I will Remember
November 3, 2006

Though I let you go, it wasn't what I wanted...
With each passing day, by my memories of you, 
I'm haunted

Though I brought the end, it wasn't without regret...
And with time I find, longings to be with you I
can't forget

After the time we'd spent together, the laughter and sorrows shared
Twas folly to be so intimate, if I knew I hardly cared

So many traits I found endearing, and moments in our romance
I found so much of you to treasure, adore how you like to dance

Though I keep desire, it will not send me begging
Even though I wish, despite how thin my resolve
is getting

Though my heart may break, it will not destroy my will
Silent I will ache, the hollow place in my life
that you fill

Still you are behind all of my smiles, and yet in most of my tears
Now I dream of you in my wasteland, and hope you fade with the years
But I will remember you my love, and your words on joy and pain
And no matter how many nights pass, I'll be happy in the rain  


Pale as Bone
Summer 2006

Blue gaze on life around me, forgetting all vitality
All is black and white as ashes, and you behind my clarity
Strangling in your silence, and withdrawn from this reality
All is dim and cold as winter, and my desert a haunted city

Ever since the day I wrapped my heart around you
Everything is bittersweet, doesn't matter what I do

The clouds might not show in the afternoon
The rains may not come when they are needed
Colds winds may come to wither me soon
The dawn comes and no one greets it

Jaded eyes on my surroundings, admit that all is fleeting
All is bare and pale as bone, and none to return my greeting
Stifling on false solace, and alone in evening meeting
All is wan and thick as winter, and my mindscape my daily beating

Ever since I had to say goodbye to you
Every day is bittersweet, doesn't matter what I do

The clouds might not show in the afternoon
The rains may not come when they are needed
Colds winds may come to wither me soon
The dawn comes and no one greets it

Weary sights targeting reprieve, seeking ways to relieve
All is dark and light as shadows, truth so hard to believe
Struggling with my stillness, and stricken by what I receive
All is thin and deaf as winter, and my fantasy a prison I can't leave

Ever since the night I wrapped my heart around you
Everything is uncertain, sweet agony in all I do
Every day is love and loss as I try to understand you
Faith is a new agony as it governs what I do

The clouds might not show in the afternoon
The rains may not come when they are needed
Colds winds may come to wither me soon
The dawn comes and I must greet it
