the poison seeped further (into the heart and the mind) you saw more than ever before as the poison seeped further into the heart and the mind as I lost consciousness of the real world my world became real very real to me i felt alive like i've never been brain dead gaining more in confidence than losing my mind once again you saw more i felt more but the poison stopped me from being me the real me as you know me far too well you saw more than you never should as what i am inside should stay just there and i am alive even if the poison tells me otherwise

Think, drink and the unknown Have a think then a drink and think some more another drink and you hit the unknown the unknown untold world where memories are somewhere but never really there drink to remember think more to work out why drink one more and then there’s nothing more have a think drink one more when one more is never enough and enough has been drunk

Words You are the words within my heart as my heart does not speak other than words of the love I have held within forever breathing to keep me alive You are the words that keep me breathing and whenever I am short of breath I think of you and your words which fill my body with hope and the air I need

Tie me down to the shore Tie me down to the shore So I don't float away When the tide is high let the water rise high letting my body feel the cold flow of water as I gasp for air the tide recedes my feet touch the shore once more still tethered I know I cannot float away when the tide is high remaining strong from now on and I will be wiser when the tide comes in again I will not float away when the tide gets to me as I need to be next to you forever with you

Watching the world We use to sit down watch the world go by as it went round and round Then one day I wrote you a song but I got it all wrong as the tune you played didn’t match my words Watching the world as we did I sit wanting to know if the world is right or am I just out of sight I just want you to call even though numbers change to once again light up my phone like you lit up my life

Oh I wish Oh I wish I wish I could take all of the pain away I still love your eyes and the way that you smile My heart has never beat so fast since I left you that day Oh I wish I just wish you knew how much I think of you and how I want to take the pain away Oh I wish I just wish

The clock goes on By 10pm I already know that you are in my heart 1am and I still stand by you saying little but always listening 2am and time to go my words impeded but mean all the same The clock goes on but my heart never stops quiet I may be by morning yet there is never silence when the day goes by and my mind is awake to think about you By 10am I wish it was 10pm again Waiting for 2am When my impeded words find their way from my heart into the open night air but as the clock goes on nights become days and days become weeks

Lost -
Lost
in a memory from long ago when no one else remembers -
Lost
because the path split into two and I walked elsewhere -
Lost
because I found you all too late when fate ran out leaving you and I to stare across the room -
Lost
because no one else remembers what I do and why so with every memory is another moment for someone to forget when all I do is to remember every detail every single detail

See my eyes You see my eyes but you don’t see what is behind the eyes You don’t see what they feel for you My eyes tell you everything that I know and all you need to know Yet you don’t see it and in turn never feel what I do You see my eyes and there is a world behind them a world of great belief that one day I will show you

You lay perpendicular to me As the night goes on you lay perpendicular to me with you head upon my lap You look up to me as you speak your mind and I look down to listen and admire you Sweeping your hair to one side I have never felt so comfortable this is you and I how I always imagine it would be The night goes on but time for me has stood still as this moment is a moment that I don’t want to end All of the words within my heart make their way out to you as I look down and admire you and every word you understand I always imagined it would be like this and so it is that my heart is in love with you

Sort those thoughts To sort my thoughts only taught me to sought what I feel and fought long and hard to show you my thoughts

the dark side of light the dark side of light where i thought i might find all of my fight we often look for the light in life where we are all drawn to from the dark to the light some journeys in life are darker than others yet at some point we all have to get through no matter what we have to do the dark side of light is just the periphery and once we are through we are into the light and shine we will the dark side might give us a fright but never will we turn away from the light as it is what makes us who we are we are the light on the other side of darkness

Different i have always been different peculiar to the eye and the mind my views ignored like my words but when i say my heart has something for you take it now while it beats as when it stops it will be no use at all i have always felt different knowing what i say will never be loud enough or soon enough despite my words coming directly from my heart being different leads to places where i don’t always belong and i long to be on the same level as you

i tried i tried to leave (the public house) but i failed to do so all in hope you and i would hide away for the night together returning the next day with a better understanding of mind, body and soul i tried to leave but your smile kept me close yet not close enough as your heart is strong i tried to leave but my heart kept me back wanting to beat close to yours as it may be the closet it will ever get i tried to leave but i just couldn't without telling you trying to sell you my heart's story of why it's you that stopped me from leaving

tell me straight tell me straight when i ask if you like me as when i ask my heart has been numbed ready for the answer that i dread and the only answer that there can be should be but somehow i hope you like me back when you tell me straight

deep no heart is deep enough that i cannot reach to show you what you mean instead of staying safe upon the surface from the depth of your eyes i know you feel for so many things but your heart is just as deep yet not deep enough for me to not find how you feel everyone can see the surface a place to hide what’s beneath and what runs through your veins of love, likeness and hate runs deep into the body and only words and actions can show what you feel as no one can know unless what’s deep inside is let out into the world

the river as i washed my clothes in the flowing river my thoughts of the previous evening washed away down the river and far away as i knelt down the river was cool and calm just what was needed as my thoughts were fatigued the river swept gently by and i wandered from the river bank to the water time and time again rattling my mind if i could have been more confident that night i could have been with you instead of here as my thoughts washed down the river my head became clear and focused the silence of the river bank helped me to think then as the rain came down my thoughts came back every feeling i had ever felt ran through my body the thoughts i thought that had washed away were still within me as they have always been from the river bank i could have drifted away but i took my time and the river replenished what i thought i had lost here at the river bank i knew my time here was done and my thoughts now must get me back home to where and who i belong with

you are my light you are my light but i have to go to the dark side to get to you as you and i live in the light and shadows with life is not always as bright as i would like so we battle through the dark until we reach the light where our hearts are happier with a stronger understanding you are my light through every darkness and every moment i have i live towards the light that holds all of my hope

Tell me a fable Tell me a fable Where I'm able To put all my feelings upon the table A fable that lasts a lifetime Is a fable worth writing As every feeling is a word From the heart to you A fable untold forever plays upon the mind and heart as it should have been but now a fable lost tossed away into the past A fable able to change the world maybe not your world this time but someone else's world to finish a fable placing everything on the table so no feelings are left out.

Angel You are my angel guiding me away from the dark into the light that is life You sit upon my shoulder whispering your words to show me which way to go Without you I’d be lost within the dark and never finding a way out No matter what you are my angel even if you don’t even know how much you mean to me and for me as you are the light of my life
