Heartstrings: December 2015

Your Name

Sometimes a whisper of your name

will fall from off my lips...

A sadness then comes over me

and oh, how hard it grips...

Another Day

I want to tell you

but I can't...

I want to hold you

but I won't....

Another day goes by....Another day.....

Happy New Year

Another year is almost gone

the new one's at the door

I hope that what awaits you there

is all you're hoping for...

Here's to you my faithful friend

to dreams that never die

For rainbows after every storm

and clear blue sunny skies...

Hoist your sails into the wind

and sail to paradise

Explore the beauty of this world

and never compromise...

I lift my glass and drink to you

and wish you all the best

I'll think about you all year long

and pray your days are blessed...

I Wish

I wish that I could speak my mind

and bare my soul to you

To share these feelings in my heart

and hear the same things too...

I wish that I could kiss your lips

to hold you in my arms

To whisper sweet things all night long

and bask within your charms...

I wish that I could marry you

to give you children too

To walk beside you all my life

I'm so in love with you...

Foolish Soul

A lifetime isn't long enough

to help us understand

The depths of our humanity

our purpose and the plan...

Sometimes we stand on mountain tops

sometimes we hide in caves

We boast about mortality

while walking upon graves...

Oh foolish soul that never learns

your fate is at the door

Your candle flickers while you beg

for just for a moment more...

If Only

You'll never know just how I feel

what's hidden deep inside

The many times I've thought of you

and nights I lay and cried...

You'll never know what could have been

the life we could have shared

How much I would have given you

if only you had cared...

Someone To Hold Me

Been thinking that I'll take a ride

and leave it all behind

To start another life somewhere

and find some peace of mind...

Perhaps a hundred miles or so

will make it all alright

Or maybe I'll just press ahead

and drive all through the night

I'm praying I will find a place

where hopes and dreams come true

Someone to hold me all night long

and say they love me too...

From Here To There

So many questions fill my mind

and answers not in sight

How do I get from here to there?

I have to get this right...

My heart is running after you

I can't let others see

Weighing possibilities

what life with you might be...

Some days I want to speak my mind

and bare to you my soul

But then I catch myself in time

before I lose control...

I just can't take a chance on love
or that you might say no
I'd rather keep my heart in check
than have to see you go...

Day by Day

Day by day I get along

not much to what I do

Finding joy in little things

sometimes a drink or two...

Trying hard to not look back

and open up that door

Better that it stays that way

than letting raindrops pour...

Missing You Tonight

I think of what we could have been

if we had tried some more

We made it far too easy Love

to walk out through that door...

I know we both made big mistakes

and couldn't make them right

This loneliness is killing me

I'm missing you tonight...

Waiting

It's hard to put it all in words

just how I feel inside

Safe behind the hidden veil

my hopes and dreams abide...

I'm holding on with all my strength

believing it's all true

Waiting ever patiently

for me to be with you...

Sometimes

Sometimes I drift away in thought

as memories drop on by

Sorted moments trapped in time

some how they still survive...

Sometimes they make me laugh out loud

the days of rock and roll

Then other times I weep inside

a longing in my soul...

Sometimes I smile and look above

and shed a little tear

For all the ones who touched my life

and those no longer here...

Hidden

It's hidden deep within my heart

where no one else can see

An ever growing loneliness

that always walks with me...

A sadness that consumes my soul

I try my best to hide

The candle that burned bright in life

extinguished when you died...

In Love

In the stillness of the night

my mind begins to race

Thoughts of you begin to form

and soon a quickened pace...

Sorting possibilities

and where we go from here

Daring not to look to far

restrained by budding fear...

Fallen so in love with you

I know it's all so true

My heart began to smile inside

the moment I saw you...

I Tried

I tried my best to reach for you

had hoped for so much more

I would have made you happy Love

instead you closed the door...

I know there was a moment there

I felt it in my soul

Your heart was racing fast for me

your head then took control...

So long my Dear, I wish you well

I hope your dreams come true

I would have given anything

to share my life with you...

My Rainbow

When all the storms have passed me by

and as I look to you

You're still the rainbow in my sky

the one that loves me too...

Still in Love

A thousand times I've thought of you

when memories walked on by

The many times you made me laugh

and days you made me cry...

How is that you still appear

and touch me like you do?

I can't outrun this loneliness

I'm still in love with you...
