I Miss You

Nov 2012 Z

Mary Rose

Who would have known I would miss you
All talks of our problems
And even the nonsense
Who would have thought I would miss you
Your faces, your voices, your graces

Who would have known I would miss you
I did not, for all those times I was afraid
All I wanted is to leave, and thought this is insane
- this is nonsense, it drives me more crazy as it is

Who would like to talk about themselves
Especially their problems and insanities
Who would like to hear others' problems
When it'll only bring up their insecurities

Who would like to talk about themselves
The same problems going on about you
Surely that would be tiring

Who would like to talk about themselves
When you know nobody really cared
So who would have thought I would miss you
Even if these notions are true

Who would have thought I would miss you
Why can't I wait for the next day
The next week, the next date
Will it ever going to be the same day

Who would have thought I would miss you
Eager to hear your voice
Eager to learn more about you
Eager to talk and hear more

But mostly I'm eager to feel your companionship
your friendship's grace
all your smiling faces and your warm embrace

Who would have known I would miss you
I bet you wonder too
But know that I do now
and know that I appreciate you

Storm of Pain

Storm of Pain

She lies in bed late at night
and listens to the pouring rain.
The falling drops are comforting,
but it doesn't numb the pain.

She hides beneath her blanket,
the wind outside howling sadly.
The noise isn't able to keep out
the pain she hates so badly.

She puts her head beneath the pillow
to try and block all the sounds
of the anger and emotion
that off walls and ceiling bounds.

The storms of family fighting
rushes through the house like hurricanes.
Yet even though it hurts her heart,
from crying she always refrains.

She pretends she's deep asleep
as someone knocks on her door.
'Please, just leave, go away,
I can't take this anymore.'

She lies in bed late at night
and wishes for better days.
Though she knows it's futile,
she waits for the sun's shining rays.

Alone

Alone

Here I sit, alone at my desk.
Alone with myself, not always the best.
I sit and I ponder, I wonder what next.
For this soul left asunder, alone at his desk.

Be single they say, it's all for the best.
"For the best?" I stressed, maybe for the rest.
For this soul who sits, alone at his desk.
Alone with himself, is not for the best.

"Made Me Dance"

"Made Me Dance"

She made me dance
till I sweat my soul out
on the crowd, the girl
in the tight dress with legs
up to heaven and back
put her hands on my tired shoulders
She made me laugh out my
heart, across the lights and bass
thumps that rattled my rib cage
while the music played
and the friends on my arms
held me up to heaven and back
with their helping grins
She made me happy as
I sang my lungs out with
a fox lady whose nails
scratched sweet life all over my
back and I fell in love
I fell in love with the way
She made me dance
