Chasing Silhouettes

Open my eyes
You try to see these
Tears that I hide
Yet they burn my skin
My patience
Growing weary and thin

Fires are meant to burn
Mine does even through the rain
Drenched in tears of the wind
And engulfed in the flames

I've been chasing silhouettes
I've been trying to forget
The pain and the tears
Wish on a shooting star
'Cause you couldn't be that far
No matter where you are
I'll never forget you

Days drag by
Close to the ground when
Used to be able to fly
All I see is red
With these
Dazed feelings in my head
Sometimes I wonder when
You'll come back
When I'll see you again

Fires are meant to burn
Mine does even through the rain
Drenched in tears of the wind
And engulfed in the flames

Shadows of empty dreams
Shadows of empty streets
Shadows of hills and trees
Shadows of the old me

I've been chasing silhouettes
I've been trying to forget
The pain and the tears
Wish on a shooting star
'Cause you couldn't be that far
No matter where you are
(never forget you)
I've been looking everywhere
Wondering if you even care
I've been following yor silhouette
On the sun
The chase has begun
And you left me
Oh so far away
Waiting for the day
When you say
Yes it's true
I love you

In Bits & Pieces

I miss the beating of your heart. Carrying your hurt, Anything & everything, Now I'm cold & alone. Ticking away, wishing you'd call me your home.

When Mrs Was Miss # 5

How can I sleep when the reason to wake is gone Why would I pray when the reason to hope is gone When could I forget when the reason to remember is gone.

Perfect Place

In a perfect place, You would be here. There would be peace; No danger near. You would call me honey, Maybe sweetie, or dear. My heart wouldn't ache, Nor would I fear.

Wasted

Right from the start. I believed in your heart. We were hardly apart. It seems time won't tell. If a rebellious swell. Brings dreaded farewell. All is lost, I am sure. Cannot be like before.

Left For Dead

A heart full of sorrow, A bird void of song, When you left, you broke my heart, Now it's all gone wrong. A light that has gone out, A house that's fallen down, I know that I've lost you.

A Goodbye

Would we have imagined that it would end like this. Lay down beside me. It is our last kiss. Please just let it be.
