Wings

I see the rain fall down upon you,
as you look for a place to run.
I watch the clouds grow closer,
and push away the sun.
You have your own private storm,
which wont go away.
The world gets smaller and smaller,
with every passing day.
You run and run looking for a place to go,
you feel you have nothing and no one, but it just isnt so.
When you feel you have no more strength
to help you on your way,
when theres nothing anyone
can do or say,
wait for me when youre all alone,
I'll be your wings to carry you home.
You stand alone on a mountainside,
the clouds surround you and the rain doesnt show you cry.
You open your eyes and look all the way down,
you smile a little, youve finally found a way out.
When you feel you have no more strength
to help you on your way,
when theres nothing anyone can do or say,
wait for me when youre all alone,
ill be your wings to carry you home.
You run and run for what seems forever
just wanting to get away,
but you look to the sky and see the impossible,
out comes a sun ray.
The rain dies down and the clouds float away.
The sun come out to keep you warm
and you finally realize that youve weathered the storm.
When you feel you have no more strength
to help you on your way,
when theres nothing anyone can do or say,
wait for me when youre all alone, ill be your wings
to carry you home.

Anna's Eyes

Anna's eyes stare back at me
with a simple pure love.
They open up the places in my heart
I've never once thought of.
They call to me and pull me in
so gently pure and warm.
They set fire to my inside
and my innocence is torn,
could this be a sweet delicate girl
or the devil in disguise?
I'm the only one who knows
the sweet suffering it is
to look into Anna's eyes.
I close my eyes and I feel her hand touch my face
in the midst of the blazing cannons,
Can she be here with me?
Her fingers caress me gently
on the bed where I lay,
they reach the saddest places
and calm me in their only way.
I can not move a muscle
She controls all of me.
The raging fire burns around,
I hear another anguished cry
of some poor honorable man,
as some other luckier kid
drags him in from the pit of no man’s land.
But she keeps me here with her,
the only place I want to be
She shields me from the this ungodly world,
with her I am free.
When I am with her, love and beauty exist again
not in this one, where the ground
is strewn with the bodies of dying men.
Where hate and death rule with a hard and iron fist,
When Im with her that world disappears and
I feel nothing but bliss.
She comes to me in secret
when I’m laying all alone.
When the night is here
and it chills me clear through my bones.
I close my eyes and see her come,
She lays down beside me
but says not a word,
She just holds me in her arms
and we pretend we are birds.
We set sail for the place high above the sky
and through the thick white clouds,
away from this terror filled world, we fly.

The Mirror Lies

The mirror lies once again tonight,
she sees herself in a different light,
the battle lines are drawn
and now it’s a fight,
to see if she can last through one more night.
She lays in bed through the pain
she wants to stop but doesn’t want to gain,
the looks and the stares and all the names,
from the world around her, they are to blame.
The pictures of "perfect" everywhere,
these expectations just aren’t fair,
how is anyone supposed to bare
the cost of a world who doesn’t care.
She sinks down onto her knees,
against the cold porcelain caressing
her sad little face is all she sees,
she’s got to do it one more time.
That’s what she believes.
She wants to cry out,
"God just help me please"
" I see their faces in my head,
I hear their words, the ones I dread,
I know what they think, when they see me.
But that will change when im wearing red".
She wonders if they’ll wipe the tears
and talk about the fears
they have inside,
while they sit a while
and wonder what made her smile.
Or will they walk
past her grave and talk
as they throw rocks and mock
the girl they never knew.
