Love is a Lie
Love is painful
Love is holding in your cries
Love is tears falling down
...

The wind gently weeps as we all walk the same old road
And we meet some who walked here before
Some hiding in the shadows, some running freely in the light
Some bearing heavy burdens and others bringing hope
...

Each new blow
Is felt with a new pain
A new sting
Eating away at my heart
...

How delightful it would be
If your heart was as sweet
As your lips
How profound it would be
...

I am so ashamed of this lie
I just want to cry
I am living on the dark side of the earth without you
And the worst part is you never knew
...

You just happen to be beautiful
And I just happen to be not quite enough
But when I sleep I'll dream of you
And that will just have to do..
...

The sun is setting
In the El Paso horizon

I'm smoke a lot
...

...

The wind blows..
I am surrounded by people
Yet, without you,
I still feel so alone
...

I gaze into the night,
I wish could tear the stars right out of the sky,
And bring them down to earth
Illuminating the dark spaces of madness.
...

I'll meet you at two
Just like we always do
...

Music to my ears
My eyes
Always looking out the windows
At all the places I could be
...

Passing familiar places
I saw a ghost of myself
Walking those streets years ago
The taste of humidity, heat
...

Hello.
I want to open up my wrists
Burn them closed
...

My love for you stirs so many emotions
It is like a river, so beautiful when it flows gently
Sometimes it just sways with the wind
But then, it can be rapid, going so many directions
...

Summer heat
In summer love
Rattling our souls
Racketing in our ears endlessly
...

Beneath the blue
Lies the green,
Under which I re-unite
Under which I see the light
...

The city was a little kinder
And the lights glistened with a sadness
Watching me
Watching it all unfold
...

If god is there then show yourself
And from the shadows bring a beauty as great as she
Its nice to be needed, I know this
But don't you know I have always needed you?
...

I thought I saw you
Admiring the smoke clouds
In exhale from my lips
For a brief moment
...
