A New Life

I've been sitting around this life for years,
Not enough laughs and too many tears.
Trying to figure out where it all went,
These wasted years that I have spent.

Searching for something to go beyond,
Life's a stone skipping across a pond.
At the last skip, it hits with a splash,
Down the stone sinks, gone in a flash.

Pushing and pulling, it's tearing apart,
Poking and prodding an underused heart.
This dark velvet curtain that hides my soul,
Living this life has taken it's toll.

In a flash of bright light, the curtain is torn,
Tumbling down all tattered and worn.
Revealing new life, a child within,
Born free of hate, of suffering and sin.

Now my eyes see what has never been told,
Striving forth happy, confident and bold.
Into a world that's unfamiliar but friendly,
Into this new life my spirit will send me.

Living and laughing, loving it all,
I stood myself up and answered the call.
The darkness has gone, replaced by the light,
I gave up the darkness with hardly a fight.

I've been sitting around this life for years,
With laughter aplenty and hardly a tear.
Now I can see just where it all went,
Cherish every moment of this new life I've spent.

You Loved Me

I haven't seen you in a while
I haven't seen your smile
The one who lured me with her charms
is not with me, but in another's arms
Now what am I supposed to do?
I can't think about the good times
when you spoke the lover's lines
I can't think at all tonight,
I just wonder why?
Why do you love him and not me?
I love you, don't you see?
These thoughts cloud my mind
Did our love make me blind?
I just lay here because I can't sleep
Thinking of promises you couldn't keep
What did I do that changed your heart?
What was it that brought us apart?
I think of the words you whispered
The ones that no one else would hear
now those words are whispered to him
Words that in my heart i held so dear
You knew I loved you
I thought you loved me too
But when I see you with him,,
it makes me remember
how things used to be
When you said you loved me.

Love S.O.S

Onto the sea
I sailed my boat
And prayed that it
Would stay afloat

From dawn til dusk
From dusk til dawn
In search of love
I drifted on

What happened then
I don't recall
I think it was
A sudden squall

For when I awoke
I thought I died
At the sight of an angel
At my side

But lucky for me
That was not true
For I found love
And love was you.
