Turn your face
to the light
my child
and let me see the sun
surprise your lungs.
Tuck the doll
under your bed
and pray
for daddy's safe return.
Let mother find you
napping,
no one to disturb
the thickset press
of winter on your lashes
or the morning's
tiny sparrow
glowing on your cheeks.
Starry night above my head
twinkling down as I lay in my bed
Remembering thoughts of an evening clear
when we sang for stars to fall so near
As I laid closely next to you
I made a wish that soon came true
And though that night has gone away
I hope we'll be there again someday
We sang softly to the evenings glow
unsure then but now I know
A dream comes true for whoever calls
when you wish upon a star that falls
And though those days have been and gone
When my dreams shattered,
And I didn't know what was left
When the world I knew rejected me,
I dreamed.
I fell asleep on concrete sheets,
And rested on dirt pillows,
Under leafy dream catchers,
Floating in a green mattress.
I dreamed of the life I knew,
But wasn't strong enough to keep holding onto
The only reason I stayed for so long,
was you.
Now if I woke up,
Would I awake to tears,
Crying because you're not here
Because it was my decision to leave...
Not like the time I left for a year,
Then returned with smiles and new friends
But when my wish of dreaming forever,
And never waking up was granted.
Will I see you in my
Emotional that's how you feel
Right now I feel that nothings real
All alone in this place
All boxed up
Its like a cage
Rattled bones and teary eyes
There's no need to ever cry
Would you like a smile
Is that what you need
Well that make it better
Is that all you need
Only worth a dime
Yet so hard to find
Iv lost all hope in all my rhymes
Sometimes I hope for death
But I never get put to rest
But that's ok
Ill find my light
Even if it don't shine so bright

The Hope That Kept Me Alive
I thought you were here,
I thought you would stay by my side,
But It wasn't real,
Now I know I can't hide,
It was just an illusion I've created,
My own happy world, far away from the dark.
When the truth was right in front of me,
I lied to myself telling "this can't be".
I closed my eyes and wished for better,
I wiped my tears realizing this will come true somewhere near to never
But at the end of the dark tunnel, I've seen a light,
It was a drop of hope,
The hope that kept me alive.
Dream on,
Hanging by the thread of hope,
I've figured out that you're so gone.
Were you even there?
All this time I've been alone,
Holdin
Trying to cry,
But the tears won't flow,
Unless they're rolling into my pillow-
When I'm asleep,
But I'm awake-
So how long does a false dream take?...
There's a lock,
That has no key,
Somewhere,
Lost inside of me-
Putting a cap on the waters as they rage,
Though I want them to be free-
Trying to cry,
But the tears won't flow,
Unless they're rolling into my pillow-
When I'm asleep,
But I'm awake-
So how long does a false dream take?-
Sunshine,
Raining down,
Wasted on the ground,
Passing over me but I still feel cold-
There's no light where there should be,
Only pieces left of what was whole-
Cracks left to spread right
Who would have thought it would come to this?
anxiously waiting for a word, a touch, a kiss
Like a dog in heat, I sit and wait
for you to send word, a promise, a date
I know I should be looking around me to see
see if there is anybody better out there for me
But still I sit here all alone
While I wait for the master to throw me a bone
I hate this, this situation, this game
why was it, that for my heart, you had to aim?
You have my heart, my promise, my love
But apparently even that is not enough
you want more, and more again, it seems
You want my soul, my talent and my dreams
yet I sit here alone
While I wait for the master to
I knew it when I heard the sound
Like I never felt the ground.
I lie on this broken earth,
On top of this red surf.
I knew I shouldn't have let you down,
I knew it was just myself.
I was too hesitant to breathe the air,
Too wary of the centuries near here.
I thought I'd never let you down, my angel.
I didn't come back sound
With my mind wandering around... thinking only of you.
I knew it when I hit the ground.
I knew it when I heard your breath.
So solemn, so sweet; you stutter
As do I.
My heart beats, fluttering upon a dove's wings.
Come back, come back my love!
Come back unto thy earth.
Unto thy two feet, walk whole again.
I found the meaning of life.
It's hiding in late night drives,
On the lips of a first kiss.
It's in between the lines of a conversation
With an old friend,
It's the sun warming your face.
It's at the bottom of a coffee cup
On a rainy Sunday,
It's singing your heart out
It's crying on the floor.
It's ending a chapter
And starting all over.
It's forgetting the words
And remembering the feeling,
It's bare feet on cool grass
It's the silence of the snow fall.
It's about creating and building
Being able to laugh.
It's about standing in the rain,
Without worrying about your clothes.
It's about family,
Not just by blood.
It's

I can cry.
And wipe my own tears.
I can scream.
And lower my own voice.
I can listen.
And chose if I want to.
I can sigh.
And cover my own breath.
I can die.
And bury myself...
I can cry for hours to come.
Tear after tear.
Whimper out of neglect.
But no one comes to see me.
So I tug down on my sleeve.
And wipe my own tears.
I can scream loud and scary.
Only out of fear itself.
Only from my timid way.
Look down at you.
So I'll eventually see your reaction.
And lower my own voice.
I can listen to both good and bad.
Happy or depressed.
Bubbly or mad.
Etheir way I might just listen.
