ARE WE ALONE

are we really alone
in the dark
does anyone truly
know what we store
in our hearts.
does any man have the
gift to tell
what life we lead
and do we live it well.
are we alone
in our dreams
is everything truly
as it seems.

MISS YOU

miss u more than you can know
we never got the chance
to try and grow
from children's
moments in the past
guess we knew that
our love
wouldn't last.
here i sit
and think of you
truth is
what am i supposed to do?

IN THE DARK

what can u see in the dark
can u see what's really inside my
heart?
can u guess how alone
i feel
when i say that
i love you
is it true or nil.
in the dark silently
i stand
and calmly wait 4 you
to take my hand.

THE GOOD OLD DAYZ

what happened to
the good old dayzs
or is it me
that has really changed.
what happened to
life's simple things
or am i just wasting time
chasing the brass ring.
what happened to
unfounded joy
or is that only
for little girls and little boys.
tell me,
what happened to
the good old dayzs
is it me
or has
everything changed?

TAKE HOLD

take hold of my hand
and walk with me
past the valleys
of your indecision
take hold of my hand
and explore with me
the hidden recesses
the true language
that is love.
take my soul
laid bare
and waiting
take hold my love
and never let me go!

it's been said
that true love
is hard to find
someone of like heart
and of like mind
someone more than
just a friend
someone on whom
you can depend
but tell me
why does it take
so long
is there a
happy ending
to my song?

DON'T KNOW MUCH

don't know what tomorrow
may bring
don't know much
of anything.
just like u
i'm tryin to find my way
keep my heart strong
-make it to
another day.
don't know how
i came this far
don't know if it was
decision or chance
don't know what tomorrow
may bring
don't really know much
of anything.

KNOW ME

if u didn't
know me
and passed me on
the street
would you turn
your head
or would you stop
and speak.
if u saw me
crying
would you come to
wipe my tears
or would you stand
paralyzed
overcome by all your
fears?

IF I

if i cry
will u cry
if i laugh
will u smile
if i take
will u give
if i die
will u live?

NEVER THOUGHT

never thought
that i would be in this place
invisible and
alone
feeling so
out of space.
never thought
i would forget
how to stream
tears from my eyes
'cause if the world
could see my heart
would anything
lie inside?

THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY

woke up ths morning
with an ache in my head
could it have been something
i did
or
maybe something
i said.
gazed out my window
saw birds at play
got down on my knees
and gave thanks
for another day.
just then
i saw
reflective sunlight
started my day
-said a prayer
that it would go
alright.

THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY

AND I STAY

tried to say good-bye
but i didn't have the
strength
to leave
my mind said go now
but my heart needed time
to yet grieve.
tried to walk away
from all that i had
ever known
but love could not be
fooled
love sometimes can be
so cruel
so i stay
and i stay
and i stay.

WONDER

wonder
what it would be like
to live in a
perfect world
love reign supreme
for every boy and girl.
wonder
what it would be like
if there were
no tears
life with eyes
wide open
no need to engage
in fear.
wonder
what it would be like
to catch all of
my dreams
...i wonder

SERIOUS

can we be serious
take time to reflect and not
trivialize this
because time is not
on our side
no matter how much
we may try
to give it our
best shot
if we succeed
or if not
just know that you did
your best
let go of
ego and stress
can we be serious?

PROMISE ME

promise me that you won't leave
let me be ALL that you ever want
or need.
promise me that there will never come
a day nor a time
that i am nowhere to be found in
your mind.
promise me your heart will never
grow cold
that your love will stay strong
as we grow old
promise me!
