silence is golden? i'm thinking more like deadly.

she's the one he dreams about,
the one he can't get out of his head.
the one he prays to be his,
each night as he lays in his bed,
and he wonders if she'll ever notice him.

he's the one she writes about,
in each and every song.
the one she wishes was hers.
he could've been hers all along.
if she had only known...

when love is silent,
hearts are slowly broken.
feelings concealed
slowly tear at the seams.
words left unspoken,
suffocating dreams.

ever so connected.

make our racing hearts
beat in rhyme.
let your ocean eyes
connect with mine.
under these stars,
please take my heart.
with your hands,
help me stand.
let this promise we make
guide every step we take.
take my hand tonight.
let our love take flight.
we'll prove we can make it.
forever, you and i.

giving up, not giving in.

you take one step.
your heart sinks deeper in your chest.
your eyes grow tired.
your heart is such a mess.
you realize now,
you'll never make it.
now all thats left to do is fake it.
so put on that smile,
and let the lies do the rest.

the she apparatus.

lies composed in your mind,
written down on paper,
sealed with a plastic kiss.
i never once questioned you
or anything you said.
but now i wonder,
if i'm going under,
while you've still got your head?

cause i'm underwater,
but you're still breathing.

maybe its the apparatus
that you have around your neck.
is she the thing
that keepes you going,
while all this time
i thought it was me?
i keep falling backwards,
but you just stay ahead.

cause i'm underwater,
but you're still breathing.

only time will tell.

Love
abounding in wonder
grows truer with time
two hearts fully bonded

Patience
created in struggles
grows stronger with time
two hearts left waiting

Distance
space in between
grows farther with time
two hearts torn apart

Silence
words cease to be spoken
grows deeper with time
two hearts so cold

Hate
emotionless shell
grows greater with time
two hearts left dead

in bittersweet oblivion.

makeup covered bruises.
is this the life she chooses?
scars on the outside
couldn't match those on the inside.

with every hit he makes,
her simple heart he breaks.
still, she loves no other.
he will remain her lover.

her heart is ever so connected,
with a heart that has rejected.
all alone at night, she cries.
and her heart begins to die.

she never seems to understand
how love could demand
a compromise to her purity.
she's lost all her security.

trust, her greatest issue,
she calms with razor blades and tissue.
drowned with blood and tears,
trying to nurture all her fears.

in darkness she'll remain,
sitting cold and broken in the pain.
up against death she will scrape,
forever longing a better escape.

this is your song.

You are the light in my darkness,
the hand that leads the way,
the mark upon my heart
that will never go away.

You are just a simple smile,
the sweet fragrance after the rain,
a hand upon my shoulder,
that relieves all my pain.

You are the purest winter snow,
the warm summer sun upon my face,
and if there were no God,
i'd swear you hung the stars in space.

You are just a note in the song of life,
a single page in its book,
a thread in its tapestry
often unseen and overlooked.

You are the glory of the sunrise,
the beauty of the sea,
the simple elegance of the rain,
and all i'll ever need.
