Certainty

It's early in the morning,
The world's asleep,
The shadows are warning,
Of the things the dark may keep.

I was taught to fear the unclear,
Certainty is my only friend,
I found it so hard to persevere,
When doubt made me pretend.

Lurking  in every crevice,
Is another hole in the premise,
I'm living in a place of pretense,
Without any confidence.

The only things I know about honesty,
Are all the lies that I believed,
Every book I read looking for some truth,
Only to find an answer lacking proof.

Now I question every little thing,
I can't tell my left from right,
Searching for a clue of what to bring,
To discover the difference between day and night.

When I look into your eyes I try to see,
As I'm trying to figure out how I feel,
How do I know what is happening to me,
For once in my life, I have found something real.

In Black and White

We are only two kids in seek of play,
Under our lids we try to find the way,
Walking the path in search of something new,
Doing the math to decide what to do.

Maybe our courses will be intertwined,
According to my sources you're on my mind,
Like a song on repeat this fixation
Strikes along my heart strings with vibration.

So don't turn back, just keep looking forward,
If you will relax I will steer us toward
A ridge where we can just live out our time,
Under a bridge or roof, your hand in mine.

It does not matter where we spend our day,
The social ladder won't keep us at bay,
If we're together all will be just grand,
No matter the weather we will still stand.

All these memories that we are making,
Will be more than enough to stop shaking,
Believe me when I say each and every word,
I know that sometimes it all sounds absurd.

I know sometimes I'm right sometimes I'm wrong,
In black and white maybe I'm too headstrong,
But I swear I seek just to show you love,
All I care is that you keep this feeling of.

Through the Good Ugly and Bad

There's something I've been meaning to say,
These lips don't move easy,
You're off asleep two hundred miles away,
But I wish you were here with me.

This is our story, not our fairy tale,
It's up to us to write the ending,
You can change it for me, we can prevail,
So our smiles can stop pretending.

I feel it fluttering in my stomach,
Emerging through my throat,
From my heart erupts this limerick,
Into these words I wrote:

I'll show you good times and I'll show you bad,
I'll write you rhymes, the best you've ever had,
I'll hold you tight yet gently like a dove,
Each and every night I'll show you more love.

I'm trying to add one and two,
I'll piece us together,
In love and faith we'll find glue,
So we can be forever.

You're perfect for me I swear it,
I'd give you the world but you deserve much more,
My heart is yours to free, if you will bear it,
I want you baby girl, as the only one I adore.

I feel it fluttering in my stomach,
Emerging through my throat,
From my heart erupts this limerick,
Into these words I wrote:

I'll show you good times and I'll show you bad,
I'll write you rhymes, the best you've ever had,
I'll hold you tight yet gently like a dove,
Each and every night I'll show you more love.

Even though we are far away,
The distance won't keep me at bay,
I swear that I will be the best you've ever had,
Through the good, ugly, and bad.
