Bring it on, I am Waiting
Storm clouds gather around my head
As my mistakes crowd around my shed
Today is a nightmare in broad daylight
Tomorrow but a speck in the dark storm clouds
Yet here I stand, facing my storm
Frozen with fear, down to the last bone
I face you my fear, I embrace you in full
Make me...

I Search for You
I search for you,
In all the wrong places.
I search for you,
In all the wrong people.
I search for you,
Though I know not where you are.
I search for you,
Hope I search not in vain.
I search for you,
I will search till I find you.

Hello Stranger
You Walk by,
I see you;
You know me not,
I know you not;
You face is radiant,
I think you are beautiful;
You order your latte,
I sip my green tea;
You turn around,
I look at you;
You smile,
I smile too;

Yet There is Hope
Looking at the mirror
I face the emptiness
The image once admired
Now derided and in shame
Looking out to the sky
I see but dark rain clouds
The sight once beloved
Now a screen from all my dreams
Looking around my world
I see but toil and hate
Their dreams once shined bright
Now but a shadow of their past
But...

The Lost Spark
Battles were fought
Wars were won
Storms were borne
Hearts turned to stone
Ideal are lost
Ethics compromised
I search for myself
For love and principles lost
I have lost in me
The spark of love
Of love and passion
Of smiles and tears...

Missing You?
I thought I'd be fine
I'd leave and it will be all good.
I thought I was protecting you
I still think I did the right thing.
I still think you deserve better
I still think you deserve to be happy.
But now I miss you
I miss being able to talk to you.
I miss holding you
I...

The Lights Have Died
The lights have died,
And cameras stopped
The dancers gone
And makeup off
The set is clear
Its time to go
A space remains
Where people were
Where once was you
Is now just me
The lights have died
And you have gone
Back now to life
Back now to strife...

State
Reduced to a shadow of the former self
I now remain here, just a farce
A figment of imagination
Conquests and glories, lie by the wayside
I stand now naked, burnt and exposed
The road now rocky, lonely and dark
Beckons now to me, with thorny open arms
My demons once far behind me
Now, stand with me...

Light
I waited for the morning rays,
A light to end this pitch black night.
But the sun it did not rise today,
And darkness reigns, no light today.
Maybe to me darkness is home,
Where I live with my pitch black heart.
But still I hope with all my heart,
That light will shine and fill my...

Sorry to A Friend
We walked the hills,
And roamed the streets;
We shared our meals,
And shared our dreams.
Those days of old,
Those days so pure;
I left behind,
Along with you.
I went away,
To chase my dreams;
You stayed behind,
To try to live.
The years have passed,
We're still apart;
I wish for rain,
I wish for you.
Forgive me please,
My sins so deep;
Against your...
