ALL THESE WORDS AND NOTHING TO SAY

All these words and nothing to say.
Why did you have to go away.
All these screams with no one to hear.
Why can’t I just disappear.
All my secrets to be told.
I’ll take them to my grave when I grow old.
All this pain growing inside.
Why did you have to run and hide.
All this love I have to give.
Why can’t hearts mend, so I can live.
All this time with no one to share.
Why can’t this damn world just be fair.
All these words and nothing to say.
Why can’t these feelings for you just go away.

NEVER TO MEND

The pain I felt seeing you there.
Crushing the dreams that I thought we both had shared.
I remember praying for a joy that couldn’t be.
A dream that you refused to see.
But hearts break and dreams come to an end.
In a world that breaks when it bends.
Never to mend.

LOOKING FOR A SIGN

Outside the thunder roars and the lightning races across the darkened sky.
So why do we still beg Him to show us a sign, when it’s right in front of our eyes.
Life isn’t that big of a mystery if we just open up our hearts and believe.
All of the answers are right there waiting to be conceived.
We spend our whole lives expecting a miracle to appear.
But we don’t see it in the rain, the stars, and every single tear.
So why do we still look for a sign to show us that He is real.
When it’s in our heart, our soul, and everything we feel.

THE MAN I COULDN’T SAVE

I pray for a man I couldn’t save.
And weep above his nameless grave.
I can still see his face through my eyes.
And hear his haunted cries.
No one cared about this man because of the road he took.
So God finally closed his book.
He didn’t want their pity or their force.
But still they showed no remorse.
I hated him don’t you see.
The man I couldn’t save….Was me.
