Growing up and moving on.


One day, when the world is still young,
I will pack up my heart
And move right along.
One day, When I feel strong,
I will listen to my heart
While it sings a new song.
One day, before I am too old,
I will not wait around
I will not so as I'm told.

Please go..

Why do you need to lie and cheat?
I am not ready to compete.
Go to her, she can have you
Leave me alone to live my life.

Why should I grovel at your feet?
I am not ready to compete.
You need me more than I need you
I’ll be fine without you in my life.

Please go now and leave me.
I will not compete.
You want her and she wants you.

What is holding you back? 
Like a vulture, picking me bare
Waiting till I have no more . 
Please go.

Games of the soul.

You forget that I am human
You think I have no soul.
A game with my emotions
My feelings pay the toll.

As I sit alone tonight
When all others feast with friends
I wonder where I went wrong.
And how do I make amends.

The rain is falling softy
The sky is painted grey
The sadness fills my heart, I know
The pain won’t go away.

My friend I wish you well.
May the morning bring you light.
I hope you never witness
The gloom I feel tonight.

This one for Eddie

Only silence now.
Memories fading away, away
Forgotten your touch, you voice
forgotten you smile.
Birthdays and anniversaries come
and go again.

Hidden away in my heart
locked up tight.
One day the release will come.
One day, but not yet.
Not yet, still much to do.
Still much to forgive.
So not yet!

This one for Pat

Lost in time
reaching out through space,
I close my eyes
and search for your face.

Your hands are my solace
Your touch I can feel
An ocean apart
And still very real.

A glimpse in the mirror
A crystal to hold
Now warm with emotion
Where once felt stone cold.

A beach walk at twilight
Cold rain on my skin
Your warmth is the comfort
I feel from within.
