I want to cry, my heart is broken
Remembrances of true love’s token
He held me tight, kissed my lips
Amidst the seas salty mists

He held me close, so tight so near
Told me he loved me, I was dear
Gazing in one another’s eyes
Wondering beneath the cloudy skies

Caressing stroke upon my skin
Passionate fire pulses within
Embraced in a magical kiss
Each partaking of their deepest wish

The spell has broke it is gone
Reminding myself to try and move on
Yet when someone seemed sent from above
How can we forget our truest love

I feel so sad so despairing
Tis ever present in my life
Sometimes lack of caring
Often suffer strife

Lonely, unhappy, and blue
My world is so dark
Never sure what to do
Ready to fall apart

I want to feel right
To wakeup and to sing
To leave my starless night
To end the terrible dreams

However I have not the key
Am not sure where to go
What is wrong with me
Am I doomed to be alone

Send me a ray of hope
Someone to lead the way
Mend the heart that’s broke
I plead, I cry, I pray

The fine wet spray, the mist
Waves and sand meet, they kiss
Foaming tops on brilliant green
Below lies a world rarely seen

Strong and furious it sometimes looms
Always calm beneath the gloom
Serene and peaceful she can be
Seashells sing her melody

In and out always breathing
Rising and falling always heaving
Such a magical mystery
That which we call the sea

Love built on trust
Relationship seems so firm
Everything seems right and just
How quickly it can all upturn

Eyes filled brimming with tears
Heart broken shattered
Surrounded and held by fears
Spirit so frail is battered

Sometimes no one can change
Destiny will come to pass
People won’t always stay the same
Love won’t always last

I cry within
A call a prayer
Hoping someone will hear
Sadness reigns
Darkness surrounds
Sitting huddled
The misery
Consumes me
Exhaustion
Wandering
Going in circles
I have lost the light
Veered from the path
Fear holds me
Grips me tight
I cannot move
Am frozen
Conquered
Screaming
No one hears
Drowning
No one sees
Despairing
No one cares
Rescue me
I beg

Trembling shaking world upturned
The more I listen the more I learn

Setting strong a goal in mind
Get through today you’ll do just fine

Give me back a center calm and still
Help me push to have the will

Should I fall and hit the ground
Back up I’ll stand courage found

When hope seems lost on knees I’ll bend
Trust in God give it all to him

I will survive will win the fight
No one shall cover up my light

Late at night when all is sound
World sleeping dreams abound
I sense the urge to close my eyes
Fight surrender to dreaming sighs

Deep within the starless night
I creep away to take my flight
Dancing on the clouds above
Swirling mists caress with love

On my wings I sail true
Gliding past beauty I never knew
I have lost the dream has won
My night time journey has begun

My eyes they weep with tears
Reflecting images of horror and fear
Sadness dwells within the depths
Defeated, despairing I accept

My heart it churns tormented so
The cuts, the tears, how deep they go
Pain immense within me roars
Emotions refuse to be ignored

My soul it dims each passing day
Piece by piece is torn away
Somewhere within I yet wait
I hope for me it's not too late

Eyes that spark like flaming coal
A heart's fire you cannot stow
Between the two you find the soul
Three parts together make one whole

A child small and frail here
Something precious someone dear
A love once had was found and lost
Stranger's paths that once did cross

Memories sad but treasured so
Illusions we cannot let go
Pieces of a puzzle sigh
Long lost dreams are left to die

Bittersweet thoughts of times now gone
Belief and will we must move on
Special treasures we gave and earned
Difficult lessons we all must learn

Life's very breath within us lives
Time passing by as sand through a sieve
Making the most of what we've got
Miracles cannot be bought

The one I love does not love me
This I know to be true
But the heart is fickle
And cares not for sense

Why must I pine
For that which was not meant to be
The beat of my heart
Resonates with loneliness

At night as I lay
In the salty wetness of my pillow
Soaked with tears shed from my eyes
Sleep does not come until I am empty

One must wonder why the heart should lead
In the complicated dance of life
But what is the use in trying to comprehend
A plan not meant to be understood

I am a weary traveler
Covered with dust from my sin
Perspiring, pining for a drink
Yearning for shade to lie in

I am a weary traveler
Forsaken, and alone
Trudging up and down the way
Stumbling amidst the stones

I am a weary traveler
On and on I roam
Searching, seeking, waiting
For my path to lead me home

Thoughts so jumbled
Heart aching, weeping
Spirit so meek and afraid

Anger within boils, evaporates
Rains down as sadness
Fighting is futile

Memories lost now return
Released from their box
Came back to haunt, to torment

Trapped in the tomb within
Lost, alone, afraid
I wait for my redemption

Weeping...willows...whispering
Raindrops...gently falling...on my window
Tremors…shaking...the water’s face
So many sounds in the silence of night

Trees…rustle...in the evening breeze
Crickets...playing...their bows
Trickling...creek...caresses the stones
So many sounds in the silence of night

Reeds...whistle...dancing in the wind
Birds...singing...sweetly in their dreams
Stallion...races...towards the moon
So many sounds in the silence of night

The little me inside of me
Wants to come and play
The me, that’s really me
Is anxious about today

The little me inside of me
Wants to throw a fit
The me that’s really me
Wants to hear music for a bit

The little me inside of me
Is crying great big tears
The me that’s really me
Is overwhelmed by fears

The little me inside of me
Is yearning for love and care
The me that’s really me
Hides away inside my lair

The little me inside of me
Sees wonders through young eyes
The me that’s really me
Is really very shy

The little me inside of me
Just wants to have some fun
The me that’s really me
Wants to turn tail and run

The little me inside of me
Is scared and meek
The me that’s really me
Feels really very weak

The little me inside of me
Is lost and alone
The me that’s really me
Wants to lead her home
