Let Go

I wish upon this star so bright
A wish I know is worth the fight
For you to let my heart go free
Because I love you more than you love me
But I’m not the only one holding on
You know this game we play is wrong
I feel for you more than words can say
And more than anything I want you to stay
For you to hold me tight and close
To tell me that you love me the most
But the truth is this and nothing more
You left me empty on the floor
There’s nothing left but the shell of me
Because I love you more than you love me
So I plead for you to do what’s right
Help me say goodbye tonight
To all the things in which I hold hope
That end up pushing me down that slope
I am holding on to you so strong
Praying for things I know are wrong
Help me accept the things I cannot
Please help this pain that will not stop
Most of me now feels dead or lost
But I will find it again no matter the cost
All you have to do is set my heart free
Because I love you more than you love me.

Stolen Perfection

Dancing in a ballroom filled with emptiness
I’m clinging onto nothingness
Waving my arms around in madness
What else can I do?

Replaying those sweet memories
Ones filled with calmness and serenity
I’ll have to let go eventually
What else can I do?

When the world gives you perfection, wrapped up in all that’s good and right
When the world gives you perfection and then crushes it before your eyes

Deluding my sub-conscious with lies
To avoid this emotional and timely demise
I was never good at goodbyes.
But this is all I can do.

You were everything and hope
When I was walking on a tightrope
When I was struggling to cope
Now what can I do?

When the world gives you perfection, a flawless wonder of sunshine so bright.
When the world gives you perfection and then crushes it before your eyes.

I’ve fallen to my knees at last
Time to accept my pain filled past
All the shadows that it has cast
There’s nothing I can do.

Moving forward into the light
Resisting the urge to fight
Making it through the day and night
It’s all I can do.

When the world gives you perfection,
A flawless wonder of sunshine so bright, Wrapped up in all that’s good and right
When the world gives you perfection and then crushes it before your eyes
There’s nothing you can do. What else can you do?

My Saving Soul

Lingering near the precipice
Playing close to the edge
I was near enough to falling
When you pulled me back again

You ushered me away from there
And took me by the hand
You showed me how to laugh
And taught me how to stand

You showed me the vast meadows
The ones filled with long green grass
We played there for hours
Until the light turned into dark

Then we walked along a golden road
Lit only by the moon and stars
Until we reached a ballroom
Where we danced both slow and fast

You wrapped me in your warmth
And I made a thoughtful wish
The wind was cool upon my cheek
Where you left your perfect kiss

My wish is still out there
One day I hope it comes true
The happiness you've brought me
I wished the same onto you.

For Luke, the one who brightens my day with the curl of his lips.

Thing Called Love

We're lazing in a meadow
On a lovely spring day
Beautiful butterflies fluttering around us
Landing softly where we lay.
The trees rustling behind us
As the birds sing us a song
A creek with a soft trickle
That runs so far and long.
The wind is soft and subtle
but it blows the long green grass
Above us, a bright blue sky
That melts our awe-struck hearts.
Our senses are alert
To every sight, smell and sound
But nothing is more wondrous
Than what we truly found.
I look at you and smile
You smile right back at me
Because we aren't in a meadow
We're in a thing called love, you see.

For Mum <3
