Where there's a will...

I’m not entirely proud of what we’ve become
The possibility of everything we’ve built coming undone
It scares me to the deepest corner of my soul
The future laid out in front of us - the great unknown

To know that my importance isn’t a daily thing
Or so it can somehow possibly seem
Pondering how much you want me there with you
Is a question I can’t seem to get an answer to

It feels like I’m infatuated & obsessed that’s true
But when you know what you want, what else can you do
So you wait, consider the future and hope for the best
Yet your brain doesn’t allow you time to rest

I know the passion, the want, the desire is there
I know there is some sort of love; a definite care
Yet I question this nightly if it can ever see the light of day
The only answer I come up with is: “If there’s a will there’s a way”.

Enjoy the View

I see a mirror of myself when I look at you
Wondering how this ever became to be true
Stepping deeper and deeper into this mess
It’s something I never considered I must confess

Looking back into our history
So many mistakes I can now see
Never started soon enough or took the bait
Now I see it full circle it’s all too late

Shot for the moon and landed among the stars
Never imagined I’d be so close yet so far
The past is just that painfully just the past
The future is out before us just hoping we’ll last

Looking in the mirror at myself and seeing you
Taking a step back and enjoying the view
Just a little time is all I think I’ll need
To get away from you and get back to me

You'll Haunt Me

Certain words should not have been spoken
Words should not have been said
Then hearts wouldn’t be broken
Thoughts wouldn’t have entered this head

It’s amazing the words you tend to believe
The words you’ve always wanted to hear from those lips
How the simplest words can definitely deceive
And breakdown the closest of friendships

Ignorance is bliss and I never truly understood
How a heart can shatter into thin air
And it can never be put back together the way it should
Not even with the utmost care

My heart ached for those feelings and thoughts
Especially from that one “perfect” soul
I’ll never know what time has made me lost
Guess I’ll never have the chance to fully know

Soaring

I know what I want and I can tell you what I need
It doesn’t matter though because you only see what you see

Things are up and outside of me living and breathing on their own
I can’t believe how far I’ve come and gone setting myself on loan

The way we move and weave into one another’s soul
Is a story too amazing to ever possibly be told

I know what I want and what I need getting there is a whole other tale
To become who we truly need to be without putting ourselves on sale
