Silence

The silence is overwhelming
But no words come to his mouth
He cannot say what's on his mind
He can only wish he had more time
To tell her how he feels

The silence is overwhelming
She hears no words from his mouth
She wants to hear what's on his mind
She know's that there's not much time
To hear how he feels

He's afraid to let her know
In case she doesn't feel the same
He's afraid to let it show
He doesn't want to live in shame

The silence is overwhelming
As she walks out of his life
She can't bear to start her life again
She cannot help but feel this pain
She wished she could hear how he feels

The silence is overwhelming
He turns and walks away
He hurts inside and no matter how hard he tries
He'll never be able to deny
How he feels about her

And That's Why I Don't Read The Paper

When I woke up this morning
I had a vision in my head
I saw my life with you
I cleared my head
I wiped the sleep from my eyes
Took a deep breath

I sat down at the table
Read the day's paper
My heart leaped in my throat
I saw your name
I saw your face
Staring back at me

Why does it seem
That the best things in life can never be
Why does it seem
That things are never as they seem

I read and re-read
Pieced together the details
I crawled back up the stairs
Walked to the bathroom
Thought long and hard
Grabbed my razor

Today was to be the day
My life in solitude was to end
I was to be married
But now that is not to be
And now I no longer want to be
Life without you isn't worth living

Why does it always seem
The best things in life can never be
Why does it always seem
That things are never as they seem

Decisions...Decisions...

Every time I turn around it seems
Nothing is what is was before
The person I am and the places I've been
Are mereley a shell of their former selves

What has happend and what did I miss
What have a I done to end up like this
Is this where my life is leading
Or is this where my life is ending

So I now have a choice to make
Do I continue as I have
Or do I change everything as I know it
And risk losing everything that I have

So I sit here in the dark
Thinking about these things
Wishing I had the answers
Or that I had no questions
But that would be too easy
And such things are not meant to be
So now I hang my head
Now I hang my head

Things Unsaid

I remember when I saw you first
The thoughts that filled my head
I remember that I loved you
Despite the things I said

I was young and foolish
I regret the things I've done
I only wish I had more time with you
I pray I had more time with you

We'd see each other off and on
And my heart would ache without you
I'd promise myself I'd say something
But that's something I'd never do

Now I'm old and now you're gone
And I'm left with just these thoughts
If I could go back and change one thing
It's you're love I would have sought
