Caught in Amber

I’ve been staring at your picture

I’ve been walking Memory Lane

Trying hard to just feel something

And a way to keep me sane

I’ve been crawling under rainbows

All alone inside this crowd

I’ve forsaken silver linings

For the darkness of these clouds

I’ve been numb and I’ve been lifeless

I’ve been trying to believe

That there is some rhyme or reason

Why we live and why we grieve

I’ve been too long being lonely

I’ve got one more row to hoe

Searching for some sort of meaning

Until it’s time for me to go

I’ve been hiding my emotions

I’ve forgotten how to cry

With a pain that was my birthright

That will haunt me ‘til I die

I just need to find some comfort

Wishing that I had a friend

All alone from the beginning

So much closer to the end

Mile Marker

I’m waiting here impatiently

For a message or a sign

To give my life a purpose

Or find some peace of mind

A sleepless, stoned sleepwalker

Awake, but in a dream

Where rhymes flow without reason

And nothing’s as it seems

From fairy tales to Angel Dust

To where I stand today

Memories and lovers lost

There’s not much left to say

All the trips and journeys

I’ve taken on this ride

Have left me stripped and naked

With nothing left to hide

I’ve never been so lonely

I’ve never felt this cold

Searching for some missing pieces

None the wiser, growing old
