The girl who used to cry
Still does
The girl who believed in love
Still believes
The girl who danced no matter the weather
Still dances
She is taller
Has grown
Into her skin
There was a girl
Who traveled
A thousand miles
Each night
She still searches
Still hopes
Still dreams
-
Clinking chains
With clogging drains
Rearranging picture frames
My home lies inside
My toes and hand and words
They go where I go
Unsteady fate
Ready for anything
Except that one man
I never knew what was coming
But he started a fire
Within me
A sense of self
Only willing to give my love
To those who
Are worth the fall
-
And when the weather whimpers
The sun produce rain
Stars clogging up the drain
A heartbreak from another time
Singing to a well-worn line
My fingers' memory has it trace
The knowing lines of a tired face
Recalling heartbreak from a forgotten place
And when you’re near, you bring me back
Beyond the womb and days of black
Your touch completes what time will lack
Oh the peace I found in your eye
Knowing love will never die
They say it’s impossible,
I say they lie
-
If you are not here to see through skin
I’m afraid I cannot let you in
If you are not here with hope for humanity
If you can’t love yourself or my certain insanity
If your shallow intentions are all you bestow
I’ll save you the time and wont watch you go
If you cannot look the world in the eye
If you have never loved and cannot cry
I’ll be honest sir, I’d rather die
If the sun sets along with your fire
If you cannot handle all my desire
I only want you if you can take me higher
If your game is obviously a sham
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn

To the cellar door
Where he kept us before
The hollow path of repetitive survival
Empowerment reigns the heart's revival
The white horse has thrown
Another lost soul
It waits in the stable
While we take the toll
To unravel our hairs
We’re thrown down the stairs
Dragged to their lairs
Trusted by true
Choked until blue
Blood remains silent
Who will save the violent?
We’re torn away
Until another day
Questions continually asked
Bruises continually masked
Reality is finally shown
Answers are never known
Fallen feathers are slowly collected
Giving flight to all once neglected
-
The enemy’s glitter burns our eyes
We look to the mirror, look to the skies
How long we’ve swam in this sea of lies
The smell of burning tires
The memory of beautiful liars
The familiar edge of sun’s sanity
Falling back into a lost vanity
Each second rotates into a new direction
Suffocated by this new rejection
I keep staring at this new reflection
I look in the mirror –
Who’s standing there?
-
In troubled times, I bow my head
I make peace with all that I’ve said
They call it waves, rain or thunder
Why define it at all?
I have to wonder.
-
I am still in love, in lust, at peace
I have my silence, that’s something at least
When I awake – I shall certainly feast
But until then I barely exist
Except sharp blue eyes
And a barely raised fist
