Lived

Lived 

 

I have lived with the Devil, 

The Devil has lived with me, 

Spell the word in reverse you will see what I mean, 

In the Valley of Life when things go wrong, 

You must find the strength to carry on, 

Time is short and goes so fast, 

A moment cannot be reversed, 

So make the most It the moment you have, 

You never know it might be your last. 

 

  

Lesson Learnt

Lesson Learnt 

 

I have learnt my lesson, 

The one you have given, 

The truth it hurt me, 

I learned my lesson after the session, 

It won’t happen again, 

As I walk away. 

Tears

Tears  

 

A billion rain drops fall from the sky, 

The same number that fall from my eyes, 

Crimson eyes behind the tides, 

As streams form as they flow, 

Grey days herald their call as rain drops start to fall, 

Days of drizzle as I weep, 

Thunder, Lightening as we speak, 

A deluge now around my feet. 

Rivers

Rivers  

 

Rivers flow from these crimson eyes, 

I cannot control the tides, 

Visions of you control my thoughts, 

I don’t know what to do, 

Tsunami waves come crashing down, 

Gone are my defences, 

Wearing me down, 

Water marks scar my heart repeatedly, 

Bleeding dry from my eyes, 

Will it be like this to the day I die? 

Betrayed by love, 

Why oh why, 

I am a decent guy, 

Is it that easy for you to say goodbye. 

Heart Break

Heart Break 

 

Tears flowing from crimson eyes, 

Cascading down caressing one’s cheeks, 

Crying forever with regret, 

Biting the lip to ease the pain, 

Trying to remain sane, 

Questioning doubt, 

Figuring out, 

What it all means, 

Choking throat, 

Turning tummy, 

Sometimes life is not funny, 

Afraid of losing you, 

Not sure what to do, 

Afraid to speak, 

In case it’s goodbye, 

Just hiding behind crimson eyes, 

Patiently waiting telling you what you are, 

You are special, 

You are beautiful, 

So in love with you I am, 

Watching, 

Wanting, 

Hopefully one day you will want me too, 

Hiding behind crimson eyes waiting as time subsides. 

 

 

 

Touching Emotions

Touching Emotions 

 

Walking the boulevard of broken dreams, Going through seven degrees of separation, 

I am a mess but I don’t want to get drunk again, I can’t let it go or hold back the river, 

Can’t imagine a world without you, Trying to lose you on the flume, 

Scars need to heal, Feeling incomplete, 

Wearing my best fake smile, Trying to get out while you can, 

Good riddance to me, Nice guys come last, 

I don’t want another love, Grow old with me, 

I will battle, I will chase rubies because I care, 

You can’t hideaway, Won’t allow a beautiful mistake, 

Let’s go back to when we were on fire and let the clocks go forward, 

I hear your heart, I see the sparks as I wait in line, I need the sun to break so I can see all of me, 

Angels contemplate my fate, You and I are just ordinary people, 

Everybody knows I can change so lay me down, You are safe with me, It’s not all about sex, 

You are a grade eight, One photograph of Tenerife Sea,

 So wake me up to make you feel my love, Everything you are I love, 

I’ve been to the city and sang with Ed, This is it, So give me love and kiss me, 

Don’t look back in anger I can fix you, Stop crying your eyes out for your heart will go on, 

Little by little build a wonder wall, So say something before we collide for I am feeling incomplete, 

Not looking for a perfect replacement, I want go quietly, 

Let’s build a Lego house together for I will stand by you, 

I want to be your hero so take me to church so I can pray for two lives, 

So we can sing again. 

 

Dreams

Dreams 

 

Dreams of the future are haunting me, 

Predictions frighten me, 

Spoken truths are the reality, 

What could or could not be, 

Patiently waiting for what will be, 

In the present broken hearted, 

Getting to grips with reality, 

What has happened between you and me? 

Open, 

Honest, 

With sincerity I hope you are listening to me, 

I have said it all what you are and mean to me, 

Dreaming of the future, 

I want it to be with you,  

My love will last eternity, 

No plans have I, 

Prepared to live day by day, 

I see you, I hope you see me too, 

Dreaming of the future, 

It is so hard for me, 

Watching, 

Looking, 

Learning and remembering what I see, 

Listening now I am intently, 

To what you are saying to me.
