| Thoughts Give me a moment To collect my thougts They are scattered Over a century They were a million miles Away from this point At the moment That you startled me And I lost a few Travelling the milky way And gained some new On a distant shore Give me a moment While I store them away Someday they'll be useful I just don't know what for |
| Memories Like the sinking of the sun Brighter than the day More beautiful to see Lasting only a second Then it's gone All you have left Is a memory |

| Mysterious I like you better blonde When I don�t know you so well I like you better mysterious When you have secrets to tell I like you better when I�m lonely And not so quick to judge I like life better alone it seems With only my pillow to hug I like life better alone The more alone that I am I like to bask in the silence Because silence is a friend It never yells back when I�m angry It is never something I had So I can never lose it So how could silence be bad |
| Nightly Trains I used to listen nightly To trains chugging past When I lay safe in bed Under light covers But now out my window There are no whistles No rhythmic click-clack No trains at all It is a different window The trains are far away And I miss them |

| Background Whispers Moments that whisper �moving on�, Putting old toys in a box, Getting my own keys to the car, Furniture saved in the garage, Visiting a city far from here, All these quiet whispers say, Leaving home is not far away. |

| Tornado Girl Girl, you are a storm You fly about in a rage More destrustive than than the wind Swirled into a tornado The trees could not withstand you The oceans would cower from you Doors are closed against you And still you bang at the window You sneak through crevices To get into the corners No one is safe from you When you are in a rage |

| At A Table Nearby She took her place Gingerly sat at a table With three empty chairs Out of four She pulled her sweater around her Clasping her hands in front She hunched over the bookbag Settled at her feet Smoothed her hair Eyebrows slightly up The corners of her mouth down Scratched absentmindedly At an old mosquito bite Her eyes focus Somewhere down the hall Her face brightens And she rises Leaving the empty table To meet the friend For whom she waited |
|
| The Forest Dream I was dreaming of a forest Left to grow tall and intertwined I was trapped there In the very centre In a courtyard by myself Very lonely for so very long In this lush, menacing forest I dreamt that a butterfly Had found me there And when it flew past Its gentle wings brushed Against my rosy lips It was then the dream ended I suddenly awoke And now an unknown boy Is shyly standing near There is no one else around So I ask him his name |
|
| All I Want All I want Is someone to tell me I'll be there when you wake And don't worry About anything You can't make a mistake with me All I want Is one more chance To wrap my arms around your neck And then we'll see Where we can go with it But all I want Is for someone to say They'll be there And all I dream of Is those words whispered in my hair All I want is so far off So far away All I want is to have it someday |
| Where You Are Right now Home is where you are Seems that Gets furthur every day I hope That time will not change you But time Never works that way It's clear Angels surround you And I know I want to be here But although It's a long way to heaven I know that Your heart keeps me near |
