Decisions
You could turn and walk away
You might find better, one day
Or you could try to stay
And we'll draw our story in the sand
Walk along this beach hand in hand
Until we find our own place to crash land
Because when we scream and fight
It brings to light that one is wrong and one is right
So will you stay and we'll go with the flow
And some day we might finally know
Whether we should push forward or just let each other go

Irrational Fear
I'm somewhat insecure so hold me near
I have such an irrational fear
But you seem to understand
And hold out a helping hand
This is the ‘me' not many know
The one I'm terrified to truly show
So maybe I can be something more
Now that you've unlocked this door
But then again would you rather keep me here
So we can share a heartbeat so loud and clear
Just me and you in a world so torn
Just me and you together away from others scorn

Chosen?
Love they say
The meaning of life
Nothing more or less
Than yesterday's strife
Yet still they shelter
A heart so cold
That once it's touched
The soul is sold
They care not for pariahs
Nor pray for the victim
Waiting for the messiah
That leads by the blade
Yet still they say
In uncertainty and pride
Celestial is their way
And this world must abide
So I ask but this
If that is true
What makes you so sure?
That your ‘god' has chosen you?

Would You, Could You?
If I had air for a mind and stone for a heart
Would you love me still or rip me apart
If I had water for blood and fire for skin
Would you still look at me in lust or just see a sin?
I ask not in arrogance but wonder and pride
I have so many secrets that I wish to confide
My sleep never ends yet I remain forever awake
In pain from these regrets I once did partake
So tell me now, if I was a monster would you see
That even as a beast I still am just me

Summer Kisses
Love blossoms in the heart
What was it i thought he tore apart?
This thing that beats so fast
As I see you race past?
What is this feeling?
The cheeks that go bright red
The emotion that is revealing
And only by three words you said
Sweet summer kisses
You know all my wishes
I remember the confession so shy
Asking me if I would give it a try
You really are my only weakness
You who saved me from my life of bleakness
The one I love with all my heart
The one that healed that the heart he tore apart

Consequences of demise
Through the forest, past the gate
Where the time seemed to wait
As your breath tried an escape
While they decide your fate
Nothing says ‘its too late'
Than the fallen angels broken mate
Who hides and cries
And still denies
That the one she prized
Created his own demise
No one moves, no one breaths
As that soulless being leaves
She's broken far beyond repair
In her own dismal despair
So tell me as you wait and pray
In anticipation for the hell to pay
Have you so much as apologized?
For the tears your ‘soul mate' cries

I Am
I am something forgotten
I am something lost
Something once begotten
And now outside I am tossed
I am someone loved
I am someone proud
Someone now, so far away, shoved
And now outside I weep out loud
I was something cared for
I was something with power
Something equal to a lord
And now outside I cower
I was someone high
I was someone feared
Someone that owned the sky
And now outside I am no longer dear

Lil' Mouse
I can’t say I hate it
Though I can’t say it’s nice
Because now I look before I sit
Thanks to the little field mice
They scurry and run
Under chairs and doors
They must think its fun
Scuttling around on all fours
Finally caught the little brat
Though it nearly had a heart attack
Nearly eaten by my cat
So small so speed it really lacks
Now cuddled in cloth
Too late at night
Must feel like a sloth
Needs to be treated right

Waiting On The Right Flame
A new page for this new age
Letting lose all the sorrow and rage
One look turns a heart to stone
Come close and I'll break a bone
Don't tell me I didn't warn you
I warned all the others too
But they all tried to melt the ice
And I don't play that nice
If you want to try your luck
Don't play it by the book
Surprise me and you might leave alive
It all depends on your will to survive
‘It only takes one' he said
To finally melt the ice, turn your cheeks red
But it seems that one isn't you
I guess I should just wait for someone new

Gamble
It seems to me you stand to lose a lot
When you take a gamble or make a plot
But to others who have called the shots
To them it seems the risks have been forgot
Would I call them fools to act like that?
Acting like they have power, simple aristocrat
Yes I would, in these games all the powers are the same
They seem to forget that little fact, mores the shame
That once they lay their bets down with pride
They realise their intuition has very much lied
As I've said before they stand to lose a lot
Because of the rules they each forgot
