Restless,
In the Blink of an Eye,
Look Inside,
Thought it was over,
Memories
Restless
There’s something in the air
I don’t know what - it isn’t fair
I’m not calm - how can I be?
There it is again - or is it just me?
I can’t put my finger on it
Yet it feels like I’ve just been hit
I’m so restless - I don’t know why
But tomorrow - I’ll find out
-June 2/97
In the Blink of an Eye
The best is yet to come
Though sometimes I wonder
Has it already passed
In the blink of an eye?
In the blink of an eye
Lots of things change
Like them going away,
Acting so selfish, not sane.
In the blink of an eye
A life can begin, then die
Never getting a chance to live
To experience happiness and grief
In the blink of an eye
So much can pass by
So open your eyes
You’ve already missed the past.
-June 1-2/97
Look Inside
Look inside,
tell me what you see
Is it hope
or despair that I feel?
Am I bright
or turning blue?
Maybe black,
all rigid and cool.
Do you know?
Do you see?
Can you tell
how I really feel?
Look in my eyes
can you guess my past?
Too late now,
this breath is my last.

Thought it was over
I thought it was over
And the sparks were gone
The fire was out,
There was no love
But it all came back
Though so many times
I believed
That I had changed my mind
I can’t help it
What can I do
I have no choice
But believe the truth
-June 6/97
Memories
Every little sound or scent
Tears me away from the present
Pulls me back to a far-away place
A place I thought I had to hate
The mere sound of a familiar song
Even though I know it’s wrong
Brings tears to my eyes and heart
As I remember those aweseome times
I squeeze my eyes shut
Trying to keep the memories out
But scenes flash before my eyes
Little fragments of the near past
Some things that are forever changed
And others that I have to face
-June 9/97
