Lingering

In summer heat

We sip watermelon juice

Tasting lingering ambience

Clinging to you

Sun rays shine

On your glistening skin

You serenade to me

Your deep thoughts and whims

Take What Eyes Can See

My charity for you

Is to learn the business of me

See what I can do

Take what eyes can see

Let me show you something

That’ll give humanity its toll

If I could teach you one thing

It’s to never give up hope

Can You Convince Me?

Can you walk me through persuasion?

Convince me to sit upon the crown?

Tell me this world needs me

or it will surely drown.

Can you run me through some coaxing?

Give me the confidence I need?

Tell me all about this laughter

that will make entire worlds agree.

Pull Me Through

Sing me a lullaby

And help me pull through

Can’t be touched by anyone

Unless it’s you

Need you for safety

Remind me, don’t lie

That you’ll be there forever

You’ll help me get by

Tainted Memory

Give me an excuse to laugh,

Even though life is falling apart.

Without you here to hold my hand,

My heart’s twisting and growing tart

Mirrors turn away from me.

Eyes dim for everyone I see.

Without you here with me,

I’m lost and forever will bleed.

Now I sit as the villain in the story.

With all doors shut, people glance away.

You’re no longer my prince charming

After you left and refused to stay.

But what makes me the monster

after you turned my heart to gold?

You ripped the value from me

And whispered I’m wrecked. Now disposed.

Was I never worthy of you?

Or did you like to watch me bleed?

I gave everything to love you.

Forever a tainted memory.

What You Make Me

Lust

Betraying my own soul

For you

Livid

Giving into anger

Don’t know what more to do

Soft

The feel of my heart

When it’s sitting in your hand

Liar

What you turn me into

When you don’t let me understand

I Need To Know You

Love ached.

It tore.

It burned.

It took every piece of me and never gave it back.

Lost and withered,

my soul searched for something.

Anything to let it breathe.

At least one more time.

I need to feel something.

Anything.

I need to know you again.
