Simple and Sweet

simple and sweet is a beautiful sunset
all the colors swirl around me
i am finding my zen again

days can drag on until years have disappeared
my memories play tricks on me
i get stuck in yesterdays and i miss
living the tomorrows

i lost my place but i'm slowly getting back on track
i was letting life lead me
now i'm ready to take the lead
i am with the program now

simple and sweet is a baby's laugh
all of list has to offer surrounds me
i am me again!

The Way

what's on my mind i can't find. all these lonely nights wash away my humanity. i've ceased to live. i am narrow. i am closed. i am exiled. and it's only marginally self-imposed.

the way my eyes see you everywhere. the way i hear your voice distantly through the air. the way i wanted a good life with you but only the bad remains.

i've dug a pit of pity deeper then i've ever known. i sink lower into it's depths with every sunset. people think i'm transparent but only i know i'm a brick wall lined with lead. not even superman can see how broken i am.

the way my dreams revolve around you. the way my heart skips a beat when i look at a picture of you. the way i had it all, a brief taste of heaven but now hell is where i live.

it's funny how the world collapses in on you. one day you're up and the next you're upside down. i built hopes to dizzying heights & when i fell, i fell so hard i shattered into nothingness.

the way your eyes danced when you laughed at me. the way i adored your hands and the magic they had against my skin. the way i hid to survive, but it's taking me longer then i guessed to get over you.

the way i once knew is all a story to tell that begins once upon a time i was in love and now i'm not and that's just the way it is.
