A Reason To Smile

A Reason To Smile

I know
I’m meant to grow old
With the girl I love
I can feel it in my bones
My heart
Most importantly
In my soul

It’s why I get up every morning
And why I go to sleep
With a smile on my face

Don't Leave Her

Don’t Leave Her

Don’t make her cry
When you ask her why
She loves you
The way she does

And don’t let go
Because some days
You don’t know
But deep down
You really do
And she knows it
Just like you

So kiss her every night
Before you turn off the light
And make sure you
Hold her tight

But most important
Never leave
Because hearts will heave

So don’t think about that
Next step you take
Because it’ll be your
Biggest mistake

Tonight's Destiny

Tonight’s Destiny

That’s impossible to do
For me to love you
After all this
Who knew the one girl
I miss

Most would be you

But this is before
I knew
You would change your ways
In the few short days

That lay ahead

And even though
Each night
We shared the same
Bed
I had that one thought
That feeling in my
Head

That one day
Someway
Maybe you and me
Weren’t meant
To be

And as sad as that
Sounds
It doesn’t take away the
Pounds
Of my heart in the silence each
Night
And even though we would never
Fight

This love was something
I wanted with all my
Might

But it was all

Destined
To end
Tonight

A Loving Voice

A Loving Voice

Please don’t

Place those thoughts

In my head

Of how I want you

In my bed

But each night

It’s a fight

To love you

To hate you

Miss you

I’ll forgive you

And as the sun creeps in

It brings new hope

That hopefully

Isn’t shattered

By your voice

The same voice

I fell in love with

In Your Heart

In Your Heart

Last night
Sleeping with you
Felt like forever
Felt like a lifetime
Lying next to you

I didn’t have much space
Or covers
Somehow they end up
On your side
It always happens

But I was ok
Because I had all the space
I needed
In your heart

I didn’t sleep much

You did
Peaceful
Quiet
And safe

Even though I tossed and turned
I was happy
Because
You were safe in my arms
And I was fast asleep
In your heart

And when I wake
The next morning
Shave and straighten my tie
Out the door
But not before a kiss
On my cheek
From you

And as I leave
I know one thing
I’ll always be
Forever
In your heart

True Life Love

True Life Love

And I could never
Act the part
They
He
Or she
Even plays in the
Movies

The moves
Looks
Or just the part

They fall in love
For a living
This scene
To the
Next

But only to
Lie
Because
It’s just a
Movie
A figment
Of what we see
The real world
Or how ours
Should mimic

And we foolishly
Go looking
Searching
Our lives
Wasting time
To find
Something
Or anything
Close to
What

He
She just
Showed us
Hope of
Having

In love
But to cut it
Off
Down
After
“End Scene”

Success
In the box office
But not
In the bed room

Confused
Lost
Give up

Or search
Knowing
It’s
There’s a chance
It’s
There’s hope
That
It’s
It’s out there

It is
I found it
I found her

In His Arms

In His Arms

Lying in bed

Next to her

A night out

A night that ran out

Of good times

And good

Fortunes

In bed

Larger than before

Larger than a twin

To hold

Two souls

Soul mates

Closer than a twin bed

Could ever achieve

But with the passing seconds

Of the night

The closer he held her

The further away

He felt

The bed was

Growing

Further separating

Him from her

A terrible dream

A thought

To watch it all

Happen

Right then

And there

Only to wake up

And she’s still there

Where he left her

Last

In his arms

The Woods Are Dark

The Woods Are Dark

I ran through
The woods
I ran through
The woods
To meet you
In the late
Hours
Of the night

A fairy tale story
I have to
Save
You from the
Demons
Of your life

The demons
You loose
Sleep
Over it
I lose sleep
Over
Not seeing you

The woods
Are dark
As they
Can hide
Us
And what we
Have
Until morning
Comes
And exposes us
As the sun breaks
The horizon

We depart
At the last
Second
Possible
Before
We are found
Out
We go back
To our
Normal lives
Thinking
Dreaming
Hoping
Praying

That the next
Night
Will be the
Night
I defeat
Your demons

And we watch
The sunrise
Together
For once
And forever

Unlikely Situations

Unlikely Situations

What the
Fuck
Shit
What do I
Myself
Get into
These days

Deeper
And deeper
Which each day
Into situations
Unlike
Before
But similar
In nature

Swearing
Upon
Myself
At myself
For this
Actions
Never to be
Achieved
Routes
Never to be
Taken
Again

I thought

But grow
Up
They say
Someday
It will be
Ok

A mark
A line
In my arm
Or just a
Thought
An idea
In my mind
I make it up

A deadly
Reminder
Of why
I don’t
Want to
Anymore

Pushing
And pulling
Everyday
In a direction
I don’t know
Anymore

Fight
Or
Flight
It feels good
But
Do these things
Last
I’ve learned
From the past

I’ve never
Experience
Things like this
And
While the past
Kills
It drills
In my head
I’ve never
Been in
This territory
Before

Unexplored
And
Undefined
What or where
I am

Today
Tomorrow
Is good
For now
Because I know
A few things

The future
Will hold more
Of the same
I hope
Or more
Of better
I hope for
More

But I’m not
Hard
Yet
Easy to please
On some
Including
All days

Please me
Don’t
But
Tease me

Damn
I got myself
Into
A situation
I try to avoid
Run away from
Destroy

But
It’s only
The best
Situation
I could
Ever get
Myself into

No Turning Back

No Turning Back

Tonight
I miss her

As I can’t
Sleep
It happens more often
Than not

Each day
I’m with her
I fall deeper and
Deeper in love
Head over heels
There’s no turning back
Now

I don’t want to
Turn back

I only want to
Move forward
With her
This
Us
Right now

Make something amazing
Create something
Only

Her and I
Can do

Drain Slip Away

Drain Slip Away

A love
But to watch it slip
Away like grasping for ice
Constantly slipping away

Watch it fade
Away
Down the drain
Until the last drop
Of hope
Of love
Disappears

That separated life
Love
To be loved
And everything
Horrible
Fear

Back to an empty tub
Just plain
Slippery ice

Hopelessness
Emptiness
Alone

A badge worn
Before with pride
And satisfaction
Now worn
Only in shame

To have it all
Perfect
Solid
And in
Love

But then
To watch it all

Drain
Slip
Away

Absolute Only

Absolute Only

And with
Mistakes made
Lessons learned
People met
I’ve only
Had one
One worth
Something
Anything
Everything
To me
And its
The world
To know
Going to bed
With a feeling
Next to someone
Only to wake up
With the same
Feeling
And to hold on
Never let go
For this
She means
The
Absolute
World
If she only
Knew
