Desperation

Things misunderstood for what they are
Can be wounded and left with a scar
Misinterpreted gestures are made unseen
Of all the hopes of a single dream
Keeping things locked up inside
Of all the truths that want to hide
Simple words are hard to say
She wishes that they could stay
Nowhere to turn she fled
With troubling things left within her head
Seeing things that would make haste
A good mind that goes to waste
Paying dearly for her sin
Undying love from within
Paining feelings trouble her heart so much
Longing for this one and only touch
Out of happiness and all for lack of love
She hopes to be free as a dove
Knowing nothing more or any less 'til then
Will she stay in the darkness of the den
This spirit was meant to defend
What broken hearts shall mend

Teardrops

Teardrops falling
down my cheeks
For I am
very sad

We used to be
together
And then we drew
apart

Why cause me
all this pain
Why should you
even care

You didn't even
notice
Tears running down
my cheeks

*1994*

Next to You

Freedom is life's best thing
Next to Advice you bring
Crying in all despair
Yet, you're always there

Thoughts cross my mind
Faces that I hid behind
Facing things with all fear
Trembling not for you are near

*1994*

Someday

I think of you
every minute
I dream of you
every night
I've wanted you
upon first meeting
I can't have you
you're so far away
I wish you'd
stay by my side
I'm crazy for you
and know not why
I see you but,
you're not here
I'll go insane
over the suspense
I only have you
on my mind
I'll be with you
someday
Someday
I'll have you

*1993/1994*

Wasn't Meant

If I only knew
that our love was true
We'd still be together
but, I guess we'll never know
I wish it hadn't ended
because I still love
But, it wasn't meant to be
Goodbye for now

*1993/1994*

Seeing

I saw the pain
in your eyes
That look
it couldn't lie

I saw the tears
ready to fall
When you passed me
in the hall

I saw your smile
slowly fade away
Was it because
I could not stay

I saw life
in the simplest way
Seeking joy
day after day

I saw things
no-one else could
But, it didn't mean
that I should

*1993-1994*
