Past Midnight

Past midnight tonight I realized this:
You don't need my love, or your infant son.
Each hope that lingers soon fades like your kiss
When morning arrives, I know that you've gone
I tried to be patient, loving and kind
Bending and changing to fight for your heart
I really believed I could change your mind
With faith - despite being so far apart
Harsh rainstorms tonight bring me restless fear;
With it, a sadness never felt before
You were not crying with me and my tears
Live stronger without me. Just slam the door.
Past midnight tonight I finally see
Without us near, you are finally free.

City Noise

She's staring past the busy city noise
While darkness tries to wake her tired heart
The only sound she hears is his soft voice
Her comfort while they are so far apart
The moonlight's eye reflects her flowing tears
With complements of friendship and rapport
Just for one moment she ignores her fears
Remembering the way love was before
Aware of echoed sounds she hears a train
Its lonesome travels speeding through the night
Her silent wonders prove to be in vain
And answers lie beyond the city lights

Lights and noise are lullabies at best
To keep her from the solitude of rest

No Voice

I could not write my song tonight
My mind felt pale and weak;
A baby bird that couldn't fly
A mute that couldn't speak

Stood Up

I waited for you patiently
Hoping that you would meet me soon
Three hours later I could tell
You stood me up this afternoon

Goodbye

Gently whisper farewell
Or say nothing at all
On this dreary day
Dandelions wilting
Bring me further from
Your promise to stay for
Eternity

A Mother's Dream

Beautiful rose
Touched with the breath of morning's dew
Beautiful rose
Gracefully, you open, then close
The rain's kiss allows you to bloom
Like a mother's nurturing womb
Beautiful rose

Between Life and Death

Bring me back home...
Let me find strength within your arms
Bring me back home...
To the only safe place I've known
Protect me from life's deadly harm
Save me from death's deceitful charm
Bring me back home
