to give a little hope
to someone far away
to trust in what’s said
typed in such a way
as to make a person think
and make a person dream
that maybe in some way
things are as they seem

but time and time again
though how hard we try
the people far away
make us want to cry
sweet things often said
and moments thought you shared
are nothing more than hope
that someone else has cared

shall we not believe again
the next person on our way
should we not believe
a word that they say
but once again we find ourselves
reading on a screen
all the things we told ourselves
life really means
Once again we hope
and once again we pray
that maybe this is different
than it was yesterday

A light against the darkness
a guiding star to see
a hope of finding something
waiting there for me
through the murky waters
of relationships of old
moving toward the one
I forever tend to hold
cast upon the waters
a note cased in glass
cast out beyond the hold
of fingers of the past
if not I to make it
these words to you I pass
"Each moment I'm without you
my mind holds you dear
Each time I have left you
I can say without fear
You're the one I need to hold
the one I need to see
From what begins right here,
yours eternally"

I awoke late at night
how did things go wrong?
how old am I now?
has it really been that long?
Laying on the floor
staring at the sky
how much longer do I have?
will it change before I die?
I took the path less traveled,
for no one seemed to follow
I took the path less traveled,
the one I shouldn't of traveled
I ended up in No Where
a place I'd been before
I knew the place quiet well
no walls, or light, or doors
just me against the darkness
alone as time again
standing once more
where my story will begin

In the time before time I stood
poised at the brink of creation
Forming the great skies
calming the boiling seas
Spreading chaos into life
and casting darkness into heavens
From this moment I made man
to wallow in the dirt
to take what was not given
and borrow what was not lent
Onto man I cast woman
to destroy his mind
to wretch from man the spirit of his being
the life of his soul
Wielding the fiery sword of damnation
striking at the heart of man
My final plague is love.

Nothing more than words
typed across a screen
nothing more than light
is often how it seems
though all your friends are there
and you talk to every one
there's no one there beside you
and no where left to run

A voice on the phone
to softly tell you lies
of how it all could be
like clouds in the sky
then it all drifts away
as you hang up the phone
and there you lay in bed
once again alone

From time to time I sit and think
and time to time I wonder
is life all there is to live
and this thought I ponder
wouldn't it be special
or just a little strange
if out beyond the curtain
there was another stage
a second act to living

another way to be
that when we end the first act
there’s so much more to see

Or what if there is nothing
past the edge of my sight
the end of all that is
when we turn off the light
would we be different
how would we be changed
if after we're done acting
we simply walk off the stage..

to save your world in a kiss
make right that which is undone
to provide the single point of reference
by which all things shall be won
to look into ones self
into the eyes of another
from that lost gaze
see one in the other

when those that are around you
are always held inside
forever are you lucky
and always by your side
take unto yourself
what never goes away
love those inside you
and carry on that way

to live as you are
and not to wonder why
but to lose all you have
without the bat of an eye
pick up what is left
and dust off your dreams
and know in your heart
it's not as bad as it seems

walk out the door
of shattered home of old
to move on in heart
a new self to mold
always know yourself
and never lose your spirit
for though you're alone
you're always near it

lose yourself
in a sea of delusion
and a torrent of lies
drown in your own self loathing
and swim in a pool of despair

when the flood gates of reality
break upon our drenched spirits
it is only us who can swim
and seek out our haven of driftwood

well worn and gnarreled
our old familiar friend
keeping soul afloat on broken spirit
till once again sun returns
lighting the darkness of our torn hearts
driving away clouds and drenched earth
a giving life reborn to self and soul

in all of life's darkness
and all of fates ends
I will be your sun
forever yours,
your friend.

Once upon a time
is how the story starts
a tale of 2 young lovers
who both had broken hearts
they found one another
hearts growing near
in the beat of a heart
gone was all their fears
till once again it happened
the pain they knew before
it crept into the story
as one walked out the door
once again the one
was left all alone
to stare at the walls
in this now empty home

how could this have happened,
what had they done wrong
remembering every second
like an old familiar song
it started out amazing
and carried on that way
but what has now happened
that it ends now this day
it's nothing that you did
it's not your fault at all
you tried to keep me there
but I heard another call
alone once again
we both must make our way
to the arms of another
and a new place to stay

high upon the highest
this rocky peak I climb
held aloft by ancient rock
a view that is all mine
for up above the roof tops
far above the rain
upon this peak I sit
oblivious to pain
though bitter wind chills me
it's nothing felt inside
for I climb up here to die
like I died inside today

Ray of hope on misty morn
Shielded heart of love once scorn
Bitter cold kept at bay
Till hearts warmth returns someday

How hard is it to love again?
To trust the way you once lost
To hold dear something ripped away
Love to whom tossed aside
The soul you gave from deep inside
Return the ways to once they were
To feed a hunger starved so long

How hard is it to love again?
When chance of pain rears it's head
Pain of soul, heart once dead
To kinder fire from drifted wood
Light a fire amidst a gale

How hard is it to love again?
I ask you this not for me
I ask you this so you will see
For not how hard, or soft, or fair
For not how right, or wrong to care
But how not to live at all
For no love light your day
'Tis no day at all
No hope of night away
'Tis no hope at all

How hard is it to love again?
How hard is it to breathe again,
When air escapes your lungs
How hard is it to see again,
When darkness succumbs
How hard is it?
