This night...

This night is more than words that define you and me,

This night is more than truth that sets us free,

This night is about dreams and wishes so true,

This night is a night for both me and you,

This night is about promises that lie broken still,

This night is about words that thoughts instill,

This night is about the past and what lies ahead,

This night is about all the difference and the choices we make instead,

This night is about a greater truth that tomorrow lies unseen,

This night is more than tomorrow and the past that has been,

This night belongs to you and yet it is so mine,

Let this be my only night, one that is mine,

This night is of hands and hearts that let go,

This night is a warm feeling when it's cold, when it snows,

This night is of a lonely fight we keep fighting every day,

This night let the truth be told, let this night be of today,

This night is about a friendship so old,

This night is about destiny as it lies untold,

In the pages that my life turns ahead for me,

This night is about all of my life, and tonight just let me be.

More than just a love affair...

True love is for books to tell,
for pens and pages and voices to yell,
True love is for the heart to find,
A friendship, a promise a truth to abide,
True love is for thoughts to incline,
When the world knows I am your and you are mine,
And yet my true love is for my friends so dear,
A friendship is my true love and my friendship sincere,
A special day is for calenders to keep,and for pages to share,
A Valentine's day for my friend is a keep,
and more than just a love affair.

The harder I try...

The harder I try to be different the harder I try,

I am but like everyone else, I am me but not "mine"

So thin the shadow on my window pane, I know the day has gone,

The footsteps that marred the path have left me alone,

In silent words, I plead, in my thoughts I speak my fear,

In unforgiving memories I find myself, knowing I am still here,

For my world had changed, and I move on so free,

I am what I am, but I am not “me”,

In the roads the paths no longer travelled,

In distant dreams I watch my life unravel,

If I could reach for a friendship so true,

A friend so mine, a friend like you,

The harder I try I keep falling again,

In tomorrow’s hope I let go of today I let it end,

Un love my chance, my hope my expectations left behind,

I still look for me and a moment that is mine,

It’s hard for me I find no answer to be true tonight,

I don’t need a reason, just someone to tell me “it’s alright”

If it all made sense I believe my life would find another way,

I look for the pieces I still look for my month of may,

Most of our lives as we always will,

Close an old chapter for the new to begin,

But the warmth the impression stays far too long,

The incomplete page and the silence inside never gone,

As I write my last chapter waiting for the new to begin,

I am not sure of the change, did I loose or win,

In keeping the truth so bound so close,

I choose my life and the path that arose,

And even if the words have moved on with no feeling so mine,

I know I have lost a part of me, a feeling that’s never gone in time,

I still think of time I think of who I have become,

I think of me and the silence inside truly never gone.
