“Lock ‘n Key”
written on 5/23/11

you turn the dial to the right
stop at a number you learned from our first date
twist the dial to the left
chose a memory from our daily routine
but you can’t figure out the sequence
because you didn’t listen to the subtle clicks
or ask in greater detail
the things that open me

the things i cherish
the current that makes my heart beat
i keep safe deep inside of me
i wish you would have sought to unlock
the sources of my smile

you are such a caring person
but you don’t hold my key
if you wanted to see me burn bright
shine with an even greater intensity
then you had to explore deeper
i want someone who searches floor by floor
until they discover all the things that make me me

“Mob Scene”
completed on 3/4/10

this may be my final hour
but this will be my finest hour
resentful voices echoing all around me, taunting me
feel your anger, creeping in

you disdain the hope you see in my eyes
you don’t understand the values that i choose to keep
you’re frustrated by the beauty that you cannot see
you’re too blinded by the things you feel you need

you feel the need to ridicule me
you hope your jeers slowly chip away at me
you won’t let me calmly walk away this time
you’re convinced that it’s time for me to die

you’ve got me surrounded in an alley way
pointing your finger, it’s the gun you choose to aim at me
you load the chamber
malicious words transforming into bullets
but when the gunshots ring
i’ll be like my mentor
and turn the other cheek

“Peter and the Rockstar”
written on 1/11/09

his voice echoes in her ears
sweet and sexy a-sharp melody
whispering in her ear the words she knows so well
body glistening in the lighting symphony
notes that reverberate within her bones

as she sings along word for word
they can make her sway to the chorus of the song
but they can’t shake your heart the way that i could
my simple words don’t follow a rhythm
and won’t make you dance the night away
they won’t parade around on stage
but were spoken just for you

and peter shakes his head
hurt and confused how their melodies wisp her away
and sighs knowing he is just a simple man
but he knows that as the stage lights fade and amps unplug
his words will be much louder
touch her much deeper, leave her much warmer
’cause his words were meant just for her
