BROKEN PROMISES, SHATTERED DREAMS

                 I sit at my window and watch the rain dance
                 My cheek touching the cool pane of the glass
                    I tremble as the tears well in my eyes
                  My heart feels empty and dark as the night

                     Suddendly I know I'm no longer alone
                   I'm not afraid of this presence unknown
                   I feel a calming sensation enter my soul
                  My Angel has arrived to listen to my cries

               I gave my heart and soul to the love of my life
                Every emotion, every passion, every part of me
              Trusting and opening up like I'd never done before
             And now I must face the betrayal and heartache alone

                Why was I blinded by this love I thought real
            How could I not see the deception lying in the shadows
         My hopes, my dreams, his promises, all shattered and broken
            Struggling now to find my way back from being so lost

              I'm grateful now for realizing the truth of it all
              The trust I could not recognize was that of my own
                 Now I must believe and have faith in myself
             And walk away from this fantasy that filled my life

                  "Hush" says my Angel, "it will be alright"

                              LOCKED IN MY HEART

                You arrived so unexpectedly that special night
             Bringing me the hope of the love I thought was lost.
                     And though we live so very far away
           No distance can keep you from being locked in my heart.

                      I feel your presence all around me
               I see your warm smile, I feel your gentle touch
             I hear your voice whisper,  "I love you sweetheart"
                  This bond between us will live on forever.

           And until that wonderful day when we are finally united
                   You'll remain safely locked in my heart.

                               MY SHINING STAR   

                      When the night is dark and dreary
                        And the loneliness has set in
                          I look for my shining star
                      And feel your presence once again

                     You've made my dreams worth dreaming
                       Your strength has been my guide
                      You've given each day new meaning
                      My shining star radiant in the sky

               I'm comforted by the words you've written to me
                            I listen to our songs
                      They fill my heart with a longing
                       For you to hold me in your arms

                    We don't know what tomorrow will bring
                           But surely you must know
                      You will always be my shining star
                     Because my love, you are in my soul

                                Sunset Lovers 

                    We were all alone walking hand in hand
                    Our bare feet sinking in cool wet sand
                 The sun setting orange like a fountain spout
                       So lustrous no one would doubt. 

                      We walked along the water's shore
                   Our hearts and minds joined forevermore
                  His warm embrace caressed me ever so tight
              As he kissed me passionately throughout the night
