Untitled Day Dreams (7/27/2007)

My mind is fogged, thoughts cloud up, and everything is hazy
Imagination runs away and I pray it won’t betray me
But day dreams never killed someone so I let the pictures grow
Hanging on what I won’t have, that’s just the way things go
Your smile is so perfect, yet mine is cracked and broken
You appear so optimistic and I’m down and feeling hopeless
The spirit of your aura is enough to leave me speechless
I’ve bit my tongue a hundred times, this fear is such a weakness
But through pity and the bleakness, I’m left so captivated
I stare into my mind once more to see you there still waiting
Every ounce of hatred dissipates, I feel it waining
Every thing I want to be’s in the picture that you’ve painted

I really can’t explain it, though I honestly don’t care
Her eyes and lips and sweetest glance leave me in this stare
The innocence and beauty contained inside her portrait
Have knocked me to my knees, to her beauty I would forfeit
Cause the anger that I’ve fought with, has never made me feel this
It’s never there to give me hope nor ever leave me fearless
But one more look could stop a beat and send me only skyward
I never take the worthwhile risks, but, for this, I know that I would
I’d fight the world for hours, I’d walk forgotten paths
I’d take one step right forward and leave behind the past
No risk is never worth it, if only just to see her
The name that’s etched behind my lips, my dearest, darling…
