I held you tight 

telling you the pain would end

I held you tight

while your heart stopped

Now

I hold you tight

in my heart

Forever you will be

alive in me.

I need to heal

I do not want my sweet Beau

He is my heart dog

he deserves a joyful

Otherwise

He will never be

Nor will I

Wish I could freeze the moments

that warm my heart

So I can take them out

and enjoy them when I need them

Easy to forget those precious times

People who do not have all the answers

instead are looking for solutions

People who allow others to find their path

instead of trying to drag them down theirs

People who love and share and dare

To be part of the unknown world

We live in.

Truth is hiding in dark places

Hoping to wake up to a real world

Eyes of blue

Something so pure

Something so true

How could I love you

Your small hands wrapped 

around mine

in a twine of joy

She sits in the dark wondering why

her loves seems to always die. 

Some are destine to succeed

they lead the parade of happiness. 

She wants to jump on a float

wave to the crowd

saying "I'm in love!"

out loud. 

But that dream is not near

instead far away

so she sits in the dark 

holding her heart

with empty hands.

Hunger that can not be solved

deep in your bones it hides...

hoping for freedom to arrive

walk by the mirror

do not dare look...

Why is the desire to survive

so strong?

When someone passes,

"they are going to a better place"

is the song.

Does this seem wrong?

It's confussing

Why fight

Why cry

He was like sunshine

peaking out

Then the thunder

But could not drown

with him

So I said goodbye.

He stands still while

He stands still next to his bowl

accustom to

Seems my little furry man

It has you sitting on the edge of your seat

The words out your mouth

come without attachment

Holding onto nothing

void of discovery

Only the desire to echo

Such a waste of sound

The chitchat flies to judgment

an unpacked suitcase

Best to zip your lip

there was no heat

The kiss was taken

Seized the moment
