"back"
6-21-98

Taking these chances,
Spilling your heart out on the table,
Crying tears to fill an empty soul.
Completing it all,
Finding that you've lost yourself;
And leaving your dreams behind in the process.
Falling all apart;
Losing that one thing that held it together.
Forgetting what it meant before.
Walking hand in hand,
Only I pulled away and walked out into the street.
I'm back now.

"Follow Me"
5-31-98

Words leave me here at night,
They fall away with the light.
Coming darkness; shimmering moon,
Why must it all leave so soon?

Forget these dark nights alone;
Leave them along the passing road.
Forget me as the years go by,
And I'll see you through to the end.
Follow me there.
Follow me to the waning moon,
Follow me through it all,
And then leave me on the doorstep of death.

"Innocent Beauty"
6-21-98

Rising confusion.
Looking to the right and seeing innocence.
Watching her beautiful lips move,
Hearing her song spill out of her lips,
Gazing at her through clouded eyes,
And feeling the emotions come.
My heart racing, thoughts tumbling.
I gaze ahead and wonder,
And then I see that these emotions
Must be hidden like the light in my life.
I have to listen and understand,
These thoughts must be forgotten.
I don't want to forget; I want to speak.
I want to hear her voice a little longer.
I want to remember her face,
When I've forgotten the others.
I want to feel her arm brush mine once more.
I know it can't happen,
I know that she'll soon forget,
And I know that she doesn't need me.
These feelings keep coming back.
They return with every sunrise,
Every starlit sky shines on me as a reminder
Of what cannot be, and what must stay silent.
