I stand still spinning
I walk around wishing
Wondering what I’m missing
I’m lonely
What’s out there for me
Is there any glory
Who will know my story
I’m lonely

No one ever knows my pain
No one ever feels the same
No one ever knows my pain
But does it really matter

One in

A vision lost
In a vision seen
A truth revealed
Within a dream
And we just go on
Like nothing’s wrong
Lots of strife
This is life
And oh I don’t know
I don’t know
How things are going to go
How can it be
In this century
We’re less evolved
Less problems solved
And

There are people that come into our lives

That exist in moments in time

You help each other when you can

And you come to understand

One another

You understand this is a friend

A soul mate

Bound by fate

And you know it’s precious

A precious gift

Cause destiny can be so delicate

Dissatisfaction

It always seems that the things we want most

We cannot have

And we just get what we can

But that never leaves you satisfied

It’s just a tease a temporary fix

Nothing that’ll give you what you really miss

So what’s the point to keep on trying

When your dreams are slowly dying

Lamenting You

The love I gave

Wasn’t enough to save us

The love you saved

Is what betrayed us

And now we’re nowhere

The time that we spent

I guess it all meant nothing

What was heaven sent

Leaves me lamenting something

That something is you

I miss us and the way we once were

What happened

Give In

It’s like an itch I can’t scratch

Lighting fire with a wet match

Cutting meat with a dull spoon

Trying to encapsulate the moon

To fight is futile

The beating’s brutal

I can’t outrun destiny

It has bested me

I guess I have to give in

Because I just can’t win

But winning isn’t supreme

In frosty breath

The chill of his presence

The misty night

With a frozen moon

Temptation  

this momentary hesitation

is the constant complication  

the contradiction 

      is the motivation to find 

      the true intention behind

a simple glimpse of your affection  

      so intense the passion ignites

the seed of such intense fascination

       that dwindles and dies

inside my

I’ll forget the pleasure 

of the pain you caused me

while in the firmness of your grip

I won’t give a second thought
to what I gave or what you got
but I’ll not soon forget your lips

I won’t recall the nights 

you left me feeling helpless
craving just your fingertips
I won’t ever

A Villanelle (Regarding a Certain Someone)

I find it hard to keep my head about me
Visions in my head of what the future could hold
The failure to be is all I can see

I think of our love like a villa by the sea
But the rafters are broken and full of mold
I find it hard to keep

There were things you thought you’d feel
Things left undone
But it had always seemed so real
You thought you were the one

Don’t think about the bitter cold 
That’s burning your cheeks
Or the icy wind that turns your skin bone dry
There’s nothing you can do
When winter’s reached its peak
You’ll get used to it by and by

Don’t think about your sorrows 
When your world falls apart
You couldn’t change it even if
