Lost Opportunity

How can this be
That it's over before it begun
I didn't even tell you how I feel
My song was never sung

I had all my hopes up
I put all my faith in a dream
I guess I was mistaken when
In your eyes I saw that gleam

We played this game of cat and mouse
You carried me along by a string
By the end you had it figured out
And I'm left wanting something, anything

You didn't let me in
Let me show you who I am
So what I thought we were building
Turned out to be a sham

You may not know it yet
But you've hurt me down to the core
I gave you all the chances you needed
So here is the door

Emotional Trauma

The damage has been done
The effects, irrevocable
Unstable

What was bad is now worse
Causing all distress
Powerless

Finding peace doesn't seem plausible
We all have our defects
Rejected

Saying this and that
Like my heart is a toy
Destroyed

All this despair
Put me under so much stress
Depressed

I'm in a cold and dark place
Just like a tomb
Gloom

Not sure how I'll make it through
If and when, it's all unclear
Happiness, it's the last frontier

To the Soldier in My Life

Here I am

Thinking of you

Wondering the next time

I’ll see those pearly blues

I know you’re off carrying out Uncle Sam’s wishes

Doing the best you can

But not to worry

I can’t imagine myself with a worthier man

Yes I’m shy and cautious

Want to take things slow

That’s because although we’re apart

Together, there’s always room to grow

So here’s a picture

To remember our beginnings

And if all goes well

We won't have to see the end
