Now I Know

Flip flop
Hip hop

Twist
Turn
...Feel the burn

Secrets whisper
...Pen to share

Now I know
...You did not care

Lies, Lies, Lies

The time has come
to set me free

All the damage you've done
Has left too little of me

Do you really see no one
when you look in my eyes?

You must believe I am no one
'Cuz all you told me was lies

Holding Back

afraid to let you in
inside this broken heart

afraid to take a chance
for fear we, too, shall fall apart

afraid of being played
and taking 3 steps back

afraid of giving up
as i drown in tears of black

Let Go

It's not a measure of love
upon which you fall short

It's not a fairytale rhyme
about a prince, frog and wart

It's not a slippery slope
or a ticking time bomb

It's the beat of my heart
whispering, 'it's time to move on'......

I Don't Know Why...

i don't know why i think of you
each and every day

i don't know why i love you so
and trusted u to stay

i don't know why i gave my life
to a man who hurts me so

i don't know why i gave my heart
to a man I'll never know...

Heart

Angel among us
...so treasured and strong

You protect us, give us shelter
...you guide us through right and wrong

Your office door is always open
...your heart is never cold

You are our treasured gem
...with a heart made of gold

Hold My Hand

Hold my hand
We, two, shall walk as one

Hold my hand
We'll repair all damage done

Hold my hand
Cradle me in your embrace

Hold my hand
Our future, together, we'll face

Hold my hand
Please never let me go

Hold my hand
I love you more than you know

Curl Up

Curl up beside me
whisper in my ear
all the love between us
such passion so my dear

Curl up beside me
and never let me go
you fill my life with pleasure
oh, how I love you so

Curl up beside me
My one and only love
Curl up beside me
you fit me like a glove

Regrets

I regret those hurtful words
And every meaningless threat
That was made

I regret walking away angry
When we both
Should have stayed

I regret our lack of effort
We should have worked our problems through

But the biggest regret of all?
Is not expressing
Just how much I love you

Full Circle

The life I once thought would result in my own demise
Has been replaced, reconstructed, resurrected...

The broken woman I used to be
Can sleep in peace at last

And the knowledge I have acquired thru every tear shed
Reminds me that my journey to Self has come full circle

...And I will always make it home…
