Don't forget what we said.

Feeling Strong Feeling

I don’t know how to say what’s wrong

I just know that I feel it strong

And  I know now what lonely means

With every kiss, come twenty stings

One for knowing it means nothing

Even though it does to me

One for seeing where we’re going

When staring off, blankly

One for me and one for you

The rest for hopelessly wondering who

Who will be under your chest

After you grow tired of my best

Who will make your smiles turn real

Will they feel for you, the way I feel

Love In Friends In Love

I rested my head on you after my fall
Nothing more than friends was all
Played with our feelings, turned them to jokes
Now I see what that behavior provokes

What happens once you break the ice
With a good soul you run to for advice
Playing in the cold can make you grow numb
And I fear my conscience is turning to scum

I cannot allow what we have to dissolve
Because of my nonsense I need to resolve
I sense something here and I think you do, too
But I cannot tell if it's old or new

Either way, I fear moving forward
Without knowing what I'm moving toward
What is this? I cannot see
I found myself lost, once I set my soul free

I cannot allow this to be
Let's be free... Let us be free.

Fire Starter Star

Reaching for a star I burned my fingers up
So I grab ice and a cup
Poor in the tequila
The ice is for my fingers and the drink is for my heart
He tore it all apart
But drinking makes it better

I wake up in the morning and all the stars are gone
So I look for the sun
Put on my favorite shades
The shades are for my eyes and they're also for my look
He reads me like a book
But this way he can't see me

As I am running I find another place
I believe this is space
I've never seen this planet
Somehow I feel safe, and I feel really good
Not all is understood
But I've learned I can travel

Where I am now, I may never know
I'm always on the go
And there's no map for freedom
Even if our worlds flow so parallel
It won't change our farewell
...

I was standing outside in the cool, night air
The wind was moving and it blew my hair
My eyes were looking at the life around
And I did not expect to see what they found
The wind stopped blowing and my face was cold
Never, in my life, have I felt so old
My knees lost strength and they hit the dirt
My heart lost strength and my insides hurt
Too many eyes looking down at me
So many eyes that will never see
So I found my ignition and I turned the key
'Cause he was not who I made him out to be.

When you smiled, I did. When I smiled, you did.

Do you still have a smile, or have you gotten rid?

I do not get to see, so I have to ask to know

I remember, last we spoke, you just wanted me to go

For a while I fought it and I did what I could

But you've made it pretty clear that it did me no good

So now I'm going out and I'm living a new

And I meet people without them ever meeting you.

Candied Cherry Gore

Did you love me all the time you said you did back in school?
Were you waiting for the day that you could play me a fool?
Where did you go because I did not see signs
Maybe I should have learned to read between lines


Why have I not heard a single sound of your voice?
You know I am hurt and retreat was my only choice
I cannot run away, but cannot run at all
I am hurt and wonder when to expect your call


Do you love me like you just said you do?
Are you waiting for the day I go searching for you?
I tried to stop you, because I felt this was wrong
I tried to keep us together, where we belong.


Why does my heart remain where I was shot?
Where you forced me to leave the hardest fight I have fought
I wish to stand, putting all my heart in my strife
But this heart is being held by the blade of your knife.
