*this chunk of document compliments the link that I have in the "about yourself" portion of my profile... or is supposed to anywho.

Web Walking

I should not have thought about you today.

I should not have let you in to my mind to play.

I've got work to do.

I've got places to go.

I've got games to play.

But I let inside of my mind, now you won't go away.

Click me once, click me twice, reach inside my life.

I promise I'll write all the happiness and the strife

You don't have to stay.

You don't have to read.

You can click on away.

But then you won't know what happened in my life today.

I should not have thought about you today.

I should not have let you in to my mind to play.

I've got work to do.

I've got places to go.

I've got games to play.

But I let inside of my mind, now you won't go away.

Why?

She said that she loved me - I said how?
You've only known me a short while now.
She said it's in the way that my eyes join in when I smile.
She laughed and said, "It's happening right now."
She said that she loved me - I said how?
She said you're kind enough to listen to me now.

Then I thought about what happens when folks like us unite.
Honestly, for a moment I thought of taking flight.
Then she said that she loved me - I said why?
Instead of an answer, she just started to cry.

When I awoke she was by my side.
From the looks of things there was nothing left to hide.
So I asked what I said that made her cry.
She said the answers were hard to reach - but she'd try.

She told me of a life filled with youthful desire.
About a man that tried his best to kill all of her fires.
How no one seemed to listen to a single word she said.
And of all the times she had nearly wished herself dead.

Then she said that she loved me - I said why?
She smiled and said - "I don't have to try."

Back At Your Door Again

Well here I am
I'm back at your door again.
I left a piece of my mind behind, when we fought again.

No don't open the door,
I don't want to see you cry
just slip those words I said last night under the door and leave me behind.

I came over late after work last night.
You said we should spend more time together and I got uptight.
You know I hate it when my whole world turns to gray.
Words come out of my face, I never meant to say.

I would apologize,
If I thought it would help today.
But there's no good excuse I could use to explain it away.
I got you upset fighting over an invisible bone,
then slammed the door, walked away, and left you alone.

I'm sorry I'm
I'm back at your door again.
I left a piece of my mind behind, when we fought again.

Don't open the door,
I 'm afraid of what I might find
just slip those words I said last night under the door
and leave me behind.

This time I think,
I need to say good-bye.
No one that knows our history,
can tell you that you didn't try.
I can't go through life hurting you this way.
When I can keep the color in my world,
I'll come back your way.

Until then, I've gotta say good bye.
Just cling to the things that made you smile and you'll be all right.
And those angry words I said, they were all lies.
Now slide yourself away from the door and leave me behind.

Thoughts Of You

There are times when I'm alone, I close my eyes and you appear.

Beside me in my memory, though physically not here.

I could swear I feel your fingertips brush gently on my skin,

And as a smile forms on my face - I sit and I take it in...

Thoughts of you beside me,

Through times when we're apart,

Allow me to be held by you.

Forever in my heart.

Your arms circle around me, as you pull me close to you.

I lay my head upon your chest, the way that I always do.

I could swear I hear your heart beat, feel your chest move up and down,

And as your breathing settles in - I sleep to that rhythmic sound...

The warmness of your body,

Protects me from the cold.

Sometimes I feel frozen.

Without you here to hold.

Thoughts of you beside me,

Through times when we're apart,

Allow me to be held by you.

Forever in my heart.

Teenage Lament

I took the time to sit for a while,

And talk to myself.

There wasn't too much to say.

It was quiet.

I knew that was the time,

When for normal folks,

Most decisions are made.

I guess that's why I'm so.... undecided.

Then I got up and walked to the bathroom wall,

To take a look at myself.

There wasn't too much to see.

I felt blinded.

As I watch the world go spinning by,

I think of grabbing a hold,

But I know I don't have the energy

To guide it.

So I sit in my stream,

Surrounded by dreams, too scared to dare -

And I stare longingly

At the river that runs beside it.

I have decisions to make,

My future's at stake,

And I'm so

Tired.

There's so much to know;

Which way do I go?

I don't know if I can keep up

In your world...

A Candle's Song

She said that she loves me. I think she lied.
I don't see that little light come on when I look in her eyes.
I know that I should say goodbye.
But when I try - she says that she loves me.
I think she lied.

She said those words again about a week ago.
When I told her I had to pack.
I've got to go.
She sounded sincere... hell I don't know.
I think she just doesn't want to be alone.

If she doesn't love me, who will she love?
And when that day should finally arrive - What will I become?
I fear the day the hammer will fall, and she'll
Realize she doesn't want me anymore.
She said that she loves me.
I think she lied.

So I go on living day by day.
Wondering when and if my love will walk away.
My friends all tell me take what you can get.
I tell them that there's nothing worth taking yet.
She said that she loves me.
I think she lied

Castle In The Sky

I don't need a castle in the sky
I can paint a drawbridge on the floor
I don't need a diamond on my hand
I've never ever needed one before

And I don't need to hear you say you love me
I can see it right there in your eyes
No, I don't need a castle in the sky
'Cause I can paint a drawbridge on the floor

I don't have to go to special places
Where you are is good enough for me
You don't have to give me cars and houses
I have found just where I want to be

And I don't have to hear you say you need me
I can feel it when I'm in your arms
No, I don't need a castle in the sky
'Cause I can paint a drawbridge on the floor

I don't want you to worry 'bout me
I'm big enough to do it on my own
I don't have to go across an ocean
I have been to where the wind has blown

And I don't need to hear you say you want me
I can tell just by the way you smile
No, I don't need a castle in the sky
'Cause I can paint a drawbridge on the floor

Twisted

If I told you that i saw it would you see?

If I told you that it happened would you believe?

Look into my eyes tell me what you see,

In me, in me.

If I told you that I loved you would you be sad

If I said that I was leaving would you be mad

Look into my heart tell me what you see,

In me - in me.

If I said that I was sorry would you leave?

If I promised you the world would you grieve?

Look into my soul tell me what you need,

From me - from me.

Not Far Gone

Draw me a picture,

Show me a sign,

Let me know what you have in mind,

So I'll know - I'm not far gone.

When we go for a walk,

I want to take your hand,

I wish you'd help me understand,

So I'll know - I'm not far gone.

The thought I need you to find

Is that I can't read your mind.

So I don't know whether to stop or go.

The words I want to say are on my lips everyday

But if I let them fly would you go away?

Draw me a picture,

Show me a sign,

Let me know what you have in mind,

So I'll know - I'm not far gone.

Just give me something,

So I can grab hold.

Let me know if I should be bold

So I'll know - I'm not far gone.

The thought I need you to find

Is that I can't gauge your mind.

So I don't know whether to stop or go.

The words I want to say are on my lips everyday

But if I let them fly would you go away?
