Her Love (08.08.08)

The smile
On her face
Told you
To wait awhile
Before you
Came back
To her

Her deep breaths
Sounded like
An ocean’s current
That is
Slowly eroding
The beach,
Her chest rose
And fell softly
As she moved
With passion
For her love

Her love
Was greater
Than any
Could imagine
And yet
It wasn’t perfect
And she
Couldn’t change
The fact
That her love
Is gone

The smile
On her face
Disappears into
The night
As her love
Walks away
From her

Her love
Is forcing her
To change
All that
She lives for
In her life

All The Problems (19.08.08)

I’m running
From all
The problems
In this world
I look back
And see
The problems
Are chasing me

I run
Even faster
To try to
Get away
But they
Catch me

Its torture
And it’s painful
But it’s life
We just
Gotta learn
To live it

I’m troubled
By all
The problems
In the world
And how
We don’t
Want to
Solve them

All the problems
In the world
Are none
Of my problems

Always Fighting (15.08.08)

Here we go again
At each other’s throats
As we fight
Over nothing
As usual

We are
Always fighting
And swearing now
When we see
Each other
After we broke up

Even though
We were together
For so long
We were
Always fighting
Over trivial matters

We both
Had to break
The love off
Before one of us
Accidentally died
From the barbs
Traded between us

Whether
It was words,
Actions, thoughts
Or feelings
Every day
And every night
We could
We were
Always fighting

American Giants (17.08.08)

Without love
We wouldn’t be
Great American giants

We rule
The world
With an
Iron fist
And yet
We live
In fear
Of terrorists

We have
Our own problems
But we try
To help
Others instead
Of ourselves

We are
Great American giants
We try
To be nice
But sometimes
The kiddy gloves
Have to
Come off

We are
The people
Of great girth
But we are
Of great strength
And perseverance
As our
Great lady
Stands tall

Breed Deception (15.08.08)

Hang up your clothes, no need to cry.
I’ll take you home, I’ll be alright.
Tonight means nothing if any way.

Staying here will only breed deception, and I’m already deceived.
If everything you see is depressing, then I’m already depressed.
Careful girl - this is only your song, and it will be for very long.

Before too long, a love learned; to stand downwind and watch it turn,
To the lake, remember all of yesterday.

I’ll take you home, I’ll be alright.
Tonight means nothing if any way.
The days mean everything.

Staying here will only breed deception, and I’m already deceived.
If everything you see is depressing, then I’m already depressed.
Careful girl - this is only your song, and it will be for very long.

Had you ever thought of letting up?
Under covers, never showing up?

Tonight means nothing if any way.
The days mean everything.

Before too long, a love learned; to stand downwind and watch it turn,
To the lake, remember all of yesterday.

Had you ever thought of letting up?
Under covers, never showing up?

Every Step She Takes (He Breaks) (08.08.08)

Every step
She takes
Away from him
He breaks down
And starts to cry
As he knows
He can’t follow her
‘Cause he doesn’t know
Where she’s heading
But he knows
She’s heading away
From him

Every step
She takes
Is another
Painful memory relived
Too soon
He smiles
At the world
But on
The inside
He’s breaking up
And torturing himself
As he knows
Every step
She takes
Is a step
Away from him

He tries
To sleep
Without thinking
Of you
But it’s
Just too hard
As he is pained
By every step
She takes

Every step
She takes
Pains him
A little more
Every time
He breaks down
And cries
For you

Every Time I Go (02.08.08)

I start thinking
Of myself
Every time I go
To sleep

Every time I go
Back home
Without you
I see
How far
I’ve come

Every time I go
I start
To cry
When I see
The picture
I have
Of you

Every time I go
I leave
You behind
With the
Front door
At my back

I won’t
Turn back
Every time I go
And leave
The world behind

Every time I go
I leave
The past behind
And head
For the future
