Blue and Red Collide

Cool blue waves lapping
Against the warm, red sand
Navy gloves holding
A maroon covered hand
More different than anything
Nature had planned
Going against what
The world will command

The time’s so short
The day’s so long
Leaving my port
Remaining strong
Keep up the pace
Don’t be scared
Show your face
It’s only fair

Russet sunset fading
Into a midnight sky
A crimson smile due to
An azure eye
What is it that these differences
Will imply?
It’s the contrast between some
Such as you and I

The time’s so short
The day’s so long
Leaving my port
Remaining strong
Keep up the pace
Don’t be scared
Show your face
It’s only fair

Too Late

Is time just an empty word that
Has no meaning whatsoever?
Or does it keep us all in place,
Day after day, forever and ever?
Maybe it’s the keeper of our hopes
And of our dreams, or…
Could it be the one who rips us
Open at our seams?

But, can it be too late to say the
Loving words we say?
Isn’t it too late to leave the
Crowd instead of stay ?
Why not change time and flip
To the past?
Why not go back and
Make the moments last?

Isn’t life just enough to make us
Want to keep on living?
Or do we just wanna fall while
Inside we’re breaking but still giving?
Maybe life’s the reason that time
Isn’t just an empty word
Or maybe it’s telling the tale of what
We said, what really occurred

But, can it be too late to say the
Loving words we say?
Isn’t it too late to leave the
Crowd instead of stay ?
Why not change time and flip
To the past?
Why not go back and
Make the moments last?

Is time just an empty word
(That has no meaning whatsoever?)
Or does it keep us all in place?
(Forever and ever)

Can it be too late to say ‘Sorry?’
Can it be too late to say
‘I never meant to hurt you?’

Over

Etched out before you is
The note I wrote last night
I guess you see me now in
Different light
In my mind what I said to
You made perfect sense
Baby, ‘cause even during
Good times we were tense
And that note said

Baby, my walls aren’t coming down
I guess we’re done; stop
Comin’ round
It’s over
Oh, over
I gave my all, but it’s not enough
‘Cause this barriers made of
Stronger stuff
Trust takes long seasons to grow
And it’s something you don’t know

And so, I’m sitting in my room
With the lights off
Wondering how I let myself
Grow so soft
By tomorrow, it’ll all begin again
With me questioning how to let
My heart open
And I remember

Baby, my walls aren't coming down
I guess we're done; stop
Coming 'round
It's over
Oh, over
I gave my all, but it's not enough
'Cause this barrier's made of
Stonger stuff
Trust takes long seasons to grow
And it's something you don't know

With that said, I’ve realized
How hard it is to love
So every night, I look out my
Window and whisper to the stars
Above


Baby, my walls aren’t coming down
I guess we’re done; stop
Comin’ round
It’s over
It's over
I gave my all, but it’s not enough
‘Cause this barriers made of
Stronger stuff
Trust takes long seasons to grow
And it’s something you don’t know

Oh, it’s something you will
Never know

Maybe

I can’t help but notice
The way you look at me
But I know it can’t happen
It just wasn’t meant to be
‘Cuz I’ve been there before
And I walked out the door

But should I have held on
And maybe let you through
These walls
Walk on down through the
Halls and look into my
Memories?
Should I have opened up
A new door, led you until
We were at the top floor
Of me?
Or maybe it wasn’t right
Or maybe not for me

Sometimes I’m jealous if
You look at other girls
‘Cuz I’m not the one who’s
The center of your world
I’ve been through it all
And I was the one to fall

Should I have held on
And maybe let you through
These walls
Walk on down through the
Halls and look into my
Memories?
Should I have opened up a
New door, led you until we
Were at the top floor of me?
Or maybe it just wasn’t right
Or maybe not for me

Sometimes I wonder if I’d
Be the perfect one
If everything would be lovely
Exciting and fun
Or is it that I don’t like it
Enough to push on through
Maybe I’m in love
Maybe just not with you

I used to wonder
Should I have held on
And maybe let you through
The walls, walk on down
Uncharted halls, to peer
At my memories?
Should I have opened up
That new door and taken
You up to the top floor of
Me?

Or maybe I’m not ready
Maybe it’s too soon
Maybe I’m too innocent
Maybe I’m in love
Maybe not with you

Maybe it’s not meant to be
Or at least not with me
Oh, not with me

Lightning and Thunder Crashes

Do you remember
How our fairytale went
When we promised
That we’d live
Happily ever after?
How the mornings
Were a brighter start
To a life so filled with love
And the days went by
And you were
Who I thought of

But the heartbreak is a
Different story
Being sung to a
Different tune
The melody can
Change from one of
Life and laughter
To a symphony
Of lightning
And thunder crashes

Do you remember
When I told you
The truth
And your rejection
Hit me like a bullet
Oh, please remember
How those evenings
Were an ending to
A day once so joyful
And the night passed
On with a shooting star
Fading into the distance

The heartbreak is a
Different story
Being sung to a
Different tune
The melody can
Change from one of
Life and laughter
To a symphony
Of lightning
And thunder crashes

Just Ask

She’s got her daddy’s temper
And her mama’s eyes
She knows when to run
She knows how to cry
And she can’t help but picture
A life so much greater than this

She has blonde curls and
A fear of rejection
She’s close to accepting
Imperfections
And she can’t help but
Wonder, why am I here?

She’s got a natural beauty
One that can’t be described
Her entire being makes you
Feel alive and she’ll give you
Her everything…
Just ask

She grew up in a small town
Outside of Chicago
But wants to travel to some
Place exotic
And she dreams of playing
In the honors band

And one day she’ll grow up
And do something great
Maybe she’ll even have been
On a date
By that time, the world will
Be so clear

She’s got a natural beauty
One that can’t be described
Her entire being makes you
Feel alive and she’ll give you
Her everything…
Just ask

She has a way with words
And a way around
This tiny place she calls
Her hometown
And one day, she’ll look back
And miss it

She’s got a natural beauty
One that can’t be described
Her entire being makes you
Feel alive and she’ll give up
Her whole life for you
Just ask
　

Beautiful

She’s beautiful
Oh, she tries
But you don’t know
How hard she cries
At night before she
Drifts off to sleep

‘Cuz at her school
Almost everyone has
Blonde hair, and oh
A boyfriend
I guess she just
Doesn’t fit in

One minute, blood’s
Running down her arm
The next second, she’s
Playing up her charm
Fighting to survive
Wants to feel alive
‘Cuz she doesn’t know
She’s beautiful

She’s judged by
The way she looks
Her music and favorite
Books and can’t seem
To escape this hell!

She’s upset at every
Moment
Dying, but she won’t
Show it, absolutely
Screaming for help
　
One minute, blood’s
Running down her arm
The next second, she’s
Playing up her charm
Fighting to survive
Wants to feel alive
‘Cuz she doesn’t know
She’s beautiful

One day, she’ll
Give up her battle
Give up on life
If she can’t find her
Way to the light
　
One minute, blood’s
Running down her arm
The next second, she’s
Playing up her charm
Fighting to survive
Wants to feel alive
‘Cuz she doesn’t know
She’s beautiful

Define Hurt

How do you feel when you hurt her?
When you leave her broken upon the ground
How do you feel when you break her?
Into pieces without a trace or sound

It was anything but the truth
You keep on doing this to her
Eventually she’ll find the proof
But if this is what you prefer
I’m sure you won’t mind
If you fall behind
Define hurt

How did you feel when you cheated?
Was it what you needed all along?
In the end did you feel completed?
Did it make you feel so very strong?

It was anything but the truth
You keep on doing this to her
Eventually she’ll find the proof
But if this is what you prefer
I’m sure you won’t mind
If you fall behind
Define hurt

(Instrumental)

Oh, yeah
When she sees what’s underneath
Will you care when she can’t breathe?!

(Chorus in Background)
Why, oh, why?
Oh, why did you do that to her?
Eventually she found her proof
But it was what you preferred
Ohhhh
But, did you mind
When you fell behind?
Did you mind?
Define hurt
Oh, oh, oh…
Define hurt

Simple As That

Hello. It's been a lovely year, hasn't it?

This is where I'll put all of my songs and poems. They may from the distant past or very recent ones.

Comments are welcome.
