I remember when
You said it’d be forever
I remember when
We’d talk all night for hours

You came to me
At a time when I had no one
You made me feel
For the first time I was someone

Didn’t take too long
Before I saw your dark side
You’d say, “I love you”
Then leave me black & blue

I gave you everything
Everything I had in me
Gave you everything
I had emotionally…But now

I’m falling
Falling
Falling
Out of love with you

You gave me nothing
But, blood stained pillows
I’m nothing now
But, a weak and broken willow

You say you’re sorry
But, I can see it’s just a lie
You say you need me
As I cry through swollen eyes

I’m falling
Falling
Falling
Out of love with you

Give me the strength
To walk away
Show me the road
To find my way
Give me the will
To start again
‘Cuz there’s nothing left
And, I don’t know if I can

I’m falling
Falling
Falling
Out of love with you

I’m falling
Falling
Falling
Nothing more I can do

Nothing more, nothing more I can do

Breathe

Tired
of falling
two steps forward and threes steps back

Scenes are
changing
sands in the hour glass slips through cracks

Shadows
surrounding
covers like blankets of pain and doubt

Invading
our conscious
Let go, breathe in, breathe out

Today is better than yesterday
Tomorrow’s just a moonlight away
I know we’re really gonna be ok
The storm it makes us strong

Fear can cloud and make you lose your way
Faith is all you have to navigate
There is nothing standing in our way
I’m ready to move on

Lights
are dimming
the sounds of life quickly fades away

Twisting
and turning
through darkened corridors of hopeless days

We stumble
resisting
too much weight to be carried out

Surrender’s
Inviting
Let go, breathe in, breathe out

Today is better than yesterday
Tomorrow’s just a moonlight away
I know we’re really gonna be ok
The storm it makes us strong

Fear can cloud and make you lose your way
Faith is all you have to navigate
There is nothing standing in our way
I’m ready to move on

Let go, breathe in, breathe out

When in doubt, let go, breathe in, breathe out

We All Bleed Red

If we look beyond the color of skin and religions we believe in..
If we look beyond our set boundaries between countries;
we would all see.

We all bleed red.

Doesn’t matter your size or the shade of your eyes,
we see the sunrise from the same skies.

Shouldn’t matter today if you’re straight or gay
because when our hearts break,
we all hurt the same.

We all bleed red

If we could cut away our chains
that bind and keeps our minds restrained.
Then maybe we could clearly see
division kills humanity.
United we stand,
but divided we fall with our backs against the wall

If we could let go of indifference and greed
we could be free.
And, our hearts would see…

We all bleed red.

I remember wishing sleep would fall upon me
I remember seeing shadows form beside me
reaching out to choke me
keeping me from screaming
and no one to believe me

I remember feeling desperate and lonely
I remember hearing voices calling to me
waking up to night screams
some would call it bad dreams
darkness fell upon me

To be a fly on bloodied walls of my past
is to understand
why I fear love
more than death

I remember when my innocence was taken
I remember threats and games of the forsaken
nights aren’t meant for children
carrying the burden
love became my villain

I remember bloodied whips upon my skin and
I remember swollen lips from your “affection”
love became a weapon
home became a prison
you justified your actions

To be a fly on bloodied walls of my past
is to understand
why I fear love
more than death

I cry, I fear …less

When I wake I feel the arms of death embrace me
I use the pain as strength, using it to shield me
No one can deceive me
breathe in life more freely
I can see more clearly

To be a fly on bloodied walls of my past
is to understand
why I fear love
more than death

I cry, I fear …less

If I had a wish
I would build a rainbow bridge
Across the starry skies

If I had one chance
To see an angel dance
I’d light up like tiny fireflies

If we could spend our days
In such a lighthearted haze
We could fly above the sunrise

I could lie underneath these cotton candied clouds
And, daydream forever

We could lie underneath the baby blue skies
And drift away together

If I could sweeten rain
Like sugar coated candy canes
Would you play in it with me, I’m asking

If I could catch a cloud
Would you lie down next to me
And whisper gently like butterfly wings

If I could find this place
My imaginary space
It would make my heart sing

I could lie underneath these cotton candied clouds
And, daydream forever

We could lie underneath the baby blue skies
And drift away together

Surrealistic Fantasy

Surrealistic Fantasy

My spirits caught up in a world of illusion that leads me into momentary states of confusion. My bodies shaking because it’s aching to feel more than what visions sensory reveal.

Right now you only exist in my waking dreams and not in my current state of being while I’m left wondering what the ghost of my future might be foreseeing.

Trying not to get too caught up in something that’s not real, in something I can’t feel in this surreal world. Maybe Pandora’s’ box should have remained sealed.

But, it’s too late; my body feels your body pulsate through the black and white world in which we create. But, the calm in your words sedate and I gravitate to it as if it were my fate.

No warmth of bodies or heartbeats pounding, only fantasies to seize a moment in time innocently creating ecstasy for the mind can envision this with ease.

You have become my muse, as I transfuse the flow of creative energy fueled by passionate exchanges we effuse like a contiguous pair of hues.

I never would have thought that time and space could create a place in which my spirit might become encased in a delicate lace of grace. So for a brief moment, I will remain in this dream worlds embrace.

Sometimes
I get lost in being one
Sometimes
I wish I could have someone
To talk to
To walk with when I’m lost
To laugh with
And share my joy
Sometimes

Sometimes
I don’t feel like I belong
Sometimes
I can’t help but not feel strong
In this world
I’m an alien in a sea
Of beings, I don’t see as my reality

I see nothing
That makes any sense to me
So, I fly on faith
Someday, I’ll find someone like me

Sometimes
I prefer to be alone
Sometimes
It’s by myself that I feel whole
When I’m home
In the safety of my space
I can be, just me
Tucked away in my angels grace

Sometimes
I wonder why I don’t fit in
Sometimes
It’s hard to be so different
Could there be? Someone else out there like me.
Outcasts, Living on the edge of society

I see nothing
That makes any sense to me
So, I fly on faith
Someday, I’ll find someone like me

Cuz I don’t understand
The selfishness and greed
All around me
It’s threatening my clarity
Am I the only one that see’s?
Is there anyone else that feels like me?
That feels like me.

I see nothing
That makes any sense to me
So, I fly on faith
Someday, I’ll find someone for me

Someday

Like me

Like me

Have you ever felt so alone and misunderstood
Like a motherless cub lost in the woods
No love, no substance, no shelter, no direction
Just wandering, trying to find your way
Fighting the hunger of what you crave
It’s affection
Like the waterfall upon the rocks
I am broken, loves unspoken

And, if you ever wonder if sometimes I cry
It’s not me, must be mistaken
It’s an angel drying her wings
And the raindrops from heaven
Are falling upon my cheeks
It’s not me, must be mistaken
I’ve grown numb
It’s not me, it can’t be
I’m numb

Have you ever hoped somebody would understand
And, help you soar like an eagle through your troubled land
So high, you could touch the sky
Leave you pains behind, when loves by your side
Travel far and wide, through the mountainside
Feel the tears subside, and find peace inside
It’s perfection
Like a waterfall upon the rocks
No longer broken, Love has spoken

And, if you ever wonder if sometimes I cry
It’s not me, must be mistaken
It’s an angel drying her wings
And the raindrops from heaven
Are falling upon my cheeks
It’s not me, must be mistaken
I’ve grown numb

It’s not me, it can’t be
I’m numb

And the raindrops from heaven
Are falling upon my cheeks
It’s not me, you see
It can’t be
I’m numb

I’m numb

I Am a Ghost

I Am a Ghost (from the upcoming album “Mission of Love”)

Visit the artist facebook page CLICK HERE

Last night, I became a ghost. Dieing a little inside I hide behind the shadows of laughter manifesting only what I choose for human eyes to see invisibly cloaked behind the corner of a smile. Medicating to numb the pain because I realized I was not ready to see love become my enemy.

Last night, I became a ghost. My life force sucked out of me instantly as the past drifts by shoving my heart aside too quickly as if I were nothing. So, I find comfort in fading. Hidden out of sight and out of mind; until the spirit of time can remove the clouds of confusion that replaced my awakening.

Today, I remain a ghost. As I am unwilling to show myself or frequent old haunts for fear of losing myself completely to the pain that taunts me. It’s cold in the hollowness of this hidden place with no familiar face or voice but its better this way. This darkness is my saving grace.

Today, I am a ghost. As I drift through cavernous spaces in my soul discarding emotions that bear too much burden, to leave room for the prism of light that returns hope. I find rest in the corner of emptiness lying in the arms of my solitude. This is how I cope.

Last night, I died a little inside.

Today, I seek solace in the warmth of tears that I’ve cried.

I am a ghost.

Tomorrow, I will live again.
