SOLITARY

We’re all shadows here.

Cast by the light

Of the inglorious sun,

Transposed from pillars

Of copper and stone.

If I step towards the light

I might disappear,

So I don’t move an inch

I’m suspended in fear.

The darkness is my haven

Where I can feel free

But in so, it’s my cage

A prison of me.

EVERY STORM RUNS OUT OF RAIN

Are you feeling insignificant?
Do you think that no one cares?
Are you trying to throw your life away
Because you think it isn’t fair?
I understand your resentment
To a world not made for you
But if you waste it being angry
You’ll miss the good things too.
I’ve tried to tell you, tried to say,
You mean the world to me.
My oldest friend, you’re in my soul
Is that something you can’t see?
To watch this constant hurricane
Devour all your days,
Puts me in a standstill
Not knowing what to say.
I have no wisdom for you
I have no sagely advice
I don’t have any answers,
Solutions for a better life.
What I have is friendship
To ease your swelling doubts
Every storm runs out of rain,
Friends help blow away the clouds.

KNOWING IS HALF THE BATTLE

You look at me like you know.
Someone else has done that before.
But with you there's sincerity,
In your words there's more clarity,
In your actions kinder thoughts.
Why can't my heart accept
What my brain already knows?
You aren't him.

It's hard to open the door
That I was so adamant to lock.
It's hard to give my love away
When love's so easily lost.
But you know about this heartache,
Dying slowly just for love's sake,
Until it feels like nothing's left.
I want you to see I'll protect your heart,
So I look at you like I know.
