Imagine
Imagine for a moment
That your life was just a dream
The illusion is shattering
Reality tearing it at the seams
Imagine if it were you
Lying on the street
No-one to turn to
No place to sleep
Imagine walking down the street
An old man grabs his chest
Draws that last breath
Nobody can save him
Though they try their best
Imagine the world was ending
And you'd left things unsaid
Things that plague your head
Your heart would feel so empty
You'd be all alone
So remember that now is your only chance
To express how it is that you feel
So don't be afraid of those things inside
Sometimes it's harder to hide
Imagine if it all ended today
And you hadn't had your say
Or done it your own way?
My heart
Tears for loved ones I have wept
In other people's beds I have slept
But that special one I haven't met
Hope in my heart still is kept
Maybe one day they'll come along
be the timing right or wrong
I think I'll know from the start
If they are the one who can have my heart
Past The Age Of Innocence
Every smile tinged with sadness
That passing glance full of badness
That masked smile lingering for a while
With a sense of glad hidden behind
That's where I am right now
Mixed emotions fill me
Making me full somehow
Must be a sign somewhere in there
A sense of completion
The age of innocence has gone by
Not sure when, not sure why
Would I go back?
I wouldn't try
Laughter
Laugh a minute
That it wasn’t
But the laughter
Show a good time
Was what we had
Maybe we argued
Along the way
But look at us now
Still friends today
Lets remember the fun
That we shared
Remember always
We only argued
Because we cared
Where Next?
This is the beginning
Not the end
Now is the time
You’ll become my friend
What we had before
Wouldn’t have lasted
That is for sure
It was just a fad
A passing phase
It was good fun
Never anything bad
And I am glad of
Those times we had
But now let’s move on
To something else
Forever friends
Could we ask for more?
Birds
Three birds go flying by
Never stopping
Nor asking why
Caught up in their own path
Wonder how long that will last?
Blurring
Since we started blurring
My heards been turning
Through the throughts a whirring
Hidden feelings now are stirring
For whom my heart was yearning
Are you the one to get me burning?
Or simply someone from whom I'm spurning?
Shine
Though it's dark, the sky is still blue
Something inside tells me
That we have lost you
The man in that moon
Must be smiling on down
For he's no longer alone
Has no reason left to frown
Up to those heavens
That is where you have gone
But you just keep on smiling
For us you never did any wrong
In our hearts somehow I know
You will always be shining on
Three From Two
Strange isn't it
How from two
Can come three
Even stranger yet
How different they can be
Products of the same pair
A connection of which
They are fully aware
Yet they take their own paths
Somehow though
They hope that bond
Will always last
Crossing Paths?
I know you won't go back
Cause I know where you've been
Like I now know who I am
And exactly what a mistake can mean
Life is a long journey to take on your own
But for now we've chosen seperates paths
I just wonder how long will that last?
Will we ever be reunited?
Or are we to live our lives divided?
We both know what we had wanted
But will our paths tie in with that wish?
Or should we simply forget it?
Say we tried but somehow missed
Proud
I may not have turned out the way you wanted
I might have said all of those things
Which you felt left you dissapointed
But I hope that I have in my own little way
Given you things to be proud of anyway
At the end of that day I just want to be me
Someone different to what you expected
But that's how life works
It twists and its turns
Doesn't mean I'm turning against what you thought
Just following the path that fate has brought.
Regrets
I know I've always said
I don't believe in regrets
But I now realise
You were the best thing
That's happened to me yet
I know what we had
Only lasted a little while
But even if I just think of you
I can't help but smile
I'm not sure exactly what it is
That I'm trying to convey
I think you've affected me
In that very special way
Although I know it is unlikely
I just wanted to know
If you've ever the same?
Or was it just case
Of filling time and space
Until you found that person
From whom your heart has a special place?

Mr will you give me all these horses

I like that Welsh mountain horse
Oh no which one will I have
Oh that falabella is nice
So is that Arab horse nice
Oh I can't make up my mind
Oh please help me choose one

Funny Moments
There have been the good
As well as the bad
Try to forget all the sad
As there were also the funny
Those moments that hurt your tummy
They override the rest
For me they were always the best
Loved all the laughter
Even if it arose from a disaster
Remember the rice?
And all those mice?
How about that time in Jacksons?
All these moments were for real
And the price was a true steal
A friendship that is the real deal
And what we have to take from that
You summarised better than I ever could
So I'll always remember what you said to me
We've had our sad moments
But you prefer the funny
They were always far funnier than the sad
And for me they make up
Some of the best moments I've ever had
Don't
You want to kiss me
I say don't
You think you'll miss me
I know you won't
All these things you say
To just get me out of the way
Need to move on
No chance for us
Not when thinking in the long run
Best to quit while ahead
The thought of an us
Needs to be put to bed
Headspin
Thoughts flying round my head
Not just when lying in bed
Do you ever have the same?
Or am I just a bit insane?
This little voice is spinning round
Speaking words so profound
Telling me all my dreams
No matter how strange it is
To others that they may seem
But for once it might be nice
To have someone real who could
Pass on some real advice
Too many options from which to choose
I need to know which will win
And which can only ever lose
What Am I?
You call me fickle
You call me fake
You think I'm one of these people
Who are always on the make
I don't give
I always take
How is it then that our friendship
Has been strong enough not to break?
Far too selfish
Far too self aware
One thing I have never done
Is show those around me any care
Also shallow
And self-centered
I wouldn't know how
I'm definitely unaware
Hurt others feelings
Think life has no meaning
Please tell me then
If there is even a reason
For us to continue?
Sometimes
Sometimes I'm up
Sometimes I'm down
Sometimes I smile
Sometimes I frown
Depends on what I've done
Depends on who I've seen
Depends if you are nice
Depends if you are mean
Sometimes I'm clever
Sometimes I'm thick
Sometimes I endeavour
Sometimes I retreat
Depends on who I'm talking to
Depends on what I say
Depends on how I'm feeling
Depends if I'm too weak
Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm sad
Sometimes I want to change
Sometimes I want to be me
Depends on those around me
Depends upon the news
Depends if I'm helpless
Depends who else I could be
Away
I wish I'd not gone away
Not for those two weeks
Not even for one day
All I wanted was to see you
How I wish I'd stayed
But I know I needed to go
Had lots of things I had to do
But I think that's when I lost you
Distance has gotten in our way
Too much has been happening
Causing the bond to weaken
I'm sorry if it was my fault
But if I had my time again
I would have stayed
It was far too early
For a blossoming relationship
To withstand the strain
Spoiled
Spoiled is what you called me
Spoiled by what you said
Spoiled by what you did
Spoiled is how you left me
Crying and scared in my bed
Spoiled is how I am
Nowadays in my head
Spoiled for the future
Spoiled by my past
Don't know how much longer
Your spoiling me will last
What I Wanted
I'm sorry but I just have to say
That I never wanted it this way
I thought that I was in love
I thought you were sent from above
But now it appears so clear to me
That is only how I wanted it to be
I wanted so much to feel like that
That when I knew you liked me
I thought I liked you back
But now it has become so clear
That even though I like you near
It wasn't with you I was in love
I had only ever fallen for the idea
I'm sorry to have messed you around
I hope that your heart has not been broken
Although some words are best unsaid
I thought these ones should be spoken
A Year Ago Today
It was a year ago today
We went our seperate ways
Strange now to think
That there could have been
A you and a me
The way we are now
Seems more natural somehow
It wasn't meant to be
But without that little fling
We would never have seen
The potential in each other
To be friends and not lovers
Life
What is the point in life?
We seem to live just to die
Have you never wondered why?
But who is there to ask?
What would it achieve?
Maybe we're best not knowing
Perhaps it is a relief
Lots of bad things in the world
But at least it is still spinning
Our lives are going on
In all different directions
Perhaps knowing the reasoning
Would take away the seasoning
Spice of life is important
To relieve our boredom
So please just accept everyone
And let our lives keep going on
Although we know no reason why
All we can do if live and try
Bombs
For the first time in my life
My body stopped due to shock
When I heard about the bombs
My heart didn't want to tick tock
All I could really think about
Was all of my close friends
Who I could have lost
All the things I'd never said
To those who make me happy
Luckily for us we have another day
To say those things we need to say
But it could all too easily
Have gone the other way
