There are worse things I have done
but nothing compared to this
for here I am wishing I was somewhere else
when life's been very fair to me
Sometimes I pray Lord take me back
10 years or more
I would make a better decision
I would probably be a better person
But life has a humour
which I have failed to understand
for I am here aching
trying as hard as I can
If you read this and you know
how horrible I am
I'm sorry that I've hurt you
for it is that I never meant

Things in Common
We have so many things in common
We share the same moon
the same sky
the same ocean that spans the world wide
The share the same air
the atmosphere
and yet you are so far while I am just here

Wonder
I've been wondering
Where do I go
with all that I have
with all that I do
Is there something to look forward to
each day when I awake
or the days just go by
without a notice or a life
Did I do something wrong?
I'll never know till this life is gone
or may it come haunt me
before my time is up
If you know the answers
someone please drop me a line
for I am being tormented
without a reason why

What I can't tell you
It's hard to see you stand just there
looking right through me
your heart just beats right through mine
you know just how i feel
i can't just say what i want
for consequences i can't bear
and yet you stare into my soul
to think that i would dare
for one thought of having you
would tear all apart
for you stand too far away
though you are right here in my heart
My thought each day they go to you
each moment that i breathe
it scares me so that i do feel
such a way about you
this feelings they have a way
of taking me away from what is real
so if I said I'm sorry
please know just how i feel

One Last Time
Your eyes
they tell me about your adventures
the places and people
that you've seen
The stories that lived
through the opening of your soul
registered and remembered
by tales that you've told
They ponder on every thought
and sparkle at every idea
they smile when I see through you
and make me wonder
your eyes
they lead me to your heart
that once I used to dwell
now they stare into someone else's
and I know that I've lost you
to circumstance and life
i would give anything to look into your eyes
just one last time

know that I'm here
How do we erase
the parts that hurts us most
and remain in the joy
of yesterday's love
How can i hear you
your pain and your aggravations
and ensure it's only fleeting
and tomorrow will surely come
How will you know
that it will be alright again
and it's only time that we have
to wait on
Many things seems to come and go
like the waters on a river
But i assure you my love
I'm here
I love you
every passing day
I'm here and I love you
I've forgotten
I've forgotten what it's like
to play in the snow
and forget all my troubles,
heartaches, and pain
I've let time slip by
before I could try
to dance out in the rain
I've not stopped and listen
to the happy sounds of the birds
and not waited and watched
for the sun to rise
Now the moon takes it course
everyday in my life
but I've never looked up in the sky
And when I thought that I'd be rich
I'd never knew that my soul was poor
and deprived at such a cost
The years that past
I believe I've gained
but never knew how much I've lost

From The Grand Canyon
Where the lightning strikes above the mountains
where the sunset glows upon the travelers
where the river has lived for millions of years
Where the trees are evergreen
where the eagles are to be free
where the roads go on and on for miles
Where the tip of the grass sparkle
for the dew that stands at its peak
in the very morning light
as the orange rays peek through the branches
that shelter earth's feathered friends
Where the sky turns pink as its warmth
lullabies the day to sleep
while the fireflies hold true to their promise
that they'll light the path for you
and lead you back to me
from the Grand Canyon

Butterflies
I can't even understand
The way those butterflies flutter
inside of me
You see, they come when you are near
And I don't know why
My eyes,They move to where you are
Whenever you are close
And I can't make myself
Think of something else
When all I see is you
And these butterflies
They seem to know when to take flight
And when to move
Into the crevices of my mind
So, if it is you that makes me feel so
Then help me catch those butterflies
Because this fleeting floating feeling
Is constant in my mind
