Her silent lips scream out
the agonies of her too-late-heart
And her bloodshot eyes will tell you
why it screams
They've seen the nights
under the torment of her conscience
They've shed the frustrated tears
of evening
Her so-silent lips smile through the day
With the one she's loved so long
But her arms will cling to afternoons
with the one who loves her more
I'm not alone
I can still hear your voice
telling me everything's alright
I can still hear your laugh
joyous without restraint
But only when my music is loud
I can still feel your hands
fingers intertwined with mine
I can still feel your arms
holding me close to your heart
But only when I'm curled in my blankets
I can still see your eyes
bright blue and timeless
I can still see your smile
grinning impossibly again
But only in my pictures
I can still taste your lips
tender and sweet against mine
I can still taste your skin
perfectly warm and smooth
But only in my dreams
But I can't smell your smell
I took my Ghoul for a walk
Our route letting us stop to talk
Meeting with Shaggy, Velma, and Matt Smith
Seeing friends more fun than we had wished
But time grew its wings out fully
So I guided my love home truly
As the full moon reached its peak
We climbed into bed to rest our feet
The snores of the kitten under my hand
Tugged me gently into my perfect land
A land of swoooping draogns, cooing doves
Of never-ending time with the man I love
You gave to my heart
Glittering dragons wings
And you offered my voice
Many gleeful songs to sing
You lifted up my dreams
And gave them bright new hues
You took away my fear
And gave me something to lose
You brought excitement to my life
With a smile never unkind
You gave me quiet comfort
And brought me peace of mind
How can I thank you
For all you've shown me?
And how can I repay you
For all the things you've given me?
The truth is, I'm forever in debt
For all the compassion to your name
I guess I need to stay with you a while
And keep trying to do the same
Let the tears come
Let them fall
Have them tell the stories
Of teenage ignorance
And the consequences to come
Let them speak
To the volumes of a hearts conflicting dreams
And the minds mistakes in weakness
These salty drops of emotion
Can testify to a childs confession
Of short sighted wistfulness
And letting emotion override reason
They'll convict her of being a child
And sentence her to life as an adult
Just words on the paper
For expressions sake
Easily typed now, but later
I'll want to burn them at the stake
Inspiration comes and goes
Whenever it may please
But it likes me best when I am low
Left alone and on my knees
Oh what I wouldn't give
To write nothing but words of joy
But what life is there to live
If it is no more than a toy?
Every line has its meaning
Every word its place
But their absence leaves me steaming
Even with a smile on my face
The greatest glee
Brings the greatest frustration
As the shining words avoid me
Refusing the capture of my exaltation
So my great minutes of wonder
The flowing moments of conte
Horror and aprehension
For the words so calmly spoken
Some comprehension for the coward
A tribute to the untested
Shamed and guilty
From the stories barely mentioned
Some tears for the "protector"
Just another scar to the strong
You've heard my stories before
But pay them no heed
I never knew how wrong I was
If you want to hear me
Hear me now
Never be shy
To pass a kind word
And don't hesitate
To bite down a painful remark
Words have power
As we all know
But we never understand
The impact of communication
But a few powerful words
Could save or take a life
Could change a view of life
Can turn an emotion around
If I cou
Happiness is a beautiful thing
It finds you when you least expect it
If not when you most need it
Happiness is a beautiful thing
It changes how you see the world
And the people and things in it
Happiness is a beautiful thing
No matter the casue
Be it ignorance, freedom, or love
Happiness is a beautiful thing
Something everyone deserves
Something I've found again
Just an emotion
Kept deep in secret
Locked away from prying eyes
Harbored like a fugitive
Punished like a criminal
And yet it thrives
Held behind iron bars
Of pain and self control
All this time, it has survived
The love of one, never truly shown
An emotion, despised and deprived
A war fought for a prisoners demise
