As Angels Understand

A tear runs down my face
I wipe it away
All the words you say
Will not compare to this hurt

My only solace is an angel
A mentor and a friend
Sticking out his wings
Holding me close

Every vowel you said
Every promise you broke
I broke up inside
You went away
You tried to put the blame on me
As angels understand
You are not a part of my life anymore

I Want It All or Nothing At All

I want it all or nothing at all
Please don’t promise me roses
Don’t promise what you cant keep
I am sick of hearing your endless lies
I am sick of speaking to you
As if you are a hollow port
If you cant give me it all
I want nothing at all
You say that you want it all
You cant begin to bare your soul with me
How can I trust you when trust is not earned
How can I care when you leave me nothing to care for
I am here
I can’t have you then I want nothing at all

Core of My Heart

I am a wild one
Running free

Nobody could free my inner being
Nobody could break down the wall of pain and hurt
I had to overcome in the past
Nobody could see the real me
The person I dared to be

Until you came along
You took me right out of the blue
Simply by showing me you loved me
You fought demons to be with me
You killed wicked thoughts to hold me
You slayed dragons of desire to kiss me
You did not leave me
