Won't Let You Go

What if I told you
That I just can't let go
What if I told you
That your love is all I've ever known

I've tried so hard
To move on and forget
Not think of what we had
Live through all my regrets

But I can't stand
Not being with you
The force is just too strong
My heart pleads for a passion so true

The fire of desire
Will continue to burn
Yet I must hold back
A new path I must learn

A Boy in Shambles

A boy whose soul is lost and confused
Cannot reach out for what he needs
His smile is broken
His heart, shattered and full of greed

A light that leads us all
Has only flickered, and now died in his eyes
No matter how much we try to restore the love we know is there
We are met with fear and anger, and ask ourselves why

We take for granted
Our sources of love and inspiration
But as we try to get him back on his feet
Our everlasting patience soon hits its expiration

May he remember
That though his problems may come down on him
His friends shall be there to pick him up
And make the work to get up a little less grim

Tell Me

Tell me I'm dreamin
Tell me I have it all wrong
Tell me my eyes deceive me
Tell me to stop thinking what I've thought for so long

I can't go on
Not knowing if this love is true
Let me know if what you feel is real
Give me that final clue

I need to know
If I should start down a different road
Or if I can count on this love
Let all the walls erode

Come to me
Tell me you're there
And here will start a new beginning
"Love has arrived" I will declare

A World of Hurt

I'm tired of being shut down
Pushed around and shoved out
I need to know why you treat me this way
I want to know what this is all about

You yell and you scream
Until the walls cave in
The pain you deliver is so great
Makes my head spin

Do I really deserve
The harsh reality that seems to be thrown in my face
The cuts and bruises on my heart
Have replaced your warm embrace

It's easy
To confront my friends with a smile
Meanwhile in this dark pit
I'll wonder if my life is worthwhile

It seems that day after day
The battles I fight are the same
The effects on me are endless
Yet you think its pointless, you claim

Sometimes I wonder if I drifted off into a cloud
Would my problems all go away
Or will my life be characterized
By fear and disarray

I wish someone would just whisk me away
Show me the way to peace
Allow me to open up and help me show
That there is love that is eager to be released

Losing You

I've made a lot of mistakes
That have gotten me to this place
Lines of past experiences
Are worn upon my face

But the biggest mistake yet
Has been losing you
And so it becomes my pain
My happy days are now few

Though my feelings were strong
That did not keep me from seeing the worst
Your neglect was
Your greatest curse

If you had only told me
Saved me from this ominous end
I might still have you
Our love we could extend

You will forever be
A page in the story of my life
And a man like you
I will always strive to find

Broken Heart

What is love
If I can't be with you
This pain and confusion
I can't seem to undo

Your presence is nonexistent
Your face is fading from my memory
All these lies
Have put me in a state of quandary

You told me you loved me
You said you'd always be there
But now that you've gone away
It seems that you never really cared

My heart and soul
Is what I gave to you
But the present tells not
Of a love that once grew

So go down the path
That leads you to success
I shall be destined
For a life of distress

The Love of My Life

I've been down so many paths
Seen so many places
But the one thing that stops me in my tracks
Is the heavenly glow I see in your face

Between the sorrow and the tears
You are my guiding hand
Every time I fell upon my knees
You took my hand and helped me to stand

From the moment I met your gaze
I knew there was something special about you
After so many mistakes and broken hearts
My belief in love at first sight was renewed

When you hold me in your arms
My world is on pause
The feeling of your love
Defeats any that every was

The beauty and strength
Which lies deep within
Makes me full of wonder
As my hand brushes against your skin

Angels must have sent down
One of their own
Because you are the most perfect man
That I have ever known

A Crushed Heart

Here I am
Trying to clean up this mess
This pile of pieces of my heart
The strength I once had to go I no longer possess

I loved you
As flowers love the sun
But now you've gone away
And in my sky, the clouds have won

I find it hard to go a day
Without thinking about you
But I know it has become worthless
My voice has gone unheard, my feelings subdued

I thought you were perfect
I knew you were the one
In my heart I saw us together
A lifetime of searching was now done

But I guess it's time to move on
Forget the memories
And leave my doors wide open
To wait for the sign of destiny
