Alone

Where am I,
Is this the reason why,
Feeling lost and alone,
as life passes by,
Yet, no one can hear me,
As I look to the sky,
and give out a cry,
For the love that past by,

Why can't you see,
What has happened to me,
This person that I have become,
The feelings inside,
Never trying to hide,
My heart, from my mind,
Breaking time after time,
and the reason to be,

The memories of the past,
kept in an hour glass,
The running of the sands of time,
repeating in my mind,
Giving my heart, right from the start,
My mind lights up that new spark,
as the heart beats fast,

Then after a while,
You lose that sweet smile,
and pain and anger ensue,
breaking my heart,
with a penknife to start,
now I listen to the old ragtime blues,
A drink in my hand, thinking of a lost land,
Isolated from a world I knew,
Beginning again,
Thinking of love a new,
with a broken smile.

Come Away

I was battered,

 and broken,

These words,

that I've spoken,

These lines,

that I've written,

The pain,

that I've suffered,

I had to escape from,

The hurt from another,

And now I'm finally free,

Come away,

 come away with me,

Come away,

 come away,

save yourself,

You have captured my heart,

And the words that we've spoken,

our hearts have been broken,

So many times,

from the pain,

and lies,

I promise you,

We'll live,

our lives,

Leaving the pain behind,

Now that we are finally free,

Come away, 

come away with me,

Come away, 

come away,

be yourself,

Create your dream,

lets turn it in to reality,

and change our lives,

The way they're meant to be.
