Sometimes I wonder who I am,
and where I'm going to.
It seems like so many years ago,
since I left you.
But now I'm gone, and I know I can't come back.
'cause I can't face the memories,
of looking through that crack,
to find you...
With another girl,
you let the truth unfurl.
That night when she walked by your door,
I knew there wasn't love anymore.
I ask myself why'd you leave and go with her?
You'll never answer I know,
because of the hurt.
I felt so much in you,
I thought we had it all,
but I guess I just imagined it,
'cause now you're gone, and you are...
With another girl
you let the truth unfurl,
that night when she walked by your door,
I knew there wasn't love anymore.

Darkness
I stare at the night
and watch the moon
slither in and out of the clouds.
A full moon-
my favorite kind.
I sit in the blackness
of my room
and
listen to the silence.
It is the night I live for,
the night is eternal.
For the night keeps me
existant.
And 'tis the night that keeps
away my fears.
Fear of lonliness-
and fear of death.
The night-keeps me safe.

I know you are there, even though your body is cold and raw.
Your spirit lightens up the darkest room and I know you are watching over me.
Protecting me, guiding me, showing me the way through the darkness and into the light.
You touch my shoulders with your angel wings and let me know I will be at peace.
You tell me to reach deep inside myself and find the good in me, the person I am inside who is
Strong, caring and courageous.
You give me strength to find my way.
Stand up, stand tall, shoulders back, you say.
You whisper in my ear, tell me what is right and what is wrong.
Your hands guide me, your soul touches mine.
You give the strength and light to make me shine.

Silence-
Listening to nothing around you
Darkness-
Watching the blackness move about you.
Hot-
Feeling the cold drops of sweat pour down your face.
Cold-
Shivering from the touch of hot air at your face.
Emptiness-
Touching the air surrounding you.
Sadness-
Laughing at the sorrow within you.
Happiness-
Crying to the one you love.

Deep, dark night
It fills the room.
He sits in a corner
and sings in his soft voice.
The music lifts his spirit
and fills his soul.
Song of love, power,
money, music friends.
Song of Life.
Verse after verse,
the words fill the room.
He retreats deeper into music,
becomes one with the night.
His long fingers strum
the strings on the guitar.
Note by note, they float
into the air.
One last chord
and the magic dies.
