To Jerry...

The stars seemed a little less exciting
A little less brighter to me
The days seemed longer
My heart seemed to have lost reason to beat
My eyes were more lonelier...
Lost and fearful

My wrists were a battleground
The war had already been had
There was no winner.
Just losers.
A bloody massacre meets a razorblade finish.
I took the silence of the stares
And died a little more inside...

There I stood
On the edge of safety
Ready to jump into the darkness
Leaving everything I had behind
I cast away my heart
Too heavy a heart for a young boy to bare on his own...

I felt so lost.
So helpless...
Until you came into my life
I felt a sense of completion when I looked into your eyes
But never thought much of it.
Never thought much of it....
Until now.

I stepped away from the edge
Decided to give everything one more try,
To see where my heart lead me

Your eyes sent my heart into a flutter
Immediately I fell fast.
I felt as if I were headed for a let down
Fighting for something that would never come to be reality

I dared to say those three words
Expecting to be let down once again.
But found myself in your arms.
I found you in my dreams,
Holding me ever so gently.
I woke to find you gone.
But knew you weren't far.

Anywhere you go
Let me go too...
That's what you'd sing to me in my dreams...

And now I find myself in hopes someday
We'll find a way to be together
Someday I'll be able to hold you in my arms
Kiss your lips of candied flavor
And fall into your words of sweet tender meaning.
