Death is a delightful hiding place for weary men.

if i only knew what regret meant

yes, you're just listening to my boring rants

long winded ~~fairytale~~

i want you to know
that i've been there before
that i've felt what you are feeling
i know the demons
that you are dealing with

i remember hiding
i remember sliding
deeper and deeper
into the darkness
and no once could harness
my anger, my lashing out

one sweet day
the sun will rise
tears will dry out
on grateful eyes
this is how we change and grow
i've been there before
just so you know

looking back i lived a lie
feelings of despair
and wanting to die
fear crept deep within
the world didnt care

my mind kept me from knowing truthfully
i knew no love for myself
if unhidden there is beauty
in the person hidden inside
in a heart there is wealth

hidden truth kept me from living
thankfully now i live
hidden truth kept me from giving
here i am, i now see
it is better to give

broken thoughts of childhood dreams
i was so broken by this walk
yet nothing is as it seems
when truth is hidden
now i live, now i talk

give yourself to the truth of you
the rest is all a lie
you are special, this is true
you are worth this life
dont let life pass you by

life goes along routinely and we seldom ever take
a moment out to contemplate the choices that we make
in fact, if you just think about your life, day in day out
you'll find you take most things for granted, there's no doubt

that is until the day arrives, that shatters sunshine bright
and tears it all to pieces as it fills our lives with fright
a phone call in the dead of night with news that's hard to bear
a child who's missing after school, you cant find anywhere

the sickness of a loved one, a heart that's in distress
the feebleness of old age making loved ones feel duress
i think perhaps the purpose of this is just to say
take time to count your blessings, for they could soon go away

dont ever take for granted, dont assume we have tomorrow
bad words between two people could forever cause them sorrow
treat everyday as though it is the last one you will know
savour every moment, reap the blessings and let them flow

* * * * *

shadows of sunrise dance across your face
as the new day begins to grow
whispers of desire fill this space
like echoes atop a winter snow

your voice greets my ears
my breath goes thin
and i fall for you
all over again

your eyes sparkle like a ring
revealed for the first time
visions of you
replay in my mind

your presence meets my eyes
my breath goes thin
and i fall for you
all over again

your heart of gold ends my rainbow
and your touch dries all my rain
like a forbidden love
to gently erase my pain

your fingertips reach mine
my breath goes thin
and i fall over you
all over again

accepting the way things have to be
could never be harder
but for you
i'd go even farther

i'd give you love
like there's no tomorrow
give you hugs
to ease your sorrow

kisses to make you melt
as we play in the rain
a touch to show
my feelings will remain

a cinderella date
on a starlit night
you're all dressed up
what a beautiful sight

your heart beats with mine
my breath goes thin
as i fall for you
all over again
