My Heart and Hope

My heart lay battered and beaten
by your reckless love, sometimes
I feel like it was all a lie and if so
I feel I could just about die.

Visions of you and me together
I thought we could never be
severed, but I guess I was wrong.

It don't take long, in just
one blink you were gone
and you left me and my
broken heart all alone.

Hope is the reason I was making
it through but today I felt like
no hope is true, as I stood outside
the wind blew and I felt my love
for you staying strong and true.

Hope is what dreams are made of
without that, I don't know why but
you just feel like you could die.

Your love to me is my hope when
you took it away my heart
shattered and started to wither.

Along with my heart went my mind,
still so gullible and trying, my love
for you never dying and all I felt
like doing was crying.

I never before knew a love so true
before I met you, I didn't know
what to do, you gave me hope for
life and peace of mind thinking
of our love so stable and true.

Right now my heart wants to burst
because it feels so much hurt, the
heart is a sensitive thing and it is
easy to cause it a whole lot of pain.

Have you ever been able to feel
someone's soul, I just want you to
know, I used to feel your soul and all I
could feel was warmth and security.

You just walked through that open door
and into my heart and there you ignited
a flame, one that burns so bright it could
see us through the darkest night.

But to truly love is to trust that
persons flame because you will
see some dark times but just trust
the heart and you will find your way.

I don't think that you trusted the
flame you lit your self enough, to
you it was just to tough but all it
was is you didn't trust enough.

When those three BIG words are
spoke it feels like I'm on dope cause
you are my heart and my hope.

A Complicated World

Life used to be so simple now
everything is judged and all I can see
is an even more complicated world.

Human reasoning is no longer sane
and it causes so much pain the
feelings of a child so simple and free
but only now do I start to see why the
world is such a complicated place.

Lies turn to truth because that is all that
is told, lies come at u from everywhere
and it causes so much despair, if the
world could just spare such complication.

It's not easy to see but if you
could you would say that this
sure is a complicated place.

When you told me good-bye inside
I felt my heart start to cry and my
complicated world started to thrive.

It takes but a few seconds for a heart to
break like a 9.0 earthquake, then the hot
magma of a complicated world flows over.

Although I never told you so I knew
you could see it in my eyes but if
you couldn't then I'm glad we said good-bye.

At least I've had some simplicity in my
life, the simplest and most sane thing
I ever did was love you and now I return
into the darkness of my complicated world.
