Be Done With It and Live
Let it go.
Don't hold onto it,
Any longer than necessary.
Whatever it is deemed important,
Feeding on your peace of mind.
Is it worth it to get no rest...
Behind something that upsets!
And planted there by someone,
Who could care less.
People are like that!
They will do something to another,
And forget.
Let it go!
You can bet...
What they get will come!
It's like one of those what goes around,
Comes back around things!
It's unavoidable.
However...
It makes no sense waiting for that to happen!
Just know that it will!
Let it go.
Be done with it and live!

Perfect World
I never could have seen this far
I never could have seen this coming
It seems like my whole world is falling apart
Why is everything so hard?
I don't think that i can deal
With the things you said
It just wont go away
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
I used to think that i was strong
Until the day it all went wrong
I think i need a miracle to make it through
I wish that i could bring you back
I wish that i could turn back time
Cuz i can't let go
I just can't find my way
Without you I just can't find my way
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
I don't know what i should do now
I don't know where i should go
I'm still here waiting for you
I'm lost when your not around
I need to hold on to you
I just can't let you go
In a perfect world
This could never happen
In a perfect world
You'd still be here
And it makes no sense
I can just pick up the pieces
But to you this means nothing
Nothing at all
You feel nothing
Nothing at all

I Need to Forget You
Every day I see you
It hard for me because what you say
I need to forget you
I can't talk to other guys when you're in my mind
Although the process is going take slow to get over you
Every day there you're
It makes me so hard to live without you by my side because
You're the guy that I'm looking for
I need to forget you
If you don't want me then I need to move on
I realized that I should like someone who likes me for me
Every day the same thing happen
Like we keep looking at each other
So we need to stop and go our separate way
I need to forget you
I keep crying about how we're not together so I need to move on
I will found someone who will want me and not care what I look like
Every day there you're
It makes me so hard to live without you by my side because
You're the guy that I'm looking for
I need to forget you
If you don't want me then I need to move on
I realized that I should like someone who likes me for me
Every day I feel so alone because
I'm not with you and need you so bad
I always dream us with happy ending
I need to forget you
This is the real world not fairly tale
I know I will found that guy
So goodbye and I don't care about us being together anymore
I need to forget you

Please Dont Keep Me Waiting
(stephen sinclair/joe falsia)
I want to love you once again
Couldnt you love me too
Dont turn away from all that weve been thru
Everyone changes, be my friend
Havent you got the time
Help me I need you, throw me down a line
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again
Living on dreams from yesterday
Waking and youre not here
I wanna see your face
I want you near
Now is the moment we must live
You cant run and hide
I know you want me too
Down deep inside
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant hold on much longer
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant love you any stronger
Please dont keep me waiting
I cant take this kind of pain
Take me back in your arms once again

Angels With Dirty Faces
I need this to get me through
can't resist and don't want to
believe it I know it's true
I can't beat and don't want to try
perfect hell
it's more to me than you ever will know
down here where the rest of us fell
waste away with nothing left to show
while I'm in this perfect hell
obsession has begun
possessed by destruction
how did I get so low
believe me no one knows
sometimes I can't hold on
and no one can help me
now it's got a hold of me
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me
the less I do the more it makes no sense
I'm walking pollution who's drained by delusions
on the verge of destruction I cave in to abduction
thin blood I'm bleeding my pulse won't stop racing
just as my heart explodes
no chance that I could win
too hard to not give in
I just don't feel the same
cause I'm the one to blame
sometimes I can't hold on
and no one can help me
now it's got a hold of me
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me
the less I do the more it makes no sense
I need this to be myself
it feels like I need some help
it's too late to save myself
or it's just in my head
now it's got a hold of me
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me
the less I do the more it makes no sense
now it's got a hold of me
I don't think I can make it through this
now it's got a hold of me
the less I do the more it makes no sense

Invisible
Sometimes I wonder if I’m actually even here:
If the space where I am supposed to be is, indeed, just clear.
Stood in a queue, a man walked in, and got served first:
It makes me so annoyed, that I feel like I want to burst.
Do people just not actually see me standing there?
Or is it because I’m so quiet, they basically just don’t care?
People don’t seem to worry how long, I may have been waiting.
Although, my pushiness factor doesn’t score that high a rating!
Sometimes in the street, I say ‘hi! ’ to people who I see,
But they don’t even react and just look straight through me.
When a guard on a train enters my carriage, and shouts ‘Tickets please! ’
How come he bypasses me and it’s only everyone else he sees?
When a person acknowledges that I was next in line, I’m very grateful,
But people who push in front of me, I find just very hateful.
When people queue jump, maybe I look the type, who won’t say anything,
And, maybe, that makes them feel important, just like a king.
If going round a room asking for input, a teacher got sidetracked,
Very rarely, to me, to ask for my opinion, would they come back.
Everyone is important, and everyone really matters.
If people are ignored, their confidence gets battered.
Doesn’t it ever matter to you, what I may think?
I always seem to be the invisible missing link!
If people can see and if, in their head, they’ve got eyes.
The fact that I’m stood there, how can they not realise?
Feeling invisible most of the time is certainly no joke;
I sometimes feel as if I’m wearing an invisibility cloak!
But, when I did my drama exam, I wasn’t ignored,
And, my sense of being, up to the sky, really soared.
That was my moment: it was my moment in time,
And I took the opportunity to prove, that I really could shine.
Maybe I just need to learn to appear as though I’m bold,
So as I no longer feel that I’m being left out in the cold.

Stop Trying to Find the Logic in Everything
The trouble with people feeding their greed,
And perceiving their feeding to hoard
To be an eternal process,
For themselves to be kept stored.
With no one else to profit from a process,
Not stopped.
Is...
Well,
One day to be revealed as preventable.
Even their selfish deeds must come to an end.
Whether or not...
They believe what has been available,
Has been diminished without the consciousness
Of their active input,
To keep what is missing their responsibilty
To nourish the flourishing that is obviously,
Absent from their purpose.
And those who live just to feed their greed,
Do not realize they place themselves in jeopardy.
Although they are not aware of this
Behind walls of a blocked isolation.
Perceived from a direction of its inception
To be an envied way a life.
Needing at their own expense to protect.
Even if that expense is aided by depending
On the discreet and secret borrowing from others.
'I thought you said 'they' were our enemies?
Them and they and those others? '
Who cares?
What is more important?
Impressing with our pretentions
Or being honest with ourselves?
'None of it makes any sense.'
When did the feeding of one's greed,
Ever made any sense?
Hmmm?
It is a standard that is valued.
We thrive on our pretentions!
Remember that.
Stop trying to find logic in everything.

Nobody
Hey you, over there
Come on down out of my sky
Ive been a long long time waiting
Wonder why
Some people say say
They say that love comes only once
Some people say say
They say that love comes only once
But oh, life is like a rolling stone
God bless the child whos got his own yeah
A million times in a million ways
Id give my life just hear
To hear somebody say
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Can ever love you the way I do
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Can ever love you the way I do
And I really do
Life can bring some tragedy sometimes
So dont keep looking at the bad things
Sometimes love can even blow your little mind
Now Ive seen it starting to happen
Youve gotta believe in the good things
Believe in the good things
You gotta believe that theres something that hold us in a sunny place
You gotta believe that the sky wont fall
Believe thats its worth it all
You gotta believe that theres light at the end of the tunnel
And I know bad things sometimes happen for nothing
But theres got to be reason we all found each other
That we live and breathe and we need somebody else
Thats what I said
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Can ever love you the way I do
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Can ever love you the way I do
And I really do
Like a river running wild
Like a river running wild
I wanna walk down a down a country mile, oh baby
No no nobody loves me
No no nobody loves you
The way I do
No one can love you the way I do
Nobody no no nobody baby
Can ever love you like I do
And I really do
Oh baby
I really do
Oh baby
I really do
I love you
Baby I love you

In My Mind
'in my mind' i have climbed the highest mountain
i have swam the deepest sea.
i have done everything for you to get close to me.
in my mind
there is peace throughout the world
joy in the hearts of every boy and girl.
famine no longer exists
people living in total bliss.
people at work and at play
enjoying the beauties of the day.
people greeting each other in a friendly manner
raising a schools loving banner.
people stopping to help one another
and calling each other sister and brother.
weapons of destruction are in the past
peace and love 'is what lasts.'
a bartering system has started again
money is no longer a friend.
all the good things in our minds
will last throughout all of time.
all our feelings, all our desires
will explode in a frenzied fire.
they will spread throughout all lands
to make people understand
that love and peace is our goal
and a dream that we should hold.
THIS IS WHAT I SEE

Come here,
please hold my hand for now,
help me
I'm scared please show me how,
to fight this
God has a master plan
And I guess
I am in his demand
Please save me,
this time I cannot run
And I'll see
>You when this is done
and now I
>Have come to realise
that you are
the one whos left behind
Please Stay,
Until I'm gone,
I'm here hold on,
tell me I'm right here waiting
I see,
>a light it feels good
And I'll come
back soon just like you would
It's useless,
>my name has made the list
and I wish
I gave you one last kiss
Please Stay
Until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
tell me I'm right here waiting
And take,
my one last breath
and don't forget
that I will be right here
waiting
Please Stay
Until I'm gone
I'm here hold on
tell me I'm right here waiting
And take,
my one last breath
and don't forget
that I will be right here

You Are No Longer There!
I no longer hold you like I held you
When I held you...
I no longer want to...in my mind.
I no longer see you like I see you
When I saw you...
I no longer do that, with my time!
Lemonade kisses I licked we onced shared,
I don't even want them anymore...I'm full!
I no longer miss you like I missed you
When missing you...
It's no longer an issue to be defined!
Too messy...
'I no longer love you? ' Bring myself to love you?
Could you bring me peace of mind instead of puzzles
Of your pain...again? That pain...AGAIN? ..NO! '
I no longer hold you like I held you...
Enfolded holding you,
I no longer want to...in my mind!
I no longer see you,
Like I saw you when we met!
I no longer do that...
You're no longer there!
And I have no regrets!

Like No Tomorrow
It's time to live life like there's no tomorrow
Time to forget all the sorrow
Move on and trust
Do not put your faith in that which may rust
Or which moth may devour
Or things that go sour
Instead live your life without that doubt and disbelief
Throw away your grief
Make the most of that day
So that you won't have to say
I wish I would've done better, because you'll have done your best
And shrugged off the worry about the rest
But how does one achieve such peace and rest?
Put your trust in
The One who takes away sin
The only and true God, who gives such peace and joy
The one who gives a purpose and more than that... one you will enjoy
A purpose that is fulfilling
Just be willing
For once humble yourself and have faith, and live your life
Like there's no tomorrow
Because one day there really won't be, face it with no strife
And no fear, although the way is narrow
There is One with the power to pull you through
Who makes all things new
Be ready for that tomorrow where there is none
Live like there's no tomorrow because tomorrow there is no tomorrow

Tomorrow
Day after day, Im waiting
And Id lie for you.
Id die for you.
And it makes me laugh to think
That I ever heard you say
I love you.
I might never see you again,
But Ill get along
cuz Ill always know
Tomorrow will happen just like today.
Tomorrow will happen, dont care what they say.
Night after night, you used me.
Im afraid of you.
I hated you.
I wanted a chance to run
To get away,
I thought you knew.
I might never see you again,
But Ill get along
cuz Ill always know
Tomorrow will happen just like today.
Tomorrow will happen, dont care what they say.
My life would be right if you only knew,
Id come back tomorrow to be with you.
Tomorrow will happen just like today.

Hold Back The Tears
So sad, but theres nothin that I can do
Things are so bad, forget every word Ive spoken to you
Love is when it touches you down inside
Why really are you lookin for somewhere to hide
Chorus:
Youve gotta hold back the tears
Soon you will discover maybe there could be someone who cares for you
Youve gotta hold back the tears
Dont have to say never, love will come to those who are prepared
Time will never be on your side
Listen, could be your only chance to survive
This love is waiting to call you home
Dont read youll ever be on your own
Repeat chorus
To give it back
This is all youre ever gonna be
Well, is it all worth while
Theres so much that I want you to see
It could be all worth while

Self-talk In That Secret....
at the end
i am about to cry
something bothers me
somehow
i can't
i hold the knob of the
door
tightly
i want to go out from
this old house
and be with you
but i finally loosen
my hold
and go back to the room
of myself
the law speaks
tradition warns that something
may happen
and i cannot take
all the possible
harsh
consequences
and so i give up my life
and meaning
i stay in the comfort of ordinary
days
unhappily
but it is worth it
when i come back i find a house where i
can still live
it is you that makes me live some more
in the blur of our memories
when you are finally gone
with no address t refer to
(you never write me letters)
i stay put on my chair
and immerse myself in the deep silence
of my sad thoughts
it is the case again
of i want to go but i must stay
same rehashed argument
when i ask you if you are happy
your answer is yes and no,
but i understand it perfectly
it is the same answer that i write
in my journal
in those three perfect days
i forgive myself
but i can never forget you
love stays
but time shall always try to vanish it
without
our consent

Sit down and listen 'cause I've got good news for you
It was in the papers today
Some physician had made a discovery
This' what she had to say:
(Oooh you know that)
She said that every result she had backed her
Claiming that love's a longevity factor
So lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah
I can imagine, I'll see in my fantasy
I'll enjoy every day
Making love is a dynamite drug, baby
So why don't we start right away
(Ahh, please don't wait)
I don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing
'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice
Lovers live a little longer, baby
What a feeling when I hold you tight
Lovers live a little longer, yeah
I just don't care if they're watching 'cause listen
We've got a reason for each time we're kissing
'Cause lovers live a little longer, baby
You and me, we got a chance to live twice
Lovers live a little longer, ain't that nice

Strange
You think you have a hold of my heart? Just because you haunt my dreams?
Well I got news for you, You are no longer tormenting my soul.
Today I am finally letting you go..
The days of torment are no no more...
You are waiting for a forgiveness, I forgive you now please let go.
You been waiting to say goodbye?
Well today I am closing the door? and letting you be
Today I am living a new life free from your pain...
I am forgetting my past and have no one to blame
I am living strong, with all my destiny and I am in control.
You no longer have a part of me, forget my love and let me be!
My love is worth more than you will ever know, just because you have physical gold, you never have my soul....
You will never have the real me, and you pretend and have a replacement that you wish was me.
So get out that door and keep your energy far from me. Forget about the past, what we had is so far gone.
And don't try to come back with all your empty dreams, Cause finally you see that have nothing with me......
I moved on and have a real love and a family.........
My love is worth more than you will ever know, just because you have physical gold, you never have my soul....
You will never have the real me, and you pretend and have a replacement that you wish was me.
So get out that door and keep your energy far from me. Forget about the past, what we had is so far gone.

What More? Not Money!
What more can I ask for
What do I need?
What do I want?
All I need is love to live on
All I need is trust to live on
All I need is sense to live on
All I need is someone else's love to live on
Money isn't just everything
It can buy things
But there are some things money can't buy
Money can't buy my parents
No matter how much people offer me billions of dollars for my parents
I will never hand my parents to them
My parents are worth every single thing to me
I need love to go on
The loneliness is something that has a grudge on me
But with love
The grudge is gone
All I need to live on is God
When nobody listens to me
God does
He's always ready to listen
He's always ready to repsond
God is like my father
Who I love and care
Because he cares for my parents
I don't care if he doesn't care for me
Cuz' my parents are my top priority
I'll do anything to not lose them
I don't care about money
Because money comes and go
But love, God, and my parents are with me
No matter where
They're inside me
My fuel energy to live on.

Absence
I keep myself occupied
by searching for a job
on the Internet,
writing stories and poems,
taking care and feeding the animals
and sometimes I carry things
to the garage and back
and measure instinctively
about every step
and wonder why
I still care so much for you,
read stories and poetry books
and try to learn
something from other writers.
There are white arum lilies
that grows wild at the river
and on strange places
I see flowers
as if life makes opportunities
for the outcasts
and there are simple things
that I keep me busy with
to try and forget
how empty and painful
your absence becomes
and when we are together
things sometimes get muddled,
but without you
it’s the darkest night.
