			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The earthen despair that lies to us all<br />
A quick death that we all know<br />
Amongst the fog everything is darkened<br />
It billows through trying to find a soul scared</p>
<p>A soul scared to feel and love<br />
But yet it so desires<br />
Time will deliver the sentence of death<br />
Alone, all alone with a chilling breath</p>
<p>I search scared that I might not find<br />
One to love me the way I would love<br />
A soul to cry with, sleep with, and confide in pain<br />
Where there will be no shame to be the one that I am</p>

<p><strong>The Earthen Despair</strong></p>
<p>The earthen despair that lies to us all<br />
A quick death that we all know<br />
Amongst the fog everything is darkened<br />
It billows through trying to find a soul scared</p>
<p>A soul scared to feel and love<br />
But yet it so desires<br />
Time will deliver the sentence of death<br />
Alone, all alone with a chilling breath</p>
<p>I search scared that I might not find<br />
One to love me the way I would love<br />
A soul to cry with, sleep with, and confide in pain<br />
Where there with be no shame to be the one I am</p>
<p><strong>The Eye of the Storm</strong></p>
<p>The Eye of the Storm<br />
Echoes in and out of my mind<br />
When will I find<br />
time to write the story of my life</p>
<p>I am told<br />
That my life will unfold<br />
But will I ever break the mold<br />
From the lies that I have told?</p>
<p>I live in lies that I have made<br />
Which I am forced to hide among<br />
Afraid to feel, afraid to show my true feelings<br />
For I am scared of my fears</p>
<p>Why does my soul feel so barren<br />
When I stand here with you<br />
Distant skies will never bring me close to you</p>
<p>When will I begin to prevail in these times<br />
The anchor holds me down so I can’t breathe<br />
Life grows dimmer till I can’t find<br />
The light in front of my face</p>
<p><strong>Beautiful to Me</strong></p>
<p>You are so beautiful to me<br />
For all the times I try to be free<br />
I can’t seem to let you go<br />
Is it you or me that is afraid?</p>
<p>There are times when I can still feel your breath on my face<br />
At times its like you never left<br />
The scars that I put up with<br />
And all the pieces you left me I will never put back together</p>
<p>Cause of the moments you left me I will never live, my life without you<br />
My soul will never hurt the same again<br />
I will never live my life a moment without you<br />
Even though you are no where to be found</p>
<p>The sound of your voice in my head will never leave</p>
<p><strong>Shattered</strong></p>
<p>This sacrifice is never good enough<br />
Where do I run and hide to feed the rush<br />
I can see you even when I shut my eyes<br />
Lives flash by unable to bring me down</p>
<p>My life shattered from the pain<br />
You broke me open to share it all</p>
<p>I shy away from the truth I have known<br />
Lies thrown around to make me look bad<br />
Hearts shattered from a life not ready to live<br />
Eyes broken like glass from thoughts perceived</p>
<p>Why can’t I hear when people speak<br />
I feel I can’t move with all this room<br />
Why do I feel closed up<br />
With no place to feel</p>
<p>My life is open for all to see<br />
There are times when I should<br />
Wear my heart on my sleeve<br />
I’m scared to be known by all of you</p>
<p>Tell me why I should prove anything to you<br />
What have you done to earn a place in my life<br />
Did I ask you to care so much<br />
Bout the life I lead</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have been looking some through some of my old poetry that I have written. I will be posting more over the next month or so.</p>
<p><em><strong>Dreams:</strong></em></p>
<p>I want to live my life as I did before<br />
I still wait for you to walk through the door<br />
And hear your footsteps on the floor above<br />
Take me away, take me far away</p>
<p>Take me to a place that is familiar<br />
My life fades from grey to black in this technicolor dream<br />
Its hard to see the light when its so dark<br />
Bring my life back, bring it back</p>
<p>I walk away but only to look back<br />
To see if you’re there but you are a shadow in my mind<br />
It hurts inside to know you’re away, away from me<br />
A memory Is all I have of what you used to be</p>
<p>I look over the horizon and know that times are different<br />
With each new day, I will have to face things I am not ready to face</p>
<p>It is true what I dream to be a reality, a fleeting moment that flashes in my mind<br />
I look at pictures and I wish it were you<br />
Is there a way to bring it all back, only to have it happen again<br />
This is my selfish desire breaking its way through</p>
<p>But it is you who has gained, me that has lost<br />
Lost in a world without you, a cold desolate place this world can be<br />
I know where to find refuge but it takes time to heal a wound</p>
<p>A wound so deep that only you can touch</p>
<p><em><strong>Shades of Beauty:</strong></em></p>
<p>You have shades of beauty I have never seen<br />
I look into your eyes and see something beautiful<br />
it is like a sunset silhouetted against the evening sky<br />
that can not even compare to the beauty that you hold<br />
these  shades of beauty can only be seen in you</p>
<p>These shades of beauty that you have is among your heart as well<br />
your skin is like the petals of a rose<br />
your shades of beauty I will never forget<br />
I will always hold them with me at a special place</p>
<p><em><strong>Shattered: </strong></em></p>
<p>This sacrifice is never good enough<br />
Where do I run and hide to feed the rush<br />
I can see you even when I shut my eyes<br />
Lives flash by unable to bring me down</p>
<p>My life shattered from the pain<br />
You broke me open to share it all</p>
<p>I shy away from the truth I have known<br />
Lies thrown around to make me look bad<br />
Hearts shattered from a life not ready to live<br />
Eyes broken like glass from thoughts perceived</p>
<p>Why can’t I hear when people speak<br />
I feel like I can’t move with all this room<br />
Why do I feel closed up<br />
With no place to feel</p>
<p>My life is open for all to see<br />
There are times when I should<br />
Wear my heart on my sleeve<br />
I’m scared to be known by all of you</p>
<p>Tell my why I should prove anything to you<br />
What have you done to earn a place in my life<br />
Did I ask you do care so much<br />
Bout the life I lead</p>
