A small smile
A simple look
All leave me breathless
A soft word
A light touch
All leave me wanting
What add things
To leave such an impression
Yet what beloved things
That become my whole world
What will be left behind
A faded memory or a forged legacy
Withered thoughts or praised wisdom
A forgotten face or a treasured photo
Will my name be remembered or lost for all of time
Will they say good-bye or not look back
Will I have meant anything or remained nothing
These are the questions that haunt me
These are the things I can not know
This is the reason I lose my self
This is the reason I go insane

You hold me here
Without relief
Forced to watch you with another
Knowing you belong to me alone
I see him caress you
I see you look away
You come to me
Again and again
Knowing our secret
Hiding our love
Cruelly you leave this earth
Leaving me without a soul
Take me with you
For I can not be without my soul
For without you
There is no life
Image via Wikipedia
I see you there
You run to me
I take your hand
As we rush off together
To the rocky hills
Our secret place lies
Day after day
We escape together
Only for another
To take my place
Not in heart
Only in name
Yet my gilded cage
Can not be erased

A golden glow
A soft breath
All caress your lover sweetly
Blanketed warmth
Sweetly cooled air
All consume your lover holy
With these sights
Your lover posses
All thought, every breath
For what good is life
Without a whisper of truth
And what is that truth
Not but your lovers sweet sigh
Oh how your lover consumes all

Can you see what has been
Can you hear what will be said
Do you know seconds before
Do you live a fearless life
Do you have a whole heart
Or is everything an empty nothingness
Until we join Gods song

A simple light
That pulls us in
An always present melody
A great faith
That brought us here
As we glow beneath its light
We sinful people
Do not deserve
Such a chance at redemptions hill
What a gift
Jesus has given
From flesh and blood
So take what I say
Put it to good use
And let God work in you

The insanity of life
The unnerving of death
We really have no clue
As to what the world really holds
The miss givings of strangers
The wonder of new life
We place these things as truths
But what do we really know
Do we assume at such things
Do we really ponder what is
For these things I ask
To see if you really care
So to you I leave these questions
For me I know the answer

Do you notice
Her haunted eyes
Her shaking hands
Do you notice
The bruises she hides
Her broken will
Do you notice
Her cry for help
Her whispered prayers
Do you notice
She stands alone
She talks to no one
Or do you notice
Everyone around her
As she move like a ghost
Do you see her
Do you ever care
Or do you just not notice she even exists

Blushing cheeks
Turned down eyes
Shy words
Shaking lips
You do this to me
And I don’t know how
I think I should run
But I can’t stay away
What lengthy torture
What simple bliss
Is this my life
Or is this a dream
