Call Her Emotionally paralyzed
Look into her eyes you will find a map leading to her pain
listen to her voice you will hear the hidden guilt driving her insane
you can ask her what is wrong? But I doubt that she will answer
you may think she is not strong but I think you should know better
you may want to be her friend but be aware she does not trust
you can try but I must warn you I don’t promise you much
if you ask her about life, love and hope I know she will say
life will end soon, love already did and hope lives far away
ask her when she last saw the bright yellow sun
ask if she faces her fears or if she decides to cry or run
She will smile and she will be surprised to know the sun shines still
she will also say life's left no energy or tears to run to cry or to will
Ask her how she became who she is but i dont know what she'll reveal
she'll try to escape she'll try to run away because its too painful to feel

I guess we had different plans
You told me it had to end now
you ignored explaining how
you told me nothing will be strange
but you were wrong
I told you everything will change
but i stayed strong
And i said:
i'll remember you when the sun sais goodbye
i'll remember you when the rain does cry
i'll remember you when i see them smile
becuase your what made my life worth every while
you told me it had to be done
you told me you'll think of me when your gone
I wished you a safe journey
though it hurts
then as my teary eye sight

Definition of happiness
ITS A place we have all been to:
a place were difficulties are forgotten
were only joyful events are certain
its a place you cant go to everyday
when you get there not long enough you can stay
a place safe and secure
a shield that deflects any bad thing that could accrue
a place were poise and pride are not neglected
a place were negative thoughts, ideas are not selected
a place far away from here
a place that does not recognize fear
a place that needs along time to get to
yet you arrive and forget any negative thing you have been through
a place that effects so deep
a place were you cant fall asleep
a place that does not exist
yet we have all been there I still insist
a place that’s not defined as a dream or a fantasy
a place that is only called happiness and ecstasy

Love-ache
when I asked my heart, how it is ready, to fall in love again?
And why it is not, asking for my consent? It asked: can anything but love cure the pain. And can a flower, even if possessed by many ever lose it's scent?
When I asked my eyes, how they can admire beauty just yet!
And if it has been, long enough for them to forget! ! They said their last tears have just cleared their sight and that they were now ready to fight. beauty is everywhere they said with hope, admiring it will only help us cope.
When I asked my mind, how it could be thinking of another, this soon! ! It looked at me sad but with a smile of wisdom and said when the sun leaves the stars cheer up the moon! ! My ignorant youth rushes to say: starlights will never threaten the moon in any way. and once again it looked at me sad but with a smile of wisdom and said some stars are shinier than others, and sometimes we have to believe in miracles.

True when false
Where am I its all black around me…?
I can't see I don’t know what surrounds me…
There are voices followed by clearless echoes…
There is a window someone approaches, peaks then goes…
I shout who gives you the right to make me a hostage..
They threaten to throw me off of a bridge…
I kneel, and then put my head against the floor…
I hear footsteps becoming louder they’re near the door…
I look around fast there must be a way out…
As moments pass I had nothing left but doubt…
I Am desperate I sit quietly in the corner…
Messed up feelings mixed up thoughts nothings in order…
The count down begins ten nine eight is it fate…
Feelings are decreasing remains nothing but hate…

A Some One Just For Me
I cant see you but I hope your there
I cant feel you but im sure you care
if your watching over me from above
then you know how much I need your love
BECAUSE
I can use an angel now
to answer my questions and to show me how
to wipe my tears and scare them away
to hold me tight so that then come what may
you must know the sleepless nights I have been through
and that all I need is a saviour or a hero
to count the stars I want to reach and every rock I have climbed
to capture my heart and soul then give me back my mind
BECAUSE
I can use an angel now
to answer my questions and to show me how
to wipe my tears and scare them away

Blood, Guns And Crows
I can see him running through the hall
I can hear him shout and I can hear him call
I can see him rise and I can see him fall
I can see him fly and I can see him crawl
soldier of war, my love through you I feel it all
they ironically wonder why you arrive disturbed
they havent been hunted like a bird
they havent been sacrificed like a sheep herd
they dont know the consequences of what occured
they were here as safe as can be what have they seen or heard
I shall wait untill you arrive
I shall not rest untill you survive
I shall wipe your wounds and tears
I shall scare away your pain and fears
but if the crow visits me in black
leading no one and leaving no track
Ill still act strong untill they have no doubt

When It Hurts The Least
I will leave you with tears crawling down my face
I will leave and it will feel like moving to hell from grace
I will leave because i cannot bear your distance
I will leave because life just wont give us a chance
I will leave knowing i have done everything i could do
I will leave owning nothing but our memories and your photo
I will leave with the last bit of pride left in me
I will leave but first i will unlock my heart and set you free
I will leave and it will tear me apart not looking back
I will leave, wave goodbye and my life will slowly turn black
I will leave knowing i was the luckiest victim of your love
I will leave missing every kiss and touch and all i can no longer have
I will leave but i hope you know i am compelled to
I will leave but i will be devistated as i worshiped you
I will leave though it hurts like mad to be forbidden from your sight
I will leave but your lost reply will kill me when i summon you every night

For the sake of our memories
Don't be deceived by the strength you see in my eyes
or by the perfection you witness in my stance
for when you leave they just rain on me with the skies
while my defeated knees collapse in a glance
your smile used to make my heart rejoice
but I have absorbed it all in the past, it seems
forgive me for the Indifference you hear in my voice
forgive me for obscurely summoning you in my dreams
Don't be mislead, by the height of my shoulders
or the smile you see so frequently
it is merely a mask worn by fearful soldiers
or the remainder of my pride reaching out to me
be wary of the words you are about to use
for words leave scars which are easier to trace
you have always been smart with gestures and clues
you were always able to read the silence in my face

A Missing Chapter
Your Deceiving eyes led me wrong
and now I am, were I should not belong
our eyes are passages to our souls they say
every once a while we let ourselves stray
Loving you is fire; appealing to my eyes
and healing to my desires.
It brings pleasure to my heart but to my fingers pain
and to my memory it is smoke, ashes and stains.
Loving you is magic; which slowly disappears.
It is bewilderness in beauty and sweetness in my tears.
It brings pleasure to my heart, which I haven’t felt in years.
but the unresolved equations, remain as souvenirs
loving you is rain; bringing cure to my thirst.
But to my strong structure, it brings shivers and a curse.
Loving is you like flying over the sky's highest cloud,
as peaceful as it seems its dangerous empty and load.
