Paralyzed in Love

We went out in the night,

to dance under the moonlight.

Please forgive these few clumsy lines,

because I find I’m paralyzed in love.

We danced in circles ‘round and round.

Even without the music to sound,

the beating of my heart,

beats loud enough to hear.

Forgive me for my trembling fears.

It felt like I was dancing on a boat,

swaying back and forth in your arms.

Intoxicated by your love,

unable to talk.

I’m just paralyzed in love.

Every word you’ve ever said,

plays in my head,

over and over again,

like a slideshow that never ends.

I can’t describe in words how I feel right now.

It just seems so surreal.

You whisper softly in my ear,

but I can’t seem to hear.

My heart beating loudly with you around.

From your smile I know you hear my heart’s sound.

We keep swaying gently in the night,

under stars brilliant light.

Looking into your blue eyes,

I’m paralyzed in love.

When you whisper my name,

softly into the night.

I see your eyes full of light.

As you bend down and close your eyes.

I find to my surprise,

that I’d be fine with dieing tonight.

With the taste of you on my lips,

just from your simple kiss.

I’m paralyzed in love.

I sigh as we part lips.

I lay my head down on your chest.

Listening to your heart,

I fall into a sleepy rest.

Forever mesmerized as we dance under the moonlight.

I’m paralyzed in your love.

Robin Hood

Every gal,

has her ups and downs.

Sometimes ups,

out number the downs.

But not with you man,

yeah not with you man.

The rich guy is out of town,

and the poor gal has the crown.

She’s the ruler of her universe,

with you no where around.

Now the ups start to out number the downs,

with you kicked out of town.

She’s a queen,

she has a mind of her own,

don’t think you don’t know.

She’s her own world,

she’s her own universe;

Yes, she even has her own galaxy.

You’re just a star among all the others,

she’s got time to find a light that suits her;

The one that shines bright

warm and makes her heart flutter.

But with you out of town she’s got her ups

and not her downs.

She found her Own light,

She can survive and thrive

either day or night.

Cause every gal’ don’t need a man,

Cause every gal’s don’t need a man always around.

Smile Again For Me

What if I hate you,

can never forgive you.

What if I love you,

through it all.

Even when,

you fall.

A fallen star,

dimming in the night.

I wish I could catch you,

put you back where you belong.

To see you fall below the horizon,

hurts me every day.

I know I will be ok,

even when my life is gray.

I just wish,

you were there to light the way.

The night is crushing,

taking your soul away.

Please stay,

don’t fall away.

Get over your mistakes,

take my strength.

Find the path back,

to light your way.

I’ve watched you give up,

throw your life away.

Lose your shine,

smile and grace.

I wish you’d come back to me,

back to your rightful place.

It’s ok to be angry,

and never let go.

It only gets harder,

the more that you know.

But I’ll always be here,

to see you smile again someday.

I know I will be ok,

it’s for you I’m afraid.

These tears in my eyes,

are for the life you’ve thrown away.

Get over your fears,

and smile again for me today.

Sniper

A sniper,

resting over my heart.

You’re cynical,

razor sharp.

A welcome arrow,

through the heart.

Take me from the darkness now,

before my heart bleeds out.

Give me one last look,

before I’m torn apart.

Into the lions den we go,

scatter our pieces everywhere.

The unsuspecting people all around,

never see me drop down.

Your words cut through my heart,

hits my bull’s-eye deep down.

Splinters of my heart left,

as my spirit is blown apart.

The shatters of us left,

at an uneasy rest.

Under your skin,

feels like home.

Electric shock,

on ache and bones.

String this chaos,

and turn it into light.

There is a darkness,

deep in you.

A frightening magic,

I cling to.

Sniper,

stand down.

Leave your position,

and come to me.

Haven’t you heard?

I’m not the enemy.

Night (from my past)

Your light is bright,

while mine burns down.

Lower and lower,

till the fuel runs out.

My light a dim flicker in the night.

A cold heart,

beating slowly in my chest.

A restless sleep,

as the shadows consume,

till the dark is everlasting.

Deep and dark,

is the continuing pain.

Riven with regret,

the sharp blades cut.

Burning till the blood runs out.

The cold consuming.

A welcoming,

soothing,

gently calming feeling.

As the flames take my heart,

they burn,

intertwined with the pain.

But never feeling pain,

as I walk in shadows,

consuming the world around me.

Bit by bit,

I feel it less.

Till the monotony of life devours the light,

watching the light die away.

As the shadows become my life,

the new me.

Forever a colden heart hidden in the shadows,

with the flames of the world burning all around me.
