You are

Tell me it’s not forever
Tell me we’re still together

Packin up your bags
Are you leaving so soon?
I know we’re off the track
But it’s me and it’s you

And you say you don’t care
And I say I don’t mind
Are we
Blind?
Your suitcase in the hall
Your pillow on my bed
Are we
Dead?
Or breathing at all?

Don’t say it’s over
Don’t say we’re done
You are the one
You are the one
Don’t say you’re sorry
Don’t say we’re through
I thought we had it
Me and you

Callin for a cab
Are you leaving so soon?
Thought it was a fight
Did it break us in two?

And you say we’re finished
And I say whatever
Is this
The end?
tears across your face
I’m feeling my heart break
Is this
The end
Are we breathing at all

Don’t say it’s over
Don’t say we’re done
You are the one
You are the one
Don’t say you’re sorry
Don’t say we’re through
I thought we had it
Me and you

Tell me it’s not forever
Tell me we’re still together

For my daughter

Amanda:

Each and every day
you make me proud
each and every day
With you
Every little smile
You give to me
Every little thing
You do

I revel in your
Accomplishments
I’m satisfied in
Your laughter
I level with you
In childish ways
Friends now,
Forever, after

Each and every hour
Spent with you
Each and every minute
Growing
Every time you get
Upset at me
For being bossy and
All-knowing

I treasure all
Your arty crafts
I hoard the gifts
You made
I cherish all
Your silly notes
I keep them in
My portemonnaie

Each and every second
Of being your Mom
Every single moment
With you
All the wondrous things
You’ve shown to me
All those planets we’ve
Been to

I wish I had
A thousand lives
To live with you
Again
I wish I had
A million tries
To give you this again

And so I try to
Capture “now” and “here”
The essence of what
Is you
Though yesterday is
Come and gone
Tomorrow brings
A new

amor

Love...
Love?
Love!
Love.

Stay

A little longer
Keep your pace
A few more hours
Stay
A little while
To mend my heart
A little while
I pray

You’ve always been
My guiding light
Forever you
My star
Foster mother
Confidant
My shining knight
You are

I’ll travel time
I’ll travel space
I’ll race across
The sea
You hold my heart
Within your hand
So Mother, wait
For me

You cannot leave
Without farewell
I cannot let
You go
Without the chance
To feel you breathe
And hold you close
Once more

Just this I ask
Of God, of you
To linger still
I pray
If I had just
One wish in life
I’d wish for you
To stay

Unaware

(Disclaimer: this is not inspired by anyone I know, it's just writer's license)


He looks
Hou don’t see
He stares
You don’t feel
He asks
You don’t care
You’re so
Unaware

I thought you would notice
His trembling hands
I thought you would know this
He’s only a man
Caught in a trap
That you absently set
Caught up in words
That you absently said

But you don’t see

Cuz you’re
Searching for your
Prince Charming
Searching for your
One-time love

While you’re
Searching for love
You’re harming
The one who wants to be
You’re one-time love

He gives
You don’t grant
Your whim’s
His demand
His hopes
You destroy
Unknowing
Your toy

I bet you would notice
If only you looked
His eyes so betraying
He’s totally hooked
Trapped by the beauty
You don’t seem to see
Trapped by the person
You’re hoping to be

But you don’t see

Cuz you're
Waiting for knights
In armour
Waiting for an orchestra

While you're
Waiting for life
You're missing
The thing that could have been
The real deal

I Confess

I confess


It’s turned around
And now it’s me
Who’s staying out
Till half past three
My make-up’s smudged
My feet are bare
You stayed up waiting
I don’t care

That cigarette taste
Spit down the drain
My throat is sore
From all the strain
I leave my phone
Where you might look
You’ll see new names
In the address book

I’m failing, crashing
Quit cutting me such slack
I’m railing, smashing
Trying to get you back
For all the times you put me through the pain
Of wondering if you’re coming home again

I confess:
I made this mess

Why not ask
Who brought me home
Why not ask if
I danced alone
My tab was paid
Though not by me
And no one gives
A drink for free

I leave a trail
Of whiskey air
A musky scent
Still in my hair
A broken heart
A broken soul
Can all these shards
Be still made whole?

I’m dying, trying
To justify my pain
I’m crying, denying
My love for you again
No matter how I try to suffocate
This love for you I cannot desecrate

I confess:
I made this mess

Eventually

And you fled
As your pounding heart
Melted

And you bled
As your wounded soul
Felt it

Do you
Reach backwards and try
To unwind the clock?
Do you
Wish you could find
The key to time‘s lock

Somewhere out there?

And you crashed
As your novel life
screamed

And he trashed
And recollected your
dreams

If you
Had been told in advance
Would you try it again
If you
had foreseen romance
and knew how it ends

Would it happen again?

Somehow out there?

And you tried
As you picked up the
Shards
And you cried
As you felt life fall
Apart

If I
Could tell you right now
That it isn’t the end
If I
Could hold you right now
And help your heart mend

Would you heal faster?

Somehow in time?

And I fret
As I hear your sad
Tale

And I hope
That you hoist up your
Sail

If life
Could treat you real fine
Could spoil your sweet soul
If life
Were all ice-cream and wine
Would you lose hold of your goal

Would you be better off?

I know you hate to hear it
I know you’ll say „dont tell“

…It gets better eventually!

Unspoken

I wrote this ages ago, like 3 years or something. It's actually a song but I only played it once. I had gone to see a friend, who was having like 8 friends over, none of whom I knew. So I sat in my little corner and played guitar since no one was paying attention to my anyhow. It was a nice spanish guitar so I all start playing my song and after a while I realized that everything was quiet and everyone was looking at me. So, I finish singing it and there was a second's silence and I thought "crap, they're gonna start laughing!" But they started clapping, he he.

Anyhow, enjoy!



"Unspoken"

You think that you know me
But how can you tell?
Whenever you hold me
I'm caught by your spell
The words that I'm thinking
The thoughts in my head
You never will know them
Unspoken and dead

What if I called you up and said
"I need you more"?
Would you back out of my life
Or close up the door?

Cuz I've been there
I've been hurt
I've been scared
Had my turn
Don't wanna fall
Don't wanna play
Don't wanna call
What should I say?

You think that you own me
But don't realise
The questions that linger
Hold on to your eyes
It's not what you're doing
It's what you don't say
The things that you're keeping
They stand in my way

What if I called you up and asked
"Please stay by me"?
Would you return my call
Or would you just leave?

I've been there
I've been hurt
I've been scared
Had my turn
Don't wanna fall
Don't wanna play
Don't wanna call
What should I say?
