My Heart

Feelings that I can't explain

keep tugging on my heart

Thinking of you day and night

while we're still worlds apart...

Checking emails all day long

a message here and there

I can't help thinking how you feel

how much you really care...

If this is just a fantasy

please let it soon depart

But if you really are the one

I offer you my  heart...

The Voice

Counting moonbeams one by one

and wishing on a star

A longing deep within my soul

to be there where you are...

I hope that you can hear the voice

that cries within my heart

And that one day we'll meet again

and never be apart...

Reflection

Reflection now a way of life

a poet and his pen

Memories from so long ago

tug heartstrings once again...

Friends and lovers come to mind

they pass before my eyes

The feelings I had locked away 

escape my heart in sighs...

Oh how I wish that I could go
and find them all right now
I'd leave without a second thought
and stay with them somehow...

Aftermath

Sifting through the aftermath

a memory here and there

What once meant everything to me

lays scattered... frayed... and bare...

It's hard to see it all this way
reality so cruel
And now that there is nothing left
I feel like such a fool...

Better Now

I think I’m getting better now

The sky is not so grey

The troubles that I’ve battled through

don’t hurt so much today…

I still don’t see a rainbow yet

and tears still fall like rain

I'm praying for the sun to shine

and take away the pain ...

Music...A Path to Solitude...by Dan Gibson

Cry

Every fiber of my soul

still yearns for only you

We couldn't make to the end 

we're toxic through and through...

An ocean churns within my heart

I only want to die

I'll wear the mask until it's done

and then I'll start to cry...

First Step

The first step was the hardest one

it took so many years

I wrestled with so many doubts

and all the hidden fears...

So many times I just gave in 

and let the moment go

But now it's all I think about

the outcome sure I know...

The process is so well defined

the end is now in sight

I'm learning how to live again

and try to do it right...
