“Novel”
completed on 9.7.12

i spent the bulk of my life on the east coast
it should make up most of my history
but my previous chapters aren’t half the length
as the one currently spent finding myself

i’ve lost faith
i’ve crossed doubts
i’ve had times when i just scream and shout
but it’s discovering myself
that this life is truly about

there are days when i can’t figure out
what this chapter is supposed to be about
i search for love and i find hope
then i get spun around
just to start all over again

i watch over you
i feel your pulse wearing out
fading like the passion in your eyes
i can tell your pen’s running out of ink
as you write the final pages of your life

you remind me how brief our novel can be
making life more like a short story
i’m thankful for my memories
but i still have more to write
’cause i’m still dreaming of seeing you in all white

i’ve lost faith
i’ve crossed doubts
i’ve had times when i just scream and shout
but i won’t give up
’til i show you what true love is all about

“Little Things”
written on 8.26.12

not sure why my happiness is a destination
always around another bend
guess it’s ’cause i want the happy ending
and can’t enjoy the little things

but when you long for happy endings
you notice the extremes
but the lows are so much tougher
than the highs mixed in between

i’ll play second fiddle
i’ll play rhythm while you solo over me
i’ll buy my time ’cause one day
she’ll hear my song and listen to me

i’ve filled my skin with ink
to remind me of who i need to be
if only etching you in my mind
was as easy as bringing you to me

i won’t be the first star in the sky you see
but i’ll be the brightest when you find me
’cause all i’ve ever wanted
was to light the night for you

i’ll play second fiddle
i’ll play rhythm while you solo over me
’cause i’ll be there for more than a chorus
i’ll do anything to show you your worth

“Incomplete #2”
completed on 8.24.12

i don’t know why tears form every time
romantic movies play before my eyes
maybe it’s because i dream of the day
when true love will finally come my way

i watch the sun rise and fall
another day that’s come and gone
there is nothing i could ever achieve
better than feeling love wash over me

i’ve changed cities
i’ve changed states
i’ve tried everything
but i’m still incomplete

i’ll climb another mountain
swim across another sea
anything to find your love
anything to have you notice me

i can’t skip to the good part
where you finally fall in love with me
i have to wake up another day
and hope to find you shine on me

just know i’m on my hands and knees
praying today’s the day that we meet
i’ll try everything
because without you i’m still incomplete

“Keychain”
completed on 7.19.12

you say that you can’t help
but feel you’re getting older
that your youth is fading faster
that your time is running out

you feel like the doors are quickly closing
between you and those with careers and families
and now you’re staring at a locked door
where every choice you make
feels like you’re using the wrong key
keeping you outside of where you want to be

but when you’re staring at your keychain
remember there is no master key
’cause every moment that you lived through
etched the ridges to make those keys unique

so savor every moment
and don’t stop searching ’til you’ve made it
’cause when you find the door that opens
you’ll find it was your self-discovery that turned the lock and key

“Your Heart”
completed on 7.14.12

i always go the long way
to try to feel less alone
i wish i had something to grab your attention
so i hope my smile is enough to catch your eye

sometimes i wish i wrote a chorus that made you want to sing along
sometimes i dream i penned a poem and you memorized every word
if only i could hit the notes to sing your melody
if only life played out to the script running through my mind

i’m staring at the sunset and wonder
if it’s the same canvas you see from your bedroom
i’m laying under the stars and wonder
if they make my eyes glow just like yours

if the sun won’t rise to guide you
i’ll paint stars in the sky to light your way
if you ever feel lost at night
i’ll burn bright ’til you reach home

i have so much to give you
but don’t know where to start
if only you could see my good intentions
if only i knew i could win your heart

“Raindrops and Tears”
completed on 6.9.12

not sure how this will trickle out
if you will soak it up
or wish these words would just evaporate

so i’ll let it all pour out
and hope you absorb my thoughts
rather than leave them to dry up

the things i have to say
i hope they make it rain
but only as a sun shower
’cause i can’t stand to be
the cause of black clouds hanging over you

what i have to do will cause some tears
but the only thing i’ll ever want
is for them to make us blossom and grow

even though i have to go
i’ll never let you drown
i’ll be the currents pushing the storms away
and the life raft always keeping you afloat

“My Song For You”
completed on 5.20.12

i see the beauty in your heart
you’re the rarest work of art
you always find a way
to give me a brighter day

all i ever wanted was to pen the lines
you use to sing yourself to sleep
the ones that keep you up all night
dreaming of a better life

when you’re sad
when you’re hurt
when you dance ’cause everything is right
when the fire inside you burns so bright

i want to be in the words you use
in the thoughts you form
helping you weather through the storm
protecting you from any bruise

i want to be your light
to make everything all right
to shield you from any pain
everything for your gain

i want to be in the ink you use
as you draw yourself a better life
one of the hands you use to boost yourself up
to be there for anything you choose

i want to be in the air you breathe
when life’s weight is crushing you
i want to be in the sunlight
guiding you out of the darkness tonight

all i ever wanted was to give you a better life
you would make the most amazing wife
’cause you always find a way
to give me a brighter day

“Left Behind”
written on 5.9.12

i see a couple on a bench
hands intertwined
while the only thing i hold
is fading memories that can’t shake the cold

i see them on the bench
warmth and laughter
close lips and starry eyes
their love lighting up the skies

i run towards that light
see something that would be so bright
but you’re always just out of reach
leaving me so empty underneath

i reach for your hand
to pull me from an icy current i can hardly stand
but you’re not there
at times it’s too much to bear

i see the moment come and go
each time i’m left behind
i watch you smile, feel your glow
but then am left buried in the snow

can’t i find the one that’s mine
the one who makes me shine
i want to burn bright with all my might
but i need your love to feel alright

“Find a Way”
completed on 4.26.12

you agree to see me
choose to go against the flow
and do something that’s unknown
to see where this could go

i would love to lead with my heart
but this isn’t the part
of my life where i get to worry
about finding my future wife

i’m running but there’s always a part of me
that feels so empty
hope there’s not a price to pay
for fighting for a better way

i love the things i show
that make you glow
i wish we had more time
being with you shouldn’t feel like a crime

i don’t want to grow old
to find myself in a world so cold
i will fight to make you mine
but you have to give me time
for our love to truly shine

please believe the things i say
don’t let everything we have fade away
one day we will have it all
making these struggles seem so small

“Couldn’t Say”
completed on 4.15.12

you’ll never know
i see you turn your head
but can’t say what’s on my mind
i feel your breeze as you walk past
and now you’re gone
and i lost my chance
you’ll always be a mystery
because i couldn’t bring myself to say

you’re beautiful
if you’re the same inside
then you’ll really blow my mind
so please be kind
and tell me everything on your mind

i know i’d be at my best
with your head upon my chest
i miss the rush of being in love
knowing i’m on your mind
not feeling left behind
we weren’t meant to be alone
but i always get stuck that way
because i couldn’t bring myself to say

you’re beautiful
if you’re the same inside
then you’ll really blow my mind
so please be kind
and let me join you by your side
