You Cry

Stopped wondering today
Why I forgot to smile
Stopped remembering the day
How I learnt to die
If your wondering why I turn
I turn 'cos love's a lie
Don't wanna be ur life
Don't want u in mine

But you take my breath away
Even when I break you
You take my breath way
I can't defeat you
You take my breath away
Cos its a prayer that I say
I hope you never find the day
You remember why
You cry

Sometimes I wonder if I don't say it
Will it disappear
I know if I break u so many times
you'll learn fear
But somehow you know that I
I need you here
Without you near
I might not survive

But you take my breath away
Even when I break you
You take my breath way
I can't defeat you
You take my breath away
Cos its a prayer that I say
I hope you never find the day
You remember why
You cry

And when you lift me throw me up
I remember the miracles I forgot
This place I'm in you've always been
The whisper in my heart

But you take my breath away
Even when I break you
You take my breath way
I can't defeat you
You take my breath away
Cos its a prayer that I say
I hope you never find the day
You remember why
I cry

The Edge of all Things Strange and Beautiful

Dear You

You held me when I was broken
Held me together
Kept my breath in my body
As my soul fell apart
You throw me
Into the sky
Passing rainbows and clouds
Touching the stars
You free me
Knowing I can never be captured
You let me find you
All on my own
You breath me
For it is you
and only you
I will let
To breath me in

The Green Eyed 19th

Tell me again
Once more
Why I shouldn't
When I really should
When tomorrow brings you here
And takes you away from there
I know its not fair
But this is your battle
And I see in your eyes
You're losing
And I don't want to win
Not like this
Tomorrow
I know will bring you home
But then I would be gone
I would have fought mine
And won
For this I apologize
And for your eternal journey
Of love

I hold my breath

So when I take the next
I've known the value of life
I close my eyes
So that when I wake
I've known dark from light
I walk barefoot
So that my feet knows
The feeling of this earth
I choose to love
For when it breaks
My heart will heal and grow

Just Another Spring Day

I wondered at that pigeon
Hopping along side another
Head held high
A soldier warring for her pride
hiding a limp
I wondered at her
Another passenger
Another pedestrian
In this town
Of eternal winter
And seldom sun
A single legged miracle
All her life a balancing act
And as the bus moved along
I wondered if it was an act at all
Or if somewhere down her one footed life
The brave face stuck
Until all that was left
Was her
Simply a soldier
a Soldier
Warring for her pride

Looking for shortcuts!!!

What's with ppl when they've crossed certain barriers they lose their braveness. It's like they've build themselves up for just one moment and after that's passed it's like they drop themselves at the fence and curl up to fall asleep. Isn't life about looking for the next something something? Finding the next to do in the list? I never ever thought I'd find myself here. 'Cos I've always been da gutsy one. Don't Like - Walk Away, Bored - Move on, Been There Done That - Turn the page. I don't believe in sitting still and watching moments pass by, but that's exactly what I've been doing. Changing that!!! NOW.
