I find myself missing you
Every hour of every day
And time passes so slowly
Because you’re so far away
I try to appear normal
As if all is well and fine
But you’re still there
You’re always on my mind

Lavender Love
She just wanted
What he could never give
A life spent together
To be loved and to live
But he could never see
Beyond his own ambitions
Causing her to question
His silent omissions
Still she remembers
The days of lavender love
Those are the memories
She thinks most of
But those were just dreams
Conjured by her naïve mind
And she can’t forget
How he left her behind

The little house on the hill
I used to live
In a little house
On a hill
And oh the views
So beautiful
Even still
A magical place
For sure
It was
A first real home
All just
Because
By the window
I would stand
And stare
Gazing out toward the meadows
Inhaling sweet
Fresh air
Everyday
My love
Did grow
For this amazing place
God did
Bestow
Then one day
My dream
Did fade
My window gone
Another sacrifice
Made
Time couldn’t forget
The love
That grew
My heart more content then
Than it ever
Even knew
That magical place
Now
Deeply hidden
A place
Where my dreams
Were secretly written
I’d give anything
To have
Just one more day
I honestly can’t believe
How long
I’ve stayed away
I think I must have left
My heart
Upon that hill
Because the tug upon it
Is there
Even still

Silly n Sexy
Silly is what you do to me
Sexy is what I want you to see
But giddiness takes over
And I lose my composure
Cause you bring out the silly in me
Never seeing how sexy I can be

Shaken or free?
How do you feel
After splattering your heart across a page
Do you feel freer
Or instead, enraged
Does it motivate you
To spill out some more
Or does it shake you
To your very core
How do you feel
After you’ve poured it all out
Like you want to scream
Or maybe even shout
Or do you feel lighter
Free as a bird
For now perhaps
You’ve finally been heard
