-Sex ruins everything-
It turns love into lust,
And turns devotion into resident dust.
It turns ‘friend’ into ‘other’,
And turns the loved into the devoured lover…
Turns depths into superficials…
Diminishing human souls to mere receptables.

Verse 1:
It’s said life is a journey,
From our first day to our last,
And that when the sun’s nowhere to be found,
The darkness will soon pass.
I don’t know if there’s an answer.
A perfect ending to it all,
But I know that life without you,
Would have meant nothing at all.
Chorus:
(‘Cause) You’re my mountaintop.
There’s nowhere left to go.
When my time on Earth is up,
I hope you’ll always know,
I had nothing left to do,
No higher place to go.
‘Cause I, already had you.
Verse 2:
I hope you will forgive me,
When it’s time to say goodbye.
Life, it keeps on moving,
Under this bright blue sky.
You were not a moment.
A fleeting thought or view.
Every day was beautiful,
That I got to spend with you.
Chorus 1x
Moments fade away, and here we stand.
Time passes us by, as you hold my hand.
I will never forget your warm embrace,
And the smile that lit the world upon your face.
Chorus 1x (Repeat last line)

Life was not worth living,
But I had to live on through,
So I could travel to the day,
I got to meet you.
I can’t say it was worth it,
I can’t say it was not.
I only know you came into my life,
And I love you a lot.
Life is not all good or bad,
And it’s not a balanced load.
Yet we somehow tumble along,
To find what resembles a road.
I can’t say it’s even a road.
It may be merely a plot.
I only know that this is life,
And fair, it’s often not.
There’s little I am sure about,
Though one thing I hold true.
I would not be writing this now,
If I had not met you.
When life feels not worth living,
I hope others may live on through,
So they can travel to that day,
They meet their someone too;
And say maybe it was worth it,
Or maybe it was not.
For who can reconcile a heart in love?
And mine,…loves you a lot.

In the stillness of night she leaves,
The world and time behind.
She slips out of her bones,
And deep into her mind;
Where dream and reality meet, and,…
Breath upon breath create,…
Life, in desolation.
Feeling’s merely innate.
A door appears, she touches the knob,
And turns it, but slightly.
With a click, it opens.
She enters and closes it tightly.
Within is shelter, and protection;
Lost,…misplaced from the start.
Yearning becomes misery,
When men forget the heart.
Would you seek and pull her out from there?
Would you tell her she’s wrong?
That she’s better off staying,
And just suffering along?
For who knows what the answer should be,
To loss and sentiment.
If time can’t be rewound,
Should love and safety remain absent?
In the stillness of night she leaves,
To find what can not be.
Life is not fair they say,
And nothing is for free.
So, do not judge as she slips away,
Out of her bones and mind.
Oft’ we must seek elsewhere,
That which we’ve yet to find.

I hear your voice call out to me,
For where you are, is where I’ll be.
No matter how near or how far,
My heart is where you are.
I see your face in all my dreams,
For time is never what it seems.
No matter what the hour may be,
Your smile is what I’ll see.
I feel the warmth of your embrace,
For your taction makes my heart race.
No matter how the wind’s may chill,
Your life will warm me still.
I sense your soul, it’s always there.
You’re in my heart and everywhere.
No matter what occurs tomorrow,
Where you are…I will go.
I hear your voice call out to me,
For where you are, is where I’ll be.
No matter how near or how far,
My heart is where you are.
