Lasting

summer daydreams
wishing waiting
your eyes meeting
mine
leaves are turning
softly falling
find it all in
time
winter snowfall
snowball throwing
spirit glowing
shine
flowers growing
stretching flowing
reaching towards the
pines

Demon

You're a demon in disguise
You have darkness that you hide
Your evil side hides inside
those golden angel eyes

God Knows Why

I had a dream
I told a thousand stories
wrote a thousand books
I danced around
in the summer glory
earned a hundred looks
Yesterday you asked me a few questions
I didn't say the truth
You told me to go read the Bible
but I'm only on page two
You think you can fix it with a smile
I want it to be over
I want it to be done
I want to end the pain
Don't let my heart grow numb
I want to scream
I want to cry
I want to laugh
God knows why
I had a thought
I knew a thousand reasons
put them all to use
I walked around
in the autumn season
I could never lose
But today I feel like something's missing
I don't know what to do
I don't have a thousand stories
I only have a few
I want it to be over
I want it to be done
I want to end the pain
Don't let my heart grow numb
I want to scream
I want to cry
I want to laugh
Only God knows why

Hidden Scars

shining lights
fill the night
my mind is floating
hills softly glowing
so far away
the houses lay
on the mountain
see them dancing
you have scars
no one sees
hidden beneath
your sleeve
like the stars
in the sky
heart is broken
unlike mine
broken heart
torn apart
your mind still golden
those chestnut eyes
so much they hide
first star I see
who will I be?
you have scars
no one sees
hidden beneath
your sleeve
like the stars
in the sky
heart is broken
unlike mine
my world is filled with falling stars
that rain down to the darkest parts
fill the night with glowing embers
and the smell of sweet summer
you have scars
no one sees
hidden beneath
your sleeve
like the stars
in the sky
heart is broken
still you shine

Waiting for a Shooting Star

I'm waiting for a shooting star
to come and fix my broken heart
to sweep me off to somewhere far
but falling rocks don't fix hearts
I'm waiting for stars to appear
to wish away my deepest fears
but the universe is nowhere near
and fears don't disappear
I'll sit here writing poems
till the sunlight is hours gone
I'm waiting for a shooting star
to come and fix my broken heart
dark as night, you're on my mind
everywhere I look, you're what I find
falling rocks don't fix hearts

Search the Universe

I will search the universe
find nothing but stardust and ashes
sing my heart in every verse
stars fall with blinding flashes
I will search the universe
travel far and wide
lift up the world's hardest curse
that had us all tongue-tied
I need a star to guide me home
instead I'm sitting here alone
going wherever my life goes
I don't know
I've been waiting here for so long
the sadness goes on and on
trying to figure out where I went wrong
I was wrong
I will search the universe
find nothing but stardust and ashes
sing my heart in every verse
falling, my heart crashes

Summer Storm

Can we walk down that road just one more time?
Beautiful sunset, your hand in mine
But as the golden sunlight fades
the field is filled with darkened shades
Here comes the thunder, here comes the rain
this twisted circle is what's causing pain
Summer storm
Summer storm
you whisk me off my feet
your smile oh so sweet
your steady downpour falling
It's your name I'm calling
Summer storm
Summer storm
Well I'm up again, tonight, awake
Can't seem to sleep, for summer's sake
There's a storm outside my window
Do you hear the raging wind blow?
Shutting the blinds I close my eyes
Will I ever stop believing my lies?
Summer storm
Summer storm
you whisk me off my feet
your smile oh so sweet
Summer storm
Summer storm
well it was fun
walking along that street
yeah it was great
seeing your smile
so sweet.
and it's not done
but as I look back
I see all the joy that I lack
Summer storm
Summer storm
your steady downpour falling
again your name I'm calling
Summer storm
Summer storm
smile bittersweet
your name I'm no longer calling
