To Catch Me When I Fall

Love is a tricky thing

Something I’d rather avoid

Regardless of what’s to come

 

Society says you must

You says to try

My heart whispers yes

 

Logic argues that I don’t have time

I can’t keep my life together

So what’s the point

 

But romance yells back

About dreams

About unknown happiness

 

Does the reward out way the risk

Will it be worth it

Who knows till it’s over

 

I think I might

But only if you promise

And I Call Into the Darkeness.

Stepping out into the single digit world

Where the air begins to bite

And a crisp silence falls

 

Snow crunching underneath

Hiding deadly black ice

Slink with a burning cold

 

A lone owl calls in the distance

For a lover in the night

His feathers crusty with frost

 

Just the two of us in this frozen eve

Both so alone

Yet we have each other

 

Strength bubbles up

Breaking through the bitter flakes

And warms the soul

 

 

The Hero Generation

Life has its peaks and lows

Look into the past and see

Now we quickly fall to the bottom

 

We bare the weight of the past

As we push to succeed

All eyes on us

 

Seventeen trillion sorrows sit

Ready to be slain

They hand us their swords

 

What is around the corner

For we are the last of our kind

Now it is do or die

 

Take up arms

Against our parents’ follies

 

And I lose my reason to cry

Love, Anger, Hate,

These I can feel

With these I can processe

 

But this silence

As if everything as stopped

What do I do with it

 

It washes over me

And reduces me to tears

You caused it

 

Everything that made me

Is now gone

You were the first to leave

 

Now nothing is left

But the silence

So cold and empty

 

Now I search for something

To fill the void

And it works

 

Movies and book

A few candles

And something sweet

 

A good friend

A quite night

 

 

A Boy and A Girl

She never meant to cause him pain

He never meant to fall in love

For her it was a summer fling

For him the chance of a life time

 

She was fine with flirting then moving on

He had his heart set on her

All his dreams did she fulfill

He couldn’t save any of hers

 

She never set goals for the future

While he planned theirs out forever

When she took flight she gave no thought

 Yet it killed him in a breath

 

Now he’s been with a girl or two

Always comparing them to her

They never understand

Why they couldn’t heal the hurt

 

He crosses her mind from time to time

But she never regrets a word

A tinge of guilt for the pain she caused

But she’s happy none the less

 

He’s still sweet for her

He doesn’t understand

They still talk from time to time

But it isn’t quite the same

 

 

Perhaps one day he’ll stop and think

Of the time they spent apart

And see that he’s grown stronger

Without her in his arms

 

Maybe one day she’ll stop and think

Of the time they spent together

Realize the good that came about

And promise to forget never

Drawn in the Sands of Time

It was cold

I didn’t see the end

Yet I was sure of myself

 

Now it’s over

And starting again

And I’m lost

 

This isn’t in my control

I’m climbing through life

Mildly aware of my strings

 

It pleases you to forgive and forget

Am I to accept this and move on

Or do I resume our conflict

 

Can both happen at once

With new history comes a new line

 

 

Step Back

I had given up

Accepted, embraced the silence

And you turned on a dime

As if the past never happened

 

It’s as if you cut

From the night you told

To this morning

Turning a blind eye

 

Did you see my perspective

Or were you persuaded

Did your heart change

What happened

 

Things won’t be the same

History rewritten

How do I fit in
