Candle Lit Sadness

Candle Lit Sadness

Flickering light

The candle is burnin,

Need to be sleepin

But the wheels in my head

They won’t stop turnin.

Missing you tonight,

Cryin away my sorrow,

Wishin it was different

Always waitin on

A new tomorrow.

Heart slowly beatin

As I’m starin up at the ceiling.

The bottle is callin my name,

Givin my broken heart

A bit of that liquid strength.

Makin it through these days

Haven’t been easy

But this broken hearted girl,

Shes gonna make it through.

She won’t be forever

Singin this sad tune…

Oh These Tears

Oh These Tears

Deep inside,

I know you’re gone

Broken hearted

But moving on…

Oh these tears that I’ve cried.

Escaping that hell,

The dust is settling,

Freedom so close,

But inside I’m trembling,

Oh these tears that I’ve cried.

Sunny days

Are coming soon,

Following my shadow

Lit by the moon,

Oh these tears that I’ve cried.

Looking back,

One last time,

Now I know,

You were never mine,

Oh these tears that I’ve cried.

This is it,

The final goodbye,

Welled up eyes

Are finally dry,

Oh these tears that I’ve cried.

Simplicity

Simplicity

Its that simple smile

That keeps me going

Its that loving touch

That brings me home

Its that quiet whisper

That warms my heart

A timid love

Unassuming and inviting

A comforting exchange

Between two souls

Tell me you love me

Share your heart with me

The simplicity

And the complication

The simplest things in life

Full of the most complex puzzles

Gone

Gone

Broken down

Feeling defeated

The same hollow words

Constantly repeated

When will it all end?

Trying to look up

Amongst the rubble

And chocking on the dust

This destroyed life

Used to have dreams

Now I’m left with nightmares

And my own screams

Don’t know what I have left

Don’t want to keep fighting

Tired of the anger

Want to disappear and never come out of hiding.

Blank Pages

Blank Pages

Staring at these blank pages

The ink all dried up

A love story left unwritten

Trying to find some inspiration

In a cold and empty world

Ashes of a broken heart

Left strewn about the streets

Guess after all

The doubts won out

How can it hurt so bad

That the tears can’t fall anymore

Unimaginable pain

Coupled with uncomfortable numbness

Oh this turn of events

Never saw it comin

Blindsided by the truth

As I tumbled back to earth

So many sleepless nights

Wondering how it all went wrong

Gave it all I had

Still wasn’t good enough

Just don’t know what to say anymore

Want it to be ok

Want this to be over

Want to be happy again

So much confusion in all of this

Don’t know which way is up

Drowning all alone

Maybe it is finally time

To let go

Stop fighting the rushing waters

And just be a peace
