Farewell
(May 29th, 2004)

Now bid farewell
To the days spent alone, brooding
To the nights spent alone, crying
To the friends who took me down
To the foes I kept around
To the angels I failed to hold dear
To the devils I thought sincere
To the anger I saw needed
To the love that went unheeded

Now bid farewell
To the dark hours that haunted me
To the dark moods that destroyed me
To the dark thoughts that possesed me
To the dark angel that tore me

Now bid farewell
To my life, as it once was
To my pain, that gave me pause
To my suffering, which has now ended
To my despair, which has now faded

Now bid farewell, I say
To these things of yesterday
Let them pass to the realm of lore
For I need them no more

Love Runs Again
(May 20th, 2004)

When I lie in the dark
Tears upon my face
I simply think of you
And tell myself this

Remember her hand on yours
Remember her lips on yours
Remember the look in her eyes
Remember the feeling in her heart

Believe in that feeling
Believe in things to come
Believe in that kiss
Believe in yourself

And the world is less grey
The night, a little warmer
The stars, more beautiful now
For love runs in me again

Perfection
May 18th, 2004

I never knew perfection
Never seen true beauty
Never loved all of a person
'Til I met you

I never felt a spark inside
Never dreamed so much
Never smiled so often
'Til I met you

Never realized that
One like you could exist
Romantic, classic rock, poet
Writer, star-loving,
Moonlite walks on beaches
No I never thought I'd meet
Somenoe as perfect as you

Andarta
May 18th, 2004

The best night of my life
Was all thanks to you
We talked, we sung
We laughed and we drank
But those were not the best things

No the best things
Were the moments of silence
Gazing at the other
When we don't think they're looking
Then the smile and giggle
When our eyes meet

The clasped hands, yours in mine
The small smile upon your face

But best of all things
Was the kiss in the night
So much feeling, passion
Melting, on fire

Yes the best thing of all
Was your lips on mine
And the love behind them

So much in common
You and I
Hopeless romantics
Lost souls, searching for light

Now I stand here and hope
Rain pouring down my face
Please let her be the one
Please let this be real

Magic
May 18th, 2004

I float through this world
Dreamy smile upon my face,
No step I make wrong,
No hatred alters my pace.

Electric sparks in my heart,
A fire burning deep within,
And in the darkness of night,
A candle is lit once again.

Like gentle rain after storm
My doubts are washed away,
Replaced by new belief that
Yes, there is a way.

Cupid's arrow has struck
My heart at last
Finally I can forget
The events of the past

I believe in this magic
Which now fills my heart
And I believe in you
Hope we do not part

I walk this Earth
Dreamy smile upon my face
Loving and believing
In you.

Forgotten
(May 5th, 2004)

Been locked in the dark so long
I've forgotten the sun
Trapped in the rain for ages
And I can't remember clear skies

Been forced to from so much
I've forgotten how to smile
Ignored emotion half my life
And I can't remember feeling

Been compelled to give it all
I've forgotten how to keep it
Voiced a lie too often
And I can't remember truth

Been blind for so many years
I've forgotten how to see
Held my tongue too often
I can't remember free speech

Been covering my face so long
I've forgotten my own image
Bruised for a life time now
I don't remember how to heal

Been crawling for years and years
I've forgotten how to stand
Loved in the dark so long
I don't know how to tell you
