Simple Things

So surprised
So taken back
How could I
Turn my back on you like that

I promised you one thing
That I'll always, always be there
Through all your faults
All your thoughts
All your dreams
And all my heart, all those simple things you are

I could never make the sun shine
Except for a few days in your eyes
And it is for that
That daily drives my mind

I never considered myself lucky
And now I feel it endlessly
And all I want is you
happiness, endlessly for you

I promised you one thing
That I'll always, always be there
Through all your faults
All your thoughts
All your dreams
And all my heart, all those simple things you are

Because When We Touch

If he moved you
The way I move you
I'd move time
I'd change everything

When he watches you
When he comes begging at your door
Like a fool playing his game
He has trouble keeping strait your name

You're a priestess
Come save my soul, this creation
All my needs found empty
You're taken
Don't break it all in this fashion

Because when we touch
Time slows down and you hold your breath
Because when we touch
You smile with true happiness

You seem a dream
A matter formed of angels
I am propelled by wheels of passion
When transfixed by your attention

If I could break down these walls that lovers make
So I could scream your name at Heaven's gate
Even if Hell's fire is a step away
I'd still say I am still in love

He won't care for you this way
He'll mistreat you if you stay
He'll never love you
How I love you

Because when we touch
Time slows down and you hold your breath
Because when we touch
You smile with true happiness

For Adrienne

Spent five years building a trust
For it all to be pushed aside
Like standing in a once lavish room
Now alone, holding only dust

She would say
I can see us
Building our house in early spring
Watching grandkids
Play on the back yard swing
Feeding ducks when we are old and grey
Watching the summer sun slowly fade away

How to start over
Where does it all become normal again
Tired of sleeping with tears in her eyes
And whispers as she rolls over

I can see us
Building our house in early spring
Watching grandkids
Play on the back yard swing
Feeding ducks when we are old and grey
Watching the summer sun slowly fade away

To see her now
And oh how she fights
She is becoming who she once was
A free spirit twirling in a cotton gown

Make this life your own
Take what you need
Leave the rest
And learn from what you've been shown

Words

I am going to ride this train
Out of your life again
I wish that I could stay... forever

But more than this I wish
You could have seen my face
In the back seat
Staring out the window

I will be coming back
So leave yourself intact
When night falls outside
You'll find me running through your mind

The morning will come
While lying in your sacred place
You'll wake to see
Only my face

In hope and faith I pray
To reach you these words that slip my lips
I'll do anything for you
This story is for you

Loss For Words

For the first time in a long time I am at a loss for words. I feel like writing, but can't find the words to paint my mind. And its so frustrating having so much on my mind. And it all seems to be that nothing I feel pulls at me at all.
