Choices Still Unmade
Shadows drift over the cradle
And there in lies the future
Of possibilities yet to be explored
Of choices still unmade
Like seasons not yet passed
Lullabies tell of sweet memories
Just like stars tell of far away worlds
Little tear drops fall like rain
Glinting like shiny pearls
And there in lies the future
Of possibilities yet to be explored
Of choices still unmade

Writhes In Her Heart
It writhes in her heart
Turns it to ice inside out
Blocking any feeling the you caused
All the pain
Nothing but a hollow shell
Only there for the purpose of life
Her heart is not a heart anymore
It's a fathomless pit of black
Her only comfort is loneliness
She's knows it will never desert her
So numb
The only thing that reaches through
Is sweet sweet pain
The color of red blood

Forward
Look only forward
And never back
For with each turn
There's a new train on the track
Try and look farther
Then you think you could
Try and push harder
Than you think you should
Remember and ponder
The lessons learned
Remember your feelings
And the accomplishments earned
For this unwinding road looks harder
Than the one you took
The one you traveled
The one that holds your look

Mistakes and Changes
Dreading day after day
Slowly trudging through
People pass by a blur
Of faces and clothes
Sitting in the back
Listening to the drones
Of supposed authority
Doing what your told
Feeling inadequate
Feeling bored
Feeling alone and separate
So different from what was the norm
Only a few days ago
Looking so forward
To the end of the week
When things will change
When I can go home

Shackels and A Cage
Cracks in something once broken
Pencil marks not fully erased
Shadows of what was
Dim the light of now
Trapped in white rooms
Black lines paint pictures
Greys of nothing
Penetrate brilliant colors
Those addicted
Uncontrolled desire
Hinder
Yet release
You trade dull shackles
For shining gold ones

Falling Hurts
Slowly but surely
I've fallen
Fallen for you
And it hurts
Knowing that you
Always have someone else
Knowing that you always
Get your heart broken
And I still help pick up the pieces
You've never known
I've never wanted you to
And I know you don't feel the same way
So I'll stand in the background
Just being one of your friends
As I watch as the girls
Break your heart one by one

Made Of Glass
She's made of glass
She brakes
With a every shake she takes
With every breath you make
She's like a butterfly
With the miles and miles
She travels for long whiles
But if you touch a wing
She'll break something
She's like a withering flower
Barely making the hour
Petals the once bright
Fly off by the night
But remember
She's surrender
She's given you a part
Don't brake
Her fragile glass heart

A Girl Afraid Of A Broken Heart
She won't give up her heart easily
She knows all too well the serious
Implications a mistake like that could
Bring upon her
She's been through hell and back
Nothing terrifies her more than thought
Of heart being shattered into a million
Microscopic peices scattered through out
The four corners of the world
You must work slowly
You must ease her into it
Or you'll scare her off and you never
See her again

How Could I?
Dancing with you
Felt so right
I've never really
Confronted these feelings
How could I possibly?
How could I do that to someone I love?
I'm beginning to like you
How could I say that?
She likes you
I know she does
She's told me
How leaving you was a mistake
She is one of my best friends
I do not want to see her upset

Wondering World
Blue waves
Shifting waters
Seem to reflect
The ever changing moods
Clouds drift over the sun
Casting shadows over land
Amber drops and liquid sunlight
Tears of fallen angels
Drops of Jupiter
Deadly and beautiful
Star cast down from heaven
Shattered cores
Silently imploading
Stunningly exploding
Like glass afire
Or ash rain
Left with only wind
And burned flowers
Crying softly
