(no subject)
Though your accomplishments abounded,
It's the simple things that stay
Imprinted in my memories
Of a far off yesterday.
Angel voice singing to her little girl
All about the sandman
And a rascally little squirrel.
As you sat by me in the fading light
I remember wishing that you could stay all night.
And I still miss you.
Though the years have rolled on by since you've been gone
There's an empty void within me;
It's the place where you belong.
Oh, I still miss you,
So I'm sending you this message through the Veil
Hoping you are near
So that you will hear
I still miss you.
So many snapshots filed in my mind
Of the life that we once shared.
There were so many things you did to show us
How you really cared.
Funny faces, and the laughter rang out loud,
And whatever you were doing,
You stood out from the crowd.
Oh, how I longed to hold
My own candle to your light,
Hoping somehow it could one day shine as bright.
You were the light amidst the darkness
That enveloped my young soul,
And it was you who stood beside me
As I learned to become whole.
A warm embrace,
Your love shining in your face.
You could lift my spirits with your beauty and your grace.
And when your time drew near
And you had to go away,
How I cried and prayed
That somehow you could stay.

If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match and meet the standards that you set
Oh how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin' for
Bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
I am melting away
I wait for the words on the tip of your tongue
I'm only as good as the last one
Well you decide and I abide as my song goes unsung
Things are goin' crazy and I'm not sure who to blame
Everything is changing and I do not feel the same
I'm slippin' through the cracks of floors I thought that were strong
I'm tryin' to find a place where I can feel like I belong
Well, I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
I am melting away
If I could be the lesson that you learn,
You learn if only I could be the last one that love burns
If only I could get into that corner of your head
Where things finally match and meet the standards that you set
Oh how I wish I was the treasure that you were lookin' for
Bet I would feel better if only I could find the door
Well, I am cryin'
You aren't tryin'
And I am melting away

once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been
well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
when covers tucked in tight
funny when the bottom drops
how she forgets to fight... to fight
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
as darkness quickly steals the light
that shined within her eyes
she slowly swallows all her fear
and soothes her mind with lies
well all she wants and all she needs
are reasons to survive
a day in which the sun will take
her artificial light
and it's one more day in paradise
one more day in paradise
it's one more day in paradise
one last chance to feel alright
don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
don't pretend to hold it in just push it out
don't you try to hold it in just let it out and
don't you try to hold it in you hold it in
once upon a year gone by
she saw herself give in
every time she closed her eyes
she saw what could have been

Until next time remember:
Things change in peoples lives every second of every day. Each moment that passes will be different from the last. We have little control over external situations, but we are always in control of ourselves. Who you are and who you want to be is up to you, the key is to successfully deal with ever changing situations in a manner that does not oppose your own morals and values.
