Only You (Song)

Like a baby
trying to stand
trying to walk
I stumble and I fall
No object in this world
Can keep me up
Can stop me from hitting the ground

Only You can hold me
Only You can catch me
Only You can be my cushion
Only You can lift me up

As I run
I stumble
Look to those around
To catch me
To Lift me up
But they can't keep me up

Only You can hold me
Only You can catch me
Only You can be my cushion
Only You can lift me up

As I grow old
My body weakens
My bones creak
No rail or bar
can keep me from falling
can stop the break
can prevent the pain

Only You can hold me
Only You can catch me
Only You can be my cushion
Only You can lift me up

I reach for you when falling
Scream for you in pain
Cry for you in sorrow
Call to you from the ground
Because

Only You can hold me
Only You can catch me
Only You can be my cushion
Only You can lift me up

When All The Cards Are Down

When all the pieces fall
When all the cards are down
When the darkness once again fills my heart
Who can I turn to?
Where can I run?
When I take no satisfaction
from earthly relationships
When I smile faintly when
the round peg goes in the square hole
The hole that is my heart
I find nothing satisfies
Nothing makes me truly happy
Nothing makes me smile more
Then the peg that fits best
I need you
My rock
I cling to you in the storm
I will seek you more from here on
and strive until I see your face
Please help me put the pieces back
Where you designed them be
For only you can know
how the puzzle fits best.

My Soul Burns

My soul burns
With the fury
Of a thousand suns
Because of the betrayal
By the one I Loved
All was lost
Long Before
I
Fade out
He
Fades in
I
am alone
With my flaws
I reach out in all directions
Reaching for a base
I find nothing solid but the spot I stand
I look upward and forwards
The answers reveal themselves
One at a time
Slowly
As my soul burns

Let's see how I write

Lets see how I write
If my thoughts aren't straight thought
When my mind is off
in many directions

Let's see how I write
When I'm tired and bored
When I'm all alone
save for a small human connection

Let's see how I write
if when I close my eyes I wonder
will I open them again?
Or will I fall asleep

I think I write splendid
Low on sleep
High on boredom
What do you think?

When I look in the mirror

When I look into the mirror
I see a collection
A walking album
Of a life
Still growing

When I look into the mirror
I see a person
Shaped by time and influence
From
God
Parents
Friends

When I look into the mirror
I see a man who escaped
To broaden his horizons
To live life his way

When I look into the mirror
I see myself
And everything I have done
And everything I am
And everything I have yet to do

How can I go on?

How can I go on?
Not sharing a word
Not sharing a thought
How can I go on?
Without your smile
Without your touch
How can I go on?
Missing your mind
Missing your company
How can I go on?
When you are my going on.
