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

In the Midst of Tradegy

We had a hidden love
Spurred by passion and trust
But this endeavor has been abandoned
The reasons seem unjust

We promised each other the world
But we really just wanted comfort
We talked for hours about nothing
All we need was the support

I thought we had it all
In my young years, I had found what all human beings desire
But then you left me to suffocate
Your love for me had expired

You meant the world to me
So now what have I got?
The feelings I have and the heart that beats with love
Are all things you've left and forgotten

Of all the things I had to offer you
Love was my greatest gift
And all of a sudden you slip away
A question unanswered, a burden I cannot lift

Why you are gone
Is still a mystery to me
But the love that we shared won't go unnoticed
In my heart you'll always be
