The Game

It's all the same
Nothing but one big game
Trying to get your points in before the final buzzer
Watching seconds fall off the clock, you feel your heart beat shudder
Adrenaline drowns out reason every now and again
But nothing really matters until the end
When you look back on the moments when you shined
How you treated the people around you, when everything fell in line
With what you hoped for and you've dreamed of
When your heart is in the right place, when you were down or you were up
And every time you got knocked down, you got back up
When helping hands reached out to support you and assist you through your journey
When you realized it was more important to turn "I" into "We"
When you look back, appreciate the things that you were given
The blood, the sweat, the tear that you have shed while you've been livin'
This life is nothing more than one big game
Whether you feel like you accomplished something ion the end or not, it's all the same
You live for the moments when time stands still
You live for the friendships, the hardships, the game, and the thrill

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
