“Emergency”
written on 10.24.11

red and white flickering in the moonlight
i need you like it’s an emergency
hear your voice like the sirens approaching me
without you i can feel my heart shutting down
i want to feel you circulate inside me
’cause i know you’re the drug keeping me alive

let your love trickle in from the IV
you’re a perfect match to what i need
breathe you in deep like oxygen
feel your support like a splint holding me in place
i put my faith in you to take me anywhere

feel your touch gently run across my skin
watch your breath make my lungs rise again
sense your heart making my pulse skip a beat
stunned by your kiss shocking me back to life

my signs and symptoms are all indicating
i’m better when i’m with you
without you i’m cold and catatonic
and you’re the only medication i need
’cause you’re the only thing that makes me feel alive

“Slipping Away”
written on 9.16.11

there’s a part deep inside me
that feels completely incomplete
drowning under water
and there’s no one to grab my hand
no one should ever feel alone

a smile is what they expect from me
so i’ll fake it so they don’t see my insecurity
love is supposed to make you feel whole
but chasing it has me falling down an endless hole

i can’t swim my way out
so i drink to stay afloat
but now i’m in a sea of emptiness
too confused to know my way out

it’s amazing how day after day
people come and fade away
so few choose to stay
and give their heart away

i’m seeing life in a darker way
and i can’t swim away
i just want to know you care
but no one has time to spare
so i pray for a brighter day

turn the music up
put another shot down
i’ll give this one away
to focus on a brand new day
and dream that happiness will come my way

love never fades
but it slips away
love never fades
but it s l i p s  a w a y. . .

“The Best is Yet to Come”
completed on 7.20.11

i can’t get enough of your smile
and i can’t get enough of your laugh
i love when i look in your eyes
i see all that we could be

i picture our first date
the one where i stay up all night hoping
we’ll end up holding hands
and i dream of our first kiss
the same one i’ll feel when we’re dressed in all white
dancing throughout the night
i look forward to all the memories we’ll share together
to the life and laughter we’ll create with one another
that’s all i’ll ever need

my body is here
but i’m already mentally there
to the place where
i’m on your couch
sitting next to the one that i love
i don’t have you yet
that’s why the best is yet to come

i watch the joy in your eyes
as you see everything for the first time
i watch you take your first step
with my hands right by your side
i’ll tuck you in at night
kiss you and be your nightlight
you’ll grow up so fast
but you won’t ever have to ask
’cause i’ll always be there for you

my body is here
but i’m already mentally there
to the place where
i’m on our couch
sitting between the ones that  i love
i don’t have that yet
that’s why i know the best is yet to come

“Cristiana Guesthaus (City Lights)”
written on 10/6/09

300 miles from the city lights
my heart is beating where it wants to be
away from the suffocation of suburban life and materialistic greed

and that’s exactly what i adore about you
those soft brown eyes and subtle threads are telling me this is the only place for me

slow life down
inhale the mountain air
paint this memory within me
so when i dream i will always be able to find you

you smile shyly at first
it’s hard to open up when the clock is ticking down ’til i move on
i wish it was time to plant my roots
so i could bloom for you

the chill of winter is blowing in
but spring is almost here
then the city lights shining on me will be gone for good
and then you will always have me

“Save You”
completed on 9/17/09

he stole something from you that wasn’t his
the things he took built the walls enclosing your heart
and now you believe the scar tissue
won’t fade as easily as the bruises
he left on your once radiant skin

her soul has felt neglected for years
ignored by the ones supposed to be there
mascara streaks down her cheeks
the tears and pain she’s tried to cover underneath
but her intentions won’t hide beneath
a heart that’s always cried

this world can be so cold
and that’s when i realized
all i ever wanted was to save you
i was born to show you the silver lining you never knew
the never-ending smile that could be true

“Cycles (You Can Change Them)”
written on 6/21/09

there are people with phd’s
that would tell me i’m crazy
they have theories to calculate everything
but they’ll never quantify your effect on my heart

earth has its cycles and seasons
but there is nothing about you that’s routine
all their laws and rules can’t explain
the intricate ways that you move me

day after day used to be the same thing
trapped inside a tidal wave always pulling me into the lonely sea
until your energy washed over me

i never had much faith in science
’cause it never focused enough on the heart
they can’t diagram or map out
how you make my life exponentially better

the seismograph is moving
to every beat of your heart
it’s an earthquake of compassion
that shakes me to my core

“Raindrops in Ireland”
written on 5/20/09

she smiles at the rainbow
as she dances in the rain
’cause it’s always a sun shower
since she shines brighter than the stars

even if it’s pouring
there’s only sunshine over me
i have never felt a soothing breeze
quite like your personality

she’s surrounded by four leaf clovers
across the ocean waters
but regardless of the distance
i still feel her presence warming me

i smile when there’s lightning
as i feel your energy
and whenever i hear thunder
i know you’re saying hi to me

you’re lying in the green grass
watching blue skies as i sleep
for now i have my dreams
but soon we’ll be together
watching the same sunset

“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

“K”
completed on 7/30/07

behind her glossy cover that sparkles so nicely in the light
are pages people have stepped on that have bruised her to her core
and her binding is coming undone but she won’t let it break
because that’s not how she was written
and that’s certainly not her fate

it’s like staring at the black and white pages of a coloring book
because all of life’s hardships have stolen all her color
and the tears shed from her eyes have caused the ink to run together
making the happy and sad stories bleed together

and she’s such a pretty cover
with a title glittering in gold
but once you read her prologue
she’s been through more than you would think
because even with her beauty she’s just like you and me

and if i could just hold her
i swear i could shelter her from the pain
let my fingertips brush across her cheeks
to brush away her tears
and listen to her speak ’cause she needs to know i care

so i want to write her resolution
so she can smile again
but i lack the words to complete her latest chapter
i never was an expert, just a boy with a soft heart
so i’m grasping for the answers hoping that something that i write
will feel to her like nonfiction
because she really is a novel worth reading word for word

“Words”
completed on 6/26/07

and i know they’re just words on a screen
but your sentences just seem to pierce right through me
from safety i tell you how i feel
not sure i could do it any other way
because i haven’t been this open for so long
but you have this way of feeling like home

i wish i could fill you in
but i’m scared i might overwhelm you
dreaming of all the impossibilities
it’s a race where imagination is already too far ahead of reality
i wish i could reach through this screen
and whisper in your ear
tell you everything that i really feel

i feel like a patient under an x-ray machine
because everything i tell you makes it easier to see inside me
but i’m scared if you look for too long
you’ll see all the cracks in my soul

but they are more than just words on a screen
because the string of letters act like adrenaline to me
your thoughts oxygenate me
and control the beat of my heart
which stops when i read that you smiled

so maybe i can’t get you out of my head
but who wants to forget a work of art?
maybe i’ll admit that i noticed your beauty
but right now it’s your words that really count
