Here is How to Make Me Love You

You know what it is?
It's those parting glances
When your eyes say
Goodbye, I don't want you to go
I could turn around
And sit back down
And tell you everything
Even if it's nothing more
Than a new conversation
You have so much more power
Than you know
When you look at me
I melt everytime
We meet in that space

Sun

That's a red sun
Setting those clouds aglow
I wish you were watching with me
Whoever you are
Watching it from where you are
Meet me some day
On a hill or a beach or a church
Find me first
Don't wait to make your claim
Leave me a messege
Or a surprise
Watch the sun with me

Life is a Song to Be Sung

The younger whispered childhood spells to her sister
The older with the stunning eyes
She could be on the runway someday
The little one's feet barely off the floor
Matched by her big brown eyes
She chanted it to her grandfather
He smiled with delight
He was dark and curious
But he loved those girls
And they sang a song when they were almose there
Their little voices only reaching the second seat
They knew I had seen them and I smiled
They felt shy but proud to be there
Such beautiful ones in this world
Will I ever see them again?

I Am Waiting to Win the Lottery

I believe I have a lot to say
I don't think I've said anything worth it before
I don't know you well enough
I don't think you think it's worth it
I believe I messed up
I hope you wont stop looking over here
I hope I havn't lost any chance
I realize there might not have been one in the first place

Please prove me wrong.



"Boy, You Are Afraid but That Doesn't Get You Anywhere"
Part 3
I am also afraid and I couldn't really get anywhere

An Ode to "Most Things Positive Today"

Some friendly smiles in a Jack Johnson truck
Or the smiles of friends I love
It was so bright I cried but the breeze was a beauty
I like days like these
And although I ached and faked and wanted to fall
I finally escaped to my favorite place
Where sleep and dreams are
And later sang songs of love with my favorite man
I feel strong when I can sing
Finally ending with silliness and...
The hope that I can still hold onto those eyes
Rekindling conversations makes the heart grow 3 times
That's what this is all about

Good Morning

With the sun streaming in through the kitchen's dim
I'm so tired I can barely hold my head up
But this beauty is too much to miss
Thank God for the morning

When I'm Totally Infatuated I Rip Off Things

I hate how I miss it when you're not where you belong
When I warm up because of your laugh
When I want to fall into your eyes
I hate how I want to write something about you
Because I get so mad
When you walk away

When you do nothing at all
Even when I don't make sense at all
I wish you'd just get it
I'm just a girl who likes you.

More of a Journal Than an Artistic Piece

...Who will be Her fully
He will find Her
She will find Love
She will give life
And be life to All
And He will give Her All
At the end of it all they will celebrate
Dancing in the light He filled Her with

-----------------------------------------------------------

And I also realized
I'm tired of trying
And tired of feeling that
I need to be the one who moves
So I'm just not going to
Because it's not worth it
And I made some rules too
Drink coffee black
Don't get scared of movies
Make me laugh
Love my heart
And chase me
That's that.

Once Upon a Monday Morning

It's funny when you reach that point break
After that peak and you feel it shatter
It seems like everything comes back
Piled on top of the mess of things
And you tell yourself to hide it
The devestating truth
Whatever you're hiding will be gone in a week
Because you don't realize you're just tired
And everything is upsetting
But you promise your just tired
And after elevator rides leave you spinning
But they don't know any different

The Pictures That I Paint

20 years ago or 20 miles from here
That's what I'm sitting in front of
This golden boy in his own world
Sun streaming in through the afternoon lull

And I notice the couch matches his guitar
As the sweet notes put me to sleep
I'm in the middle of summer, Idaho
Forgetting the blindfolded room

Can you imagine how many songs they'd sing
If he was their image
So I'll sit back and paint his picture
In my mind for another time

It Is Over

Beautiful girl
It is the end of this story
And this one last grain of sand
Is being let go
Into the wind
I know it hurt
To pull it all out
But you know it's made you stronger
I can see it in your eyes
And maybe next time you'll build higher
And it'll take longer for them to tear down
But next time it'll be worth it forever
And now you've realized it's over
Because the rain doesn't fall
And the thunder doesn't roll
In your chest when you wake up
You realized when you didn't need a happy song
Just to turn your day around
And you breathed deep
And all was clear
And he was gone

I Had a Stressfull Shift at Work

Sometimes nothing really speaks
What I'm feeling
In the ways I want it to
I could write all the ways I'm lonely
I could sing of all the ways I smile
I could talk about the imbalance
But it all just crumbles on my fingers
This is such a waste
Because all I'm crying for
Is to be read and understood
For this mess of a story
And held and loved
For the way I stick it out
And adored and admired
For how clumsy I am

Done For.

you are out of here
you are out of here
I thought my parting
caused a saddness
I gave it a shot
and you went down pretty bad
so I've had enough of you

just a shot
no waste of my time
goodnight


"Boy, You Are Afraid but That Doesn't Get You Anywhere" Part 2
And it really didn't.

Do You Feel Yourself Dreaming?

There was once a time where I could tell you the truth
And you would take it and hold it dear to you
Like a mother with her child you would look in my eyes
Lay me down to sleep, lay me down

There was a path through the trees we could walk down
Like a story through a dream I could write down
My evening dress will match your smile
When I sleep tonight

Those explosions of colour that came from your head
As you simply pass it off as a messege from the dead
Don't you know she forgot your name
As she called out nothing, over and over again

And she wants to run after you but she's stuck
Her heart is leaping out of her chest just to catch up
It is completely painful waiting there, she can't move
Because she knows you're just around that corner

So it's a picture of falling snow and silent trees
In the middle of the flowers she's falling to her knees
In this factory, garden, landscape, sky
She will cry, I want to sleep tonight

Foolish Girl

I'd be a fool to hold onto the thought
That I'm on your mind
And you just choose to forget

I'd be a fool to imagine
My self with your self
In all your grandeur

I'd be a fool to think
My beauty could capture your attention
As you walk away

But being a fool
Is like living in a dream
And I'm enjoying it

Inspired By a Boy in His Garage.

Sitting on the back of
Daddy's Car
Strummin' away at
Momma's Gutar

Where are you going tonight?
Don't close your eyes, the answer's passing by

Grew up in a suburb
Of a South Florida Beach
Fell in love with a pretty little
Georgia Peach

She dazzled their eyes
She dazzled his mind
But he was never quite dazzling enough
For Her

When he finally realized
She was walking out
Into the warm night
Goodbye, Goodbye

A New Song About a Girl's Heart.

Hold your hand up to your eyes
I'll wait
Make me think this is your first time seeing me
I am the most wonderful thing
You've seen
I wont be surprised if you make me believe...

Be mine
I want to cherish you
Isn't that every girls dream
To have a little meaning
Hold me
Keep me warm through the night
I'm so transfixed on you

Did you see me in that beautiful light
Or am I just another warm night
Will I be the one to stand by your side
Or was that just another beautiful lie

Walk away til I can't hold on
Any more
Pull the answers from the hat you picked up off the floor
I'll rip you out page by page, til it's gone
Remember telling me it was worth holding on...
