-=Tattoos & Cigarettes=-

Here I sit and so it will be. Alone, Confused, and Tempted.
Temptation seems to be my biggest fear, it's my omni-blow.
Unfamiliar place with unfamiliar faces, this isn't where I want to be.
What does this mean? Hell if I know..."Where to Go?" where ever it is I'll be alone.
So here I dwell..
"We I.D." that's all I see, I want not to see anything else.
Here I am again with an old friend. As many come and go, she is still faithful.
Not to start seeing her again, as "Mama told me not to come" plays on the jukebox.
I ponder "How long to to stay?" Is a half hour enough,...No.
I know her. An old friend of an old friend, one familiar face passes.
Tattoos & Cigarettes. Beer & Skirts. Still here I sit.
Waiting for what?
An image of a baby brings me back, still I write.
A name that means nothing to me, but to someone else, that's else's Mentos...?
I try but my old friend of depression never fails to make her impression.
So still I ramble............


Hello again, I'm back. Still here with no voice. Just Me.
As "You look wonderful tonight" plays...
I think to myself, "Where?" "When?"
I'm leaving soon. I'll be back. I'm enjoying having someone, the only one, who can understand
Me, Myself, and I will always be here to tell.

-=Confused Dream, of a Confused Mind=-

Never Alone, Never Set Free.
Always portraying something of me.
I'm not asking for nothing more.
I hold it deep within myself.
Looking at all the time passed by.
All I want is to hold my own.
So many times I've looked inside,
Confiding in my self-esteem...
I wake up it's only a dream...
Now I'm back in time,
And I want to sleep again.
Where I'm safe from fear and all that comes to mind,
When I think this dream is the life that I've grown to live.
"Please take yourself away."
As my mind wonders into a land where I'm okay.
Free from fear, Free from the life,
Free from everything that's right.
So here I sit, just wondering "How?"
My mind's made up. So tell me "Why?"...or "When?"
This dream will begin.

-=My Rose=-

There is a rose out there that caught my eye.

The most beautiful creation I've seen.

To pick it from it's place would kill it, which brings me to visit evveryday.

I think of this rose all the time. It's so pure you can feel it.

I want to bring this rose from its dead, cold, fenced in land.

I want to nurish it and show what could be.

-=Temptation=-

Oh what a situation, no defense from this temptation.

A delicate rose that's sweet and true.

The things I strive for are hers too.

Skin so delicate, soft and sweet.

I wait in time for the next time we meet.

-=New Love=-

Hello again, here I am with one thing on my mind.

I can't get away from it, I can't stop it this time.

I really don't want to, just walk away?

No, I will keep coming where I'm asked to stay.

I like it here, where I am safe.

In her arms is now my place.

I wonder how I'm feeling this way.

How every smile brings a beautiful new day.

She gleems with glee, so gentle and soft.

So beautiful I can bearly talk.

My heart jumps twice with every glance.

As I treasure every moment with one single chance.

The chance to show her, how it could be.

She could be happy, if she were with me.

So I go on, with my grain of hope.

Hanging on this thread that's left of the rope.

My heart is ahead, still waiting for my time.

I am wanting to find myself, when I can make her mine.

-=Old Friend=-

Trying to say goodbye to an old friend.  Realizing what i have.  And everything Im here for.

Now i will pickup after my friend.   Goodbye...

 

-=Fairwell=-

Saying fairwell to old friends. I have to change.
It's been fun, but now I'm tired & broke.
Can't continue this way.
Temptation against my side with no door to lock these away.

-=Moving On=-

 

I'll walk alone now, hoping to find my way.

Running from memory, living for today.

I can't catch myself when I'm falling this fast.

I need to stop and think to forget the past.

Heading forward and Moving on never felt so good.

 

It's time to take back the things I've said.

Cash in my ticket to pass it along.

New beginning and vast horizon awaits my departure.

So I'm out, I am gone.  Forget about me and move along.

It's time this chapter closes as another awaits.
