There is a place for me
Somewhere beyond my mind
Or maybe within my mind
Somewhere just for me

A place to cry
When my heart needs to most
A place to hide
From a world of pain

Somewhere to think
About the worlds mysteries
Somewhere I dont have to smile
When I'm not happy
Somewhere open
For when I'm yearning to be free

A place of beauty
A place of dreams
Somewhere there is a place
Just for me

What happened to that
Good ole fashion love story
We wrote so long ago
In tears and fears
And long blue jeans
And "babe, I love you so"

So what if you love me
I returned to you
For much to long ago
I brought a bucket for tears
A bunny for fears
And "babe, I love you too"

Lets go back
And write our story again
Ole fashion and beautiful
With smiles and laughs
And long blue jeans
And "babe, won't you marry me."

I sit alone
The rock benethe me
Uncomfortable.

I wish for you
To be here with me
In my arms

My only comfort
The crahs of waves
The song of the sea

I dream of you
Whispering to me
Loving me

Life would've been easier
If only I hadn't
     Loved you

It's weird
How the one
That made me laugh
Made me cry.
The beauty
That made my true self
Come out
Made me hide
Even deeper.
The wonder
That made me feel loved
Made me feel
Hated.

It's weird
How painful it is
That the one I loved
Left me forever

The winds whips playfully
Through the tips and wisps
Of her hair

It’s soft fingers linger
In the breath
Of the singer

The clear air lifts
The song off her lips
Lifts her voice of satin

Who am I
But a nightmare
Who tries to be an angel, I am
A shadow that only
Lives alone

Who am I
But a whisper
That makes no sound, I am
An echo with no words
Of its own

Who am I
But a thorn
That wishes it were a rose, I am
A thistle in a field
Of dandelions

Who am I
But a sharp note
That could be beautiful, I am
A note a note that makes
A minor chord

Who Am I?

                 *I am Me

Why do I wander?
I have no path to follow.

Why do I search?
I have nothing I wish to find.

Why do I wonder?
Life is set in its ways.

Why do I long to be happy?
It seems such an impossible dream.

Why do I remember?
It matters not what I did.

I was.
I am.
I will be.

That is why.
