A Book I'll Never Write

And as the ashes fade to gray I slowly close my eyes
Knowing I just might not wake when morning lights the skies
Because life is not worth living without you loving me
I'd rather die tonight than miss your memory

Beautiful
I tried to find a flower to match the color of your hair

Only to discover that the species wasn't there

Because despite all of the amazing things that nature can do

It's never made anything quite as beautiful as you

Am I the name on your lips, the thoughts in your brain?

When you look at me, what do you see?
Am I your girlfriend, your soul-mate, your bride to be?
Just give me a clue
What am I to you?
Am I the breath in your lungs, the blood in your veins?
Am I the name on your lips, the thoughts in your brain?
Am I the color in your cheek, the twinkle in your eye?
Am I the tingle in your fingertips, the contentment in your sigh?
Am I the girl in your dreams, the sweetness in your tears?
Am I the taste on your tongue, the music in your ears?
Am I the tremble in your knees, the tremor in your voice?
Am I the culprit of your smile,

Two contrasting powers: my head and my heart

So easy to tell their opinions apart

But there’s always one subject they concur to be true

They have no doubt that I love you

When you look at me, what do you see?
Am I your girlfriend, your soul-mate, your bride to be?
Just give me a clue
What am I to you?

I'm just a lost soul searching for a better half
A present looking for a future better than the past
But I've been passed up so many times
Overlooked by everyone I've cared to find
And I'm starting to lose faith that there is anyone for me

Because life is not worth living without you loving me

In Accordance

My heart and my head have differing views

But neither is wrong so which should I choose

My head says run, my heart says fly

My head asks what, my heart asks why

My head says can’t, my heart says won’t

My head says try, my heart says don’t

My head says think, my heart says feel

My head says wait, my heart says deal

My head looks out, my heart looks in

My head asks how, my heart asks when

Two contrasting powers: my head and my heart

So easy to tell their opinions apart

But there’s always one subject they concur to be true

They have no doubt that I love you

But I've been in the depths of your heart
A place of damp, cold, and dark
Where all but the brightest of lights
Just cast shadows that flicker and wriggle and writhe
