Smiles
I have rummaged through
My poem pile
Trying to find one
To make you smile
My feeble search
Was unsuccessful
All my poems
Were not restful
I love you more
Than a poem can express
But I'll do some work
I'll try my best
You are there
When I need you so
Your loving smile
Your eyes they glow
Your touch so soft
Your kiss so sweet
You stop at nothing
There is no feat
My endless words
Could not describe
The joy you bring
To my life
I think of you
All night and day
They bring me comfort
The words you say
So I search
through piles and piles
Of poems I've written
About your smiles
(untitled)
I was so alone
I wished you away
You kept me together
You taught me to obey
I was so gone
I turned you away
You wanted to help
You wanted to stay
I made you believe
I made you betray
You helped me to see
You helped me to say
I put you behind me
I again went astray
Your words, they confused me
Your words, they bring pain
I was so empty
I knew what to do
You showed me the way
You showed me the truth
This is a song I sort of wrote
Break Away
V1
I hate to live
I live to die
It's time to go
To say goodbye
To the world I love
But love to hate
It's been my glove
My tight closed gate
Chorus
I want to break away...
So away I break
The things you say
The abuse I take
V2
The time is near
Is there tomorrow
Please have no fear
Brush away my sorrow
There will be pain
That's no surprise
When one you love
Breaks off and dies
Chorus
V3
I want to know
Where I go from here
The death I see
Of which I have no fear
One thing I need
I know of this
Is your embrace
And your sweet kiss
Chorus 2X
V4
I see your love
You loved me dearly
You see my love
I loved you deeply
Our love was strong
But was it true
I broke away
Away from you...
Chorus (until fade out)
