for Blair
Sept 2000
The first
friend I've found in a world full of strangers
A safety
net here, among all the dangers
Tthe
first to show kindness among the confusion
One who
stays solid amid the diffusion
A
beautiful ilght that shines through the dark
With the
voice of an angel thats straight on the mark
A spark
of beauty that lightens my eye
With a
tone in her voice that makes my heart fly
With
command over me I could hear through the roar
I want to
believe that with you I could soar
I want to
know just what it would take
I'm more
than willing to put my heart at stake
Love for
right now is a good thing indeed
But
true
love forever is just what I need
for Blair

Sometimes i
feel alone
Waiting for
someone to pull
Me down from
the skies
Once again,
i'm lost in your eyes
Why don't
you pull me down
From this
heaven i'm in
I don't
belong
I'm stuck in
this heaven called you
All i can
see are blue skies
All i can
see are your eyes
And once
again, i'm lost in your eyes
Pull me down
from this heaven i'm in
I don't
belong
I'm stuck in this heaven called you
June 2002
a boy came to
your house
a boy came to
ask you out
you shut the
door on his face
you didn't see
his disgrace
he just wanted
to say
he liked you
he just wanted
to hear
you liked him
too
why'd you go
and shut the door
you'd never
even been there before
a boy came to
ask you out
a great guy
without a doubt
this time
around you didn't say no
you said
alright, i'll give it a go
he just wanted
to say
he liked you
he just wanted
to hear
you liked him
too
he just wanted
to know
what was in
store
he just wanted
to know
how to open
the door
a time came,
he had to go
it had been
rough for a while or so
you said go
on, get outta here
he said
alright, goodbye
i just wanted
to know
i've missed you
i just want to
hear you missed me too
i'm all right
how are you?
it's been a
while since i knew
August 2002

now and again
just to prove
that i'm your
friend

i'll see you in
september
i went away to
work
went away to
dream
i went away to
chill
and blow off
some steam
i sit in the
mountains
and dream of the
fountains
i sit in the
desert
and dream to fix
your hurt
soon i'll be home
i hope you can
remember
to stay cool
and i'll see you
in september
been gone, gone
away
i've been gone
but i don't want
to stay that way
i'll call you up
now and again
just to prove
that i'm your
friend
i miss you now
want you forever
stay cool
i'll see you in
september
sitting in the
cool
fresh mountain
air
i think of home
and wish i were
there
at home with my
friends
and the ones who
love me
a place where i
can
comfortable
be
Nov 2002
I walk by and wonder what they can
The rain falls down to the ground
Don't make no sound
Water falls from inside of me,
into blue
Something closer to you
Water falls from me to blue
Something closer to you
Water falls from me to blue
Something closer to you
The river flows to the sea
It runs away from me
The ocean is vast
It runs from shore to shore
Looks like even more
Water falls from inside of me,
into you
Something closer to blue
Water falls from me to you
Something closer to blue
Water falls from me to you
Something closer to blue
The snow falls down cold as ice
Don't it look nice
Foggy nights make it hard to see
Can you see me
The river flows to the sea
It runs away from me
The river flows into blue
Its running to you
for Liz
Nov 2003
Yesterday was just the day before
happiness
feels so long ago
a friend
forgotten
who no
longer calls
a
shapeless form
a face
without features
But wasn't it just yesterday
looking
into her eyes
that i
saw this old friend
peek
around the corner
and wave
a short hello
but gone
again
as soon
as she leaves
Come and go
ebb and
flow
what
does it all mean
this
fleeting vision of happiness
a feeling remembered only from long
ago
deciding what
I should do or not
drowning in a
well of my own
falling like a
ton of bricks
tunnels of
sorrow
burrow into my
soul
the feeling of
laughter
was so long ago
for Liz
where do we go
running to and
fro
where do we go
when we don't
know
i don't know
where i am
i don't know
where i'm coming from
i don't know
where i'm going to
please tell me
if you do
a beauty
surrounds me
sometimes it's
so hard to see
i don't want
to be blind to it
please help me
to see
my head won't
turn off
it's always
running around
i can't stop
thinking of your face
and of its
grace
pictures of
you traipse through my head
as i'm laying
awake in my bed
what do you
think about when you are
alone in your
room
outside the
sun is shining
in here i'm
always dying
i don't want
to die alone
please come be
with me
alone again as
always
your face
floats by on the air
your voice
keeps telling me i just
can't come
there
and after all
that's happened
after feeling
turned upside down
i've made up
my mind after all
I'll still be there for you
I’ve waited for so long to
Find someone to talk to
Thank god that I found you and our
Late night conversations
Late night friends
Late night conversations
I hope this never ends
Not knowing where to go for love
I found someone to trust
Even though it’s hard for me to do
Turn to her, I know I must
I talk to you about everything
Except for my feelings for you
I think I’ve fallen in love
Now what am I to do?
Every time I hold you in my arms
I just don’t want to leave
Every time I see your face
It fills my heart with glee
Late night conversations
We’re late night friends
Late night conversations
I hope these feelings never end
Through common friends we met each other
Now our friendship is unique
I can’t explain how much I need you
I only hope that you need me
I fall asleep lying next to you
As the sun is rising
When I awake I thank god that you’re still here
This is so surprising
Oh what am I supposed to do
The days remaining are so few
I see the future calling to me
But all I want is to be with you
Late night conversations
We’re late night friends
Late night conversation
I hope this never ends
For them
March 2004
“This makes twice
though
Twice that you
made me cry”
Twice that my
heart
Has fallen from
high
Twice that I
thought I had something
Twice that I found
I had nothing
Two times I
stepped out on the limb
Two times it
snapped and down with it I went
Two times I
stepped up to the plate
Two times I swung
just a little too late
Two times I
thought I found where I was
“I've been lost
from the beginning
So still being
lost really isn’t a change”
How many times
does this have to happen
How many times
must I pick myself up
How many times can
I take the refusal
How many times can
I keep waking up
To a world that is
harsh
And just isn’t
willing
To give me a
chance
And isn’t
fulfilling
Only one out left
And I’m still the
batter
Two strike outs
before
Hope one’s not the
latter
For if the inning
ends
With a K for the
pitcher
I may just retire
But nobody likes a
quiter
