Nobody calls
No one is here with me
That is what it is
No lie.
Deep down inside
I feel the heartache subside
No tears, no cries
Only the smile on my face
Lies.
To the world I’m okay
I feel loved
I feel treasured
But
I lie.
Inside
Inside I know
Know it is
Is a lie.

Tenderly
I hold my hand
intwined in yours
Tenderly
I sigh and look beyond
the ground beneath my feet
to the distance, cerulean sky
Tenderly
I know mine is yours
mine to love
yours to be behold
Tenderly
As we go together
through
our separate lives.
Tenderly

Standing on the precipice
Going forward
Then
Looking back to see
All those who stand
Stand with me.

Heaven lives
Inside of me
Part of you
All of what we see
Heaven is
Whatever you need it
To be
There around embracing you
Embracing me.
Heaven gives
To those that need
It’s strength, It’s love
Everything.
Let Heaven go
Let it be
Throughout our world
Loving you, loving me.

Wether we do
or
We don’t
Whether we stay
or
Don’t
Makes no difference
in
The universe
So to speak
But in our lives
It means everything
Everything.

Seeking answers
Trying to find
My way through
The sadness
I feel here in my mind.
Rain cries tears
From
My mournful eyes
My lips form words
I hope won’t make me cry.
And my feet
My feet run
As fast as they can
From the hurt, anger
I know, I feel
I have.
The only thing left
Is for me to abide
Hopefully tomorrow
The sun will shine
And
The only blue
will be in the skies.

Close by
Then far away
My thoughts travel
Travel
Throughout the day.
I wonder
Will they be right?
Will they say the truth
Or
Will they lie?
Will they protect
The ones I love
Make them laugh
Not
Make them cry?
Questions I ask
Thoughts I wonder
Throughout the day
Close by
Then far away.

Seems
No one is listening
To what I say.
Let it go, let it be
Resting in the knowledge
I am here, I am all
I have to be.

Hold me close, let me go
No more to see the agony
Keeping me all alone
Destitute
Far from where I want to be
Hold me
Hold me then let me go
Trusting I’ll find my way
No matter where the path may lead
Where I need to go.
