"What You Do To Me"

There's always that one person you shouldn't want but you know you can't stop wanting them. You light up remembering the good times when you see them but the times when they made you sad linger in the shadows of your mind. You refuse to let them over power the good times. The good outweighs the bad but in the end, sometimes God is even trying to pull us away from the things we're trying to hang onto most....

Why can't I
Say goodbye.
Though I cry
Stay tonight.

Blessed be
You might see
Truthfully
Knowing me.

Can't believe
You and me
Thought we'd be
Everlasting.

Break my hand
A love unplanned.
Partly my
Lucid cry.

Never send
Unwanted end.
Pushing you
To see it's true.

Letting go
Won't let it show.
Recalling why
How I'd try.

Cold winter eve
Clouds haunting me.
Black as dawn
Soon rising sun.

Pleasure strive
Kiss goodbye.
Static shriek
Blind to speak.

Rose in hand
So unplanned.
Accept success
Nothing less.

Try to see
What's happened to me.
Though I've tried
To pass you by.

Such a thrill
Can never hold still.
Remain inside
My thoughts tonight.

Hold you close
Winds arose.
Please, please
What you do to me.

"The Girl Before"

Growing up is never easy. We realize that so many years have passed and that we soon are thinking about lifetime careers. But as one chapter in our lives closes, another begins...


I am not
the girl next door.
I can't go on
Like I have before.

I've been a fool
I can't explain.
Taken the time
To work and grind.

I can't believe
My past holds on.
I lived to dance
As I sang t'ill dawn.

It's a deal worth breaking
No risk for the taking.
A toxic touch you bring
Make my lucid memory sting.

No longer a princess
No daddy's little girl.
Got to claim what's mine
Show I can make it just fine.

Never turn out
The way I wanted.
But here's the chance
To take what you taunted.

No such luck
No place to run.
Each way I turn
Recalls mistakes I've done.

Make me see past
Terrors played out.
My minds blinded sight
Soon skies evermore ignite.
