I don't want to be a second thought.
I want to be your only thought.
I don't want to be convenient.
I want to be important.
I don't want to be on a list of many.
I want to be the first of none.
Second chances come and go.
Make me your only chance.
Seriously....
The goal of perfection only points out how far I have to go - but obedience marks how far I have already come.

Open Sesame
doors have been closed
doors have been slammed
with no window to open
until today
I stand outside looking in
not ready to enter
cautious of what I will find
I hear words my ears want to hear
I need actions my heart can feel
doors have been slammed
with no window to open
until today
I stand outside looking in
not ready to enter
cautious of what I will find
I hear words my ears want to hear
I need actions my heart can feel

April Rain
Never again will I think of rain the same way.
That cold bitter rain fell without a care for my comfort,
but I felt only the warmth of who you are.
Your passion lit the grayness of that day.
Your light fell on my soul.
Your passion has turned to disappointment.
Even in this, you burn from within.
Still you light the gloom within me.
Do not punish me for my truth.
I want the rain drops to fall once more.

Do not punish me for my truth.

Meet Me in My Dreams
Why must I dream of you
Night after night
Why must you hold
a place in my thoughts
You were in my life
but for a moment
Your touch, a whisper
Your kiss, a breeze
Yet, I am captive
to your memory
Night after night
Why must you hold
a place in my thoughts
You were in my life
but for a moment
Your touch, a whisper
Your kiss, a breeze
Yet, I am captive

Wind and Rainbows
No more chasing rainbows.
No more chasing the wind.
Let the rains come
drown the fire within.
The flames tease and taunt
and engulf my heart.
I will no longer
fall into your charm.
You tempt and flatter.
Let the truth shine.
bring peace and security
to my tormented mind
bring comfort and joy
to my exposed heart.
I must walk away.
never reach out to the lies
for you fade like the colors
of the rainbow.
I must turn my back to you.
never reach out to the lies
for you are like the wind
soon gone.
No more chasing the wind.
Let the rains come
drown the fire within.
The flames tease and taunt
and engulf my heart.
I will no longer
fall into your charm.
You tempt and flatter.
Let the truth shine.
bring peace and security
to my tormented mind
bring comfort and joy
to my exposed heart.
I must walk away.
never reach out to the lies
for you fade like the colors
of the rainbow.
I must turn my back to you.
never reach out to the lies
for you are like the wind
soon gone.

Within Yet Without
tranquility
approval
all within a glance
passion
desire
all within a kiss
affection
trust
all within a touch
yet here I am
without
approval
all within a glance
passion
desire
all within a kiss
affection
trust
all within a touch
yet here I am
without

Drowning in You
I swam against the current
and the crashing waves
I struggled to hold
onto who I am
to who I was
to who I am supposed
to be
Your undertow pulled
me in
You let me drown
without a sound
and the crashing waves
I struggled to hold
onto who I am
to who I was
to who I am supposed
to be
Your undertow pulled
me in
You let me drown
without a sound
