Dream Life

 I want to know you. I want to hear about your interests,  Your favorite things, your problems, your thoughts. I want to see the pale blue of your eyes up close, glimmering as you speak softly and carelessly. I want to be the reason behind your smile, rendering me speechless as dimples appear upon your cheeks. I want to be the one to sing along to the radio with you, laughing as we try to hit all of the notes on key. I want to hold your hand, for hours upon hours, never letting go. I want to wake up to your raspy morning voice, watching as you wipe the sleep from your eyes. I want to be the one to touch your soft lips with mine, hearing your breath catch in your throat as you move closer. I want to run my hands through your soft hair, detangling the blond mess and smiling as you close your eyes. I want to be the one to hold you close late at night, when your demons come out to haunt you. I want to wipe your tears away, when the thoughts become too much to handle. I want to lay...

                                                        The pain will hold on gently As you move throughout your day You'll try to shake it softly But quickly learn it wants to stay It lingers in the corner  It follows you around Juts when you think you've lost it You learn no solace can be found So here's a trick, I've learned a few For me and pain, we're good old friends And pain's afraid of love, you see Because love, it always mends So openup your eyes a bit Inhale deep and strong Look for the twinkle of loves presence That surrounds you all day long It could be here, it could be there A thought, a mile, a gift Look for the love in every moment And your pain will start to shift Just start small, and whynot now Find something good to think of Pain will shy away, you'll see When what you focus on is love And bit by bit , you'll chip away At t...

                                     I made my life an arrow, The tip a deadly sharpened point, So people never came to close, That I may disappoint, I'd sit and watch in silence, As the world would pass me by, Wondering how far I'd fall, If I ever tried to fly, You watched me with such interest, Like it was me you'd tried to find, As though you knew all of my secrets, And the thoughts within my mind, You looked like all the others, But what I did not know; Was while I'd made myself an arrow, You had made yourself a bow, And apart we'd both been useless, But we'd finally worked out why, Since you need someone to pull you back, If you ever want to fly, So you aimed me with precision, And I flew straight from the start, Until I landed with a solid thud, On the target of your heart.
