You're far away.
I started running before I chose
To look back.
But now a year has passed and we have gone
So far
From where we began that winter night
When I looked into your eyes and saw a light.

Put joy into my hollowed bones,
And here I will make for myself a home.
I'll say I love you even in my sleep,
And I'll smile even when I weep.

Put music into my empty lungs,
And I will go back to when we had just begun.
I will sing to you once again
Only this time of beginnings without ends.

You walked away.
You never saw the light I held
Within my heart.
You were blinded by all the times I fell
Apart.
When darkness fell, I fell too hard;
Shattered into pieces to discard.

Put joy into my hollowed bones,

And here I will make for myself a home.

I'll say I love you even in my sleep,

And I'll smile even when I weep.

Put music into my empty lungs,

And I will go back to when we had just begun.

I will sing to you once again

Only this time of beginnings without ends.

There are days
I wish that you could see me
Dance,
Cuz it took time but I learned
Balance.
What was once under lock and key
I set free.

Now it's time
To move on to a place
I can call mine.
And all the pain, I'll turn it into
Rhyme.
I no longer wish that I could just rewind,
Because I've chosen to leave it all behind.

Put joy into my hollowed bones,

And here I will make for myself a home.

I'll say I love you even in my sleep,

And I'll smile even when I weep.

Put music into my empty lungs,

And I will go back to when we had just begun.

I will sing to you once again

Only this time of beginnings without ends.

Honey, we don't have to pretend

That our beginning will never end.

Will I never get to touch you,

Or say I love you?

Will I never sleep next to you;
Cry with you?

September has come and gone.

He was not the one.

Oh, how I've longed to see your face

Smiling down at mine!

My heart has been so confined

Not being able to touch you.

It's a mystery to me

How the heart can miss

He who it has not seen.

Meet me under starlight

And I will be your midnight.

She shot me in the heart with a gatling gun
Till it was all over the floor and I was done
Bleeding. My heart ripped to shreds in my body
Kept beating. It would not stop till the rest were too
Conceded to know they were dying
From their own gun shot wounds.
They didn't see my revolver.

Break me!
Break me till there's nothing left to break!

I left him by the river side.

Those who drown don't come back.

I want to be so broken

I can never break again!

I don't want to break again,

And again,

And again...

Again and again...

Round and round goes the carousel

Turning relentlessly in circles.

Do you remember the night I said

I'd never say goodbye?

Goodbye, old love!

New has not yet been met.

He left me by the riverside.

He did not come back for me

He did not come back...

Silly girl.

Only children sing.

How do I love
When love is lost
Amid the valleys I left behind?
I stand upon the mountain I climbed;
I am alone.
There's nothing's at the top,
But neither was there anything bellow.
Was I born into an empty realm
Where we sing for the pennies of the tone deaf?
Do not tell me how to sing my song
Unless you are willing to compose its music.
I have fallen here in the rubble of my thoughts;
My feelings are a pit of vipers.
Your words are hyenas surrounding me;
Laughing at me.
Devour me, oh song of the dying!
I've lost myself in your grasp.
My lungs are a machine.
They've conspired with my heart against me.
They plan to keep me alive.
Someone help me.
Please?

Breathe on my bones

And make me come to life.

I want to feel the fire in my eyes.

Do hear the wind whispering to us?

Yes, it speaks of forboding things.

It's been a long time

Since I felt love 

Hide me in his arms.

You left so quickly

The goodbye got stuck in my throat.

I'm still choking on it.

It's a frightful thing to love,

But it is far worse to lose it.

When the rain pours

Well

It pours

And there's nothing you can do about it

You get soaked to the bone

And you get really cold

One of two things will happen

Either you will stay where you are and continue to be wet and cold

Or you will move and eventually you will fin warmth again

So start moving

And never stop

You'll be alright

Flow out of my soul
Through my finger tips
Into the world
I wish I was another girl
When sadness threatens
To rip me open
Why must things be this way
The ache in my heart is too great
I want to love but i am afraid
Of the fangs
And the claws
And the tears
And the pain
And the words
You don't know what you're saying
But it hurts
And I love you
But it hurts to love you
It hurts to love

Love Yourself

After finding a light
That wasn't really there

I looked within myself
For someone to care

I have found happiness
In the midst of my despair

k.g.

You met me in the dark days of your life
Sprinkling a little hope amidst the strife
I had waited all these lonely years
To finally find you here

We postponed dancing in the dark
Until we found a place underneath the stars
No sense in rushing when the time will come
No sense in ruining what had just begun

And they'll say our love is just physical
But that's not right cuz we're too emotional
We haven't lived long but we've lived enough
To know what it really means to love

When I fall I fall way too fast
But I believe that this will last
You can call me a hopeful daydreamer
But I'd like to think over time I've gotten keener

Cuz I've seen so many come and go
As if our love was a mattinee show
And something about this feels different
When you say the words I know you really mean it

And they'll say our love is just physical

But that's not right cuz we're too emotional

We haven't lived long but we've lived enough

To know what it really means to love

Well as you know I have fallen down

And shattered into pieces in the ground

You started picking me up without a word

And I will do the same for you in turn

Cuz when all you have is torn apart

A broken mind and a bleeding heart

All you can give is what you really need

We both offer what we need to recieve

And they'll say our love is just physical

But that's not right cuz we're too emotional

We haven't lived long but we've lived enough

To know what it really means to love

The Song I Said I'd Write

Take me back to a time
Before I began
When I was just a speck of sand
Hidden from the sun

Reshape me into what
I could've been
If I were perfect
If I were worth it

Touch the lines in my hands
And tell me you don't understand
What I'm feeling

Destiny graced my finger tips
And I'm not going to waste it
Hiding from the sun

Take me back to a place
Before I knew your name
When I knew nothing of your games
Hidden from the sun

You remade me into this
Vessel of emptiness
You're ice cold grip
I wish I never knew

Touch the lines in my hands

And tell me you don't understand

What I'm feeling

I've got scars that mark a time

When I thought you were mine

Now I have come undone

I never thought a day would come
When I'd stop hiding from the sun
Touch my lips
And tell me I'm the one

You touch the lines in my hands

And tell me that you understand

What I'm feeling

Broken hearts and broken minds 

Completely intertwined

Hiding from the sun
