Forever wanting
Forever needing,
Just a little bit...

The Power Of Your BeautyI tried to ask you a question,
But I can't remember what it was.

My mind was filled with fuzz.

Why Did You LeaveMy beautiful wife, my world,
Why did you do this? Why leave?

If Only I Wasn’t the ThornI wish you stars, but not the darkness they need to shine.
I wish you clouds, but not the tears they pour.
I wish you roses, but never their thorns.
And I wish you love–
but not me.

When the leaves fall; The ache of letting goAs autumn came to claim the leaves from my strands,
Its breeze swirled around my bark and branches,
A threat, ready to seclude the foliage from my hands.
I was too stubborn to release the leaves from my...

Ease Her PainI could see she was broken,
It was so easy to tell.
The look in her eyes
Said her life had been hell.

When dark and silence fill the air
Into a fireplace I stare
Alone and sitting in my chair
Wishing you were with me there
An afghan warms...

I have been diligently struggling
The top of the mountain is called bliss
My eyes scotched to it
I keep trying to reach its peace
Yet, I could not anticipate myself
Breaking into pieces, tearing myself up

So huge they might be clouds held tightly in valleys of fearful...
