“Unrequited”
written on 4/4/09

i just laugh as i flip through the dictionary
your definition of friendship falls under acquaintance in my book
you said so many kind things before you kicked me to the street
but now i question everything based on your apathy

you say you want to be friends
but your words don’t match your actions
’cause i only hear an echo
instead of an answer when i speak

you dislike my depression
but what did you expect
why must i always be a beacon
for you to seek me out

you expect for me to rebound as if nothing ever happened
but sometimes rebuilding
is easier when you’re not alone

you wonder why i’m still down
not sure why it’s so hard to see
the connection that once meant everything to me
has become a friendship that’s a one-way street

“The Result of her Despair”
written on 2/26/09

i am startled shortly after midnight
though i already know who is there
i feel the tension, heavy in the phone lines
her tone screams frustration, no optimism at all
now i know the hammer’s coming down

i’ve always felt love conquers all
but now i know that’s untrue
love is such a gentle force
that despair can stomp it out

we had every dream come true
we never read a map ’cause we never could get lost
destination beautiful as long as we traveled side by side
we couldn’t have planned a sweeter route

but when you live with your guard down
sometimes the darkest demons strike
distance and stress stabbed her heart
she’s trying so hard but her heart is bleeding out

i’m scrambling to her rescue
but my words aren’t strong enough sutures
i squeeze her hand but she’s so cold
her love is failing fast
i wish my love could save her
but our blood type’s not the same

now my worst fears have taken her
leaving me all alone with shattered dreams of what could have been
and crumbling things of what used to be
just like my appeal

she’ll move on
to a brand new heart
to a better life
and i’ll move on
with an aching heart
to an uncertain life
but to a heart i know will heal

“Untitled”
written on 11/12/06

a heart safer than i’ve ever known
the jigsaw piece that filled all my voids, she rounded me out so well
but in anger i chose to run rather than confront our issues
fear of facing your tears kept me from addressing you
i talked myself into believing i was better off alone
but deep down my heart knew everything was wrong

crushed and scared you grew so strong without me
but now i’m looking at you from across the field
and realize our feelings haven’t changed
i pray true love can cure all things
and bring you back to me

i touch your hand and caress your feet
i watch you dress in front of me
wrapped in clothes that mistake you for royalty
but it’s the looks of an angel i focus on
you’re ready to leave but this event isn’t for me
i’m left behind with an empty heart
hoping you return quickly to me

with eyes so soft they hold my soul
time goes slow when you’re not around

i miss the girl i once called my own
with one more chance i won’t forget
the one who’s meant for me

“The Sand”

i’m just one step short of greatness
but that stride never seemed so far
when things are in your way

i’ve had so many girls try to change me
and so many that just didn’t work for me
i feel like an archeologist in the desert
because i’ve found pieces that i placed together
built a skeleton of love
turns out i only found it’s not whole

i’ve sifted through so much sand
only to find fragments of a thing called love
but i won’t give up ’cause as sure as the sun will rise
i’ll find all the pieces that add up to the way love should be

i’ve been up, i’ve been down
but there’s no giving up
i’ll go through every grain of sand if that’s what it takes
i’m going to find every piece that builds you

“Trap”
completed on 7/4/07

i see your face in every cloud
hear your voice in my favorite songs
i’ m not sure how things unraveled like this
from something that originally felt so right
i always told you don’t question what works so well
you and i were two of a kind
but somewhere in our perfect chemistry
some elements became quite unstable
because in a flash i’m standing in the middle of an explosion

in the storm of my emotions i see
images of things before the natural disaster
flashes of disappointment light up my night
sheets of confusion rain down from the sky
and when the dust settles all that’s left
are doubts of what used to be

perhaps you hid your motives and camouflaged your insecurities
so i stepped into your trap
hanging upside down from the vines of your control
with nothing but lost time slipping out of my pockets and blood rushing to my head
i wish i could say i felt more than that
maybe i should have questioned what i thought worked so well

“Domino Effect”
written on 10/5/09

she crushed my heart with these simple words:
‘it’s over, i don’t feel the same anymore’
at that moment a piece of my heart was lost forever
in that earth-shattering instant i felt my heart stop
the traffic on the street froze
the clock didn’t tick
and every person in sight lost all their motion

i thought i moved on
but three girlfriends later the feelings have never been the same at the first
what if  i will never be able to love the same way?
what if this becomes a cycle after your first love:
that we become jigsaw puzzles containing missing pieces
unable to give the next person all of your heart
how do you prevent the broken-hearted from stopping to love unconditionally?

i want to share the cure to avert this domino effect
but i don’t have a clue how to make the antidote
will it take your soul mate to complete your puzzle?
how do you get over your first love?
i’m dying to know but i don’t have the answer
the only thing i’m sure of is that i want these missing pieces back

“Broken Threads”
written on 10/3/06

i have a curse
every time with every fight
my flame for you slowly smolders away
like eroding sand my heart crumbles away
after every fight i never feel quite the same way

this has happened before
one more restriction and one more new rule
making me feel like i’m losing how i’m supposed to be
so now there’s one less shadow walking next to me
and no one to keep me company

the fights we had were like dynamite
one huge explosion but nothing to build on
without compromise there was nothing to mend
the broken threads from my heart
so now my love for you has all spilled out

“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

“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
