Aftermath

Sifting through the aftermath
the loneliness returned
Searching deep within my heart
where once a fire burned...

Questions come like ocean waves
they lash the tattered shore
Dreams of reaching paradise
don't matter any more...

I don't know how to deal with this
it all was once so clear
Am I supposed to just pretend
that you were never here?

Sweetest Dream

Awakened by the morning sun

the curtains pulled away

The sweetest dream I've had in years

and smiles to greet my day...

I dream't that I was back in school

my friends were all still there

The simple life we knew and loved

and not a single care...

Walking down the corridors

the ringing of the bell

The chair I sat in History

and Mrs. Jane Kanell...

Caroline was beautiful

I liked her very much

The day she checked the little box

my heart I felt her touch...

William never said alot

he put things on the shelf

Lisa always raised her hand

she couldn't help herself...

Recess was the great escape

a chance to stretch our wings

Every day our little group

would share so many things...

My oh my those were the days

how quickly time passed by 

And then one day we raised our hand 

and said our last goodbye...

Timing

Thinking about you

and what we could be

The timing's not right

for you and for me...

Searching

I'm searching for words

a poem that rhymes

A breeze that will blow

and sing through the chimes...

Loving You

Life in the fast lane

these feelings so strong

Playing my music

but can't sing a song...

Swimming in circles

while fighting the waves

All my best efforts

I'm lost in the haze...

Searching for answers

I haven't a clue

How do we get there?

I'm so loving you...

Hardest Part

Been thinking bout you all day long

I sure do miss your smile

I can't believe how long it's been

it's really been a while...

My oh my the memories come

how often I have sighed

You stole my heart with just a glance

and when you left I cried...

I know you write from time to time

It's just not quite the same

The hardest part in all of this

that now you share his name...

In Love

I'm quickly falling so in love

my focus is a mess

The world that I was living in

has changed I must confess...

All these thoughts within my mind

they each point straight to you

A force that grows within my soul

and now I'm changing too...

All

When dreams become reality

and tears no longer fall

When all that matters comes to you

you truly have it all...
