Beaten

Staying without you makes my heart beat out of time yours

T ogether no more

Always was meant to be ours

Comforting you

Caring for you

Always and forever and again and again

Trying to reach the stars, my love

Often

Needs..

I only want to be lying...
Lying on a beach
Lying on my side
Lying with you

I simply want to hold...
Hold hands during the toughest storms
Hold on for one more day
Hold you tight and never let go

I always will be...
Always be yours
Always be there
Always and forever, my love

Purgatory

She wears him like a badge

An honor to be boasted

A feather in her crown

For a queen she surely is

Never a hair out of place

Or a word that is misspoken

She never does anything

To make a person frown

I can’t find fault with her

And trust me I’ve been looking

I understand her pain

He’s always on my mind

But who can compete

With runway gods and models

I’ll have to look for love

Down here in purgatory

Us sinners in the real world

Must keep among ourselves

Ultimatum

Ultimatum

Things written in stone

Stand down the ages

But I like erasers

What if you change your mind?

Vacillating is a daily occurrence

A bit of a smudge here and there

Makes us human

No one should be perfect

Flaws are something to love

No one wants someone

Who they have to worship

And stand in awe of

I want an equal

Even if that means

Always being alone

The Spoils

There are two sides to every story

Only one is generally heard

To the victor go the spoils

To the loser not a word

Who cares what happens later

If the losing is the cost

When the time has come for counting

The die has to be tossed

A decision must be made

An answer must be given

Time cannot be stretched

And history cannot rewritten

When the battle’s over

When the dust has cleared

No one ever really wins

It’s always worse than feared

This parable is not about

A war torn battleground

But the battles faced everyday

Time to face another round
