P1

i am
living in a world
where smiles are all around,
how could i not want to capture it?

curiosity got the better of me,
while happiness got the better of you,
you're a face with no name but i wanted to remember it,
that's why i took it for my own.

it's a picture,
not a crime,
over in a brief second,
a momentary click,

you are my centerpiece,
both on paper and in my heart,
as the woman from the moment i want to remember,
forever.

Raise me up to drop my call

It's an escape from broken hearts
A game of twisted fate,

Hearts and tables turned over,
Closed for the night

Taking all the time you need
To shun away the world.

Hate is spiting out of our mouths

Touching the chords of our hearts,
The ones that stop them from beating,
Causing tears to start running from this broken home,
To a place where we long for the warmth of love,
Lying restless in the corner,
Trying to fall asleep without closing my eyes for the last time.

Beautiful figures in front of me,
Forcing such unhapy thoughts into my hands,
Holding my head under the waters of doubt,
Drowning helplessly.
I thought beautiful people only brought the happiness shown on tv,
All I'm seeing for is sadness.

Broken clocks and forgotten hearts

But although I've kept my distance,

You still catch my eye,

Every year I'm hoping you'll come back,

Standing where I stood all those years ago.

It's a holiday but nobody's celebrating,

We're all around,

Looking down,

At what's in our hands.

It's awkward,

Messy,

And not so routine,

But that's what makes it perfect.

It's the Christmas I remember with you.

Love's so hard to find when someone's on your mind

I couldn't make her understand that I'm her man,
I just wasn't the one she was looking for.

And yet,
With broken hearts we persevered,
To find beings with equally broken hearts,
So that we may settle for a life less meaningless.

As winter fills our hearts

So does our fear of the dark.
The unknown fog makes us scared,
Long, lonely, nights for which we're unprepared.

But we've got hope.
There's always star-lit skies to help me find my way,
As we pray that maybe we're not really so alone,
Cause people are always looking for us.

Find your map,
Draw the line.
This is no time for a nap,
Keep going and you'll be fine.

Please come find me,
I've been lost for eternity.

Drawn out arguments

But not rehearsed.

Unprepared debates,

Things un-meant, said.

I'm sure you're looking to get me back,

For the things I said,

Even though I felt them,

I didn't mean them,

And maybe I was scared.

But instead of showing that,

I scared you away with fear,

Lost, afraid of coming home,

Everything's been torn apart.

What a mess,

Is me,

At least,

It's not you.

Destinations

Rest your eyes,

I"ll get you there,

Another place,

Another time,

A different moment from where we are now,

And you'll be with a different man from who I am,

Different.

// 

The road is long,

Many twists and turns,

With nowhere really for you to hide.

///

Where's your man now,

Lost maybe,

Regardless I'm here,

Trying to pick up the broken pieces trailing behind you.

\//

Let's get going,

As if we were unknown to each other,

Finding out how to love again,

Loving each other once more,

Not really knowing where this is going,

Even if we're afraid of what waits for us at the end.

I want to be true

Is it love that you want
Or just someone to pamper?

Do you enjoy being the sun
Do you want me to be your moon,
We'll never see each other-
But maybe that's what you want?

This way we never work,
I want to be true,
Since that's you,
I could never give that,
I could never love you.

At least not the way you define it.

This hell isn't your own

When you say you won't forget me,
I can tell you that that's untrue.
Because every day since you've left me,
I've thought less and less of you.

And though our bodies are close to one another,
Our hearts are far apart.
Sit tight and listen close,
The ride is about to begin.

Now that the games are over,
The story actually starts to unfold.
And while you thought you were the main character,
The truth will now be told.
