It's an uphill fight to Heaven, In every path that's chosen, A cold and broken world we dwell, Hell has finally frozen. There's nothing ever wrong, But nothings ever right, I am a not a quitter, But I need a break tonight. I used to be a good man, Is there any good left in me, Look deep into my demons, Tell me what you see. Trying to stay clean, Is harder than I thought, It's the hardest fight, That I've ever fought. Just...

The man in the mirror Who’s looking at you He’s wanting to change To start life anew Once life was easy He learned and he played He went off to college His ticket was paid Somehow or another Things went so wrong Never meant it to happen But he knew all along The things that you do The things that you say Can push the people You love far away He just can’t keep going This way anymore Mistakes that he’s made Have become suc...

What if I wrote what nobody read? If nobody read is it completely unsaid? Is what I said better left in my head? These thoughts leave me with nothing but dread. If I sang a song that nobody heard, Would the silence you heard be completely absurd? Is the rhythm and rhyme so obviously deterred, Why do these things always leave me disturbed? What is a dance that nobody sees? Arms and legs waving like a breeze in the trees? A...

Who was watching as the moon rose Who would gather bowls of primrose Just the one whose soul is dreaming That the hopes that still keep streaming Will be raining down upon her If she only lives with honor And accepts the world of beauty Comes to those who follow dutyOaths are made to those they cherish Knowing faith will never perish While the stars continue glowing And the mists of time are growingAs around her faithful...

The smallest ember can start a fire. Flames will leap hot and higher. Engulfed in passion and desire. Her love’s warm glow I will never tire. What begins as the softest breeze. Becomes a tsunami of lustful tease. Her smile lulls me to peaceful ease. And leaves me begging for more.. please? The gentle ebb at ocean’s shore. Will rush the beach in passions roar. She fills my soul to the very core. Always and forever wanting...

If you loved me then But don't love me now Did you really love meAt all. If you touched my heartBut will not touch me nowDid you really touch meAt all. If you gave me your trustBut took it back againDid you really give itAt all. If you cried every nightBut are happy once moreDid you really feel sorrowAt all. If you took all my hopeBut were joyous in lifeDid you really receive me At all. If you looked in my eyesBut saw onl...

I tell myself it's good to let goBut I know I'm fooling myselfRemembering the pain of a love gone wrongTrying to move forward day by dayAs I close my eyes I see the one I once lovedTrying to start a new daySo I look deep into myself Gathering the strength I need I start to put the pain behind meStruggling to start something newI look to my friends for their supportLending me an ear, a hug, or a shoulderEveryday being a ne...

I would say  That I could turn the darkest skies  The brightest blue.  And, maybe  When you were younger,  Your feet unsteady,  You would have believed that I could.  But, I am powerless.  All that I have is  The strength of my love,  The length of my arms,  The power of my intentions,  My ability to give. I fail many times,  Fall short of your ideals,  But I also rise up  From darkness  To light  For you. I realize I am...

Things haven't been going well since Mom died one year ago today.A big part of me died with her when she passed away.For the last 365 days, I've been going through Hell.Everybody who knows me, knows that things aren't going well.One day before Mom's death, there were two things that I decided to give her.A stuffed Easter bunny and a card and they were buried with her.Life hasn't been easy because I've been to Hell and bac...

I walked on the beach today, Thinking of you, As the waves crashed My heart soared I smiled to myself Still remembering your whispers The words of a lover Giving his heart and soul Your touch on my body Your breath in my ear A love so giving Full of passion and no fear As I walked further The sun in my eyes I was blinded by the rays Not words of those who chastise You speak of tomorrow's Our future so bright Our present i...

Blindsided once more, at my own hand Replacing solace with frustration.Journeying backwards to never, never land.Pathway chosen, self condemnation. Confidence exchanged for uncertainty.Rose-colored specks misplaced.Powerless it seems, to dispel adversity.Joy's, substituted for pure toxic waste. Traveling theses well trodden trails.Stranger I am not, I don't need a chart.Familiar with all theses poignant tails.I know the w...

I am Your precious dream Your greatest fear Your harshest foe I am The air you breathe The gasp for more The struggle within I am Your happiest minute Your saddest hour Your endless agony I am The purest cleansing rain The scorched earth beneath The blind road ahead I am The sun, the moon, the stars The thickest fog on darkest night The ray of light between the drapes I am The song in your head The dance you never had The...

Rambling rovers we may well beThe world is ours to roam, you seeTo spend our lives in ecstasyEnjoying life so gay and free. That was the map we made beforeTo travel wide from shore to shoreAnd open every secret doorEach hidden path we would explore. The future may be blocked by fateAnd something might just close the gateYour given span may be too straitTomorrow's plan may come too late. Live now and know that you have won...

I am here for so many hours in a day, Why don't you reach out in some kind of way.A phone call or a text seem rather nice,You seem rather cold, your mood like ice.I am always doing nice things for you,I'm starting to get sad again and feeling blue.I know you are busy with your job,You come across like a total snob.I have feelings and often feel sad,I'm at my boiling point and now I am mad.I feel you feel very comfortable...

As the words “It’s over” Still play over and over in my head I raise my hand to the window In an effort to touch you one last time. Watching as you get in your truck Close the door without looking back. I feel tears run down my face As I remember the silliness The fun times shared with friends To the moments of great passion. Wondering now if these memories Will haunt me forever.
