Time

January 2nd, 2007

Time was closing in
All I did was breathe to ease the pain
But as every second passed
I could feel I was growing insane
I knew about my heart
It was growing so cold
And all these memories I hold
They are growing so old
So I take a deep breath
And see what’s been left behind
Because now that it’s passed
I can’t just push rewind
My heart’s been left empty
And there’s no going back
And I’m never going to find it
Everything my heart lacks
And it’s all gone
It’s disappeared in the past
And don’t take time for granted
Because time never lasts

All Been Done

December 6th, 2004

Oh I feel so bad today
I’m on my way back to San Jose
Catching teardrops from my eyes
Watching them fall from the skies – above

[Chorus:]
My hopes are gone, and I wipe my eyes
Knowing life’s just a surprise
Life’s a game that has been won
So what’s left to do when it’s all been done – yeah

Oh – what to do
I can’t even breathe
I’ve fallen for you
I’m looking around
But no one’s there
Why doesn’t anyone care

Life’s a game that has been won
And everything has all been done
When you think there’s nothing left to do
Remember that I fell for you

[Chorus:]
My hopes are gone, and I wipe my eyes
Knowing life’s just a surprise
Life’s a game that has been won
So what’s left to do when it’s all been done – yeah

Breathing slowly as I exit the house
Being as quiet as a mouse
Hoping you will know where I am
Closing the door so it won’t slam

Looking around but you’re still not here
Sliding closer to my fear
Dreams will die and memories will fade
Sitting alone in the shade – of the moon

[Chorus:]
My hopes are gone, and I wipe my eyes
Knowing life’s just a surprise
Life’s a game that has been won
So what’s left to do when it’s all been done – yeah

Should I have told you to come
No one can be number one
When you think there’s nothing left to do
Just remember I fell for you

Necessity

June 18th, 2018

Poetry is something
That I need
Like H2O
The air I breathe
I crave the words
I have to see
To unlock them from
Deep inside of me
What do I want
Only I know
But when you read
My poems show
I see it now
It’s crystal clear
I’m writing what
I see in the mirror
