It's All Good

I want to be with you

So I take a deep breath

And jump into the moment

Because you’ve showed me

I can trust in you

And when we're together

Good things happen.
 

Chorus

 










I love you now

I’ll love you forever

It’s a stormy sea

And a quiet cove

I love you now

I’ll love you forever

One day I’ll tell you

One day you’ll know

Sparkle

 














I broke into a million pieces
And no matter how many times I reworked the puzzle
No matter how long I waited to get a better perspective
It became clear part of me was missing
I’m almost sure someone found it once
He looked at me in a way
That made my heart and stomach flip
He told me I sparkled
But I didn’t know how to live that way anymore
And I let it slip away
Like a star when it sees the sun.

Almost (A Song)

You cried and I listened to your heartbreak

You told me of all your woes

It hurt to hear because I loved you

But how could you have ever known

I kept it secret, kept my love inside

It was comfortable and safe in there

My mind thought I could conceal it

Thought I could act like I didn’t care

Wishful thinking got me nowhere

Hiding my love was a painful trap

When you found another I was hurt and broken

You didn’t know, so that was that

Many years later you were at my wedding

Looking like an angel from above

You told me that you’d always loved me

But now I had another love, now I had another love.

Spring

The sun is shining

In a brilliant blue sky

The wind is gentle in the trees

Barely whispering amongst the leaves

Like your kiss

Brushing my lips

As you planted a quiet promise

That maybe one day we would be more.

I Feel It All

 

It feels like you've been murdered
But you're not dead
What's happened is that
Your soul has been killed.

Broken

 

We broke into a million pieces

I spent so much time helping put you back together

I didn’t notice I had fallen apart

By the time you were fixed and ready to move on

I was still a shattered mess

Unrecognizable

A shell of the person I had once been.

 

You Were...

 



















You were a crisp white shirt and a dry martini
A bounding labrador and Jackie O
You were center court at Wimbledon
And carried the essence of life itself.

She Gave Me This

Somewhere in there she told me things
And taught me things
Which gave me unwavering self-confidence
She told me I had a look
Which challenged anyone to cross me
She said nothing fazed me
That I used my stare to keep people at a distance
And when I think back
At times I was in danger or conflict
I would change inside
I had a resolve
An overwhelming self-preservation
Which seemed to tell anyone
They would not fare well
If they messed with me
She tells me
I had a dangerous spark
That should disarm
Any sane person.

The Way It Is

You're lying next to me in bed again
I've been used to silence
And your breathing is deep and loud
The longer I lie and listen
The louder it gets
Until its as loud as the tornado
Which passed by the house once
I want you to leave
I want you to go away
And I know
Some day you will
Some day when we've fixed
All the broken parts of you
You'll leave
Some day when the nightmares have subsided
And you've stopped talking about death
They'll take you back
Yes, they'll take you back
And break you all over again
But for now you'll stay here
I roll over and look at the picture of our babies
Illuminated by the glow of the moon.

Feel The Thunder

You were energy and soul

Rough and Tumble

You were hot dogs and apple pie

And fireworks on the fourth of July.

You And Me

Yes, let's meet
I said
And it was the beginning
Of the end.

You were...

 

You were vitality and innocence 

Brilliance and determination

You were the sun telling the moon to wait
And a field of daisies on a summer’s day.
