“Reach You”
completed on 4.9.13

midnight blue
bleeding down the walls to my room
it’s an empty life
in a booth that’s meant for two

i trip and stumble
and question why i am here
being a romantic and not having you
exhausting search to hold what’s true

running on empty
nothing but fumes when i breathe out
fill me with hope and inspiration
so i don’t tire ’til i reach you

if i could turn back time
and correct our paths
’cause your heart beats just like mine
i’m just waiting for your sign

my heart is a trainwreck
derailed without you by my side
sadly knowing you are out there
keeps me feeling so alone

i put on a smile
dreams of us walking down the aisle
but being alone stings
like a heart slowly dying

“Invisible Heart”
written on 3/13/13

i open the valves to my heart
to let my love openly flow out
to shower you with a love
more intense than you’ve ever felt of

my heart drawn to you
unrequieted; a vein cut through
all my dreams of us in doubt
pain and frustration seeping out

my hope fading in despair
oblivious to how much i care
washed out by the drums of you
marching to your own heartbeat

i try so hard
to get you to lower your guard
all i want is to show you love
not be something you dispose of

you don’t see how much i care
on my knees without a prayer
you’re unphased when our eyes meet
it’s why i can’t get back on my feet

i’d do anything for you
for you to realize this love is true
but this is all going to fall through
’cause i’m not the one you care to pursue

“Shadows from Charlotte”
completed on 2.1.13

i sit here at this empty table for two
wishing i would have been here next to you
i wish the timing would improve
but we’re always on the move

you’re sitting in the same seat
i sat in two months ago
if fate would change the clock our way
i could be enjoying life with you today

i see your footprints in the sand
hear your laughter in the air
read the messages you’ve written
but it’s only your shadow i meet

maybe my dreams are puzzle pieces
tiny clues leading me to you
’cause when i wake up in the morning
i always feel so much closer to you

knowing that you’re out there
stings that i haven’t met you yet
in my dreams i see your silhouette
i hope it’s not the closest i will get

the soft breeze on your skin
the urge you have to grin
it’s my soul reaching out to you
that i’m always searching, it’s true
i’ll never be complete without you

“When’ll You Learn?”
completed on 12.8.12

i can feel my back pressed against a thin mat
with a clock that won’t seem to move
nothing but the restless lights and a cold floor
to remind me of what i’ve done

i replay all the different outcomes
can’t get my mind to stop
what if this dreaded nightmare
is a mistake i never can escape?

i should have seen this coming
knew i was speeding down a dead end path
should have felt myself spin and tumble
but i swore i never would get caught

i wish you would learn from my mistakes
instead of repeating what i’ve done
wish i could paint a better picture
of how alone i felt that night

if you could feel my heart sink
taste the saline from my fears
that everything i’ve built
could unravel right in front of me

i wish i could make you realize
somehow tell you what you need
to make you choose a different course
before your life becomes a wreck

i wish you believed this could affect you
that you’re on a collision course
now i pray you live and learn
before your hands are tied behind your back

“You vs. Me”
completed on 9.18.12

you say that you’re a hopeless romantic
that you and i are one in the same
but you don’t see love the way i see it
’cause you refuse to acknowledge the fallout

love is not for sport
love is not a game
pain is not something easily washed away
where a heart can forever fade away

there are a million stars at night
just like the odds of finding
the perfect person for your life
but you don’t care about searching for a wife

i used to be just like you
until i realized she’s the one who got away
now i spend every day hoping
love will come back my way

if i have learned anything from you
it’s that life doesn’t give you anything
you pray and then have to go get it
hoping you find a love that’s true

if i could go back
though you can never go back
you have to live with missed chances
and fight to find future romances

you don’t see the bigger picture
realize how empty life is without love
if there is one thing you can learn from me
it’s that love is this life’s master key

“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

“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
