Where are the pieces

Where are you when I need you,
Anyone to hold me together,
Because I feel I'm falling apart
With the pieces flying far,
And the pain in me now,
Is so different to what I've felt,
Before, in all my years,
Everything has come together,
Into a crushing weight,
More than I can take,
Perhaps. But I've been so strong,
I want to fight, carry on,
I just need to find the pieces,
Please return my heart and help me,
Clear confusion from my head.

Ache

What is it about me,
What do you see,
What is it about you,
The things you do,
Somehow you've got me feeling,
Like I should be singing blues.

No one said it would be easy,
Life's a rough ride,
And what you're going through,
My heart's been through it too,
So just keep on smiling,
One day I'll be old news.

I'm so sorry that I hurt you,
Wish there was something I could do,
But they're funny things,
These feelings,
And in my heart there is no flutter,
Just an ache.

Arguing

Please get out of my head,

And out of my dreams,

Stop being my frustration,

My heartwrenching pain,

Take these memories from me,

Unless you come into my life again,

To stand by my side,

Hold me close,

Because though we argue,

I'd rather argue with you,

Than agree with anyone else.

Nightmare

Everything trying to bring me down,

But when I look up I see,

The world's still beautiful,

But you're not with me,

So when I smile it feels wrong,

It doesn't reach my eyes,

They've adopted pain,

And lost their shine,

So I look down when you still say you care,

That's something I'll believe,

If I wake from this nightmare.

Logical Love

Thinking of the good times hurts so much,

It was an amazing year we had,

They say all good things must end,

And they say we’re both rational people,

So now we’ve done the, logical thing,

But really, logic don’t come into love.

Tea

Enough of the fighting,

Enough of my fears,

The pain and the anger,

Enough of my tears,

After it all,

The thoughtless words,

The icy silence,

The things that hurt,

You are my darling,

The man for me,

And all we need is a hug,

And a nice cup of tea.

Dancing

How do you keep dancing,
When everything hurts,
I want to be in shining light,
But there's a shadow hanging over me.
How much strength does it take,
To stand straight and tall,
When you feel like crashing down,
Curling up so small.
Will you be my jazz,
My swing, my rock and roll?
Just please don't be,
My final curtain call.

Watching

Watching the world go by,

Waiting for the world to change,

We see so much pain.

Horrific abuse,

Things so wrong,

How do we let this go on?

But here’s city life,

With the sun in the sky,

And I know we can make things right,

All these beautiful people,

We’re going to be the change.

A Masking Tale

The time I spent staring into your deep pools of eyes,
Could be seen as a deep waste of life,
I was captured staring into your mind,
But what your eyes told were cheap rotten lies.
They spun a tale of beauty, nature and peace,
But that was nothing like what was underneath.
Beneath the sparkling blue was betraying black,
But I was caught in the pool with no turning back.
I fell and I floated and I trusted in you,
I was safe in your beauty,
Loving the time we shared,
All the while you masked just how little you cared.
Then your eyes were blank,
No longer safe swimming pools,
They were a harsh, dark sea,
With horror stories ready to drown me.
I fell and I struggled not believing the truth,
I made my own pools from the pain you drew.
I was on my own with no beauty to see,
A total wreck you left me.
Slowly the sun dried the damage you left,
Light returned to my life,
But what is lost shall not be forgotten,
I'll never forget how you treated me then.

I Went To Bluff Hill

I went to Bluff Hill,
And watched a ship come in,
Thinking of days past,
And how things begin.
Time changes everything,
Nothing stays the same,
There will always come a time,
When only memories remain.

The sea breeze chilled me,
Sent a shiver down my spine,
But there’s still a certain warmth,
To that special place of mine.

Treasure the good,
And face the rough,
All experience holds worth,
Never think it’s enough.

I went to Bluff Hill,
And watched a ship go out,
Thinking of how things end,
And what life’s about.
Enjoy good while it lasts,
But don’t shy from something new,
Though some things hurt,
Pain becomes a memory too.

It's Ok.

It's ok to shed a tear,
And remember things you don't have anymore,
Just appreciate the things you have today.
It's ok to fall apart,
Whether for one day or more,
Just keep the good in mind.
It's ok to feel torn,
But remember what your heart's for,
Just keep love in mind.
It's ok to miss your past,
And the days you had before,
Just be open to tomorrow.
It's ok to feel fear,
As you step through a new door,
Just know you're not alone.

The Drink and Two Lovers

It's so sad,
To see you falling,
With all you're doing,
You'll soon be crawling,
You can't keep going,
How you are at the moment,
I can't bear to watch it,
It's twisted, bent,
It hurts me to see,
You hurting yourself,
But I can't find the words to stop you,
Within myself,
You can't see the pain you cause,
To yourself and others,
You have to stop this,
The drink and two lovers.
