Days Gone By

She looks at what she’s become
At all she’s built that’s come undone
Memories still linger on
Of the days that are long gone
Of a life that she could not keep
She sees now only in her sleep
But still each day she puts on this show
How broken she is they’ll never know
She’ll smile and pretend everything’s right
But behind closed doors, tears still fall each night

Dreaming

She closes her eyes and begins to see
All of those things she wishes could be
To be held so tight and held so dear
To know that love is always so near
To feel that kiss that reaches so deep
To know that her heart someone would keep
Safe and sound and free from all harm
Free to succumb to all his charm
But the dream will always disappear
And she’ll be left with nothing but fear

Would You

“Would you cry for me
If I lost my way
Would you weep for me
If I could not stay
Would my absence
Even cause a stir
Among the masses
That are a blur”

To an empty void she posed these words
No one to hear but a few lonely birds
And as they soar so high in the air
Their soft cries fall to her with such care
Telling her that the world would cry
Through all the birds that fill the sky
If it were to find her gone
By the light of the early dawn
