It's not that I think otherwise
you didn't fill my heart with lies
I just can't bear to think it's done
I want to stay with you not run
It wasn't ever meant to be
I wonder what she thinks of me
Had no intentions to pull you away
from the world you know and love today
I wanted to let her know it is real
the way I shared and what I feel
She understands my heart is true
because she chose and loves you too
It hurts more than this world can comprehend
what it is to say goodbye...
what it means to face the end

Silent Lyrics
I burned my memories of us today
I hope you destroy yours too
The tragedy is I can't erase my life
but everything reminds me of you
It tore our soul in half
left love in an abyss of pain
The lyrics are silent
Those notes are all wrong
and I am empty once again
You'll never really know
how deep my feelings are for you
the horrifying part was revealing my heart
because I thought that you felt it too
I hope you destroy yours too
The tragedy is I can't erase my life
but everything reminds me of you
It tore our soul in half
left love in an abyss of pain
The lyrics are silent
Those notes are all wrong
and I am empty once again
You'll never really know
how deep my feelings are for you
the horrifying part was revealing my heart
because I thought that you felt it too
Stilled
Like trudging through quicksand frozen in time
Or searching for a treasure filled with space
My will has been defeated, redefined
I reconstruct my tears from endless grace
Self pity and false pride will not defer
Your losses to your hopeless, faithless fear
But leaving me will leave you to concur
With feelings taught to you over the years
You take no actions to reach for my hand
Choosing to selfishly break no one's fall
Stepping upon my heartache as I land,
You never understood my love at all
I walk into the quicksand on my own
Unaware that you will never come home
Or searching for a treasure filled with space
My will has been defeated, redefined
I reconstruct my tears from endless grace
Self pity and false pride will not defer
Your losses to your hopeless, faithless fear
But leaving me will leave you to concur
With feelings taught to you over the years
You take no actions to reach for my hand
Choosing to selfishly break no one's fall
Stepping upon my heartache as I land,
You never understood my love at all
I walk into the quicksand on my own
Unaware that you will never come home
How To Kill A Life
The voices in my head
are deafening but clear
No one will miss you
you are wasting your tears
And those years that you gave
will all be forgotten
Like the core of an apple
that's molded and rotting
Upon the cold, frozen ground
that hasn't been mown
Brown, overgrown weeds
have made it their home
Like anyone would love you
what do you have to give
Frustration? Confusion?
Your faith leaks like a sieve
Watch it spill quickly
like blood onto the floor
from a murder victim
gunned down at the door
of the house she returned to
at the end of a long day
with love in her arms
and so much to say about life
Just take the knife and peel the skin
that covers your desire
that masks your sins
Pierce the soul slowly
digging as deep as you can
Let the pain consume your heart
even if you can't stand the sigh
of your silence bleeding out
leaving your heart to die cold
Don't skip the past
just because the wounds are old
They should be the last to remember
though closest to your heart
Go for new flesh --it's tender
and easier to scar...
No one will miss your happiness
as false as it betrayed
Listen to the voices:
Love isn't here
And he doesn't wantyou to stay
are deafening but clear
No one will miss you
you are wasting your tears
And those years that you gave
will all be forgotten
Like the core of an apple
that's molded and rotting
Upon the cold, frozen ground
that hasn't been mown
Brown, overgrown weeds
have made it their home
Like anyone would love you
what do you have to give
Frustration? Confusion?
Your faith leaks like a sieve
Watch it spill quickly
like blood onto the floor
from a murder victim
gunned down at the door
of the house she returned to
at the end of a long day
with love in her arms
and so much to say about life
Just take the knife and peel the skin
that covers your desire
that masks your sins
Pierce the soul slowly
digging as deep as you can
Let the pain consume your heart
even if you can't stand the sigh
of your silence bleeding out
leaving your heart to die cold
Don't skip the past
just because the wounds are old
They should be the last to remember
though closest to your heart
Go for new flesh --it's tender
and easier to scar...
No one will miss your happiness
as false as it betrayed
Listen to the voices:
Love isn't here
And he doesn't want

Blogroll
Very rarely do I break my silence. I was adding your names to my distro list for notification of the changes and upcoming sonnet contest on (shameless plug and proud editor for) http://sonnetwriters.com. It warmed my heart to see the same loyal names on my blogroll and comments. So a less than silent thank you to all of you. You mean so much to me and my writing. Note the change. Not a blogroll. Friends.
Thank you.
Ali
Thank you.

Meaningful
Mommy showed me the great big world today
We walked hand in hand; the rain disappeared
I caught a butterfly that wouldn't stay
Was that the real reason for mommy's tears?
The sun was hidden behind her blue eyes
As she held out my hand for me to feel
Flowers on a tree, and birds in the sky
This is how, she said, you know something's real
When you can feel its warmth and hear its breath
Even when time won't allow it to be
When you can watch it grow, and take each step
To become something meaningful, you see?
When Mommy shows me such beauty in life
I wonder why you aren't here by our side
We walked hand in hand; the rain disappeared
I caught a butterfly that wouldn't stay
Was that the real reason for mommy's tears?
The sun was hidden behind her blue eyes
As she held out my hand for me to feel
Flowers on a tree, and birds in the sky
This is how, she said, you know something's real
When you can feel its warmth and hear its breath
Even when time won't allow it to be
When you can watch it grow, and take each step
To become something meaningful, you see?
When Mommy shows me such beauty in life
I wonder why you aren't here by our side
