Dry Ice

And so you burned it all to ashes

You let the fire blaze

You trampled upon your wreckage

You melt in sorrow, vain

They broke you into pieces

The fleeting thoughts that came and vent

With every ounce of guilt assumed

They did you in real good

So you walked along that sullen edge

Reluctant to pick a side

And there you remained, wounded and cold

A smile, a sparkling eye

The imminent began to rise

And responsibility led you on

You made the choice to climb off that edge

And into darkness you trod

Your dreary thoughts sung louder

The dampness sinking deep

You tried to run to find the warmth

But darkness left it unseen

You wandered far, being pursued each step

But far enough you couldn’t get

So you reached within and yanked it out

Your eternal life-living death

You fell apart upon that edge

And over into storm

You dropped and drifted into life

Yet seeming dead and gone

And day by day you seek that shore

The chance once more to breathe

But kicking and flailing in disobedience

You’re caught in the undertow

So from fire to ice you’ve now become

And melt upon this dirt

Drop by drop you lose yourself

And sink into the earth

She feeds on you and drinks you up
Leaving you parched and dry
And in the numbness of your thirst
You slowly e v a   p    o    r    a    t    e

Lock Diaries Never Judge

Lock diaries never judge when you break someone’s heart,

Rip their lives apart,

Leave them lost in the dark.

Lock diaries never judge when you lie or cheat,

When you cry all night

Like a little hypocrite.

Lock diaries never yell, never argue, never scoff

At your weaknesses and failures,

At your dark little secrets.

Lock diaries never judge when you try to make friends,

When you try to make amends

With those who hurt and use you,

And walk all over you,

With gentle little steps and the charm

Of a best friend.

Lock diaries only listen, only read,

Only lay their lives down for you,

Soak up the tears and anger,

And confusion within.

Not a single word of doubt,

No anger or frustration,

Only loyalty and comfort from the

Turmoil within.

Lock diaries never judge,

When you’re pushed to the breaking point

No guilt or withdrawal,

They never leave your side.

Cry You A River Of Love

If I cried right now and let it all pour out,
There’d be a river of love,
Joining me to you.

If I shout and scream and sing out loud,
I’d be telling them all,
How much you mean to me.

And if my walls could speak they’d whisper to you
My secret and tell you how I’ve been
Yearning for you.

Because my darling, in spite of my ugly mistakes,
I still hold you up, admire your beauty,
And love you, from the depths of my heart and soul.

So let me cry you a river, from my heart to yours,
So I can swim to you this Christmas,
My darling, I’m all yours.

He Keeps Me Sane

He keeps me sane, protects me from the addictions
That never were.

He makes me strong, revives me with the air
I couldn’t breath.

He feeds my spirit with laughs
That never cheer.

He fills my heart with cries
He never told.

I hold him dear, with tears
He’ll never know.

Hidden

The Tears That Are Pouring Out Of Me,
The Screams So Loud, They Make Me Bleed.
The Yearning Of Our Thirsty Souls,
Can’t Fight It Anymore.

You Make Me Want To Cry Sometimes,
When You Say So Sweetly, Your Hearts Desire.
And When You Have That Look In Your Eyes,
I Know I’m Ruining You.

I Try To Find A Way Out Of Here,
Running Out Of Things To Say.
I Call Just To Tell How Much I Love You,
And Its Nothing But A Delay.

I’ll Set Aside My Pains For You,
I’ll Open Up My Heart To You,
I’ll Smile Because I’ll Be With You,
Everyday Of Our Lives.
