An Eye to open, and a Heart to mend
My whole life
I've seen it again and again.
Your heart gets broken
When you've thought you'd found a friend,
And that you'd found someone to adore.
But what happens when, to me,
You mean so much more?
Eventually, the truth will be learned.
Your love has been lost
And I am left trying to
Fulfill the cost.
Why can you not see
The Knight you long for
That lies within me?
Don't you know that I can't stand by
While you have a broken Heart
And a tear-filled eye?
It is indeed ironic how the world spins,
But you'll only lose
If you say you can't win.
So far, during trial, I've found
You never look up, but look at the ground.
And, to yourself, you have always lied
When you tell yourself
You have an open eye
While I am left standing by
To mend your Heart
And open your Eye.
But this one Rose
As I sit alone in quiet solitude,
I find myself reminiscing.
Thinking of times precious,
And now long in the past.
Those times I hold sacred,
Mor dear to me than life;
For they forged Eternally,
The memories that sustain me.
They were times of Sorrow
And pain that I
Never knew before.
Times, as well,
Of utmost joyt and love.
A kind of love
Which I felt from no-one else
But the Princess who resides in you.
And so, I give you a Rose,
And it must speak
Where my eloquence fails
And tell you
How much I thank and love you,
For all the times you never let me down.
And now I sit here
In a far-distant land
Treasuring thise memories.
May they never die.
May they cry to the Heavens.
My joy is for Eternity
When I think
Of what you did for me.
I am forever in your debt
And I have nothing to repay
But this one Rose,
And a kiss
From a continent away.
Confusion of the Heart
I see her every so often.
One of the fairest beauties I've seen.
With utmost Elegance,
Her countenance brightly glows,
Emenating her beauty.
Being around her,
Even just seeing her
Is utterly intoxicating.
My heart and mind filling
With emotion and songs
Every time I look upon her face.
And it confuses me all the same.
Because my mind tells me
That I love another,
But my Heart
Is not quite so sure.
My thoughts and feelings
Are torn in two.
My heart skips a beat
When I see one,
And yet it groans
When I think of the other.
How can I think of one
Who is in a far off place,
When this radiant beauty
Is often before my face?
Constantly perplexing me,
Entrancing me
With her beauty, grace
And Countenance?
My heart is in great confusion
As I think of my love afar
While falling in love
With the beauty
Placed right before me.
The Dream
I dreamed that Dream again.
The Dream that I keep dreaming.
The one that always haunts me.
I dream of you and I,
And how we fall apart.
In the Dream, you seem so distant,
So afraid and so unsure.
You avoid me at every cost
And at every turn.
I awake each time not knowing
What it all could mean.
You assure me that all is well;
That you are steadfast,
And remain by my side.
But I simply cannot shake
This feeling in my heart;
This worry that is planted
In my mind by this Dream.
I hope that's all it is:
Needless worry, formed by an unreal Dream.
You wrap your arms around me,
And promise me it will be alright.
I hope you're right.
I don't know what I would do without you.
Dream or Reality
I've dreamt this dream before.
Every day, every night
I live inside this dream.
Every
look, every gesture, every sound,
Every emotion
Seems so illusionary, yet so real.
If this moment be dream,
Let the dream continue.
If it be real,
Don't let me sleep.
I don't want to leave the comfort
Of this
place,
Of this feeling.
And when I awake,
Will the comfort then end?
Or is the dream
A single moment
savored for eternity?
Dream, or Reality,
I care not.
I can make the dream
Become reality.
Or have
I already?
I cannot tell if this moment is
Dream
or
Reality.
Fork in the Road
I wanna love you,
But I'm so sared.
I know you love me,
Please don't think I dont care.
As much as I love you,
I eventually
Will have to let you go.
A fork in the road is ahead,
And with so many memories behind,
I will not know which path to tread.
We've been through shadow,
And arrived at light,
Gone from dawn
To the edge of night.
Now, another choice must be made,
Another road must be taken.
Which path will be chosen?
And between us,
Who's heart will be broken?
I don't know.
But I love you too much
To be in love with you.
How?
How did you do it?
Make me part of your life?
When a thousand other boys
Could never reach you,
How could I have been the one?
How did you get through
And touch me so deeply?
During time of heartbreak,
You picked up the pieces
And mended my shattered soul.
How did you know
When and why
I needed you so?
How? Your timing
And deeply-discerning eye
Amaze and confound me!
But, if I never find out how,
I don't care.
Because, you still won my heart.
But every now and again,
I wonder:
How did you do it?
It'd be nice to know one day.
If, But When
You tell me "If" we ever stay in love,
And you tell me "if" we ever make it.
It's true that there may be risk,
But what "if" the World was flat?
What "if" the Sun never shines?
"If" doesn't matter.
The World will make one more round
To have the Sun show it's smiling face.
There is no "if".
Only "when".
Don't tell me "if" things work out.
Don't tell me "if" this love will last.
Don't tell me it may not happen.
Just tell me "when" we make it through.
Tell me "when" I can be with you.
Just tell me "when" our love will thrive.
Don't tell me "if" we will survive.
Don't tell me "if" we maybe try.
Don't place that seed of doubt in my heart,
Just tell me "when".
Because, what "if" the Tide never changed?
What "if" Night never turned to Day?
And what "if" the Skies never rained,
Or what "if" we never felt the pain?
"If" doesn't matter.
Because, "when" the Tides and Oceans flow,
The Sunrise will elegantly glow.
And "when" we fell the gentle rain,
It will ease and soothe every pain.
Don't place that seed out doubt in my Heart.
Don't tell me "if".
Just tell me "when".
I Never Knew
I never knew
How much you meant to me
Until you came that day.
I had fought a long, hard fight,
And won a single battle.
You came to share with me
That one, single Victory.
I never knew how much
Your smile really meant to me.
I never really knew
How much I really love you
Until that day
When I saw your smile
Glow across your face
And once again
Felt your warm embrace.
My victory was weet,
But you made it all the sweeter
And you made me realize
That I never really knew before
How much I really love you.
I See You
In everything I see, I see you.
IN the stars, I see your eyes;
In the wind, I feel your hair;
In the sea, your smile abounds;
In all music, I hear your voice.
All things, in one way or other,
Call my memory towards you.
And while so far away,
I am reminded of the one I loved;
The one I still love.
And no matter how I try,
I am always reminded
By all that surrounds me.
Because in all that I see,
I see you.
Just for a While
Isn't it so frustrating?
To hold all this in your heart?
Why must it be so difficult?
Why must it be so hard?
I can't keep this all to myself!
I really wanna be there,
To hold you in my arms,
And I wanna go and tell the World
How you were the one
To win my heart.
How you're the only one who
Makes me feel I'm alive.
How can I keep this inside?
How can I all my love hide?
I really wanna be there
Even if it's just for a while.
I wanna be your Hero
And keep you safe from harm.
I really wanna be there
To hold you in my arms
Even if it's just for a while.
How is all this possible?
How can you make me feel this way?
How can I hide from all the world,
How for once, I feel something real?
I can't keep this inside!
It's something I can't deny!
I wanna be by your side!
I really wanna be there
To hold you in my arms.
I wanna be your Hero!
I wanna go and tell the World!
I wanna hold you in my arms,
Even if it's just for a while!!
She
From that day I first beheld her face,
And gazed into her Emerald eyes,
She has filled my life with light.
She motivates me,
Inspires and drives me.
She takes away from me
All troubles, cares and sorrows.
She is the first to know
Of what goes on in my mind,
And I weep to think
That I cannot do the same
While so far away.
Yet, I shall return again.
She gives me strength when I have none
From what little she may have.
She is a Princess who, at times,
Is the one to rescue her Prince.
She is Beauty, she is Grace,
She is Elegance and Nobility.
She is my Strength, my Support.
She is my Light, my Life,
My love for Eternity.
One for Another
Many Miles lie between us,
But miles are not so far.
Time has no meaning
Nor does distance;
For Love closes the gap.
Ensuring that we can always be
Together, always there
One for another.
No matter how long,
No matter how far.
We will always be there
One for another.
This I know,
Because of the love
And the trust which we built.
That love and trust
Will never fail
Because I won't let it.
Promises Kept
You fear the worst
Of what lies down your path.
You're afraid
That I'll be too afraid
To walk down that path with you.
Well, just take me by the hand.
Take me down that fear-filled road.
I could'nt possibly stand by
And let you walk it alone.
Because the smell
Of your hair on my face
Draws me to you.
The way you kiss,
The way you hold,
The radiance of your sleep,
The touch of your hand,
And the light in your smile,
Make all the ideas of fear
Dissipate and disperse.
Promises are kept,
And rarely ever broken.
I'll be by your side
If you'll be by mine.
I'll rescue you
If you rescue me.
I'll love you
If you love me.
Untitled IV
Where were you when I needed you the most?
You have always been there before
And have never let me down
Until now.
Where are you now?
Have you forgotten about me so?
It seems as if there is nothing I can do.
I need you now,
But you're not here.
Right when I need you the most.
So where are you now?
What need I do or say
To hear your voice or read your words?
I am lost without you.
And when I need you
More than ever,
You aren't here
Like you were in the past.
Why?
The Journey
The time is long and tiresome
And the journey grows ever longer.
And I long to see you once again.
It is so difficult to be this close to you,
And not to do a thing.
As much as I wish to see you,
To hold you,
The time is not yet right.
There will come a day when we shall meet again,
Although it may take years.
But I wait for that day with patience and endurance,
And my patience shall be rewarded,
And we will be together again.
When that day shall come,
I will never leave your side.
I will be there whenever you call, wherever you go.
But first I must make this Journey.
For if I do not make the journey
And come back to you,
I could never be for you the man I need to be.
And so, to better myself,
And fortify my love,
On this Journey I shall go.
And I will return
To hold you in my arms again.
That Day, at Summer's Full
I saw you once, for just a moment
A moment that passed
Too soon for me to believe.
I was caught up in a moment of dream,
But the dream was, in fact, real.
To see your shining face,
And to hold you, just that once,
That day at Summer's full
Made my life complete.
That one single moment, where time seemed to freeze
That dream-like, unbelievable moment,
I refuse to believe it ended.
I miss you now, so much more than before.
I cannot express the way I ache.
And now I long to see you once again,
And hold you, the way you held me then.
But what of your thoughts and feelings?
The emotions that run through your soul?
I miss you so much more,
But do you miss me so?
I long to know, if holding me, just that once,
That day at Summer's full
Made your life complete.
I dare not say I love you,
Those three word confuse me.
Those words can mean too much,
Or express not near enough.
But I can tell you this:
The day you held me for a brief, fleeting moment
Made my heart swell
Made me ache and long for your touch again.
That day at Summer's full
Made my life complete.
Untitled II
What was it like to be lonely?
No word can fully describe.
But I am reminded every day
Of how it used to be.
People together, smiling and in love.
Myself, in solitude, crying and alone.
I am unsure
of how to feel.
As I am in love,
Yet I am on my own.
Should I be heartbroken,
Or be as carefree as those before
me?
I think of you and all cares fall away.
And yet I stand here, looking at lovers
Holding eachother,
And
I am again lonely.
Not a Fleeting Moment
Every moment of every waking hour
I think of you, dream of you
Evey day and
night, sunset and sunrise
I think of you, dream of you
Not a day, nor fleeting moment goes by
Without you
being on my mind
And I know within my soul, that although
I may leave you behind
I will come for you.
To only see you once more,
to hold you by the hand
May not be easy for me
To leave after that,
But
I would rather see you again
and miss you
Than live with the thought
that I could have,
but
didn't.
Because
Every moment of every waking hour
I will think of you, dream of you
Evey day and night,
sunset and sunrise
I will think of you, dream of you
What Am I Supposed to Say?
I don't know what to think
Since you have now revealed
the truth.
To tell me that you loved me once;
Yet never enough to tell me
Until today.
What am I supposed
to say?
What am I supposed to feel?
I don't know if I should be happy
Since I at least, in some way,
Won your
heart;
Or to be angry
Since you didn't tell me
And had me played for a fool.
The things I told you, and the
things I felt
Never left me completely.
Although they may remain, they have diminished.
And now what would you
have me do
Since I now love another?
Should my heart rejoice, and re-kindle it's fire for you?
Or should it just
be glad, and thanking you?
Or even still, should it be broken again by you?
I don't know what to think,
I don't
know what to feel,
I don't know what to say.
I can now never look at you again
Without this conflict in my heart.
Without thinking of how
You loved me when I loved you
But didn't let me love you.
None of this seems real.
It feels like something you would see
On the Stage or on the Silverscreen,
Yet this time it's real.
Although
it doesn't seem that way.
I don't know what to think,
I don't know what to feel,
So what am I supposed to say?
Winter Love
As the snowflakes fall,
So does my love.
Falls for thy heart so dear
Falling from my aching
heart,
Wanting to fall closer, more near.
As winter is white, and pure
So is my love.
Purer than silver
or gold,
For thy love in return
Would be a legend to behold.
But as cold as winter can be,
So is your
love.
For to you, I seem not there.
Oh, how I wish you would love me
That I might hold you close with care.
As winter ice shatters,
So has my love.
Shattered with the weight
Of my sorrowed, heavy heart
Which waited
too long, too late.
I Loved you, I lost you
When I first saw you, I was afraid to talk to you
When I spoke to you, I was afraid
to hold you
When I held you, I was afraid to kiss you
When I kissed you, I was afraid to love you
When I loved
you, I was afraid to lose you.
When I lost you, I could not kiss you
When I could not kiss you, I could not hold you
When I could not hold you, I could not talk to you
When I could not talk to you, I was afraid to see you.
Because
thats where it all started.
I saw you
I spoke to you
I held you
I kissed you
I loved you
I lost you.
The Tears of a Princess
You put on a face to the world of Nobility and pride
But I know of the real
you,
Which from the world you hide.
And the pain that comes
In the Tears of a Princess.
Your
world is surrounded by Dignity and Fame
But your tears in the night tell me another story
A story of heartbreak
and of despair
In the Tears of a Princess.
You place your crown upon your proud head for the world
But
you cannot hide your true feelings from me
For I have seen the pain
And the Tears of a Princess.
Your
knight in Shining armour has gone.
Leaving you alone once again
To wait for your prince who you do not see.
The one in front of you.
Drying the Tears of a princess.
The one who is your shoulder to cry on
The one who holds you in need
The only one to endure the pain
Of the Tears of a Princess.
The only one
to ever know you enough to see
The Tears of a Princess.
Why do you not see my tears, the tears of a prince
Who longs for the princess in you;
Who has been the only one beside you;
The only one
To see the Tears
of a Princess?
You came along
If you had not come along,
Where would I be without you?
I would be in the depths of sorrow,
In the lowest pit of despair.
I would be alone.
Not knowing how to smile
Not knowing how to laugh
Not
knowing how to love.
And that is where I was.
And those, the things I did not know
Until you came along.
And
now where have I been
Since you came along?
I have been to the top of the mountain
I have smiled and laughed
and loved
Because you came along.
And I will continue on my journey
Past the Mountains Peak
Beyond the
Eagles Realm.
To continue to smile
To continue to laugh
To continue to love
Because you came along.
Where
would I be without you?
No place that compares
To where I am
And where Im going
Because
You came
along.
Played for a Fool
Years of friendship forged over the years
Were washed away suddenly
with the fall of my tears.
Trusts, pacts and promises broken
With a few innocent, yet potent words spoken.
I
trusted you, cared for you, in some ways
I even loved you.
But all that time I was led astray.
Played for a fool.
The trust you built earned a high place in my heart
But to you I was no more than mere friend from the start.
Your words pierced my heart as a sword made of steel
And now I am unsure if Ill ever fully heal.
For the wound
had pierced the very depths of my soul
Leaving a void, an ever-present hole.
Can these words ever be healed? Come
what may!
But no other soul can do so.
I know not whether to embrace or fear that day
But only you can mend those
wounds you inflicted
Those short days ago.
But only when you understand
That all that time you led me astray,
You played me for a fool.
