You see the beauty.
I see only questions
which need no answers.
I am at once
vulnerable and defiant.

You cut through the pretence
of the important trivial things.
The morning news
is enough to bring me down.

I sulk in bed, wondering
what is the point of getting up.
You make sure I find one every day.

You know the significance
of not taking my navel-gazing
too seriously.

And when I despair at the futility
of trying to fix the broken world,
you show me with your endless zeal
and unwavering hope
that just trying
can make all the difference.

My Darling
Come with me
into my arms
and you will see
I’m thinking about
You and me

We’ve grown apart
over the years
And to tell you the truth
it’s driving me to tears

Come into my arms
Where you need to be
So we can think
Just you and me

Perfection is not mine,
There is no such thing
I’m the last child
ruining their golden years,
I do admit I’m the lucky one
I have everything I’d ever want, except love, forgiveness
Hope and perfection,
Well, maybe love,
But without the little glimmer of hope in our house
Love, Hope and Forgiveness ceases to exist
Hope?
I am hopeless
Forgiveness?
Never
Hold grudges, no apology
Un-accepting of prof : evidence
Automatically punished, hit, slapped
Constant yells of now reflecting the whispers of the past
Living on, living on
Forevermore
Love, Hope, Forgiveness and perfection nevermore, nevermore

Let them live as they wish.
A bustling city
filled with magnificent buildings,
and perfectly polished cars,
but never a moment of peace.
I’d rather live on rolling hills
underneath a vast sky.
To wander through fields,
and bask in the morning sun.
To smell the sweet perfume of the
lilac trees.
I’d rather live in peace
than to be surrounded by never ending
streets,
and the constant rerring of cars
passing by
I’d rather live unseen by all but
a few
than to have everyone know my
name.
If I could live as I wish
I’d rather live in
peace...

When I'm alone
I feel free
I feel so free
That I can just be me

When I.m not alone
I feel constricted
I feel so constricted
That I can hardly breathe

But when I'm with you
I feel everything
I feel so much of everything
That I can finally see
My stone soul softens
My singular words become sentences
My steady breath quickens  
My still heart beats again
When I'm with you
I finally feel alive
