Alternate Routes.

-
Could you take the long way, just to walk through times long past?

Would you take a midnight drive, to just let your memories guide the wheel?
Would you stop, late at night, to just look up at the stars and tear up at the vastness of it all?

Does the moon bask you under its glittering glow?
Do you stop and wonder why things are the way they are?
Do you sparkle at night?
Can you accept the bite of a cold winters night?

Can you invent your own endings?
Does music touch your soul?
Do you walk in the lyrics then swim through its melodies?

Do you see things beyond the surface?

Do you let the warmth of a summer breeze sweep you away to a place where your dreams lie?

Can you stand beside the ocean and let yourself get carried away in its currents?
Do you feel small?
Does the salt and dampness of the air invigorate you?
Does the thoughts of endless possibilities stand your hair up?

Can you invent a place where only you can go?
Can you look at a picture and try to look at it as the artist does who created it?

There are alternate endings to every tale,
There are alternate routes that only you know.
Life is invented as we take every new step forward.

Would you try to stand with me?
Would you invent this life with me,
Side by side, arm in arm, stride by stride?

"But only I would know what really moves you
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
There's a cinematic end
I picture it just right
Having trouble with the right words
But you tell me with your eyes
There's something good I miss
Something I cant' find
Do you believe me now?
Can you see it in my eyes?
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented"
"Invented" - Jimmy Eat World



Does the moon bask you under its glittering glow?
Do you stop and wonder why things are the way they are?
Do you sparkle at night?

I cant settle for less,
Do you see me?
Do you care?
Will you try...

"There's something good I miss
Something I cant' find
Do you believe me now?
Can you see it in my eyes?
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented"

Pieces of me

Pieces of me In Highschool I used to fantasize all the time That by this age, I'd be this far. That I would have accomplished everything I wanted  A beautiful relationship With a beautiful family  The way I was raised  I was instilled with this simplistic Hope & Ideal That with the fire of my heart's desires  I can and would accomplish anything That Life and Love are intertwined  You accomplish one then you'll have the other Call this boy-ish fantasy what you will But the truth is? I was too prideful to attain those boy-ish fantasies  Too Prideful to love myself the way I needed to be loved And in return be able to give myself to someone.  God was I prideful.  I don't really know what it was But I was obsessed with Love Yet had no clue how to get it To find it, and to function with it.  I never had a hard time attracting someone But what I did isn't something you can call dating  I'd never had a functional relationship Up until I was...

From the Daylight

  Oh how i love it and i hate it at the same time Running from the distance Selling myself for less May I spare the mercy from the mercy deep within? Please don't leave me in the end There's a light from within Yet I resist it's influence I hate the idea that I can feel again From the daylight, Oh, how I'm running from the daylight. Somehow you know at the same time That you and I are running from the same light Subconsciously aware of  Knowing it's all there. Yet somehow running away from  What we both can share. Our pride is holding us hostage. From the way we're been living The constant lies we live in All keeping us from the daylight we deserve. We draw poison from the same vine Running from the daylight Lovin' the thoughts of how it could be. From on my knee's  Though standing at the same time. Help me stand in the presence of  The Light we share, and that thought of being happy again.  How dare I dream of such an idea! We drew poison from the same ...

From the start of it all.

I want you to know: There was a time,  A time when when words I wrote, made up for feelings I lacked. There was a time when, convenience was the answer, the easy answer. I followed the easier road, because that honestly was the road  I thought I had to choose. There was a time when, I was stuck.  Stuck in the mundane practices I had thought my world to be. I hadn’t a clue… Until I met you.  Honey, I’ve never stopped writing. With you I’ve done something I’ve never done before.. 5/4  I am blessed. You are my Prince without a doubt. You are my rock. 😊 You are my constant that I love. You truly are my everything I have been looking for. You are my man. You are my handsome man. 😉 You are the best thing I could have ever asked for. I truly thank the Lord everyday for sending you to me. You will make me want to always better myself. I will do anything to always support you and to make you happy. I love you so much...
