Strike a match
And watch it burn
The flame lasts
And I never learn
It touches my skin
Leaving behind the pain
Letting it sink within
Never speaking of it again
I stumble and fall
Bringing everything down
Ready to give my all
Not caring what hits ground
So sick of being helpless
In this world I can’t control
With feelings of being hopeless
Of all the love that I have stole
I can’t give in and I can’t lose sight
Of what I feel is out there for me
That feeling of fear every night
For no one else to see
So I strike another match
Again I watch it burn
For the same length the flame lasts
And I will never begin to learn.

Giving Up Control
To be held in the arms that love me
Knowing that I’m safe and secure
Feel that rush when I’m finally seen
It feels like the ultimate cure
Knowing what I’ve missed
Reassured it was worth the wait
To finally feel that first kiss
Will finally set my heart straight
Hands wrapped around my skin
Words sung into my ear
To know there is no chagrin
Knowing that with him there’s no fear
Losing all control giving my soul
Fully aware of wait I’m releasing
Giving up to him my full control
Letting him take what’s his for seizing

Blue Skies
Try to sell me my dreams
But the price is too high
Reality is never what it seems
While the future floats by
I reach for the clouds
You smack my hand away
It fills my head with doubt
When all I want is you to stay
I build my faith in fantasy
Work myself up for the fall
Reality is only what we see
Do hopes & dreams exist at all
My mind drifts to better days
When nothing falls or crumbles
Back to days where I was amazed
To days when I ran without a stumble
Sell me my hopes in a ziplock bag
Keep my dreams locked up tight
Don’t let life be such a drag
Let them see the sun shine bright
Release it into the open sky for me
Please never let me fall away
Don’t lock me up and throw away the key
Guarantee me that we’ll never fray

Second Chance
It’s all been said before
The same old song and dance
Leaves me broken on the floor
A fool who gives a second chance
Nothing can erase the doubts
That fills this weary heart & head
Wondering what this is all about
Where my heart should be instead
I sit back and watch the world pass by
Never knowing what the future will hold
So I sit and stare up at the blue cloudless sky
Remembering the lies I’ve been told
Did I make a mistake in believing once more?
Did I stumble right into the trap that has been set?
What does my future have in store?
Can I really trust in love or expect a truckload of regret?

Thought Process
Locked all day in thoughts of you
Memories of everything comes thrusting through
As I sit so far away
Wondering of that day
When the bottom falls out
When I learn what heartache is about
The day I swallow my pain and watch you smile
When I see her walk as a bride down your aisle
The day your child is finally born
I sit alone all tattered and torn
These are my thoughts of the future of you without me
Lately these visions are all I can see
So you ask why I think too much and not just let it flow
Because I can’t bear to think of the day I have to let you go
To not have you as the beacon in my life
For you to take another as your wife
It is my world’s greatest fear
For now I’ll have to switch gears
Turn off my thinking cap and focus on another
Begin a new life, possibly take a new lover
I’d wait for you until breath no longer passed through my lips
For the chance of your hands to lay upon me like a death grip
Just wish you had enough love to give you the power to move
Wish I had the chance cause I guarantee you would not lose

Picking Up The Pieces
Did I get wrapped up in the illusion of it all
Did I believe all the wrong words
How did I manage not to die in this fall
Instead just end up shattered and disturbed
Now I feel as if everything that was said was a lie
That everything I knew about you was a hoax
I sit and question everything wondering why
I always thought we were so close
I feel like such a fool believing you
Yet you were and still are a good friend
Now I sit here curious if it’s all through
Picking up these pieces alone in the end
Was it all just mirrors and smoke
Was I just a pawn in this game
I never thought what we were was a joke
I know we will never be the same
