The World

When I first met you,
I already knew,
The future laid soon,
So tangled in swoon.

I quickly came to find,
Something I thought was left behind,
The visions of ecstasy,
Were right inside of me.

When you came into my life you comforted my denial,
When I was sad you found a way to make me smile,
When I lost all hope you were more than enough,
When I felt alone you showed me love.

I never thought I'd make it this far,
Before you taught me who you are,
You gave me the faith I needed bad,
There was no waste of time with you I had.

And with time I rejuvenated my heart,
Filling its void you gave me a start,
I can never let go of those moments we shared,
For it to end I'll never be prepared.

When you came into my life you comforted my denial,
When I was sad you found a way to make me smile,
When I lost all hope you were more than enough,
When I felt alone you showed me love.

I can't go on without you in my life,
Through the years I'll take no less then my wife,
As while to the world you are only one girl,
But to this boy you remain the world.

My Forever

Just know one thing,
That even as we get older,
I will never cut away the last string,
I hang on to this string because to me its not over.

I can't give up on hope,
Or hope will give up on me,
Sometimes its better to just cope,
So that hope can stay free.

And as you forget me I remember,
That the memory is what holds us together,
And nothing can take away that December,
Nor will you ever take away my forever.

The Complexity of Simplicity

We are all looking for answers,
Searching for a moment's reprieve,
And as seconds turn to hours,
We realize nothing's that easy.

There's nothing that is quite perfect,
The pieces don't always quite fit,
So we always try to word it,
But the words are far too simple.

The abstract concepts echo soft,
While the thought is so much stronger,
The reason seems so very feeble,
For paragraphs are too basic.

But ideas are rather robust,
And beliefs weigh much heavier,
But the strongest force is emotion,
There is nothing quite as complex.

No matter how much we invest,
The words cannot ever express,
The true meaning behind the word,
The sentences aren't that stable.

So while we are looking for answers,
We can't truly ask the right questions,
As we never can quite account for,
The complexity of simplicity.

Carvings

I sit right here on your table,
And you would never know my fear,
I no longer am fine and able,
I feel my time is drawing near.

As the blade penetrates my skull,
I seem to be losing my head,
Why use a dagger so dull,
Prolonging the misery you embed.

Pulling off my top,
And reaching deep inside,
Please won't you stop,
Before you take my pride.

Now you slowly pull out my heart,
My hope to bring life to a new field,
You tear every last bit apart,
Before you finally yield.

As you return my lid,
I finally think we've found peace,
But there you are to further rid,
Me of yet another piece.

As the knife pierces my skin,
I see you etching me a new face,
Changing who I am once again,
The old me is now gone with a trace.

You carved me until you were content,
I just wish you would finally learn,
That I never wanted you to make me different,
Because I was never supposed to be your jack-o-lantern.

Still Burning

It's time to resurrect,
The time has come to redissect,
Who are you to say it's over,
We need a new heart order.

Put an end to the chaos consuming,
In the air we breathe there's poison looming,
A taste of bad blood to be removed from thy tongue,
Let's rewind back 'til we are young.

Once again our paths emerge,
Running together our powers surge,
Why fight the feeling born in every beat,
I no longer can resist the heat;

The fire in my soul is still burning,
And all this time I've been learning,
That these flames are eternally blue,
My heart keeps telling me I need you.

Am I loud and clear,
As I sing through the year,
About the memories of us,
Still fresh in my mind yet coated in rust.

Do they still resonate brightly,
Locked inside your dreams tightly,
The way they used to hold us together,
Last time I checked it was still forever.

Yet once again our paths emerge,
Running together our powers surge,
Why fight the feeling born in every beat,
I no longer can resist the heat;

The fire in my soul is still burning,
And all this time I've been learning,
That these flames are eternally blue,
My heart keeps telling me I need you.

I seriously am curiously wondering why you left,
I checked the records to make sure you were the theft,
The results are conclusive, I have no where left to run,
I can't deny that you will always be the one;

So let's rewrite these pages,
Give our own words to the ages,
Glue the binding so we hold up strong,
The way it should have been all along.

Where once again our paths emerge,
Running together our powers surge,
Why fight the feeling born in every beat,
I no longer can resist the heat;

The fire in my soul is still burning,
And all this time I've been learning,
That these flames are eternally blue,
My heart keeps telling me I need you.

I'm changing up the way I see and now,
I've concluded that there is no how,
Just a meaning lying deep within,
That it is in the ending that we will finally begin.

I can hear your heavens calling just for me,
In this beautiful release;
No more walking, talking, living, breathing,
Without any light in our eyes gleaming.

Displaying the fire in my soul still burning,
Showing all that I've been learning,
Here and now you'll see me inside,
Forever taking my place here, by your side.
