Amending A Broken Heart

Looking outside my window with a book in my lap
Waiting for the afternoon to turn into evening...
...the day into night and another day after that

I wonder... I wonder... if my thoughts froze

I look at the clock just one more time and ponder
Am looking at it too often or has the time slowed down
But my thoughts seemed to have travelled an eternity

I wonder... I wonder... if the time stopped

I find myself in this situation a bit too often these days
I can start anywhere but my thoughts return a full circle
Moving on is mcuh harder than thinking about you

I wonder... I wonder... if love can be absolved

I try to tell myself one can go on alone on memories
But memories always involve two - you and me
How can alone be easier than two, what did I do wrong?

I wonder... I wonder... when the happiness left

Letting you go is the hardest thing I've ever had to do
I feel this hollow inside where you used to fill me up
I know some day soon, all empty spaces would cave in

I wonder... I wonder... if then life would cease to exist

A Lifetime In A Moment

You stepped into my life like a breath of fresh air
That knocks on a window, slowly but persistently
Not asking to come in, but claiming its path

You brought hope of a new life
You brought the sweet dreams back
To the nights that weren’t passing any more

I leaned on your shoulder and soaked them
I let myself go, let you wash away my sorrows
Fingers through my hair, tamed my wondering mind

You brought dew drops and songs of sunshine
You brought the fragrance of new rain
That fills one with hope of a new life

I forgot my past and stopped looking into the future
Trying to make the best of our present time together
Hoping you’d join me to make this a better now

You brought the warmth back to my cheeks
You re-ignited the fires of desire
Little do those care of burns that walk the coals of passion

I was completely swept away
Senses lost, control forsaken
All I could think of was being together forever

I had fallen in love, and that will never change
Just like the wanderer in you can never be tamed
I knew the truth but my heart didn’t want to relent

A little ray of hope was all I looked for
Hoping my love will make a little dent
In your strong resolve to never believe in love

What you believed to be a second-hand emotion
In time I’d wished you’d see it as a ray of hope
Like a miracle cure that would bind our futures together

Its hard to see you again and again
Make your play at all that’s game
You always choose to ignore the hurt in my eyes

I know you had made your stand clear
I know nothing can be changed by my tears
But how can I unlove, even if the wounds bleed

In my heart there is a place
Where love and pain reside side by side
I don’t lose my senses any more when I close my eyes

But when I do close my eyes I feel the flood
The feelings evoked by your tender touch
It was hard not to wonder what might drown next

I know you said shifting sands can’t be permanent
But the winds can never erase memories of the footprints
I wish I had more life with you to make more memories

The sands of time would pass in spite of us both
Only one corner of my heart would freeze forever and die
I hope, to its tomb I have offered enough sweet memories of you for a lifetime
