Writing A Few Of The Paradox Of Life

when we are too near
more is left behind

when we leave
we carry less in return

we either leave or stay
it is neither less or more

when we are full
we are speechless

when we want to speak
we think less

then we regret
it would have been

the other way around
the culprit is this silence

Leave In Silence

Girl of my dreams,
You dont know what it means to live my life without you.
I hope everyday when you pass my way I dare to say a word to you.
But everytime you look at me I go right out of my head.
And then I just turn away and act like I dont see you.
Youre so far away, no reason to stay here,
I leave in silence
Youre so far away, no reason to stay here,
I leave in silence
Sometimes I think
Ill win back my confidence and be the man I used to be.
But a touch of your smile and I feel so strange again.
And lose myself in the wait and see.
And everytime when you are near and act like you dont care
I get so insecure and then Im not so sure.
Youre so far away, no reason to stay here,
I leave in silence.
Youre so far away, no reason to stay here,
I leave in silence.
Leave in silence.
Youre so far away, no reason to stay here,
I leave in silence.
Youre so far away, no reason to stay here,
I leave in silence.
Leave in silence. yeah.
I leave in silence. oh oh.
I leave in silence. oh oh.
I leave in silence. oh oh. oh oh. yeah.

Don't Speak To Me

You are leaving me so
Don't speak to me
Anymore and just walk out the door
leave and please don't look back
I don't want to remember what
You look like
Just leave me in this dark and alonely night
Everything turn out wrong
I feel so blue
I'm just done with you
Just leave me and
Don't speak to me
Our relationship is over
No more romantic, chemistry, dinner, and anniversary
Nothing left to look forward too anymore
We just lose who we are
We never trust each other
I'm just speechless to say anything else
It's time to go our separate paths
Don't speak to me
I can't stand this when we fight
This just too much to handle
I just want to be myself again
So please just go
Don't speak to me

Lifted From Deep Sorrow

You came to leave.
Not stay.
You came to do as you pleased.
And then when you were done,
You were off to another one to 'do'.

You came to leave.
I was hoping you would stay.
I wanted to believe this was your wish.
But you just came to sniff and lick.
And I held onto foolish dreams...
You could not fulfill if I wished!

You came to leave.
Not stay.
You came to do as you pleased.
And then when you were done,
You were off to another one to 'do'.

I sat thinking of you,
When you were gone and through with me.
I wish I could not feel you grieving.
But I do!
I was just like you...
Before I cut my pain loose.
But your pain,
You desire to keep remaining in the gutter.

You came to leave.
I was hoping you would stay.
I was hoping...
Something you saw in my eyes,
You would recognize...
Had been lifted from deep sorrow.
But you never looked up...
To witness my approval of your 'business' visit.

I was satisfied...
Yes!
But never regard me,
As a client wishing for your return!
I am seeking someone to specialize my needs.
And although you are good...
I do not think of you as the one to qualify,
As a fireside companion!

When my embers burn...
They do so,
For the one who chooses to stay...
As we together ignite those sparks.
And you...
Are just a quick flicker.
To leave me ablaze,
Before you decide to go out!
And I am no longer about that.

I have a lifetime of logs left to simmer,
For the one who comes...
And enjoys what we can together sizzle!

Leave This Man Alone

(Justin Hayward)
Ah, leave this man alone, Ah, leave this man alone
Young girls with long faces come to me at night and stay the night
Why am I so lonely?
Tell me is it right? (Is it right?)
Leave them, leave them, leave them, leave those things alone
Leave them, leave them, leave them, leave those things alone
Someone said I loved you, but I can't think where (I can't think where)
You know so much about me
So don't stand and stare, stand and stare
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave my mind alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this
(Instrumental)
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this
Someone said I loved you, but I can't think where (I can't think where)
You know so much about me
So don't stand and stare, stand and stare
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave my mind alone
Leave me, leave me, leave me, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ah, ah, leave this man alone
Ahhhh

Leave Me Alone

Say you dominate you can never wait
To listen to the things that I have got to say
Youre amorous, polygamous
And thats okay as long as I dont start to play
Say listen good
You know you should
Paradise is built inside an hour glass
Im feminine but that dont mean
That I would want to travel second class
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm (yeah)
Leave me alone cause Ive got my life
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm
Just leave me alone
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine
Leave me alone
Now I am you and you are me
The signs are right and it will fit eventually
Its hard to take youd better break
A habit that has ruled for an eternity
Its your concern youd better learn
Ill never belong to you or any other man
Take what I give and go and live
With someone else if you dont understand
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm
Leave me alone cause Ive got my life
Leave me alone cause Ive got my rhythm
Just leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine
Leave me alone
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine for awhile
Leave me alone if you want to stay mine for awhile
Just leave me alone
You think youre hot stuff
You think youre so cool

Don't Leave Me

Don't leave me
I have to wait for you to come back
I will miss you too much
When you leave me I be depression

Don't leave me
You are my angel
Please stay and tell me whatever I did wrong or say and I'm sorry
You make me not want to eat or sleep if you leave me

Don't leave me
What will I do without you
Everyday not seeing you anymore will make me sad and
Think it all my fault if you leave me
You are the only one for me

Don't leave me
You are my angel
Please stay and tell me whatever I did wrong or say and I'm sorry
You make me not want to eat or sleep if you leave me

Don't leave me and
I have to wait for you
I will move onto another guy and forget you
So baby please stay with me and give me another chance

Don't leave me
I will never smile again
I can't stand back up if
You not here by my side so please stay baby
Don't leave me

Dont Leave Me

Youre sweet just like the sun
But what happens when the sun doesnt stay?
The night reminds me when you went away
Now my mind was pacing, heart is racing contemplating things that I lack
Even though you left me by myself, do I want you back?
Will you stay or will you walk?
Will you let go?
Leave me all alone
Im giving you one more chance
To make things last
Ring around the roses then shell stay
Leave me once
Leave me twice
Kiss good-bye that will suffice
When you go away
Dont look back
Leave me once and Ill be fine
Leave me twice Ill make you mine
Just one more chance to make it once again
As the days go by, I am asking why did you leave
You left me alone and then you walked out on me
Thinking of days, thinking of ways, thhinking of things that I should say
I wanna be with you and thats the only way
Dont say good-bye, just dry your eyes
A tear for everything that I did wrong
Dont say goodbye, just dry your eyes
Listen now just try and see me please dont leave me now.

Leave Me Alone

(ian hunter)
I love your sulky eyes,
I love your raven hair.
I often fantasize
A beautiful affair,
A broken paradise
cause you dont even care.
I love your sultry smile,
I love to see you dance.
Sometimes it drives me wild
To know Ive got no chance.
Your boyfriend doesnt see
Youre flirting, teasing me.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Sometimes Ill act ok,
Sometimes Ill try and hide.
But when you look at me,
I fall apart inside.
Across a broken sea
You took me for a ride.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Other lovers go home
And Im left here alone
With my heart in my hand.
I just cant understand
Why you treat me this way.
I just got to say.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
Why dont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone?
Wont you leave me alone,
Leave me alone.
(oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Why dont you leave me,
Leave me alone, oh)

Because I'm speechless...

Because I'm speechless...
I miss you and i
Stand behind you
Always in you shadow,
cry with a cloud face
Because I'm speechless.

Because I'm speechless...
Because it has been tenable
In my silence still,
I can't even seem
To utter a word.
Because my love weep
I'm still speechless.

When It Hurts The Least

I will leave you with tears crawling down my face
I will leave and it will feel like moving to hell from grace
I will leave because i cannot bear your distance
I will leave because life just wont give us a chance

I will leave knowing i have done everything i could do
I will leave owning nothing but our memories and your photo
I will leave with the last bit of pride left in me
I will leave but first i will unlock my heart and set you free

I will leave and it will tear me apart not looking back
I will leave, wave goodbye and my life will slowly turn black
I will leave knowing i was the luckiest victim of your love
I will leave missing every kiss and touch and all i can no longer have

I will leave but i hope you know i am compelled to
I will leave but i will be devistated as i worshiped you
I will leave though it hurts like mad to be forbidden from your sight
I will leave but your lost reply will kill me when i summon you every night

When I Speak To The Flowers

When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.
I know you run around and youll never settle down
And I should quit while Im still on top
But when you hold me baby in your lovin arms
I could love you forever baby, but
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
When I speak to the flowers in my backyard
They tell me to leave you, leave you behind
They tell my to leave you, just get you out of my mind.
They tell me to leave you, just leave you behind
Ow, forget all the good times, that are making me blind.

Rapture

Rapture
By: Adam M. Snow

We leave yet we leave love ones behind.
We leave yet they remain unspoken and blind.
If only they had known;
now they're all alone.

We leave to go to a world anew;
I truly feel sorry for you;
You choose your own way;
now you're left in this sin filled world to stay

I just wish we all had been ready;
but it seems that even a child could see;
how you're left behind;
unspoken and blind.

We leave to go to a world anew;
wishing you were here with us too.
There's nothing left for us to do;
but to praise our Lord and God so true.

Because You Asked Me To

Watch in silence, stunned silence
As I build a box, a wooden box, exact to size
Watch me lay, a solid fit and help
Me to snap shut the lid

Continue in silence to strike the
Match that burns bright and hot and
Is gone faster that you imagined.
Cry is silence, stunned silence

As you gather the gray, the white, and the black
Immaculately collect all the ash
Daring to not leave any of me behind
With whatever you have left of who I

Used to be, you head back to your room
Your head drooping, sullen and in defeat.
Move in silence, stunned silence
As you retrieve the silver box, with the ancient

Lock, disregard the tears that
Drip onto the rusted key, seconds later
Youre depositing the rest of me
Next to the violet heart, you

Had stolen some time before.
Wake in silence, a guilty silence
As your head pounds and you frantically
Look around.

My laughter still rings in your ears, my
Eyes are imprinted within your own
My tears still wet your finger tips
And my taste refuses to leave the residence

Of your mouth.
All of who I was continues to live in you.
Live in regret, hollow regret,
As your daily life reminds you of the

Cause of my death.
No one really knows, another couldnt help.
For knowing that the only person
That came close to knowing you,

Caring for you, loving you
Now lives in a silver box, with a
Tarnished violet heart, and simply
Because you asked me to.

Leave Nothing Behind

Leave no stone unturned.
Leave no desire not yearned.
Then look back on it all.

Leave no poem without word.
Leave no song unheard
and never let them fall
into a space where all of them
cry out for their place.

Leave no book unread.
Leave no soul unfed.
Leave no scowl upon your face.
All of these things you left undone
you must learn to embrace.

Hi There, Outside World

Hi there, Outside world,
It's been a while, you see.
I've missed you lots, and tons, and much,
And we all know you've missed me.

Hi there, Outside world,
Come inside and stay a while,
No one will know where you've gone,
In here, from the world, so vile.

Hi there, Outside world,
Aren't you curious where I've been?
Don't you want to know everything,
Like why, and how, and when?

Hi there, Outside world,
It's much better inside of doors,
No noises, or sickness, or hate, or death,
Here there's only peace, no wars.

Hi there, Outside world,
Wouldn't you love to get away?
Just leave them there, Forget they care,
Just come inside and stay.

Hi there, Outside world,
We can be friends, just you and me,
We can sing, and dance, and talk,
And for once, we'll both be free.

Hi there, Outside world,
That world is a scary place,
Wouldn't you rather a nice warm house,
Where evil leaves no trace?

Hi there, Outside world,
Come live with me, my dear,
You'll never go another day,
While cowering in fear.

Hi there, Outside world,
Please don't ask to leave,
I need someone to stay with me,
It's lonely, you'll believe.

Wait, Outside world,
I can convince you, you'll see,
Just stay here for evermore,
Leave those people be.

Outside world, I need your help,
Don't leave me here to die,
It's sad, and I feel alone,
In my spare time, I cry.

What's that you say, Outside world?
Leave my house of sadness?
Go with you to your outside place?
My word, now that's just madness!

Listen here, Outside world,
I'm never welcome back,
I've left there once, and can't return,
Of that, I'm sure as fact.

Silly little Outside world,
You say I'm missed a lot,
How could that be, Outside world,
If I've never been sought.

I see all, Outside world,
And I know they do not want me,
I'd rather stay here, in my mind,
Than live amongst the happy.

I fear I can't, Outside world,
This house is all I need,
I know it's meager, and so dark,
But, I must live my creed.

I swore an oath, Outside world,
That I should live in here for ever,
Never leave, Never be,
With or without endeavor.

I keep my word, Outside world,
This place is where I stay,
I never can go back, you see,
I've gone too far away.

Goodbye, Outside world,
I really enjoyed our chat,
I'm sorry to hear you have to go,
Devastated, at that.

So long, Outside world,
If I never see you again,
Tell the world what happened here,
Don't let it happen to them.

Speeding to Leave Your Behind Behind!

Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.

Get up and ready we gotta go.
Speeding to leave your behind.
You can't benefit if you're dragging slow.
Speeding to leave your behind.
Who said what you do,
Doesn't get you where your'e going.

Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.

Get up and ready we gotta go.
Speeding to leave your behind.
You can't benefit if you're dragging slow.
Speeding to leave your behind.
Who said what you do,
Doesn't get you where your'e going.

Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.

Why stay up half the night!
Looking for a falling star?
To make a wish...
Then,
Dismiss it.

And why,
Do you wish to fight with me?
Someone who's always there for you!
Someone who wants to have life,
Like you do!

I don't wanna do it but I'm...
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.
But I'm...
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.

Get up and ready we gotta go.
Speeding to leave your behind.
You can't benefit if you're dragging slow.

Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.
But I'm...
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.
But I'm...
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.
But I'm...
Speeding to leave your behind behind!
Speeding to leave your behind.

A Chance Comes Once In Life

A chance comes once in life
Once you let the chance go it kills you with a knife
You cry on a broken mirror
Which makes have a feeling of horror?

Once you let your beloved go free
You leave them fly like a bee
You leave them broken into pieces
As now they don't have places

You know don't be bossy like Magritte
But after some time you will regret
by then the one you love will be gone
then you will be left to dry like a bone

that choice you will make
it will catch you on the neck
you take care of your chance for that sake
as you leave him while when you go to the lake

you leave him cry
he feels like he is not in the sky
as you feel so fly
as for him he is not In joy
