Fighting Love

Why do you make me feel like I hate you when I don't
Why do you play these games with my mind and pull a front
Each time I try to pull you close, I'm drawn further away
Sometimes I wonder if it's worth the stress, if I should stay

I'm tryin to make decisions because the future looks blurry
Don't want to make mistakes, so I'm no longer in a hurry
I want to take things slow, so make your mind up, let me know
Because we do not know where we will both be tomorrow

We've spent some years together, and we've been through stormy weathers
We promised to each other that we'd be as one forever
So why the act of coldness, are you trying to let it wither
'Cause when I try to forget you, my love for you just gets deeper

Patience

Now I must learn to be patient
And let God do his maintenance
On my heart and that of yours too
Until we both have made it through

I must maintain silence for now
Give one some time to think, allow
The matters of the heart to heal
And be gentle with how you feel

I must be calm, patiently wait
For however long it might take
I cannot afford to frustrate
A delicate time, or it breaks

They say patience is a virtue
I must apply it, wait for you
So peacefully, calmly, I'll be
Patiently waiting, just for thee

Xavier

She makes me crawl, like a beggar on the sidewalk
A smile in my heart, even when we have the small talk
She makes me feel like I'm not a man without her
In my mind I hear the sarcasm of distant laughters

So on I walk, with my head under a dark cloud
I hide in shame, without her I can not feel proud
She burns my emotions like a house that's on fire
Raging with passion, brings me lower, takes me higher

So is this love or another infatuation
The thoughts of her linger in my meditations
Just like a virus spreading in my conversations
She makes me hunger for her love in deep frustration

She makes me feel like i cannot live without her
Like if she is not there, my life is a disaster
So am I in limbo, or is this just an illusion?
She will not ever set me free from this confusion

Her absence makes me feel alone and paranoid
And when she is gone, my heart is left with a dark void
She says that we bring out the worst out of each other
She makes me feel that for me, there is no other

And through this turmoil I forget that I'm a young man
That I have the strength to forget her in an instance
Can I break free from the chains she's put around me?
Oh sweet Xavier, she's my bliss and my misery

Fool For You

You know I'd search the world for you
Travel galaxies to find you
Wait till my life ends just for you
Because I'm such a fool for you

You know I'd change my world around
Maintain silence, utter no sound
I'd save all my love just for you
Because I'm such a fool for you

You know my heart, you know my soul
You know for you, how far I'd go
Run miles on ends to rescue you
Because I'm such a fool for you

You know my love will take them blame
My love for you does not feel shame
For I feel pride and joy for you
Because I'm such a fool for you

You know by the seashore I'd wait
For you, though you might turn up late
or not at all, I'd wait for you
Because I'm such a fool for you

My Letter

I know that I do not deserve
A thing from you, because it serves
Me right because of what I did
I ought to pay hard for my deeds

But please remember, I'm human
I made mistakes, I'm but a man
And while we're here, both you and I
Let us both use the chance to try

And work things out, So please forgive
me for my sins, because I grieve
For the loss of what's important
The love I had, because I can't

And won't go back to how I was
I'm changing all my ways because
I want to be a better man
And for you do all that I can

To show you that people do change
And so have I, it might feel strange
To see me act without those crimes
But we will both heal well, with time

My words are all I have, but true
Until I have the chance to do
The right things, give me the chance to
Show and prove my deep love for you

Lonely Nights

Every night I sit and I hope
Seconds feel like years, hard to cope
And I'm reminded of my sins
As moments pass, tears fall, waiting

So here tonight, I sit and wait
Thinking deeply about my fate
If I'm destined to stay alone
Pay for my past until I'm gone

Midnight draws close, I shut my eyes
Go to my bed, on it I lie
My face stays calm, but my heart weeps
Until I cry myself to sleep

Passionate Kiss

So passionate, was our first kiss
That left my soul in utter bliss
So tender, gentle, were your lips
So intriguing, like an eclipse
So captivated by your eyes
Searching my soul for all that lies
Deep down inside, I surely miss
Our first ever passionate kiss

Tired

I'm tired of pushing people away from me.
I'm tired of losing good friends.
I'm tired of people avoiding me.
I'm tired of being alone.

Shameful Brothers

I watch you make fools of yourselves
Ending up dead, lost or in cells
You sicken me with your actions
You act like your sanity's gone

What makes you think that you are hot
The jewellery, girls and the lot
Are only temporary things
You stain your soul with all this sin

You make me want to turn my back
On you because you make us slack
You stop us from moving forward
You are not tough, you're a coward

You need to stop, step back and think
Realize your deeds make you stink
On the inside, so clean your soul
Decide which path you're going to go

Cogitative Wanderer

Through motions of the wind I move
The songs of demons were my grove
The spinning has stopped, here I sit
Contemplating the end. Is it

My purpose here to show the way
One should not go, and turn away?
Am I here to endure these tests
Until my body lays to rest?

How much longer is there to go?
I lack the power to oppose
The aura of depression's gloom
As it fills my soul, I'm consumed

Time rushes by, so silently
Still moving in the dark blindly
Meditating and pondering
Searching for answers, wandering

Learning

So many things to learn about
Myself, to keep from being a tout
So much advice to adhere to
And apply in the things I do
Less talking and more listening
Words of such wisdom seeping in
And slowly changing the way I
Think about life, before I die

Hide From You

The things I would do for you
Now I'm hiding away from you
Wait till ends of eternity
Walk paths of pain,severity

Silence constantly by my side
and so from you my love I hide
If I say I don't care, I've lied,
my love for you I've tried to hide

A mask I wear, a sleek disguise
Removed emotions from my eyes
You won't know if I'm mersmerised
For what I feel for you, I hide
