Lost Somewhere Between Her Eyes and Her Lips

There is a certain gravity
A pull
Every time I look
Into her eyes

The world just seem to stop
Everything around me fades away
And my heart somehow manages
To both stop and beat harder

And then I see her lips
And I realize
That I will never be the same
A fundamental shift has occurred

All I can imagine
Is how it must feel
Those lips gently and tenderly
Wrapped up with mine

What it must be to get caught
In her beautiful gaze
Breathing her in
Before tasting her

And in those moments
When my heart
Both beats and doesn’t
I get utterly and completely lost
Somewhere between
Her eyes and her lips

Let You Drown

Yours was the hand
That beat me down
And now you reach out
Asking for help
And you sit there wondering
Why I am letting you drown

Yours was the hand
That knew how to abuse
And now you’re stuck
In a mess you made
And you can’t understand
Why it is that I refuse

Yours was the hand
That struck with a closed fist
And now you’re lost
Needing help to be found
And you seem confused
On why I would refuse

Yours was the hand
That struck me down
Now mine is the hand
That’s letting you drown

I See the Dark

Inside I see the dark
Within I feel the cold
I know now that tomorrow
Can only be filled with sorrow
As the rain pours down
I ask, can it cleanse my soul
I think I know the answer
So soon I shall embrace my fate
So filled with anger and hate
I rage at what I am
I Weep for what I was
There is no atonement
No escaping the sins of yesterday
Lord bring on the night
Let sleep take my soul

A Storm Rages

A storm rages within
A battle fought that can not be won
Between mind and heart
Which is right
Which is wrong

Mind filled with logic
Tells me all the reasons I shouldn’t
Predicts all the pain involved
Heart filled with passion
Tells me why I should
Says pleasure awaits

Confusion reigns
Turmoil prevails
I don’t know what to do
What to say

Should I follow my mind
Let logic prevail
Or follow my heart
Let passion rule

What is right
What is wrong
The answer lies somewhere in between
I hope I find the way
And put my soul to ease

In That Dark and Dusty Room

He led me down the hall
Past the door with the lock
I would see it soon
That dark and dusty room

This is where monsters
Made other monsters
In that dark and dusty room

I was told to trust
But learned not to
In that dark and dusty room

Something was lost
Never to be found again
In that dark and dusty room

The walls screamed silently
Telling tales of sins and sinners
But no one hears the screams
In that dark and dusty room

I learned how to turn it off
And be someone else
Those cries weren’t mine
In that dark and dusty room

One Day

One day
He loved to say

One day
We’ll do this and we’ll do that

One Day
We’ll go here and we’ll go there

The one thing he didn’t say
Is that one day he’d be gone

We never did this, and we never did that
We never went here, and we never went there
But I’d give everything I have and ever will have
Even if only to hear him say

“One day”
For one more day
