Fading Away

Started out so strong
It was love at first site
Everything that was wrong
Was flipped to feel so right
With you.....

You took my hand
As we walked the path of love
I felt it all was faith
That sent me you from above

But now you seem so changed
You love sometimes locked away
That path we once walked
Seems foggy and far away

The assurance you once promised
The security you once gave
Have seem to lost it's grip
Loose at the lock and frayed

Oh what do we do now
What choice should we make
I feel so left alone
Not sure which way to take

I tried to think real hard
I tried to bow and pray
Lord please give me a sign
A sign of what to say

The answer I know is true
But I've tried to turn away
Our love that was once strong
Has begun to fade away

To her, he is the One

To her , he is the one
Morning sunshine, the light at night
To her he is the one
The ultimate security blanket
A Defense, a shield from the smaller things

What would she do without?
Be an independent woman with no seed
Walk around high and mighty but empty
To her, he is nothing
Nothing meaning not there
Life with sharing
Life without caring, at night
To love, to kiss, to hold
To her, he is non existent
It is non-existent as to be without


Why have him?
To quench her thirst when dry
To her, he is the one
To ensure she is filled up when on E
She will make it through
To her, he is the one
That makes days smile
And nights giggle
And mornings memorable
And why have him?
Why deal with him?
Why keep him?
Cause he is the one

The Visitor

Viewing the sights
Pretty Landscape, tall buildings, billboards 
Viewing Flashing lights
Cars honking , people snapping pictures, shops open
This all feels right, but I am the visitor

Corner stores
Selling things known but not to all
Restaurants
Mixed cuisine, unidentifiable aromas from afar 
Fashion
Flashy and conservative , provocative and fresh
This all feels right, but I am the visitor

Parking my car in the garage
Using my key in the door that I paid for
Walking into the familiar place that houses clothes that fit only me
Sitting on the bed that only has my imprint, my mark
This feels right or does it?
Am I still a visitor?

Wait, Hold Up

Wait, hold up
I need you to slow down
I'm not there yet
Am I ready for this

Balloons, cards, flowers
Happiness flowing in abundance from you
Minus the physical, mental, emotional abuse you put me through before 
Am I ready for this

Hugs, kisses, and all smiles
It's okay to be treated right
To love to hold to caress
Am I ready for this

To walk with love, talk with love
I met you before
Yes, I seen you before
When you cursed at me, hit me, 
broke me down, and made me cry
Why should I give you a chance now

Okay okay
I'll let you flirt with me
Show me your ready for what I have to offer
Your gifts then my gifts
Your happiness, my happiness
Am I ready for this

Trying to be one step behind
Watching from afar
Need to ensure you won't turn a corner
You pull me forward to grab my
hand
Am I ready for this

Now I walk with love
I talk with love
I smile, I hug, I kiss
I hold, I caress, I miss
I'm ready for this

I Now Sit and Reflect

I now sit and reflect
On my life as a whole
Where I came from
And where I'm at in my life

I can look back and say that i have made it
Through all the heartaches
Through all the let downs
Through sickness
Through inner pain

Used by family and friends
Tormented by loved ones
Brainwashed by those I trusted
And left as a voice on deaf ears

I am still here
Still alive to tell a story
Anything is possible
If you have faith and believe

Don't Throw Your Love Away

Don't throw your love away
Don't leave me like this
Don't let things slip away
Please give it a try

I remember this day
When we first met
You looked at me first
And there we went

On a date , one evening, June 13th
We sat and at dinner
We saw a movie

We held hands in the car
On our way home
But one day I knew
That something was wrong

Your phone was always locked
Your touch was so cold
I could feel the love
Was seemingly growing old

What's going on
What can we do
I still love you much
We can make it through

Our history had been built
On a foundation thought strong
And this is why I'm writing you
In a form of a song

Don't throw your love away
Don't leave me like this
Don't let things slip away
Please give it a try

Late Night Flight

On this late night flight
Tired but not sleepy
I think to myself
Was it all a long dream

I was on the hawaiian islands
Layed on the beach
Had a couple of mai tais
Had enough time to think

What do I want to do next ?
Where do I want to go next ?
When do I make my next move ?
How do I move on to the next ?

I feel like I just wrote a new chapter
A chapter that was at the climax of the plot
What will I do next in this book
How can I make the next chapter better than the last

That is...The adventure of a week
The week of a lifetime
A dream come reality
A reality that brought four tears

A tear of joy
A tear of happiness
A tear of content
A tear of fulfillment

Truly a milestone in my life
One I will never forget
The time I shared in my lifetime
I reflect on the midnight flight
