“Shaded truths and broken hearts”
completed on 9/13/06

sitting alone in my cozy haven of a room
photos of you scattered ’round the floor
the images feel so bright and recent
vivid recollections of when I had you

i feel your warmth now
lost in the memories of us
i reach out to grab you
to caress your smooth hair
to taste those soft lips
to lose myself in those bright eyes
and to feel your warm embrace
but the images only fade as my daydream abruptly ends
and i am now cold and lonely on the floor

shaded truths and broken hearts
built this layer around you
and now I’m left here praying
time would change you

“22”
written on 9/13/06

the future is so uncertain
there are no roadsigns at this fork in the road
there are no u-turns to the past I know so well
can’t I just pull over and get my bearings for a while?

i thought I had it all figured out
they said if I had a college degree
that is all I would need
but now I’m driving alone in this car meant for two
and I’m just grinding my gears
as I can’t figure out whether or not to lay off the brake
as I look for another route

the billboards are only advertising
the dead-end jobs I have been through
and the signs on the side of the road aren’t pointing to any location I haven’t already been to
and with all the weight of of this moment I am not sure how to keep this engine from stalling

from blown out tires to broken glass
i’m sure you all know what it’s like to feel stranded
trying my best to avoid the circuits
that only spin me around
show me the right interstate where I can fly free

“My Apology”

i took it as a game
i was never mr. popularity so now it’s my turn to shine
it wasn’t love or lust
it was for a short-lived thrill
but it’s always kiss and tell

(chorus):
’cause in my life
i’ve tripped up
it’s so easy to mess up
but I’m not excusing any of it
i guess this is my attempt at an apology

walking past you without acknowledgment
i never meant to be ill-intentioned
i ignored your heart
and now I wish
i never would have crushed you
i hope it didn’t take long to get over me

(chorus)

but now I’ve changed
i’ve cleaned up my act
i’m back to the way I was meant to be
nothing but chivalry
but all’s not fair in love and war
the past always comes back to haunt you
the rumors spark
and now I’ve got more than one girl hurt
please know that I’m so sorry

(chorus)

“Snowflakes”

dreams melt away like snowflakes
so fragile to the touch
like a spring I never asked for
i blinked and you were gone

i remember when you danced around
i was nothing but delight
each rotation you made enchanted me
i wanted nothing more

sometimes you can try too hard
like when I reached out to touch you
you melted on my finger tip,
i never should have tried so hard

a raindrop is all that remains now
or is it my own tear?
it slides off the foliage only to slip through my hands as well
i never asked for the seasons to change
this all seems so unfair

i want to freeze this moment, but the season isn’t right
it’s time for me to move on

“Memory Box”
written on 12/28/05

lying restless in my lonely bed
the answers aren’t so clear
my purpose seems beyond my grasp
and I’m left here with a half empty glass
but then again so is my soul

flipping through a stack of cards
with compliments and warm regards
only half are still intended
what would you say now to the things you have written?

she wants my pictures locked up in a memory box
but the memories still feel too warm to me
i can’t let go of the past
it’s always bittersweet to look back
why must I forget the things that once made me smile?

i’m haunted by fleeting thoughts of things that once have been
would I feel at rest if I could store everything in a heartless box?
but things aren’t so simple
when there’s smiles and telephone calls
a daily reminder of what used to be

“Guardian Angel”
written on 12/27/05

always missing just one thing
feeling incomplete
i’ve spent too much time looking
in all the wrong places
and now i’m nowhere I should be

it’s time to leave
i should be more than this
and then from this haze
i see her glow

(chorus):
guardian angel
such a beautiful angel
won’t you take me away
to a better place?

i’d gladly exchange
my grime for your white clothes
sometimes the bad guys
don’t always win

(chorus)

her golden hair
and deep blue eyes
her pure white dress
while I am such a mess
why did she end up latching on to me?

(chorus)
