For my other half.

Dedicated to Lisa aka Umm Aha, my bestest friend. Love you man.

 

 

When I lost faith
You believed in me
When I stumbled
You were right there
For every act of love you’ve done
I owe you one

 

There were hard times
I know I survived
Just because you stayed by my side
With all I have, with all I am
I promise you all my life

 

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

 

Through sorrow
Or the darkest night
When there’s heartache
Deep down inside
Just like a prayer, you will be there
And I promise you all my life

 

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

 

Whenever the road is too long
Whenever the wind is too strong
Wherever the journey may lead to
I will be there for you
I will be there for you

 

I’ll always be there

Reflection

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you’ll never know me
Every day, is as if I play apart
Now I see
If I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I can not fool
My heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
I am now
In a world where I have to
Hide my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What’s inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection
Someone I don’t know?
Must I pretend that i’m
Someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
There’s a heart that must
Be free to fly
That burns with a need
To know the reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think
How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I’m forced to hide?
I won’t pretend that i’m
Someone else
For all time
When will my reflections show
Who I am inside?

Hope

A silent hope, rising deep within

Alone with a world,

where birds dont sing

no sun gives rays

of a bright new beginning

Where you can see

the shadows of darkness

like lashes inflicting pain

These solitary moments

sprinkled with sadness

the diss-integrated-compliments

words so bitter, yet seemingly so sweet

Memories of those days

a respite, in this withering, bleary life

The droplet now absorbed with a thousand more

dissolving a fragile hope, silenced forever.
