I've lost myself in this sea of confusion
where land has become a dreamy dilussion
and faith has become a thing of the past
as I paddle to shores that will never be at hand.
...

Where is home but the streets I know
where everything is scattered and I am alone
throughout this matter,
throughout this ordeal.
...

Wandering hopelessly through life's largest caverns
I saw you alone, standing in the backwoods
with treasures untold, you held them so tightly.
They were neither gold nor jewels aplenty.
...

The smell of your shirt
and your blanket on my bed,
reminders that you're at home
and I'm sitting here alone again.
...

What is love but the brutality of truth
and everything that's deep in you,
functioning, forgetting, realizing?
You strive to be better
...

Simple little things that you do
and who you are, have pushed forth
the beauty in me.
Everything I love and care
...

The light that catches in his eyes
the flourishing life and killer beauty
rips me up at the seams
God, the way the corners
...

Love, the adventure
that takes you to a different plane.
It is the star
among the dark.
...

It's the same line we've heard over before
'I love you' are the words that cut deep to the core,
they mean the world, but are seldom heard
enough to engrave themselves more than a score.
