Dear My Friend
(Written for Jen)



Dear My Friend,
Recently, I found that a heart was broken.
Could it be yours that was left to suffer on the floor?

And what in life brought you to this point?

Pick the pieces up of a scattered life and glue
them back together until slowly they fit.

Feelings of rage and anger scream through your body.
Only to leave you frustrated and empty.
And you sit and weap and cry.
Wondering why?

How did you end up in this empty place?
Is this really home?
Is this really where you belong?

Have you started to sort through the memories?
Only remembering what you pick and choose.
Forgetting all the rest...what does it matter now anyway, correct?

And just when was the last time that you heard she loved you?
Is that what's gotten you so blue?

And just how are they supposed to say they're sorry?
And just how are they supposed to show they care?
And just how are they supposed to go on...
knowing everywhere you go...there they are?

Turn your head and walk away.
For I believe she's going to stay.

For my dear friend, today...I heard the news.






Wake Up!
(Also Written for Jen)

I wanted someone to fix this hurt and pain
That I feel inside and suddenly,
There you were
In front of my face
Offering up the things that I needed
To once again feel normal....
To bring me back from the broken heart that he left

And I used what you had to make me feel right
And I relied on the strength of others
To pull me through and all the while, there you were....
Holding out your hand to me,
Keeping me from falling back
Into the love that I had for the previous

And I began to feel right,
And I began to have strength
I began to move on and away from you
And left you empty-handed

Now, here we are exchanging
Angry works over a screen
Like some childish scene
And I wake up and and want to talk
And I wake up and hope for it to be all over with
And I wake up to hope that you're okay
And I wake up and realize that one-day....
I'm going to have to admit!
