This dark and dreary night
will find me restless still
when the moon's careless light
finds me curled beneath your window sill
Dreaming of the time
your kiss soft to my own
remembering that one place
where fairytales seemed to grow
Laughter brought you forth
to my open heart's desire
And there you lay in patience
with love's last flame of fire
So now upon this night
when the moon is haunting me
Why would you release my hand
if not to drown me in your sea
Down I will surrender
to the dark and blinding abyss
within the warm and through tender
that never would exist
Hear me choking back
the whispers that you spoke
and taste the tears under my soul
the music that she wrote
Avert your loving glance again
and follow your own path
The journey that we have begun
darling don't leave it in the past
Though wolves may howl when serpents hiss
I'll wait for you alone
The unbroken shine of moon's first bliss
will light the way towards home

Futility
Tears may fall
to show you again
that I have weakened
beneath your strength
Bend me to your thoughts
Submit me to your flaws
a love returned useless
is abandoned without cause
Tears may dissolve
upon one memory
The hope I grip too tightly
crushes into futility
Reliable grey skies
will mirror in my mind
The faith I had in you
was the hope I would never find
to show you again
that I have weakened
beneath your strength
Bend me to your thoughts
Submit me to your flaws
a love returned useless
is abandoned without cause
Tears may dissolve
upon one memory
The hope I grip too tightly
crushes into futility
Reliable grey skies
will mirror in my mind
The faith I had in you
was the hope I would never find
Last Hope
Did you know
that moment
when we said goodbye
I turned so cold
Oh, the mind's intricate sorrow
breeding feeble lies
to complicate our love
and sad sighs consume
the soul's last hope
I discovered that
I couldn't live without you
so I just walked away
without my heart
that moment
when we said goodbye
I turned so cold
Oh, the mind's intricate sorrow
breeding feeble lies
to complicate our love
and sad sighs consume
the soul's last hope
I discovered that
I couldn't live without you
so I just walked away
without my heart
Return to Sender
Walking through the leaves
in the middle of September
Twenty pounds of heartache
and note on my back -
Return To Sender
The wind is whipping through me
like the voices in my head
(didn't you see me crying)
It wasn't what you did
but the happiness I felt
when you stopped trying
The flower petals are faded
and my clarity turns grey
Sunrises become jaded
And you wanted it this way...
Walking through the leaves
in the middle of September
Remembering your sigh
the moment you fell in love...
when you first kissed her
in the middle of September
Twenty pounds of heartache
and note on my back -
Return To Sender
The wind is whipping through me
like the voices in my head
(didn't you see me crying)
It wasn't what you did
but the happiness I felt
when you stopped trying
The flower petals are faded
and my clarity turns grey
Sunrises become jaded
And you wanted it this way...
Walking through the leaves
in the middle of September
Remembering your sigh
the moment you fell in love...
when you first kissed her
Seventeen Minutes
Thunder invade my private peace
detract swiftly from my mind
Bring the light from heaven's rain
upon my tired face
so sublime in hope
Wash away the tear
hidden and single
in the corner of my watchful eye;
Let it shine moments beyond fear
of past and future kisses...
seventeen minutes past
my soul reminder of this
detract swiftly from my mind
Bring the light from heaven's rain
upon my tired face
so sublime in hope
Wash away the tear
hidden and single
in the corner of my watchful eye;
Let it shine moments beyond fear
of past and future kisses...
seventeen minutes past
my soul reminder of this
Halo
Your arms provide the comfort
of the place that I belong
I waited patiently in my mind
to write the perfect song
The notes would softly whisper
into your sleeping ears
the happiness that missed you
during those empty years...
Now the simple tune
that oft would bring my hope
creates the tie that chains you
to a constricting, endless rope
Knots around my trust
my hands began to fray
from tearing at the wounds
that someone did betray
Stronger threads are holding
this infinite futility in place
then around my neck appears
a halo of unbreakable faith
of the place that I belong
I waited patiently in my mind
to write the perfect song
The notes would softly whisper
into your sleeping ears
the happiness that missed you
during those empty years...
Now the simple tune
that oft would bring my hope
creates the tie that chains you
to a constricting, endless rope
Knots around my trust
my hands began to fray
from tearing at the wounds
that someone did betray
Stronger threads are holding
this infinite futility in place
then around my neck appears
a halo of unbreakable faith
Broken and Bent
I watch you breathe
and feel your skin
from a view that no one
will ever understand
I feel you move
and restless in your sleep
You bring me dreams
my heart couldn't conceive
I taste your kiss
and drink your scent
While devils smile
and angels repent
The gods with their games
seem cruel in intent
but I want this my love
thoughts hidden and spent
I'll cherish you forever
broken and bent
and feel your skin
from a view that no one
will ever understand
I feel you move
and restless in your sleep
You bring me dreams
my heart couldn't conceive
I taste your kiss
and drink your scent
While devils smile
and angels repent
The gods with their games
seem cruel in intent
but I want this my love
thoughts hidden and spent
I'll cherish you forever
broken and bent
