Tired of Hurting

Why did you let me fall in love?
You could have walked away
When I began to reach for you
you asked that I would stay...

But now your silent and removed
the days pass on their way
And just when I began to live
you find more words to say...

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...

I Have No Wings

Standing on a mountain top

the world before my view

Everywhere I look right now

my thoughts come back to you...

From deep within my very soul

I cry out loud your name

An echo soon encircles me

and tears pour out like rain

My darling how I miss you so

I'm here under the sky

I can't get closer now my love

I have no wings to fly...

Music by Stephan Moccio

These Words

I know one day you'll read these words

they'll wait until that time

A message from my heart to yours

I penned for you in rhyme...

I think we could have made it Babe

I wish we would have tried

So many nights I laid awake

sometimes I even cried...

Your precious name,I won't write down

I'll seal this with a kiss

Will love you till the end of time

the one who's reading this...

To Love Another Day

Sifting through the memories

the aftermath of life

Ashes now are all that's left

the pain cuts like a knife...

Devastation everywhere

no matter where I turn

Subtle streams of smoke arise

from embers that still burn...

Lovers who exchanged their vows

when both had come of age

Somehow got tangled in a web

and bliss turned into rage...

How I wish the rain would fall

and wash it all away

Heal my heart so I can hope

to love another day...

Friends

Memories knocking at the door

we visit in my mind

Replaying all the glory days

and those I left behind...

I still remember each of you

you're all still in your prime

Forever living in my heart

until the end of time...

Gardens

They sleep in gardens filled with tears
a marker with their name
From time to time a visitor
who helped them through their pain...

The silence there so deafening
a peace that one can feel
The moments now become profound
it all seems so surreal...

Memories come like ocean waves
they splash upon the mind
And when at last a terse goodbye
a flower left behind...
