
I'd write you anything,
even if it only a fake fling.


If I gave you a hug,
would you offer a kiss
If I offered my frienship
could we add a twis
If I laughed out loud
would you in return smile
Could I perhaps
hold you for just a short while
Could I sweep you off your feet
with a silly rhyme
or dance with you until closing time
Could I revive your spirit
catch your heart
or would we simply fall apart

I don't know the future
I am not that wise
I am just one of those crazy fun guys
But I'd offer you the world
if only I could reach
I would propose in real life
with a short lovely speech
I'd send you flowers for every sunset
I may not be much but I'll get there yet
So don't label me as a friend or even thee lover
and do not dismiss my need to be together.

Who knows where we may go
where this road may lead
but I'm willing to take the first step
at a slow but steady speed
So no matter what may come
of this appreciated friend
know that these are well wishes I'm trying to send
Just smile for now
and take a look forward
So just know I notice you more than you think
I'll leave you now with this little wink


Something simple, sweet and sincere
is all people care to hear.
Not the truth , not the past
not how long thier future will last
It's in this cave in which I climb
to hibernate safely for all of time
Deep in myself deep in denial
walking alone while running the mile
So save yourself from all the pain
discard love which makes you insane
Be yourself and hide from lust
and only show feelings if you must


"Through hell or high water"  thats what they say
but thats what it seems like everyday.
Fate is funny but not always fair,
why does it bother me,
why should I care?
If there is a reason for love,
I havent found it yet,
is this as good as it is going to get?
No light at the end,
no body in my bed,
just a bare wall and a pillow instead.
"Things will get better" thats what they say,
but I'm tired of the darkness of this neverending day.


I awaken to you running your fingers through my hair
the first thing I sense is how much you care
What would I be without you by my side
you are connected to me from the inside
I can't tell the future
I'm a rather simple man
trying hard to maintain and do what I can
I'll make mistakes that I'll grow to regret
but I'll be a good man
dont give up on me yet.
I offer you my love
and I'll bring a smile to you face
and that is what everyone is trying to chase
I'll make you happier than you could have dreamed
for once I'm everything that I seem.
There are no lies in my conversation
no hesitationIn my eyes
a relationship with ... no goodbyes.


Can you hear the angels working, as they take away your sorrow
fighting the devils will and striving for tomorrow
The angles nurse the pain, while trying to make you smile
some take away doubt, others cure denial.
Its a fight for your salvation, your virtues and your soul
a shoving match in which you change destinys pull
So love who you can, Obey who you must
Give your life to someone and to God always trust
For you are here for a reason its part of the great plan
You will make mistakes as will every petty man.
Ask for His mercy and He shall grant forgiveness
He shall hold you in his arms and lovingly bless us
Worship Him outloud and always praise His name
For He is your Father who stood and took the blame
He Sacrificed himself for you, so you could love another day
So to Him we give our thanks, in Gods name we pray.

ALL I AM

I am the messenger of sorrow, the source of all your pain,
a prime example of how people try to change.
I am the one that stands alone and isn't what he seems,
full of desperation and keeper of broken dreams.
I am the man that leads foolishly from the heart and not the brain,
the jailer of demons that drive me quite insane.
I am the Hope that gets taken for granted, the man without a home,
The unknown king who refused to retrieve a throne.
I am every man who has his fits of rage,
I am every convict that rots in his cage.
I am the fulfiller of peoples requests, a salesman of sorts,
I am the drug you use so your reality distorts.
I am the wall you hide behind on your quest to avoid fate,
the only one that loves you, I'm the receiver of your hate.
I am the shoulder you lean on to keep you straight and tall,
I am the spirit that lifts you, when you confidence disolves.
I am the holder of your secrets, I help set you free,
I am the ship that carries you as you venture across the seas.
I am not special, I'm just a simple man,
and with all this on my shoulders, I do all I can..


Sometimes we all hold our heads just above the water trying to catch a breath
Sometimes we all wish we could let go and just sink
Some of us never have the chance to choose one way or the other;
but if you don't try to take the next breath
you will surely drown anyways
you'll always know you took that chance to breathe again.

SETTING YOU FREE

As I leave behind the stubborness that controls my pride
The dreams that haunt me slowly subside.
Making way for joy and the laughter that it chases
my mind and heart heal as i forget what I've wasted
Things cannot be taken back, there's pain I can't forget.
Too many times we were angry, too many jealous fits
I've quit torturing myself and trying to figure out why
things happened like they did, and the things left unsaid.
We fell out of love many times but it only took the first
to bruise what we once had and cast the fatal curse
So carry on with your life, dont wonder where I may be
Cause the one thing I dont regret, Is setting you free
