Being away from you brings darkness
But the love I hold for you in my heart
Shines a path for my feet
And that path always leads me back to you.

Sometimes I think you are my moon
And I am the ocean
Your rise and fall controls my ebb and flow
You are the perfect half to my equation.

Balancing Together

To all your motivation
I will be your perseverance
To your confidence
I will be the silent strength

To my silent ways
You will be my voice
To my patience
You will be the spur of action.

Together we can face life
Hand in hand
Using one other’s strengths
To carry through anything.

I Love You

You are all I need
Everything I could ever want
You aren’t perfect
Who is?
I’m certainly not
But I don’t expect you to be
You’re perfect for me.

Until my last breath
I will love you
With all that is within me
I make no promises
That I don’t plan on keeping
You make me better
You make me whole
I hope you feel the same.

Fearful

I’m scared
But I can’t let it control me
If it is, it is
But it will break me
Are you looking at me
Or in the rearview mirror?
Will the focus change
When you see what you left behind?
I’m sure it’s childish
I’m sure I’m wrong
But I can’t help but think
What will happen when or if
She is right in front of you
Will you follow again?
Time only tells…

Love Dancing

Ups and downs, twists and turns,
Are we in some kind of dance?
Swaying here with you, my partner
Along this road of our journey
That serves as our dance floor
I can’t help but note different steps
Sometimes we’re in sync
Other times we dance differently
But we never let go
Our bodies may drift apart
But we never let go
We’re always holding on
To one another
It’s the only way we can keep
Our balance while we dance together.

Struggling to Move

I'm stuck
Between missing you
And wanting to move on
To cherish the memories
Without living in the past
To think about the future
Without forgetting your face.

I don't know how
To move from where I am
I wish you were here to guide me
I wish you could tell me
one more time
That you love me
To hear you laugh
Or to see you smile again...

I don't want to forget
But I'm scared
That if I move on
I might.
So I'm fighting where I am
Between pain and promise
Knowing what I have to do
Even if my heart doesn't want to.

Purpose of Tears

When my heart is heavy

And song comes naught

My soul bears its sorrow

Like a flaming iron.

Tears flow like streams

Of hot lava

O'er my burning cheeks

My pain becomes outward.

Are they meant to heal the soul

Or shame the face?

Do they burn to spite

Or purify the heart?

I know not which

I care not which

They flow regardless

Of their purpose.
