Solid Direction


Written: May 31, 2009
--------------------------------------------------

These poetical sketches of my internal origins are just shy of being observations of insanity
I think I know just what I'm feeling
I'm sure I think what I'm doing is right
I'm right to feel the way I do, but it's also true that sometimes I know not what I do
I am selfish and scared to change my ways since there is no clear cut path to follow
I can be so sure of what's right for you because I've been wrong before

We might as well all be strangers if we're not gonna be anything meaningful
Blink and you'll miss it
Everything's breathing, beating; turn your head and you'll hear the sound
There's always something looking for an open dream
Shaping thoughts into words solidifies them, makes their existance real to others
When the right words seem to run and all the feelings start to flow
From your head down to your feet you are the one
For me there is no other worth the time or energy
It's all a blur again
One more season has come and gone and who we've become is worth remembering

To experience the innocence of my youth you only have to ask me what I think
If my voice doesn't give me away, surely my conviction will
I have become the sum of my beliefs that bleed through the cracks in my speech
I have birthed many stories and truths before their marriage was even an option
Truth blessed truth, tie me down and set me free, so that I may be free to be my own person
There is no natural progression to follow, none aside from the ones we've already set in motion
Put in all you've got and you will see your words follow through in the right direction

Rest

Late night writing as usual.


------------------------------------------------------------

Like a dead celebrity, I'm worth more dead than I ever was alive
I'm a whisper of the past falling
Freedom always comes with a price; yours was paid with the pain I caused
There is no currency for change like redemption
I may be weak, but that's something that I know you'll never be
Though I'm embarrassed to admit it, the only thing you're guilty of is being innocent
You put yourself in danger with every test that you put me through
Love was never supposed to be a game

Apart our hearts part like red seas
Standing worlds apart in the same room
It’s clear to me that avoiding this feeling is getting us nowhere
It was so much easier to breathe with you next to me
I don't expect the impossible
I don't speak in guarantees and now you know why

In my dreams I'm helpless to turn away from your silence
Say anything; should I go or should I stay?
Whether it's to hold back tears or to keep your bright smile from escaping
Anything is reason enough to close these eyes tonight
I keep waking up without you even though I don't sleep anymore
I've never slept with you but I've felt rested with the best of you in my mind

You'd think that I'd know my nature enough to walk away before starting another fire
But my nature draws me to cross the line time after time
There ain't no happy ending worth reading about if it's not about you and me
Selfish I know, but at some point I had to put my dreams to bed
What makes me take such drastic steps to distance myself from you?

If it was anybody's guess, your touch would be the source of my unrest
The city sleeps; I wish I could say the same for me
I don't know how much more I can take before I begin to call myself a thief
The police aren't the only ones searching for the truth
The only difference is that they actually have a clue
If anything, my uneasiness is proof that I wasn't right
I was wrong to think and now I have no right to feel at all
I want to lose consciousness, but even more than that I want to lose my life to you
In life a sentence can be a sign of the end, but in most cases it's where things truly begin
My single-mindedness has finally passed its expiration

Compass


My head is swimming while my heart is drowning in this intense emotion
Sometimes hope can be so destructive
Misguided intent leads one in directions with no moral compass
You’d think that your sensible heart would know better
But you’re no better than you were a year ago
See I have no problem trusting you like I do, but ask me to extend that same faith to myself and my belief loses its ground
With no intention of asking for a light I continue to blow all my chances at seeing things for what they are
Realists never imagine what dreamers dare to see and I’ll never dare to be more than I’ve come to know
Living in the past tense only gets you so far
It’s easy to love what’s lost because nothing’s distracts quite like the past



Traces


I'm still learning my way around your mind
So excuse me when I look lost in you and the things you say
You aren't the problem; it’s my imagination's sense of direction
I'll follow close the guidance you've given me
If you'll follow the trust I've instilled in you
Believe me, I know your ways and I should back away from that fire in your eyes
But I need a little warmth; I won't touch, I just need to feel some heat
You've got plenty to spare, your touch is proof of this

No one admits that deep down we're all like glass
Tangible and strong to a point - We're all filled
I don't know all that you go through
But I know what I can do to understand you a little better
Let me get closer before you close your doors
It’s alright to not feel alright tonight
But for a moment let’s forget about the pressures of living
Let's just be ourselves, like before we knew any better

Another chance to start up conversation, don't hesitate to say anything around me
We don't have to see eye to eye, you don't have to be into the things I like
I'm into you; you make everything worth while
By the light in your eyes I can tell that you're coming around
There's not much I can do to help you, but I can listen to your breathing
Beating me to the punch, every utterance is profound
Simply put each line is walked upon ever so lightly

Your grace leaves traces of joy all over my face
Your heartbeat moves the world
Don't turn away from the eyes that see you for who you really are
Every move is a promise worth keeping
Every once in a while I fall into you when I know that I can only love you
I can't be the one you want to love, but I can still love you

Maybe someday you'll completely get why I look at you the way I do
For all the right reasons and maybe one that flirts with being borderline wrong,
daily we confess our love for one another
Brother, sister, companion or lover alike, they all love, each a little differently
Each love builds towards a cause and we have to handle it like a glass
We don't choose the ones that mean the most to us, they choose us
Before we knew what we were, we were close

Second Thoughts


We all fall in and out of love
Were we so distracted with each others needs that we forgot about what we ourselves wanted?
Is it selfish to think that I could do better, when you're already giving me your best?
I know that you love me somehow, but something just doesn't leave me needing you that way
Is your desperation deserving of my heart's attention?
Am I being dishonest with you by staying with you?
I don't want to hurt you, but it hurts me to stay when I've had so many opportunities to leave
I'm not looking but that doesn't mean that I don't want it
I'm not waiting, but I'm still here debating what it'd be like
Is it wrong to want what I can't have?
 
I could find another love interested in keeping me company
Daily I'm surrounded and approached by suitors, but none truly suit me
Take care while I take care of myself
I need to rest my head worry-free with someone who'll watch out for me
Life has not been easy for me, so take it easy on me
You got what you wanted; you've got a part of me
We rushed into this thing way too fast and I'm just starting to feel it now
That rush to my head I get when I think of you is giving me a headache
I don't know why I feel the way I do
When you can't be what I need
I try to imagine a better day that doesn't go the wrong way
At a day's end I want to be sure that we won't meet our end
 
I'm in this thing for you, so why do I have to put up with everyone else in your life?
I'm always defending our love and my place in your world
This up hill battle is relatively inexhaustible; it always starts anew with each and every person I'm introduced to
I just wanted to be yours, not his or hers or theirs; Is that so wrong?
I belong to you and you keep lending my patience to their needs
 
I try to see us making it past tomorrow, but that vision isn't always so clear
What's the point in working so hard for something we can't enjoy to the fullest?
Love shouldn't require so much sacrifice
This struggle that I've managed to mask with silent smiles is wearing thin
And somehow I know that I'm wrong to feel this way, but I can't help it
All of these regrets are nothing new; I could use a new beginning too
As indecisive as I've been lately I know that I want to follow through with you
Each and every day my affection for you changes
It’s strange that I can love you one minute and forget about you the next
You've been my strength and I've been your reason and your resolve
Some live to love and I'd love to live like them, if only for a moment



Disaster


My love is a disaster

Please tell the survivors that the worst has passed now that my touch lacks it fire

My misguided passion has stopped taking aim at every heart

Why is it that where we ended is such a far cry from the way we chose?

Leave it up to me to retract my attention's attraction to your being

I left my heavy-handed heart with my regrets which were few

I refuse to pass it on in its current condition

 

Decode


I've got an opening that you could fill
Like air in my lungs you give me another chance to live
When my faith is broken and my heart is beat, its you that gets me to my feet

I've been saying everything except what really matters
I always thought that you had something on me
By the way you were always checking me out
I want to keep you guessing so I keep close everything thats at the tip of my tongue
 
After sending my ego and swagger home for the night I'm not sure how to operate
Hiding behind enemy lines, am I in the mood for skin deep existence or soul searching life living?
When I'm real, do you believe in me?
Ignore all the pretty words and just listen to what I'm feeling
My words are few while my actions are many, it seems that I can't be completely still
There's not much that I can say when I know that you have so much going on in your life, so I just listen
Our time together has become a memory that my soul won't soon forget

Do You Love your Friends?

The hardest thing to do is to watch the one you love, love somebody else.

What do you do when the only person that can make you stop crying is the person that made you cry?

Everything is supposed to be okay in the end. If things aren't okay, then it's not the end.
