What's wrong?
What's stopping me from telling you what I long
To let you know about this weight that falls upon
These shoulders dropping at the thought of you, gone.
I lie awake,
Wondering how could I make so many mistakes
To see you with your back to me, my heart aches
I see myself slipping, I try to hit the brakes
But the line's cut.
In her sleep she called to me
In her sleep she called.
In her dream she needed me,
But why, she'd not recall.
I heard her crying out for me,
I rushed there to her aid.
My daughter reaching out for me,
In her bed she lay.
In her sleep she called to me,
A reason was not found.
I held her there to calm her,
Let her see how safe and sound.
She'd woken to her parents both,
To comfort and secure.
Her father, I, hugged daughter close,
Her safety he assured.
Though none may know what caused her cry,
All know, protecting her, stand I.
A rock in a river
Watching worlds go by
Has even less motion
Than a middle-class tie
Knowledge of what's passing
Inability to join
To have and yet be lacking
Two sides, one coin
Give me only what I need
I'll build you what you want
And more to fill your hollow greed
While I myself am gaunt
So here I sit, this riverbed
and watch the things that float
Still as a rock, though I raise my head
It seems I missed the boat.
I've always tried to hide my tears
To look as if I've got no fears
But when I let the rivers run
The rain will never come
Always act as if there is no pain
The world must never know
But your soul dries up, you need the rain
Without it you won't grow
I thought I missed her just last night
But tonight shows how that's vain
Seems like she can't stand the sight
Of me, dried up, no rain.
One mistake, I took it in
Locked away, my secret sin
I let her close, she looked within
My life hangs by a thread so thin
I've always tried to hide my tears
To look as if I've got no fears
But when I let the rivers run
The rain will never
Peace. Your heart races as you sense this peace overwhelming you. The world no longer matters. Beating rapidly, your heart is reaching out for this one person who triggers this feeling. With your arms around them, you feel as if you're being rocked my a ship, not dizzy but relaxed. You could fall asleep easily just sitting with them. And yet, with all this peace, there's a party going on.
Joy. You could dance endlessly with no music just thinking of this person. You could look a fool for this person and not care. You are here with them and this is all that matters. The past is already forgotten, the present is where you are. The future is si

I fold her hands around it
And ask her not to squeeze
There's nothing else about it
My heart is hers to seize
I folded it so gingerly
Delicate to anything
Please handle it just purely
And forever it will sing
So she took mine
And gave me hers
But over time
My vision blurs
I miss my heart
Does she still care?
Tear hers apart
Somehow I dare
She knows full well
My ugly deed
Her tears just fell
Her love was freed
I realized what I had done
With immediate regret
Withdrew myself from everyone
But too late, we won't forget
Her paper heart
Torn into shreds
Mine falls apart
Too full of dread
Yet she still holds the pieces
So, I'm attempting to right another little story. I'm horrible about starting new stories without finishing my others, but my others need a break. I need time to not think about them, and then some time to figure out where they need to go.
This one is flowing rather smoothly right now. It's really just a fanfic, but it's got totally original characters and a whole new aspect on the common elements.
If you look at the title, you can probably guess what it's a fanfic of. Now, please excuse me to go back to writing. =]
Also, the little one sure better be happy I went to his camp family night. I could've been watching the Rush Documentary. One
Because it's in my nature.

I'm not loving it. Really, I've enjoyed most of the other versions, but this one takes too long to load, and it looks almost soulless. The transition from one page, say, someone's profile, to a deviation is honestly the only thing I really like about it. Oh well. I guess I'm just going to be waiting for version 8 to bring the soul back.
Good night, deviants. When I wake up, I'll be trying to draw something. Wish me luck?
