The Fall

The horrible reality

of pain and alcohol

So many broken promises

and oh, how hard the fall...

Memories

How the memories come to me

they take me by the hand

The ocean breeze upon on my face

and beaches with white sand...

The cove that kept our secrets safe

our special hiding place

I felt so safe within your arms

your sweet and lovely face...

The Scar

Why is it that we struggle so

with who and what we are?

We wear a mask and try to hide

so no one sees the scar...

Hurting Friends

So many hurting friends today

they struggle to get by

Existing in a world of pain

that often makes them cry...

So far removed from where they were

they never could have known

That fate would take away their smiles

and leave them so alone...

They live in moments where they hope 

the hurting goes away

A brief and peaceful interlude

that keeps it all at bay...

Longing

Oh the longing in my heart

it never goes away

Unrelenting cries for you

that plead with me each day...

I Wish You Well

I'm going on a journey soon

I won't be back again

The time has come to settle things

and say good bye my friend...

I'd like to think that I'll live on

inside a memory

Perhaps a moment we both shared

will make you think of me...

I wish you well in everything

and that you'll find your way

The path to all your hopes and dreams

and laughter every day...

Flesh

Adopted in a world of flesh

and forced to often flee

   How can a man defend himself

from something he can't see?

The Mystery

Sometimes they're taken suddenly

for some the long goodbye

Friends and family gather round

and search for answers why...

Within the mind we know they're gone

our hearts just can't let go

The memories come like ocean waves

and strength we try to show...

The mystery of eternity

we'll meet again we nod

For them, they now know everything

they see the face of God...

Better Place

I'm in a better place right now

the storms have passed me by

The rain no longer falls on me

a clear blue sunny sky...

              The chains that kept me from my dreams            

have fallen to the ground

The fear that kept me in a cell  

no longer has me bound...

I'm learning how to live again

grow stronger every day

The ransom that I paid for years

no longer have to pay...

Music by Era

If I Could

I feel you almost every day

confusing I confess

Somehow I stumbled into you

when I was such a mess...

Was certain I was moving on

but now I'm not so sure

I made a promise years ago

my thoughts were premature...

I know that you're the perfect choice

why did I learn so late?

If only we had met before

perhaps a different fate...

I never meant to hurt you Love

I think I'd rather die

Got caught up in an avalanche

and couldn't say goodbye...

If I could make it all work out

you know I surely would

I'm leaving now so we can heal

I'd be there if I could...

Longing

Your spirit touches me again

I feel you deep inside

A longing now to be with you

across the great divide...

Your Name

From deep within my lonely soul

I cry out loud your name

An echo soon encircles me

and tears pour out like rain...

Why

Why did you let me fall in love 

you could have walked away

When I began to turn and go

you asked that I would stay...

But now your distant and removed

so far away from me

And now you're asking me to leave 

you're wanting to be free...

Music by Yiruma - Dream

Make Believe

You keep me hanging on a rope  

can't take another blow

You reel me me in from time to time 

and then you let me go...

I wont pick up the telephone

the next time that you call

I'm tired of playing make believe

and hurting from the fall...

Fantasy

Is all this just a fantasy

I wove within my mind..
A fanciful relationship

that soon will all unwind?...

Pleading

It wasn't just an afterthought

that brought me here to you

My heart's been begging endlessly

my mind's been pleading too...
