"Breathless"

If our love was a fairy tale
I would charge in and rescue you
On a yacht baby we would sail
To an island where we'd say I do

And if we had babies they would look like you
It'd be so beautiful if that came true
You don't even know how very special you are

You leave me breathless
You're everything good in my life
You leave me breathless
I still can't believe that you're mine
You just walked out of one of my dreams
So beautiful you're leaving me
Breathless

And if our love was a story book
We would meet on the very first page
The last chapter would be about
How I'm thankful for the life we've made

And if we had babies they would have your eyes
I would fall deeper watching you give life
You don't even know how very special you are

You must have been sent from heaven to earth to change me
You're like an angel
The thing that I feel is stronger than love believe me
You're something special
I only hope that I'll one day deserve what you've given me
But all I can do is try
Every day of my life

Sleeping

I was depressed for reasons unknown It wasn't because of you.

You came up to me and asked,
"What's wrong with you today?"
I answered, "It's nothing, don't worry.
I promise I'll be okay."

You seemed to believe me
Though it wasn't true
I hated the lying
I wanted to tell the truth.

But that wasn't possible 
I didn't even know what was wrong
All I knew was I was sad
And I'd felt like this for too long.

Sometimes you could make me smile
But it wasn't always enough
Depression was taking over
And it was becoming too much.

I knew that someday soon
I'd finally end my life
I had not eaten in weeks
And there was blood all over my knife.

When I'm gone, I want you to know
That this was something I just had to do
I was depressed for reasons unknown
It wasn't because of you.

Depession and Heartache,

Depession and Heartache,
The signs of the hurt.

The tears that flow forever,
Masscara on her shirt.

Nostalgia for her is common,
She remembers their dates.

What else would you expect,
From a girl whose heart breaks.

There is a place just for me

There is a place just for me
I keep it under lock and key

It's my minefield to sweep
For in this place, only I go that deep

No love, only hatred, inside
Therefore, only I will abide

You cannot touch me when I'm there
This cross is mine, you see, to bear

I made this hiding place for me
And only I need to RSVP

So when you see that look of disdain
Please know my secret password is pain

The gush of wind blew my hair,

The gush of wind blew my hair,
Straight up to the unforgiving air.
Fall was peaking around the trees,
Leaves would pile high, 
soon up to my knees.
Hello orange, yellow, and red,
Bye-bye June, July, and August,
hello Halloween.
The warmth is gone and won

Dancing with sweet feminism,

Dancing with sweet feminism,
above cemeteries of barren fields.
Inhaling a bitter scent of pessimism,
as my feet step over fallen leaves.

Arrogant gust recoloring dreams;
green to orange as yellow beams.
From deep inside the arid lands,
cold nips the warmth of my hands.

Steeped within this golden view
with all my senses remembering you
Consolation yet, refills my heart
as autumn begs spring to start..

Swaying around, with sweetness still
I sink deep within the yellowish hill
continuously breathing in hope until
Autumn dreams fall out of thrill..
