The Sky Is Crying

November 26, 2005

There's a love story
About a guy and a girl
They spend every waking moment together
Their love is as deep as the ocean
They promised to be together forever
But in a blink of an eye
The girl is gone
And the guy drops to his knees...

And the rain falls down
As he kneels there crying
And he thinks to himself
This is worse then dying
And then he realizes
The sky is crying

There's a family story
About the perfect family
With two parents and a daughter
That all loved each other
More then anything else
But in a split second
The parents are gone
The daughter is at the funeral...

And the rain falls down
As she stands there crying
And she thinks to herself
This is worse then dying
And then she realizes
The sky is crying

There's another story
About a girl in trouble
The world has turned its back on her
And she can't take it anymore
She is holding some pills
But when the time comes
She can't do it
And she just starts to run...

And the rain falls down
As she's out there crying
And she thinks to herself
This is worse then dying
And then she realizes
The sky is crying

Perfect Day

November 25, 2005

The sun is shining
The sky is blue
The sound of the waves
Crashing on the shore
Fills my ears
I take a deep breath
And close my eyes
For it's a perfect day
I smell the familiar ocean scent
And feel the familiar sand
Under my feet
I could walk forever
Along the shore of the ocean
I could walk forever
On this perfect day
I could stay here forever
Feeling the warmth of the sun
And the ocean breeze
On my face
It's like a little piece of heaven
On this Earth
Where everyone is happy
And everyone is thinking
What a perfect day

My Obsession

November 13, 2005

A burst of happiness
Flows through my soul
I am where I am supposed to be
I observe my surrounding
And the world is at peace
My heart is content
I laugh and smile
I feel so relieved
The the weekend's end draws near
And the thought of going back
To my regular life appears
And my laughter fades
My smile falters
The end comes
And everything slips away
My heart breaks again
I long to be
Anywhere but here
I need to be
Back where I belong
Back with my friends
Who are closer then my family
For they are
My obsession

I Thought...

October 24, 2005

I thought I could be a different person
I thought I could start over
But here I am
Same person I've always been
Just with different surroundings
And different people
I tried to be different
I thought change was necessary
But then I figured out
I am the only connection
Between my past and my future
To change myself
Would be to ignore the past
To ignore the past
Would make my future make no sense
I need to be connected
To my old life
To severe the ties
Would be disastrous
I thought that was what I needed to do
But I thought wrong

Boxes

July 21, 2005

Imagine
Your life
Packed into boxes
Taken from their rightful places
And thrust into darkness
Boxes upon boxes
Stacked in the corner
Forgotten
Until the day
They are taken
And brought
To a strange place
Where everything will change
You unpack the boxes
Unravel your life
But nothing is the same
And it never will be again

Tomorrow and Yesterday

July 19, 2005

The past flies before my eyes
And I can hardly believe it was real
What happened to the time when
We believed nothing could go wrong
What happened to the time when
Our biggest struggle
Was what to do at recess
Where has time gone?
And why can't we slow it down
The happiness if gone
The smiles have faded
And we have been faced
With the real world
Of violence and tragedy
Poverty and despair
Pain and depression
Hope is now a mere shimmer
Faith a small glance
For we have been blinded
But what this world is all about
Why can't we go back
To those times of innocence
And purity
But it's too late now
And there's no way to get back

Neverending

July 18, 2005

My heart is filled with sadness
But no tears come to my eyes
It seems I have run out
Or maybe they are being saved
For the day
The day the world stops spinning
And lives are destroyed
Then my tears will our out
In attempt to save my soul
Steadily slip down my face
And into my cupped hands
Like acid rain
I will not be able to save myself
Nor anyone around me
This world has torn me apart
So much so
That I can never be repaired
The whip may be gone
But it still stings
And the scars are still there
Forever etched in my skin
Reminding me of my past
That past I try so hard to forget
But it is still there
And it will never leave me
