Snubbed.

I don't have a thing for lies
Or for disappointment
I don't approve self injury
I'm not much for silence
I don't like omitted truths
I'm not fond of confusion
I'm not digging your contrasts
And I don't want to find them
But all of this, for you I do
You're lucky I'm in love.

Mosquitos

Parasites
Like the estranged mind
Find their way to soft flesh
Where leave an impression
A reminder of their existence
But, who can judge?
It is their right
To live.

Chatam.

Baron, if you will it
Or my dear if so I choose
But it is not my choice to make
Your name belongs to you
I can't throw a face to you
The plaster parts will break
I can't give a new ID
You must make your own mistakes.

Sorry.

Life could be quite perfect
And you could be complete
And your little precious comments
Would never knock me off my feet.
If only you had fallen
For a different kind of girl
And then you'd have your wish
And you could have all of the world.

Love v. Loving.

Loving one and love
Are now completely different things
And I wish to turn back time
And take back that thing I did
And then make you not remember
And have you near again
And then show you that for you
Loving and love are still the same.

Tomorrow.

The silvery chord runs strong between them
Etched with the hope of tomorrows
And pulls them closer
While another, Thinner,
Draws them apart
One looks towards the other chord
Unsure of the next course of action
And one focuses on the more obvious
And the one who chooses the obvious
Does not want this hopeful thread
To break.

Encryption

We force ourselves
To switch the words
Use simile, metaphor, anything
To keep them guessing
But there is one who understands
The power of encryption
And I allow it, because
This one deserves to know.

Take a chance.

Oh, King of Lonely Souls
How Vast Does Run the River
Between Love and Between Home.

Blackjack.

In this game we deal the cards
And we stick with what we get
We don't alter our hands
We can't twist the fates
You can try as you might,
But there is only shuffle, draw, repeat
Until we realize the issue and fold
And I wonder how long it'll take
For my patience to run thin.

My tutor.

If pain gives us wisdom
Then you are my tutor
And I seem as but a small child in your eyes
In need of another lesson.

My locker.

The locker combination
Was etched into your door
To keep you from forgetting
And to help forevermore
You still have the key
If you haven't lost that sketch
And they haven't bothered changing
All the locker locks quite yet.

The Test.

Who is the paramour
Who is the love
Who is desired
Who is above
Who holds your hand
Who holds your heart
Who will you turn to
When all falls apart
And will she still be there
In sickness and pain
Or will she be broken
And done with the game.

The Web We Weave

We are as spiders
Weaving, in beautiful strokes
We dance across the smallest thread
And form the largest picture
But the threads exit through pores unseen
And if you knew the path
You'd be horrified.

Potential.

There was a rose
That fell from the sky
And intrigued imagination
My curiosity unfurled
As I unfurled those petals
And found within
The beauty of what could have been.

"That" one.

We run through the forest
On winged feet
Dodging the shrubbery
Dodging that one persistent branch
As we run in circles
It always seems to catch us
At our worst.

Growing.

I miss back when things were simple
When we were only kids
When your mom said yes or no
And we could only nod our heads.

Laserquest.

I fell, and found it easy
But I never could have guessed
That although we never met before
I knew what it was it meant
I remember when I saw you
For the first time as a man
And those little secret kisses
That we took both hand in hand
I remember how my hand shook
When I reached to touch your skin
I don't think you ever realized
I too was scared to let you in.

My Confusion.

I just can't, though try
To understand
This sick infatuation
Where you say and do
Two complete contradictions
Just give me a sign.

That Mistake.

You watch
I turn my head away
Hoping that you'll realize
You watch
And in my head I sing
About you that I despise
You think I flirt
You tell a joke
I laugh to break the mood
I think you hope
I want to leave
And in my home, I weep.

Fickle Boy.

You can say I love you to a bunch of different girls
You can smile, you can kiss them
You can buy them lots of pearls
You can hold their hand, as you walk right down the street
You can hold their hand, as you walk right on by me
You can leave cute comments, on their myspace and facebook
You can leave a message, that says only lovely words
You can even think that this will be your destiny
But if you do not know yourself
You don't know anything.

Figure Skaters.

Gliding on ice
Caressing the stone
You spin and you circle
In the hard glow
Inside the spotlight
Assessing your fame
And it's then that you realize
You were in the wrong game.

Marriage

We walk on rocks
We bite our tongues
We hide in fear
We have some fun
And all together
These things join hands
Until they meet
The wedding bands
Commitment, it rings
And you know that it's done
That cold metal, it grips
And takes out all the fun.

Drive me home

I'm waiting for a sign, you know?
That everything's quite fine.
You're meant to be my friend, that's all
But now I've watched that end.
I know I could have stopped it, yes
And I know I didn't try.
I may have made a hint or two
But I guess whatever flies.
Please take me home
I'm unimpressed
I'm scared and helpless
And now you're in
I made this choice
I can't complain
I'm a fool
But what have you gained?

Untitled.

I thought one day
To run quite far
And leave my friends behind
And maybe, just maybe
I'd realize
That leaving my life is to die
But, no it was not
It was actually fun
To start over
And live a new life
And now as I live
I find friends once again
And forget about all my past strife.

I beseech thee.

Do you think
If I beseech you
You might let me in again?

Do you wonder
What could have been
Might king of lonely souls?

Ar you doomed
To find unhappiness
Everywhere you go?

I won't stop you
Though I love you
It's best if I let you roam.

Telepathy.

She wishes she could read your mind
And find the secret truths
Holds her arms out to your soul
And wishes you would, too.

Falling

You could fall into my arms
If I could fall into your heart
If you let me in
I let you in
And we never grow apart

You could fall into my mind
If I could fall into your soul
I am longing
I am waiting
To become two of a kind

Parting.

I guess this is goodbye
So long
I'll miss you
Till my grave

I guess this is goodbye
So long
Please, please
Come again.
