The Key To Sharing

Still Trying To Be
Loved
- Darkness of Heartbreak -

When the light is gone
as you have walked away from me,
how do I find my way through life
where is the love I used to see
they say that love is blind
I don’t believe that is true,
is this because I have wanted
to spend the rest of my life with you
I put my past behind me
when others did me wrong,
with you my heart would not sing
another sad love song
through thick and thin
before we swear each vow,
I believed in love
and I just could not see how
you would take your love away from me
I never thought our love would fly away,
now I see no sunshine
at the dawning of each day
without you I just sit around
when I move I only mope,
I don’t see where I am headed
without my light of hope.
- The Rose of Our Love -

Do you remember the seed we planted
the sweet rose would in turn grow,
everyday it blossomed
it was our love it would show
its’ beauty, its’ grace
its’ strength to go on,
throughout stormy weather
it proved to belong
there in the morning
of the glaring sun,
in a field of daisy’s
it was the only one
and after sunset
with the moon shinning bright,
our rose alive under the stars
in the still of the night
I believed you would stay with me
but you left me instead,
and the rose that was our love
ripped from our hearts is now a rose that’s dead.
- Illusions -

Dreams I dared to dream
the dream I thought we’d share,
was only an illusion
of the truth I thought was there
feelings in my soul
hurt, anger, disappointment and relief;
I thought your love was real
I came to find that it was only just belief
I shared my dreams, my thoughts and feelings
all others I forsake,
if you only dream when you’re asleep
then there’s nothing there when you awake
before my dreams were shattered
and you did what you had the nerve to do,
I awakened every morning
with something to look forward to
now I sit in silence
I don’t know what to say,
I have nothing to look forward to
at the dawning of each day
I can’t awaken from this nightmare
I’m falling apart at the seams,
the truth is that there’s nothing
they were just illusions of my hearts dreams.
- Memories -

Memories are like heaven
they can’t be taken by theft,
when all in life has left you
memories are all that’s left
walks in the park
or time under a tree,
memories I hold dear
when you belonged to me
a hug, a kiss, a daze
time together every day,
memories of us
before you went away
I reminisce when we made love
whispers in bed in each other’s ear,
memories of our moments
when we held each other near
of course now things have changed
you and I are not together,
but we’ll always have the memories
because memories last forever.
- I Thought I’d Never Say Never -
Gathering pieces
of this truly shattered heart,
I am doing it alone
now that we’re apart
I gave you my affection
for you to always take,
instead you took advantage
it’s my heart you didn’t hesitate to break
how could you lie straight through your teeth
when you looked me in the eye,
to proud to shed a tear
I would rather die
nothing left to live for
how do I survive,
for the pinnacle of affection
I thought together we would strive
I’ve lost all ambition
to continue to move on,
when I thought you and I
had the right kind of wrong
when I lost you, my love
I lost my best friend;
and from this day forward
I will never be happy again.
- Make It Stop -

The pain that is felt
from heartbreak and sorrow,
shatters your dreams
leaves no hope for tomorrow
the pain is so grueling
as it tears your soul apart,
leaves you with no means
to comfort your dying heart
where you don’t want to live
yet you don’t want to die,
you don’t want to smile
and you know you won’t cry
this pain shreds your lungs
you can’t even breathe,
there’s no need for such pain
it makes no sense to me
tortured by headaches
my stomach just turns,
over heating from the rush
as my broken heart burns
I feel so alone
my will to live I only drop,
this pain really hurts
please make it stop.
- The Woman of My Dreams -

No matter what I say
no matter what I do,
never in this world
will I ever find a girl like you
a woman that I know
will be all I will ever need,
to be my only flower
as I will be her only seed
a woman whose scent
I can only smell,
a lady whose kiss
my heart would never tell
a woman whose embrace
I would never talk about,
a woman whose love
would never leave me any doubt
a lovely whose kiss
would always ease my heart,
a woman whose distance
would tear me apart
without this woman’s love
I will fall apart at the seams,
I pray each day in every way
that I will meet the woman of my dreams.
- Tomorrow -

I think about tomorrow
I think about it time and time again,
I think about tomorrow
and if I’ll get to love you then
I stay awake at night
staring at the moon and each twinkling star,
waiting for sunrise
because maybe that is where you are
I picture taking walks
I’ve picked out a bench in the park,
I hear us having talks
I see us in the dark
it’s just you and I
sharing our time together,
it almost makes me cry
because tomorrow lasts forever…

I think about tomorrow
I think about it time and time again,
I think about tomorrow
and if I’ll get to love you then
yesterday came and went
but I didn’t get to see you there,
I know you’re heaven sent
I see it in your eyes, your smile and your hair
for you I know I’m bent
I’ll give it all up…I just don’t care,
for each other we are meant
I’m waiting for the sun to rise…maybe tomorrow you’ll be there.
- Even Though -

We tried and we tried
we dreamt and we cried,
we’ve been through it all
when we finished we sighed
you said you didn’t need me
and then I said that we should be apart,
in the process of elimination
we broke each other’s heart
I don’t know what you’ve done
since we went our separate ways,
I only know I am the one
left standing in a daze
I’ve thrown away the flowers
put the letters in a drawer,
I’ve hidden all the gifts
to not think of you anymore
yet you’re still on my mind
and you’re still in my heart,
leave if you want to
but we’ll never be apart
my comforts’ in a bottle
but that I won’t let you know,
I can’t be held by another
because I just can’t let you go.
- Where Was I -

Looking back on my heartbreak past
looking back on the life I lived,
looking back on the love supposed to last
looking back on the wrong I did
looking back on myself in memory
wish I knew then what I know now,
how the hell did I let you get away
wondering if I can get you back somehow
I didn’t mean to hurt you
you didn’t have to leave me,
I know I don’t deserve you
would you please believe me
where the hell was I
when I decided to let you go,
where the hell was I
to tell myself no
where the hell was I
when I said we were done,
where the hell was I
to tell myself you were the one…
- Sight -
Living in my darkest hour without looking into your eyes,
my vision is blurred as my passion for sight dies
if you could see me going blind because I don’t want to see,
there’s nothing worth looking at…if I can’t see you look at me
the visions of waterfalls, landscapes and desert sands,
are not nearly as beautiful as the sight of holding your hands
dimensions and deceptions that eyes are capable of,
refuse to see the defections that are blinded in true love
but when I look at you…no matter what I see,
I would rather look at no one else…because you are beautiful to me
I miss you and your vision…when I look at you my hour never ends,
I fell “in” love at first sight…but if I can’t see you once more…
…then I don’t want to see again.
