Here I wait
for someone to make a move
because fear surrounds me
I don't want to lose another friend

you are like a bite
I itch you and it burns

she made a mistake

but he forgave her
by letting her go

of course I will
of course I do

B203

staring back at the empty room
saying goodbye to a hell of a year
shedding a tear just at "see ya later"

remembering that moment in time
that snapshot of life

looking forward to the next vacancy
ghostlike visions of memories
farewell my friend, until we meet again

tomorrow we will be
toes in the sand
letting waves carry us
looking to the horizon
soaking up the sun

tomorrow we will be
beside those who care
sharing words
making memories
laughing and smiling til the day is through

tomorrow we will be there

The Forgotten

knowing you means that you knew me once
but here is to the forgotten
the ones left behind
to stare at glory and happiness
knowing it was once theirs

"no matter what"
that phrase will always lie with me
because I meant it
and clearly I still do

I may not be consciously thinking about it
and trying to avoid it
but love is unavoidable
it comes in many sizes, shapes, and forms
but love happens when it is true
no matter what

I love you
with all my heart
the whole thing
one hundred percent
forever and ever
til the day i die
and then some more
NO MATTER WHAT

love yours truly,
              the forgotten

the drum is beating fast
but i can't quite fit in every rhythm

Inaudible Harmony

so sick of being used
one day i'm yesterdays news
the next day i'm needed

after i do my good deed
i seem to always get left in the dust
no good deed goes unpunished

but does karma really exist
i have yet to experience good karma
for everything seems to be going wrong

nonetheless the energizer bunny keeps hopping along
singing a duet alone
enjoying the inaudible harmony
but wishing to learn a fresh melody
to share with a choir
full with those who cherish me

your words are so vindictive
do you mean what you say
do you even know what you say means
your judgement and labels pathetic
the slang
the vocabulary
the racial slurs
the unconscious insults
displease me in more ways than one
your words are so vindictive
I would have to say that I am done

I want you

I want you to hold me in your arms and never let go

I want you to sweep me off my feet when I least expect it

I want you to press your lips upon mine

I want you to tell me the truth in all your sweet talk

I want you to take me away and travel the world

be my friend

surprise me

love me

be with me

whoever you may be
