guide

i don't understand
all of the pain

and i don't know
all the sorrow

but i do know
of hurt and i
do know of
sadness

and how it lingers
in the night

so even though
i don't have
all the right words
to say

i do understand

so tell me
as much as you
can bear

and let me
hold you
as much as you
want me to

and i will hide
the world away

i want to stay
and be the one
for you

the one who'll
help you
in your journey to you

whenever you are ready

to try living again

(stay)

alight

i think
of what happened
not too long ago

and dream
of what will happen
again

i wish
for the days
to be short

and hope
for the nights
to fly by

i remember you
as the one

who always tried to care

please remember me
as the one

who'll see you through

.....until the sun shines again....

dramatic close

in the silence
of sudden hurt
i try to think
why i take things too
seriously

why fun
all of a sudden
goes out the window
outshined by
my precious feelings

do i take myself
so seriously?

do i put myself
above others?

why do i take myself away
to the highest mountain

hugging heavy heart close

dramatically looking
to the sun alone

wondering why i
overreached

why couldn't i
breach the wall
of insanity

for just a moment
of unspoken peace

(give)

pathways

time
too short in its passing
gave credit to our gladness
and held still for a moment

long enough
for me to rediscover
the country of understanding
in your eyes

as you
got used to the wild
playfulness
that you encouraged from me

and we walked
hand in hand
into a place i should have
made my own

but never did

lead by a guide
just as blind as i was

but just as willing to learn

forests touch the sun
from far away

and grow fiercely to the winds

(again)

dreams

relaxing
connects the calm
of you
with the gleefulness
of me

dreaming
connects the escape
of you
with the playfulness
of me

sleeping
connects the purpose
of you
with the hopefulness
of me

breathe deep
the sounds of me
as i dwell in
the warmth of you

as we forget
what we've been through

and dream

(sleep)
