Words

Words
That remain unsaid
In the back of my mind
Where they live
Trapped
Like a butterfly
Wishing for escape
Wanting to join
The words that I say
That dance in the sunlight
Every single day
Read between the lines
Because the words that I say
Make up for the words I can't
And those are the words
That are me

Just because...

A little secret
Just for you and me
We'll hang on to it
And then you'll see
Haunting in your dreams
I'll be right there
Caring...or so it seems
At least that's what we'll say
This is the way
It's going to be
Pretend not to see
What lies beneath the eyes
Ignoring the questions
The what if and why?
Because...
Just because...
I said so...
The end!

Just a dream

Just a dream
That flutters in my mind
A wish that maybe you'll find
A way to float in on the breeze
And watch the stars
In the quiet of the night
With me
As the dark swallows
The desires of my heart
And the quiet echoes
Bounce off the walls
Shatter around my feet
And I wonder
And I dream
And I wish
Just for a moment
One moment
A glimpse of you
In the light of the moon

Haunting Shadows

The unspoken is there
Always laughing at me
Teasing and chasing
Running wild and free

It comes back in flashes
And thundering waves
Lying...waiting...
When you think that you're brave

Quietly following you
The shadows on the wall
Bouncing like echoes
Down an empty hall

And the hands
And the call
Silently...empty...alone
Waiting for you to fall
