Clean

So tell me no, and kill me.
Put this gun against my head.
I wasn't something that you wanted,
Now I'll be something that is dead.

But don't think that you can hide me.
I won't stay buried in this ground.
I'll assure you that they'll find me,
I won't let you keep me down.

So put away your sword now, soldier.
Live to die another day.
I might be something you want broken,
But in your mind, I can't decay.

So move on forward now, my fighter.
Just pretend I never came.
Kiss me softly on the cheek,
And watch me walk away.

Avoid the blood and all the violence.
Let them see your hands are clean.
For though mine are forever dirty,
Leave the guilt in it to me.

Let yourself go, and be free..
The only tragedy was me.

One

One choice, one voice, one symphony.
I'm not the one you want,
But you belong to me.

One heart, one part, one place to start.
You swear you loved me once,
But you broke my heart.

One time, one crime, one unseemly rime.
I thought you went away,
But you still rule my mind.

One call, one fall, one can't have it all.
You answer me,
But you don't care at all.

One minute now
One message sent
One tear alone
One empty sent
One cold dry hand
One stands alone...

I still can't seem
To let you go.

Ten more days.

Just give me ten more questions.
Ten more questions is all I need.
I'm not scared of what your asking.
I'm just scared of where they'll lead.

I can give you ten more answers.
Ten more answers might be wrong.
I cannot give you what your looking for
I think you've known that all along.

Give me ten more reasons.
Ten more reasons not to leave.
You were all I ever wanted,
But I can't be all you need.

Give me patience,
Give me kindness,
Give me love,
And give me ease.

What you give me is not the problem,
The problem here is me.

I give excuses,
I give refuge,
I give fear,
And I give pain.

But your holding me so tightly...
I just don't want to run away.
I just wish that I could stay.

Ten more minutes,
Ten more hours,
Ten more seconds,
Ten more days.

2 Little Houses

2 little houses
Sit alone atop the ridge.
I think that one belongs to me,
The other one is his.

2 little people
Walk together side by side.
No distance in-between them.
We match stride for stride.

2 little song birds
Hum a tune so soft and pure.
Their pitch is oh so perfect,
Our melody is pure.

2 little hands
Clasp together very tight.
There will be no letting go now,
We'll hold on with all our might.

2 little oceans
Spreading vast and far and wide.
They turn distance into decades.
We must cross them every time.

2 little minds
Cross the oceans cross the skies.
Like the song birds melody
Meeting clearly every time.

2 little houses
Though together, far apart.
Dreaming someday to be closer.
Hoping soon that day will start.
