THE POSSIBILITIES THEREOF I swear that it came rushing at me like a tidal wave, It knocked me over and I couldn’t be saved, The first time I saw her face, it scared me half to death, She’s so beyond beautiful, I simply lost my breath, I knew I had it coming with my trembling hands, Somehow with the English language I lost command, I don’t know how she did it, but she stole my heart, And when she sent me a smile the fall began to start, She gave me life when I thought that I was surely dead, But now she’s gone and her memory haunts my head, I really miss her and the happiness that she brought, She had a fashion about h

BEING MYSELF Somebody should have saved me before it even started, Because now I’m just a recluse living ever so brokenhearted, It serves me well to be alone among those quite ascetic, For my heart beats at a pace so lonely and rather pathetic, I’m merely a fool for masquerades and sly kind of dances, Always giving purpose to my life in peculiar circumstances, When I wake I tell myself this will be the day I’ll get it right, But nothing seems to change by the time I call it a night, I’m always looking for more in a land where nothing grows, And searching for love’s knowledge from nobody who knows, It seems that

GIVE LOVE Love dares us to live, even when fear is in our way, It’s the unspoken truth in what we so often try to convey, Sometimes it ties the tongue and confuses the heart, But don’t give up on it, love can be awkward at the start, Yet it finds a way to somehow shimmer and shine, Be patient with the feeling, for all it needs is a little time, Love is breathtaking, it will turn your world upside down, It’s such a wonderful journey, it’s beautiful to be found, It will make you wonder how you ever lived without it, You’ll know when it’s true, you’ll have no doubt about it, So, trust your instincts, tr

ELECTRIC GREEN I believe she is beautiful in every imaginable way, Once a child to me, I see her as a woman today, Eyes persuading me like nothing I’ve ever seen, Perfection, such a radiant hue of electric green, I swear by my confession, I’ve never seen the likes, It is quite a thing, as to how her beauty strikes, Should she search for a heart, I would offer mine, Like all things though, love comes in due time, I’m simply caught up in how beautiful she’s become, For her eyes of electric green are second to none… -brad

I WANT TO LIVE IT AGAIN When I think about twenty-one, I think about you, I think about beautiful days and the love we knew, I pray my memories will never fade of that year, For you got me high, flying through the atmosphere, Your smile always had a way of unlocking my heart, I found myself caught up in you from the very start, I must confess, I’ve never tasted a sweeter kiss, People have come and gone, but it’s you that I miss, That was living, knowing everyday I’d see your face, And with you, my intentions were never misplaced, I will always wonder about what might have been, And if given the chance, I would live it all o

IT GETS BETTER Running away from what seemed like another bad dream, I was holding my breath, I wouldn’t allow myself to scream, Because I was afraid of what the world would think of me, Inside of my mind was such a frightening place to be, Caught up in the darkness, without a light to guide my way, Struggling with myself and tripping over the words to say, I fed into all the contemplations and made the wrong choice, But I was given a second chance and proudly use my voice, I hope you hear it, just take a deep breath before you decide, You have so much to gain, but you lose it all with suicide, There will be days when you believe that

AS THE MUSIC FADES As the music fades, I can’t seem to let go of you, Holding you from behind, it’s something I can’t do, I don’t want to know if this may be our last dance, So I am taking advantage, if this is my only chance, To hold you close and tell you what I have to say, As the music fades, together we continue to sway, I pull you near and rest my lips upon your cheek, You are the one who makes me shamelessly weak, I know as a man that I am supposed to be strong, So I trust in my heart, for it has never been wrong, You color my world with an assortment of shades, And unlike the music, the love within me never fa

RECKLESS THOUGHTS I live this life in silence, so my words do not impose, My imperfections run deep, more than anyone knows, Harum-scarum is the way about my train of thought, Erratic episodes of conflict in which I’ve often fought, Despite my best efforts, I’m indeed bitter to the core, Always wishing I could go back to how it was before, I’m no threat to you, but I’ll carry myself to the grave, There is a reckless notion behind the ways I behave, Dark is the reckoning that permeates through my soul, And it reveals in me an awakening beyond my control, I do not want this nightmare where I seek solitude, I’m rat
