My hands are empty
My mind is full
I'm falling to pieces
Now I'm without you
Had we never met
I'd be content to be
So alone
Now alone is lonely
When this is what I've known
Every time I laugh
I think of the times
I've cried missing you
And with every hurt
Every pain I face alone
I remember your touch
And every smile we shared
I could have gone on
Not knowing it was possible
To have a love like I felt
But it's getting harder to survive
Not knowing if this
Could be real.

A Young Girl's Tears: Aug. 16, 2005
I cry over you
And that's a silly thing to do.
My heart breaks
And I wonder
How many times must I say,
I love you,
Until you appear by my side.
In a dream it's not too far,
In my heart
I'm where you are.
I try to stop
Thoughts of you
From entering in,
But you've left a mark
On this heart of mine.
I can't forget you,
I don't want to miss you,
I cry and I'm alone.
This is a silly thing
I know.
And that's a silly thing to do.
My heart breaks
And I wonder
How many times must I say,
I love you,
Until you appear by my side.
In a dream it's not too far,
In my heart
I'm where you are.
I try to stop
Thoughts of you
From entering in,
But you've left a mark
On this heart of mine.
I can't forget you,
I don't want to miss you,
I cry and I'm alone.
This is a silly thing
I know.
With All of My Heart: Aug. 16, 2005
I start to think of you
And I get carried away
I try not to dream of you
But I do it everyday.
Life is hard enough
Without you on my mind.
Ever since the day I left you
I'm starting to find
That some dreams are real
But none can ever last.
You were what I always hoped for
And now you're just in my past.
There's a prayer I say,
There's a thought I can't push away,
That one day I will see you again
And that maybe
Just maybe
For all that we know
There could be something to this
Other than a childish dream.
And I get carried away
I try not to dream of you
But I do it everyday.
Life is hard enough
Without you on my mind.
Ever since the day I left you

You were what I always hoped for
And now you're just in my past.

That one day I will see you again
And that maybe
Just maybe
For all that we know
There could be something to this
Other than a childish dream.

There was a time
When seeing you with her
Would have made me cry.
There was a time when
I thought I could only love you.
I wanted nothing more than to spend
The rest of my life
In your arms.
Once, I trembled with fear
When I thought I would lose you.
It used to be,
I walked in a dream without you.
There was a time I never could have imagined
That we would be two separate things.
You were a man in my eyes.
There was I time
I would have sworn I could never see you
As I do now.
But when I look at him
With love, I know
I have been wrong many times.

Angels Dance
(originally wrote this to be a "song" and a central part to a story. may still write that story, but for now here is this..."blurb"...)
Where angels dance in the sky
I still see you standing by
Your face is so near
Centuries could pass
Before I stopped loving you.
Where the angels dance
There you are
Forever with me
In my heart, in the sky
In my dreams I see you fly
High above these storms clouds
Out of my view
To where angels dance
And love is forever young
In your innocent eyes.

She's Beautiful: Sept. 21, 2004
(2004 must have been an inspirational year for me...lol)
(this is supposed to be a song...) (funny thing is i have a "music video" in my head for it...)
She is beautiful to him
She is all he's ever dreamed of
There's no reason why
He shouldn't love her
No way he could love another
This way
(Chorus)
She's beautiful to him
She is everything he could ever ask for
He shays she's more than they
Give her credit for
She's his life
She's his world
She has the power to break his heart
But she never would
She's beautiful to him
And his love will carry her higher
Than she's ever been
She knows she's worth something
As long as she's beautiful to him
She sits in the corner and cries
Lovely eyes stained with tears of pain
The whole world just walks on by
None seem to hear her prayers tonight
But if she opened her eyes
She'd she him reaching out to her
If she only knew
(repeat chorus)
One last dance
Take a chance
To turn your life around
Give it up
Get some more
Tears and smiles
It's all a part of life
But wherever she goes
In his eyes she'll always be
(chorus...)
Solemn promises
Always broken
One more life lost
Another heart broke
No way to run from the pain
You hold your breath but you've gotta keep breathing
One more life
What's it to the world?
But she's his life
And all he's living for
She's beautiful
(the progression in my mind was of a father and a new baby girl, then the girl growing up and feeling unloved, then getting married, and in the end her funeral and her son losing her but having his own baby girl)

Unknown But Interesting
(Don't know WHAT this is...just found it and thought it was kind of neat...by the handwriting I can tell it's from a loooong time ago...)
There is a little house built by the sea,
It is a very peaceful place to be.
Listen carefully and hear the water roaring,
Look out the window and watch the birds soaring.
The wind whistles and leaves dance,
A beautiful unicorn begins to prance
Around a fountain of water so clear,
This place is ever so queer.
Find a shady tree, and take off your cap,
It's time to lay down and take a nap.
Let the wind lull you to sleep,
Oh please never let it be time to wake up from this dream.

Simple Thoughts 1
(various short lines I wrote randomly...)
The little things at times
Can seem so big
And the things we know are huge
Can feel so small
Compared to
All we have now.
___________________________________
Closer and closer I'm coming to You
Farther and farther I fall into You
And I still don't know where I am
But You're here
And I'm closer somehow
Than I've ever been
To You.

(as i browse my writing journals, etc, i'll find more short thoughts and blurbs i'm sure i'll put here.)

I hear You calling in a dream
Pulling me to the place
Where I'm supposed to be
What do I do from here Lord?
I am blind
And cannot see the path
Laid out for me.
Lead me there
Carry me all the way up the mountains
Hold me through the storms
Give me strength when I am weary
Wisdom when I don't know
And vision so I can see
Where it is You need me.
Lead me there
By Your revolutionizing grace
Show the way with Your majesty
Call to me when I am sleeping
Wake me so I can find
The place You want to take me.
(Some prayers never change. :) )

Holding on to nothing
Praying we can make something
Out of something I found
Nothing in but this
Holding on to hope
That what is is not
And what we dream will be
I'm still holding onto nothing
As long as there's no you and me
I thought that things would change
The past would be erased
But I guess I was wrong
Sometimes I thought that you would
Be with me still today
It just goes to show sometimes scars heal
Faster than your words
(Disclaimer: don't even remember what I wrote this for/about...lol. It's not my best...but this blog isn't for showing perfect pieces of literature)

Welcome to my second blog, Mightier Than the Sword, the companion to Phred Said/The Way I See It. This blog is soully for my writing escapades and projects.
