Dewdrop TearsYou've got dewdrop tears
    and sunlit hair.
A whispered glow
    from one more year...

I've seen you here
    with all your fears.
A starbright heart
  cause he's so near...

You know you're all
    that I can hear.
These are the words,
   You'll read, so fair.

Cure found in SilenceSilence is the cure,
and the most deadly poison,
for a broken heart.

Stolen MeaningWords are just
Letters scratched on a page,
Void of information.

Until you've found them:
Locked up in my heart.
I stole it all away

It's how I see the sunrise,
On the other side of the ocean.
And how I smell sunrain.

Words left unsaidone.

I wish you could see that you aren't empty. You're not worthless. But everytime you say it, you just forget a little bit more. I can't hold you up forever. I won't always be around.

[You have to learn to live your own life, I can't keep doing it for you]

two.

I still remember those sun drenched days, and starry nights. I still remember your voice, and the words we used to say. And sometimes I still remember the regret and pain. I try not to, but I can't help it. I prayed for you the other night. I wish you weren't so gone, even when you're not.

[How can so much regret remain?]

nightsky dreams and

echoes of wisdom
found in the emptiness
between the stars:
beginnings of a definition
of who someone ought to be.

Is there any power in a name?

Immortal _Collab_They said flying is easy,
When you can't die;
It's just drowning in a pastime,
burning in addiction.

I'm sick sicksick
Of this never ending li(f)e

I'm almost scared
to check my pulse...
who knew a heart
could beat so long?

[I know yours doesn't]

You're just empty like
A barren field.
Piano key ribcage and
Silver lined veins
Is this what we've become?

This isn't what I meant
When I said we'd last forever.

ImagineI could imagine
the whispers in my ears,
and the breath on my shoulder.
I can hear the sound
of breathingbeatingslumberinghearts
and I can feel the heat
of another person holding onto me.

but what good does that do,
if i'm by myself?
Well, for the moment I'm alone.
and now i know it.

Rewind TimeI gaze into your
crystalline eyes and
wish I could turn back the
clock
to the time when
you loved me
as much as I loved
you.

(but you always say that clocks
can't be turned back.
I wonder
if you're right.)

Malicious smiles and
greedy words;
you're not the person
you started out
to be.
I miss
who you were
before this all went
downhill.

I never noticed before now
but I miss the
sweet whispers of,
"I love you,"
and your eyes;
your beautiful eyes.

Rewinding time
would be so much easier
than all this regret
I keep pent up inside
and all the memories
I force myself
to lock away.

What is Love?What is love
But the baffled
Words of the fool
Who can't imagine?

What is love
But the wrong
Sided look
At a broken world?

What is love
Except for holding
Your breath,
Then drowning?

What is love
But a single
Moment where
It all falls apart?

This is love,
When everything's
Broken, but
We're still here.

This is love,
That we have
No record
Of all the past

This is love,
That we see
Into the heart
And ask anyways.

This is love
That we dance
On the winds
And sing with the dawn

Maybe love is
nothing

But maybe love is
everything

Free WishesWishes are wasted
On regrets, and fears.
Words are lost
In the shadow's found here:

We can't unsay,
And we'll never undo
The whispered lies
And halftruths unwanted.
The unmeant crimes
Of our fearful hearts.

We're just broken people
With broken voices
And hearts that stopped
Ticking three years ago.
We're all just as
Messed up as the poor man
Who stands on the corner,
Waiting for forgiveness.

But can't we see?
We've been set free.

SeashellsWhy is it,
That locked away
In the bowels of
A little seashell
We can hear the ocean,

But I can't hear
My heart,
Locked away
Inside of me?

What makes shells
So beautiful,
And my silence
So devastating?

Where do
All these roads lead,
And why do seashells
Mark the bitter
Path from
Shore to shining shore?

What I ThinkYou're the little light
At the end of my day,
The dance of strange tomorrows
In a never ending world.
And the lost one waiting
For that guiding flight.

You're the girl who has it all
And yet has nothing
Because she never really looks.
And you're the one who sings
Sweetly in your soul
In words beyond all memory.

You're all that you'll ever be
And some will never see.
Someday maybe you will.
Won't you?

You're wounds burning with
The lemonjuice of sorrow,
Yet your heart dances
With a sacred love
That glows beyond eternity.

So won't you just wake up?
And see the world you're in.
It's not as bad,
And is much worse
That you

Shadow HeartsThe promise of love:
Whisper of a lonely dream.
Shadows in your heart

Life and LoveThe thing about life,
Is no one understands it
Once the moment's passed.

the thing about love,
Is that it's always worth it
Until it's over.

Can't you see?I'm the brother with the hard shoulder
Wishing maybe it'd get a little colder.
Can't you see? Can't you see?

I'm the girl with the stone cold eyes,
Tired of all those prying lies.
Can't you see? Can't you see?

I'm the boy with the bloodthirst heart
Wondering why we'll never start.
Can't you see? Can't you see?

I'm the student with the empty stare
Whispering sick nothings to nobody out there.
Won't you see? Won't you see?

I'm the friend with the broken arms,
Pondering what happened to all of my charm
Won't you see? Won't you see?

I'm the one who's holding out stark,
Glistening in the silver moondark.
Don't you see? Don't you s

I'm finding myselfI'm finding myself

In your presence I'm finding myself
At a loss for words with all to much to say...
The echo of your voices,
The waterfall of music through the songs
That we've sung together so very many times.
All your ways about me show
That there really is that place we seek
In the quiet, in the place of Him, who lives above
The wisdom accounted to you from
The realms of the heavenly,
It springs like a river from you to me,
And I listen to all your thoughts and words
Wondering how I could not have seen that before
When you speak in such a place as this,
With a heart for Him we love together,
I am moved to seek him more an

Empty HandsEmpty hands are coming towards me,
Singing songs of sorrow in a heavy tune
Burning fire, it comes to set my heart alight
And spread the ash to scatter on the wind.

But I shall cry out into the wind,
Let my voice echo and be heard on high
Seeking and yearning forever I'm learning
Seeing your face upon the stary sky.

The music drowns out all my thought
Noise and chatter creeping louder
Screaming horrors in my soul
Pulling my down, lower and lower again

But I shall stare, with silence in my words
The wordless shall cast off the mists,
Let their hearts be free to sing in silence
And in song, they will rejoice with me

Alone I stand

I'm still your friendWhere did this come from?
What made you think this way?
Sometimes we're lost, but that's ok
The darkness cannot overcome.
I will stand by you till the end
Even when I'm lost and afraid
For God is with me, and He's with you
Can't you open your eyes and see?

You say that no one loves you,
When all the time I keep telling you the truth
Your my friend, even to the shadowed end
I don't care what you say
Or that "Your all alone now"

Your heart is true, but let it see
Open your eyes and hear with ears
That the love inside comes from above
I've been so mistaken, and I should have seen,
But sometimes we just don't understand
That God

But I'm just letters,
That you'll never see.
I'm just words typed
On a blank screen,
The shining bright white
Staring back at me.

Numbers dialing nowhere
Won't reach me,
And whispered "iloveyous"
On the radio signal
Can't reach into
The Faraday cage that
I call my heart.

Cause I'm just a deaf man,
Lying on the backstreet,
Hoping there is no one
Mistaking me for dead:
But you've known
That's all I am inside.

Just because we don't actually hear each other or see each other speak does not mean that there is no love or friendship...that's my response to my interpretation, at least.
