Jar Of Souls There goes another one, it slowly slips away, It got lost like so many before, it simply lost it's way. You pulled it from it's path, with your whispers and your taunts, Spiteful comments hovered, it's fragile nature haunt. Misleading so many, with your spiteful little words, You must be more gentle, as if you held a bird. So I go around watching, with my jar full of souls, To rescue those damaged, so they can achieve their goals. Then when they are ready, I'll set each one free, They've learnt not to listen, to just simply be. But usually I find that, many souls return, Words of kindness and care, is what they really yearn. For where they have come from, they are taunted and mocked, They feel trapped within self loathing, in their twisted logic locked. So I scoop them up gently, while they unleash their broken cries, I whisper to them tenderly, and tell them it's all lies. So until the day comes, where we speak love and not hate, I must collect those lost souls, it is my fate. So I beg dear child, think before you speak, Each one of you is beautiful, wonderfully unique. ©

Starlight Take my hand my love, I'll keep you safe from harm, Relax tonight beside me, there's no need for alarm. Forget all of your sorrows and wipe away those tears, I'll protect you, from all your deepest fears. Walk through the door, I'll be there by your side, Tonight will be a journey, one truly magical ride. Lie down beside me and stare up at the sky, If you really wish hard enough, we might even fly. Gaze up at the wonders, mysteries untold, As together we watch, our future unfold. And if we should happen, to see a shooting star, Wish on it my sweetheart, it's really not that far. So lie back and enjoy this simply wondrous night, Because tonight my darling, we are bathed in starlight. ©

If I Were A Butterfly If I were a butterfly I'd jump and fly away, Nowhere would I remain, if i didn't want to stay. I'd float around aimlessly and try to be at peace, Maybe then all the pain I feel, would eventually cease. I'd spend my #life as I want, free, to do as I please, I'd lie back and be carried by the north-westerly breeze. But society would catch me, ensnare me with it's net, Woven of lies, deceit and hate, sprayed down with a sense of threat. They'd pin me down, and trap me, lock me in my case, So they can check and make sure that, I don't step a foot out of place. They'd use me, abuse me, take what the need, All to fulfill their never ending greed. I'd be forced to listen, as they spit their venomous words, Scoffing at my ideas, saying 'peace' is absurd. But if I were a butterfly I'd jump and fly away, Because at the end of it all, I couldn't care less what society says. ©

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back I have to let go of this boy that exist only in my dreams, In reality he's not quite the same, he's not all that he seems. He may be cute and funny, but I don't feel a spark, So I just can't understand how he still holds my heart. Every night on a new adventure the two of us embark, A romantic trip to Paris, a stroll in Central park. I try to move on, but my heart holds me back, Every night as I sleep my will becomes slack. When I wake I do find that my chest feels quite empty, As images of what might be fill my mind a plenty. I wish for this boy I've created in my head, The thought of the two of us rips my heart to shreds. Why can't the real boy be the same as in my dreams, Whenever I meet up with him, his smile simply beams. But in real #life, I must leave my dream world far behind, Because I'm sure in reality, I never even cross his mind. ©

Not A Day Passes Where I Don't Think Of You Your always there lurking, a shadow to my thoughts, Instead of inspiration, it's memories of you that are brought. I try to put on a brave face and my most realistic smile, While inside my feelings for you, are stacking up in piles. I wake up every day and wipe away my frown, But once I'm alone again my smile turns upside down. I try to stop the painful tears, that tumble down my cheeks, I yearn for you every day but since I've seen you, it's been weeks. Not a single day goes by, that I don't think of you, But inside I know that, you haven't got a clue. I always try to meet up without my family catching on, But as I put my plan to action something always goes wrong. There this one song that breaks me whenever it comes on, I find to the lyrics I am always drawn. It kills me because I know, that every lyric rings true, But I know that they won't mean, the same thing to you. All my efforts, seem to have gone in vain, I even went to Thorpe park in the freezing rain. But God must have other plans, got someone else saved for me, Because even after everything, to your heart I do not hold the key. ©
