What's his name?
font=Courier New]We stopped talking again
There seems to always been a common thread
You've probably found someone more interesting
Someone you think you actually want
I would give anything to just not care anymore
To just say goodbye and never speak again
I don’t even know why I waste my time
Did you even ever really like me
Or was I just the one you could count on to brighten your day
I was the guy who wanted nothing more than see you smile
Turns out I’m just the guy that is used and thrown away
...

Ghost of a memory
You’re like a ghost of a memory
no longer solid in form
just a distant wispy fog
that rests at the bottom of my heart and soul
If you’d have asked I would have said yes
no matter the question
I wanted nothing more than for you to be in my life
just wanting to see you, feel your soft gentle touch
smell your perfume, and taste your kiss again
At times you would say things that would catch me off guard
you only ever felt when you were drinking
my mind would race until I asked about it...

End of my rope
Sitting in the dark
I’m at the end of my rope
my matchbook has all but burned out
I don’t know how long I can hold on
but I’m sure the fall will kill me
its only a matter of time before my grip gives way
and I fall into the abyss below
will I fall for eternity
or will I meet the ground
I’m hallucinating I see demons all around
ghosts of drunken mistakes
as I ponder the past
my last match goes out
my hands go numb
I let go.
I’m at the end of my rope
my matchbook has all but burned out
I don’t know how long I can hold on
but I’m sure the fall will kill me
its only a matter of time before my grip gives way
and I fall into the abyss below
will I fall for eternity
or will I meet the ground
I’m hallucinating I see demons all around
ghosts of drunken mistakes
as I ponder the past
my last match goes out
my hands go numb
I let go.

Chaos
You and me
A state of chaos spinning
Precariously balanced
A matter of time before it tips over
Crashing into our hearts
Tearing into our soul
We had our moments
Kisses after wonderful evenings
But they are past
Now the future looks bleak
It's complicated
You're scared and won't try
I have my reasons why I cant
We have too much history
To many things to deal with
You made a good point, how can you trust me
Maybe you can't, we'll probably never know
Is tonight the end of the beginning?
Or the bringing of the end?
I...
A state of chaos spinning
Precariously balanced
A matter of time before it tips over
Crashing into our hearts
Tearing into our soul
We had our moments
Kisses after wonderful evenings
But they are past
Now the future looks bleak

You're scared and won't try
I have my reasons why I cant
We have too much history
To many things to deal with
You made a good point, how can you trust me
Maybe you can't, we'll probably never know
Is tonight the end of the beginning?
Or the bringing of the end?

I saw your picture
I saw your picture, ravishing, but I could not say
You were dapper if only for a day
Its been weeks since we've spoken
A relationship broken
Maybe its better this way
So many things, yet also nothing to say
I feel lost without you
Do you think of me too
Someday we'll speak the same
Rekindle the flame
Go down the same path
Incur the same wrath
I should move on with my life, let go of you
My time is precious, minutes too few
Too much wishing
Wasted time missing...
You were dapper if only for a day
Its been weeks since we've spoken
A relationship broken
Maybe its better this way
So many things, yet also nothing to say
I feel lost without you
Do you think of me too
Someday we'll speak the same
Rekindle the flame
Go down the same path
Incur the same wrath
I should move on with my life, let go of you
My time is precious, minutes too few
Too much wishing
Wasted time missing...

Winning hearts and minds
Is there a single consciousness
not hardly
the heart wild and passionate
falls in love easily
doesn't care about the risks
the mind deliberate and cautious
weighing pros and cons
always second guessing
I think I've won her heart
but her mind gets in the way
or is it her mind that I've conquered
and her heart just isn't in it
no matter which it is
I still cannot win her heart and her mind together
or maybe
its my heart and mind that needs convincing
not hardly
the heart wild and passionate
falls in love easily
doesn't care about the risks
the mind deliberate and cautious
weighing pros and cons
always second guessing
I think I've won her heart
but her mind gets in the way
or is it her mind that I've conquered
and her heart just isn't in it

Poor Aim
I looked up the other night to wish upon a star
All that could be seen were the clouds from the storm
The city lights seared the sky with reflected light
Not a single star could be seen
I made a wish anyway
There are billions of stars out there
I should be able to hit one I think
It must have missed the mark
For the wish I wished did not come true
Then again they never do
All that could be seen were the clouds from the storm
The city lights seared the sky with reflected light
Not a single star could be seen
I made a wish anyway
There are billions of stars out there
I should be able to hit one I think
It must have missed the mark
For the wish I wished did not come true
Then again they never do

Silence
The silence cuts deep into my soul, slow and agonizing
Resentment runs cold through my blood spreading like an infection, first to my heart and then to my mind
It makes me crazy, makes me feel things that aren't real, say things I don't mean to say
The thought of you plays tricks on my heart, you haunt my dreams at night and run rampant in my head during the day
Then it happens you say it will never work
At first I'm mad then reality sinks in, its actually pain I feel
I make one more attempt at reconciliation
What is heard?
Nothing but silence...
Resentment runs cold through my blood spreading like an infection, first to my heart and then to my mind

Dream
We walk together
our hands holding tight
smiles on our faces
happiness in our hearts
then I’m awoken..
I must have been dreaming
none of this is real
so I lay there sadly
trying to fall asleep again
to be there with you
if only in my dreams.
our hands holding tight
smiles on our faces
happiness in our hearts
then I’m awoken..
I must have been dreaming
none of this is real
so I lay there sadly
trying to fall asleep again
to be there with you
if only in my dreams.

Wondering
Should I stop or should I try
I sit here waiting, wondering why
I think about what I might miss
Your smile, your touch, a goodnight kiss
Some of your time is all I require
Your silence and distance test my desire
You're warm then cold, yet I stand by
I sit here waiting, wondering why
I sit here waiting, wondering why
I think about what I might miss
Your smile, your touch, a goodnight kiss
Some of your time is all I require
Your silence and distance test my desire
You're warm then cold, yet I stand by
I sit here waiting, wondering why
