Inside Out

Things happen
People steal
Hearts torn apart
Slowly heal

When you walk right by
A tear falls from my eye
I wipe it away
And go on with my day

Never certain if I'll hear from you
You're blissfully unaware of what you do
When it's answers I seek
You have no words to speak

The darkness dances in front of the light
Signaling the start of yet another long night
Crossing that bridge, I nearly fall
Couldn't you have paid any attention at all?

Yet, I held on with all of my might
Knowing I stood alone in this never-ending fight

Something to Wait For

Reaching out for something more

Before my mind shuts this door

Until my soul lingers for more

I’ll keep the faith that fills every pore

Why can’t I take this frame

And bend it back again

Will I be lost in this game

Unable to see through the shame

Shadows cast over the light

Which barely braved the darkened night

My question is, how long will you fight

When there’s only this horrid image in your line of site

Am I capable of something more

I’ve never succeeded when keeping score

The sense of loss becomes a chore

When the life you’ve longed for is no more
