To Nowhere

I can’t trust that you trust me
The secondhand info you have
Turns into third hand knowledge
That isn’t quite the right story.

How could I be so blind, let you lead me on
You hide behind your mask
And I don’t tell don’t ask
Why do I let this go on, why do you lead me on?

Watching every move I make
Hearing every step I take
You know my plan before I do
You know just what you do
To me

Take me far away from here
Move me over there
I Lift me up, you shoot me down
I am always on the ground.
Always on the ground.

Running a losing race.
You’re living in another time and space
And I am running a losing race.
All I want is a getaway
But I’m running a losing race.
I’m always on the path….
TO NOWHERE.

Just when I think it’s alright,
It’s never alright.
Just when I think it’s over
It’s never over.

Won’t you stand in my shoes
See the war wounds
If you could look in me straight in the eyes
You’d see all the lies I've been told

Running a losing race.
You’re living in another time and space
And I am running a losing race.
All I want is a getaway
But I’m running a losing race.
I’m always on the path….
TO NOWHERE.

LOVE FOR GRANTED

I Walked away from you. Why do I question my decision.
Twisted tongue, you were always confusing. Tried to keep me guessing.
I had to get away.

Regretting what could have been. Remembering what was.
Trying to let time pass to erase our time from my mind.
I can’t get far enough away.

You took my love,
You took my love for granted.
You were all I ever wanted.
But you couldn’t love me back.

Why do you shut out those that have love to give you.
Those that want to be with you.
Those that care about you.


Your lies no longer can blind me from the truth. I can see the light.
I held back on loving you. I would have given you my all.
But you pushed me away,
Like so many before me.

You took my love,
You took my love for granted.
You were all I ever wanted.
But you couldn’t love me back.


I was standing still, reflecting upon the past
Now I’m moving forward, watching the future happen
All I can do is think about you, wishing you were here
To see what we could be.

But we can’t, cuz you won’t.
That’s ok, baby.
The hope is gone. I have finally moved on.
And I am alright…..

Ya I am alright….
Tonight.

HEADACHE

I don’t want to be that person in the mirror looking back at me.
I can see you stare right thru me, you think you know me so well
You don’t you can’t see what’s inside my head
You can’t feel what’s behind these eyes

This heart it breaks for you seeing you hurt this way
But I know you can’t stop what you do
I try to be your guide, but you just won’t listen
When will you hear the sound of my voice.

Think through what you do.
Don’t fall into this trap,
Just keep telling yourself you’re better than that.

My voice is muted by your anger.
I feel so trapped inside this head of mine
Your actions lead to distraction
And your pain is not felt by the ones you intend

I cant trust the thoughts inside your mind.
You push and pull and think you can control.
You lose when you give in to this abuse
Just hold on tight soon this fight will end

Time will somehow erase those memories
And leave you whole again, rather than let
You live with this hole in your heart.
One day you can look in the mirror and
Love yourself, love life again.

Believe In Me

You got me all tongue tied, thoughts twisted
I can’t say what I need to say, when you are near

Knees are weak, heart skips a beat
I can’t say what I want to say, when you are here.

Chorus:
All I ever wanted I found in you.
All I ever needed I see in you.
Keep me close though I can’t speak
the words I have to say
You just have to believe.

Don’t move from me, just give me time.
I want you to know that you are mine.

I want to share with you my hopes and dreams
Please, this is not as it seems.

Chorus:
All I ever wanted I found in you.
All I ever needed I see in you.
Keep me close though I can’t speak
the words I have to say
You just have to believe.


I try so hard to say the words
You need to hear
My head won’t speak what my
Heart wants to say
I don’t know why I am torn
Or why I feel this way

Chorus:
All I ever wanted I found in you.
All I ever needed I see in you.
Keep me close though I can’t speak
the words I have to say
You just have to believe.

Baby, please believe in me.

Fade

Making it thru another day,
It’s hard to go on this way
Living life seems hard to do,
I go on with the memories of you

You’re life was taken in vain,
It’s so hard to deal with this pain
The scars you left behind
Are the ones that are on my mind.

Chorus
Time moves on and heals these wounds
I just hope it happens soon
We never did say goodbye
And here i sit trying to cry.
I can feel your presence near
I hear your words in my ear…..


I can’t help but feel this loss
Though your memory will stay close
In my heart I hope to heal
Right now it’s just so hard to deal.

Life moves on and feelings fade,
I hear the song that we once played
Living life seems hard at times
Oh, please just give me one sign

Chorus
Time moves on and heals these wounds
I just hope it happens soon
We never did say goodbye
And here i sit starting to cry.
I can feel your presence near
I hear your words in my ear…..


Bridge
Why does it feel like I died on the inside
I have to turn my back on everyone and stay blind
To the fact that I won’t get over this
I cant get over this
Will I get over this?

Edge of Time

Run to me my love
Don’t stop til you’re here next to me
I want to feel you, smell you, hold you in my arms
Let’s run thru the wind and create our own breeze

Keep coming my love
Don’t stop til you’re where you need to be
I want to help you, push you, make you who you deserve to be
Let’s make the most of what we got and take our love to the edge of time.

Chorus
Time will tell our story
Hear the words; feel the glory
Love will be our guide
And It’s just us on the inside
On these pages of this fairy tale love story

Keep dreaming my love
We will create memories to hold
Put our note in a bottle for some distant time
Those who will find will know we were meant to be forever.

Chorus
Time will tell our story
Hear the words; feel the glory
Love will be our guide
And It’s just us on the inside
On these pages of this fairy tale love story

Bridge
Want to feel it in my soul
You are the only one that makes my whole heart feel complete
I can feel you when you breathe
Keep on flowing like the sea straight into me
I stand on the edge where the water meets the sand.
And this is where we will be hand in hand

Chorus
Time will tell our story
Hear the words; feel the glory
Love will be our guide
And It’s just us on the inside
On these pages of this fairy tale love story

Intro

Ok...so this is my first real blog. My friends told me long ago that I should start up something like this. They claim I am funny, witty, silly, and comical, you get the picture. Sometimes I feel like I should have started a blog up on that day, so long ago. So many good ideas and quirky comments have slipped in and out of my cranium since then. But life happens, you get side tracked, other jobs arise, other social networking sites come along (Twitter) and have you: hook, line and sinker.


Which leads me to talk about Twitter. It IS my new found addiction, along with emailing amongst friends. Twitter is like text messaging for the world to see. Nothing is private. (with the exception of a DM) Sometimes it's fun, other people join in, and you make new acquaintances. Other times you bite your tongue and send an email to express yourself to a friend.


Being this is my first blog, I hope that I will reflect upon this in a month (or ten), and see how much I have learned about blogging, life, love, etc. I hope to use this as a journey in my writing skills and possibly will post excerpts from my book that I am trying to complete. I would like to hear feedback on my literary 'creation'. So far, everyone that I have given it to has had nothing but praise for me. I trust their judgment, but it's my own criticism that I fear. And this has put me at a slight impasse for trying to move forward and finish it. Fearing once it's done, then what? Will it just sit in my computer, as a file? Or will I have the courage to look into printing it and placing it on a shelf? (Assuming someone WANTS to go that far with it. Which is a whole other topic of self doubt.)


I guess that is what I hope to learn in the coming months. Until then, I will keep re-reading my story, inserting lines and correcting grammar. I'm hoping for a spark that ignites an idea to help tie everything together.

Thanks for reading, I hope you'll return.
