Hold On Tight
Hold on tight.keep me safe.
Never let me fall from grace.
Know I need you
Never leave.
Ill love you always
Please believe.
I' ve never trusted
You know its true
Today my love
I trust in you.
Kiss my lips.
Caress my heart.
Tell me
That we'll never part.
Hold on tight.keep me safe.
Never let me fall from grace.
Darkness
Darkness overtakes
me.
Engulfing me
holding me in its grip.
The fear
overwelms me
Sucking the very breath
from my lungs.
Then you put your arm
around me
as you stir
and awaken.
The light creeps
in through the curtains.
You hold
me close.
I know I am
safe.
in your loving
arms.
What Were You Thinking?
What were you thinkin when you took from me
My pride,
my innocence,my dignity?
What were you thinking?
When you forced me down,
saw the tears,
And heard the sounds?
When you were done
Did you feel somehow you had won?
I thought it my fault,
I wanted to die,
I hid the pain and tried not to cry.
I refused to let the whole world know.
How your act affected me,
More than anyone can see.
The scars don't show
The bruises did heal.
I never told,
My fate was sealed.
You took from me so much more that day,
You stole my life,
for that you'll pay.
What were you thinking?
Wrapped Within Your Arms
You know how much I love you,
I tell you every day.
And you know of all the reasons,
I'm kept so far away.
I wish that I could be with you,
to show you all my love.
To share with you my hopes and dreams,
and all I'm thinking of.
Someday it will happen,
and that day is very near.
And I'll be there with you,
instead of being here.
So keep my love within your heart,
and never let it go.
The time is drawing nearer,
for the love I have to show.
I can't wait until you show me,
the wonders of your charms.
I'm looking forward to forever,
wrapped within your arms.
IN THE SHADOW OF THE SUN
Destination still receding
To an undetermined end
I run toward salvation
From the fate I am condemned.
In the heat and on the blacktop
With my bare and bleeding toes
I am fleeing from the questions
The thoughts, my mind, my foes.
I am striving for the sunlight
And the promise that it makes
Though I don't know if it's real
And I don't know what it takes.
I may be running nowhere
And the road is very long
But I still can't look behind me
The fear is just too strong.
And so I keep on running
Though I don't know where I run
And my lungs are close to bursting
In the shadow of the sun.
