"Where Are They Now?"




Thoughts...
Words...
And moments...
Make me wonder
From where things were
To where they are now
Evidence shows the connection
Time has built the bond
Eyes search for the answers
As I ask myself...
Do you see what I see?
Standing before us
This chance at the ready
But between us...
Doubt...
To be bold and take a step
A leap of faith towards the unknown
My heart questions all
Am I the only one feeling this motion?
Am I wrong?
There is no assumptions
This is filled to the brim with deep thought
And laced heavily with confusion
Because here we be
Standing along side one another
Guessing...
Alone...
Or together?

"Unlocking The Key"



As we cry into the moonless night
Our thoughts run away with our minds
The pressure will always build, blocking us in
The light at the end of the road always seems to fade
As we privately struggle endlessly, before we search for a helping hand
The path before us will be shaded by confusion
Making us feel lost before we have even begun to be found
Locked away within the prison of our minds
Our vision blurs with multiple tears...
As we desperately scramble for the key to release us
Temptation will bribe our hearts
Because surrendering to the nothingness is all too easy
Seconds drag to moments
Will time ever pass?
Testing ourselves to the point of breaking
Hurdles and hoops have no power over the dark draining force of depression
But in the midst of it all...
One must try to struggle to remember that boundaries are to be respected
Limits have to be understood...
And goals in life should always be realistic
A last chance can only be fleeting steps behind us
While we remember that the past makes us who we are, and we live with that everyday
So don't allow the silence to become louder than your voice
We all have our battles...
And wounds...
The choice is your very own to make
Scars can be a proof of a moment of weakness
Or they can be a sign of strength
Speak up, and speak out
Reach out, and do your best to ask for a helping hand
If its the last thing that you do...
Please...
Reach out...
Save yourself before you fall
Let your voice reach to a listening ear
Because the unfortunate thing about the loudest of screams
Is that they will always fade
If you don't allow someone in to listen.

"Those Who Never Tried"



Its the feeling of a wish that you need to undo...
The hands that touch tenderly
And pull back in fear
Its the beautifully bright smiles that only ever stay as straight lines
Hopes grow, but the dreams are never fed
Because some days, words seem to bare more weight than actions
Multiple hints are dropped
But nothing is ever caught
Courage fades before there is ever even hope
Regrets are birthed before any choices are ever even made
And secrets are never able to be kept in the untold
Because devotion has dwindled to something that is very fleeting
Nothing seems to be anchored in anything anymore
Everything has begun to fade
Trust without assurance is tainted
Tenderness revoked is left tarnished
A chance upon multiple chance is never taken
So many bonds are never even forged
Because what could have been...
Is lost...
To you...
Those who never tried.

"To Let It Be..."


With the best of convictions...
Desperately do you try...
Picking up the various pieces of broken
Life...
Love...
And promises...
Bitterness bites in
Seeping in through the cracks
The light within is just a little more dim
Actions counted...
A life plan now abandoned
Emotions call out
Hands reach
Feet are ready to run
Tears stream down
Washing away the hope that remains
Everyday you are reminded...
That the pain demands to be felt...
Not avoided
As the list of realizations hit
Some subtle...
Others ever so fierce...
These moments define the path you take
Among the many struggles
How do you make yourself believe?
That you are worth more than forever waiting for someone else to be ready to love
Or to be considered good enough just the way you are...
But regret is too heavy to carry with you always
So how do you tell yourself convincingly...
That if someone wants to walk out of your life so eagerly...
Seeming to be so easily...
We are to let them go?
