The ornaments of truths, the hidden needlework
The webs and knots of me lay out the lace of love
The beads of words spell out the truths for you to hold
And as you pull the strings, I'm gracefully undone
And maybe this is it, and maybe that's the day
That everything before was destined to create
And I will gladly take each silent come what may
And may it come right now, ...

The loneliness around me is filling every space
It sits in every corner, it shadows every face
I see some random strangers too busy holding hands
The memories you left me, pave paths I cannot trace
I have to keep on smiling and shine on every street
I have to look just happy, enough for them to meet
The one who's always wanted, the one who has it all
Who wants a broke...

I am the only sunshine. I am the brightest star
I am the perfect woman. I am the silly clown
I am the one you wanted. I'm missed when I am gone
I am the new beginning when all is said and done
I am the secret lover. I am the pretty one
I am the silent whisper. I am the hidden scar
I am the wandering pilgrim. I am the golden rule
I am the one who matters. I paint y...

My medicine, my poison, your curse
My blessing, your disease, my never ever
Your frozen fire, waiting for a source
My lost and found, your stay alone together
My blushed hello, your last untrue forgive me
My salty memory, your bitter drops of guilt
Your chains of gold, my quiet “never leave me”
My crystal castle that you'll never build
I'll let you vanish right be...

Ashes
So here we are, two strangers with a story
One lost and found, the other flying high
A life apart, a love behind. Sad glory.
Two burnt survivors celebrating life
You try to steal the heart you failed to borrow
Time shows its teeth stained badly with regret
Pawned for a sin, unbathed in her tomorrow
Your soul's for sale for reasons to forget
And do I know how long ...

Something To Remember
Your truths are lost in ever-changing rainbow
Of vows and verses, undefined and scorned
Beyond belief, above the known tomorrow
Behind closed doors and losses never mourned
Remember now, this moment of forever
Its taste will linger longer than its sight
As our lives collide and sink together
This blissful minute will define your plight
I'll turn around and leave b...

Come and bring your life with you
Sing your song to me again
Drown me in your lies again
Try and tell me something new
I aged a lifetime tonight
I need to remember to breathe
You talk about the fight or flight
While wearing my heart on your sleeve
Wrap yourself in foolish fate
What you can do and what you won't
What you know and what you don't
All the th...

Faith has melted away like the last year's snow
Bared the roughness and rust of my heart's broken edges
Stopped my time yet again but you can’t change its flow
I could not hear the night through your vows and your pledges
I am washing my soul and my heart clean off you
I am soothing my wounds with uncanning forgiveness
For the castles of sand that it's driven us throug...

To my sister
What lies ahead is not for sale
Be true, be strong but always fair
You might forget, you might not care
But never fool yourself
Burn castles that we build on sand
Tear down the walls that will not stand
And cry for every dream that failed
Just never let it go
I wish I could avoid mistakes
I wish I had all that it takes
To hide away your heart that breaks
And never let you go...

If Only
Away. Forgotten. Wrapped in time.
A wicked smile, fate's gestures, fading,
Unspoken words, not yours, not mine,
That cannot soothe the pain of waiting.
Far in the sea, up in the sky,
Stars look away like little sinners,
And life goes on, and life goes by,
A brand new day for the beginners.
And every spring the trees will grow,
And each and every day repeating,

The short stories we wrote
With the best of intentions
Have restaged our ending
Intervened with the truth
We rehearsed our roles
And recounted with patience
Of my brief co-existence
Disappearing proof
Why would memory fail
Why would time have no meaning
When its healing has let me
Grow two lives into one
Our story is frail
Its last breath is beginning

It is so empty in the open
The doors are shut. The windows closed.
The keys misplaced, the lock is broken
The map is wrong, the stars are lost
I've tried so many times to find you
I've leaped so often with no hope
The faith that used to be so blinding
Has been replaced with rope and soap
I have been told so many fables
You have dispelled so many trut...

You parachute yourself into my mind, come morning
You slip right in, between the sheets and thoughts
Like snow I melt away while you, you keep on falling
Your strings are tied to mine in myriads of knots
The rules we break, keep changing every evening
Like outlaws we run and hide in secret nooks
I've lost my breath, time's lost its very meaning
My hands are tied, rewri...

My rooms are empty in the open
I echo once forbidden thoughts
I hold the key but locks are broken
Cold drafts are sweeping off your words
The rubbish of a hopeful future
Rolls down the broken staircase
Cracks in the walls let in the vultures
The ancient clock has lost its face
Stains of regret took place of paintings
Which we hung close to someone's call
The co...

You are a demon in disguise
And if I were the one to choose
I'd never know that you existed
Then there'd be nothing left to lose
Then there'd be nothing left to miss
Then there'd be no more tears to cry
But if I were the one to choose
God knows I would still choose to try
You've masterminded my escape
And then you threw away the keys
I wish I never crossed your h...

So is this it? May I get sober?
Are we untangled and undone?
Is this the end of what was over
Before the moment it begun?
We almost tried and nearly made it
We barely reached the finish line
Is it the good in you that traded
A noble reason for a winning lie?
And you can give me many reasons
For how I’m not one of your toys
And how you saved me from your tr...

This cat is too poised to be soaked to the bone
Stars tickle her paws as she tries to seem eager
There's always some milk left in some stranger's home
And she can be strong, but needs to be weaker
Rain, sins, hopes and vain roll off from that brink
Where life's just a dog, and it howls to remember
The sighs of her June, the regrets of September
Can someone please offer a sea...
