"Broke Me"
When I saw you the other day,
When we passed along the way,
You knew me
And it blew me!
I didn't know if you remembered me
Or if the memory had begun blurring,
Just a face
Without any grace.
I thought you would have turned away
But for a only moment you did stay,
Spoke to me
And you broke me.

"Out of the Shadows"
Each time your love shines
I'm pulled further from
The shadows surrounding me
And the internal demon I've become.
Each time your mercy shines
I'm called further from
The bleakness shrouding me
And the misery that leaves me numb.
Each time your kindness shines
I'm drawn further from
The anger that taunts me
And I can see who I can become.

"Moment"
Lay your body beside me…
No words are needed
I know what you mean.
Hold me so closely…
Kiss me tenderly…
Everything will be alright,
My love, my life…
Joy awaits us patiently.
I'm the only one
Who can love you like this…
How can it be wrong?
Clinging tight together
We'll make it all a song,
Just a dance to the side…
My love, my life…
The game's already won.
I'll give a soft touch…
Whisper sweetness,
How I love you so much…
For a moment we'll forget
There's something of a crunch…
We can escape…
My love, my life…
How I love you so much.

"Wildfire"
Given the choice
I'd let this wildfire
Burn through to eternity
Just to see if its flames
Would burn clear and true
Past ages and stars.
Do the flames give voice
To the deepest of desires,
That simmer and sear me?
Could they be tamed
By awesome love true
Or would they cause scars?
But I am already scarred
By things that were cruel…
In their rage they lame,
Break, and make bleed
My very heart that fires
With wanting your notice.
I would cast them afar—
Give you honest fuel
To help feed my flame
If you would stay with me
To see if my wildfire
Could burn on endless.

There is no cure that I can perceive
To automatically tear me away
From a relationship meant to deceive.
The lies you told me in that day,
You shall in turn hatefully receive
Even if I may be the one at fault
For foolishly grabbing the first
That came along and not bolting
When things seemed like they would burst.
Ah, the friends and gods I did consult,
Struggling like fish on ground,
Begging for understanding in mind...
But these things could not be found
While you still held me in your binds--
Now, I am loose, of that I can be proud!
Still I yearn for what was there,
Wondering what it could be again...
Would a rejoining only mean despair?
Will I once more turn to find other men
While you look away without a care?
Then again, did who we became
Need to be set to light anyway?
Should the spark have been tamed
And the shutters closed it away
Before the fire began to flame?
