        She looks into his eyes and time slows to a crawl His eyes try to avoid her gaze, his hands clench to a ball He knows the words that are coming all too well Their relationship was a class and she was ringing the bell It was his fault and he knew it…

    You tired?  Me too.  Let the tears fall. You hurt?   Me too.  Let the tears fall. Reached your limit?  Me too.  Let the tears fall. Don’t trust men?  Well I don’t trust women.  Let the tears fall. You won’t go through it again?  Me either.  Let the tears fall. You want to be happy?  Me…

    The First Step I’ve run it through my mind a million different times Rearranged the words into a million different rhymes It still sounds good and makes sense so why not act? The theory has been proven so why not take it as fact? Is it doubt that stays my feet preventing my step? Or…

    The Stanger Our eyes caught each other while I write things down I looked for an expression, a smile, surprise or frown Even Though I fight it I’m forced to stare again I really didn’t want to, it wasn’t part of my plan Again I end up staring, continuing the search for my prize What…

    Scaredy Cat My lifelong pet who grew pretty fat through the years On a diet of worry, uncertainty, and fears You watch me move toward dreams and aspirations With a disapproving look, you cause me hesitations I wish you would just leave and run away Disappear altogether and become a stray My actions betray my…

    Where Were You When I Needed You? Where were you when I needed you? When my heart fell apart and I needed the glue When I stood cold and alone You didn’t answer your phone When nothing seemed to dull the pain I sat and I cried and sobbed your name I needed you bad,…

    Leave Her Alone “Just leave her alone” The thoughts run though my head again You have plenty reason and logic to make your stand All you have to do is just get up and walk thru that door And never come back, and you won’t have to feel like this anymore But as I make…

    Life Seasons Life happens like the cycles of seasons And things happen in it for many different reasons When you are young its summer and you have lots of fun But summers turns to fall and its all done For the summer was your youth were you learned and played away your days But you…

    He started off with such promise A gentleman who never broke a promise But like fresh snow, his heart was destined to be tainted Like a pure canvas destined to be painted The first was a girl he only wanted to rescue A damsel in distress, a love that twisted his heart eskew She needed…
