Flying Falling

I hear a songbird out my window and want to fly.
Please let me join you and be free!
I close my eyes and all at once I'm flying high.
Imagine soaring far above the trees!
I fly for hours exploring everywhere,
to all the places I've always longed to see.
Such freedom!
Ecstasy beyond compare!
Until suddenly I realize it's just me.
I am all alone and I start falling,
faster than I ever knew I could.
I thought this was my dream,
this was my calling.
This change was supposed to be good!

Sad Sudden Silence

Have you thought of me lately
As I have often thought of you
This silence between us
Screams loudly at the back of my mind
Is this goodbye

An Overflowing Heart

My soul overflows from my eyes
I try to stop the rain
It's all too much
The tears fall down
I try to hide the pain
Gotta keep it together
Trying to be strong
It's driving me insane
Trying to pretend that everything's fine
Is like trying to stop the rain

Don't Pretend

You never loved me
you loved the idea of me.
You could never quite accept me
completely for who I was.
Who I am.
Especially now.
You say I've changed.
Yes. People change.
I've changed for the better.
I know who I am.
I know what I want.
I know I don't want you.
I want to be happy.
I want to be free.
I will be who I am without apology.

Bliss

Let's drink each other in
as our hearts and bodies intertwine.
Time slips away.
Passion ignites.
As the air around us tingles with electricity.
I can never get enough!
We shall get drunk on each other
completely entranced.
Then stumble away
lighthearted and blissful
into the night.

Hold On

I know things won't always
be this way.
I know life won't always
be so hard.
I have a better future ahead,
if I can only get there.
Just breathe.
Just hold on.
Just make it through the day,
the week, the month.
Hope is difficult to grasp.
I cling to the tiniest sliver of it
and hold on for dear life.
