Can I fall asleep beside you
Wrapped inside your arms?
Can I listen to your breathing
as it soothes me like a charm?
Can I sit facing you
With your blue eyes piercing mine?
Can I swim into that ocean
Where everything is fine?
Can I hear your voice whisper
Babe Go Back to Bed?
Can I feel your hand move mine
Where it desires me to tread?
Can I stop the world a moment
And suspend time with you here?
Can I love you for eternity
and see you without tears?

Hope has died
Buried alive
Under dirt
And rock
And debris
No turning back
No what may come
No future of possibility
Bared jagged soul
Laid opened wide
In pieces
On my floor
Bleeding
Writhing
Horrid pain
No knock upon my door
Left alone
Grief to bear
Reality to face
Bruised heart
Time can't heal
the memories I trace
Beauty marred
Perspective false
Air that I can't breathe
Story unfolded
I couldn't rewrite
The end where you leave

Beautiful Ghost

You look right through me
And still see her face
You walk right past me
in another dimension of space
Beautiful Ghost
My Beautiful Ghost
You move in and out and over
never quite real to the touch
always just out of reach
though I love you so much
You'll never move forward
while you're turning away
trapped within her memory
nowhere home to stay
My love is not enough
to bring you into this realm
you have to want to let her go
and be born of this earth again
Beautiful Ghost
My Beautiful Ghost
Half dead and tripping
Beautiful Ghost
Half alive and slipping
Beautiful Ghost
I can't rescue you
Beautiful Ghost
She's killing me too
Goodbye then to my ghost
how I loved your haunted song
But its time to let you go
Back where you belong...
