Death of love.

Does true love really last or is it fleeting?
That one feeling inside when you look into one's eyes.
Is that constant or only found upon first meeting?
Love it grows cold and it slowly takes off its disguise.
Once the fantasy departs and you begin your cheating.

J.a.son.

it was nearly three months ago when i met you jason.
you pulled up in that blue car and set my heart racin'.
ever since then i've been here back and forth pacin'.
wondering how to rearrange our distant spacin'.

you are a friend that is always there when i need you.
every time i falter you're there to talk when i need to.
if you did not exist certain things i couldn't get through.
every time i ask all your words are nothing but true.

but i must say there are parts of you i still don't understand.
if only you were closer instead of in the palm of my hand.
that just means that we must meet somewhere in a distant land.
so the reasons why you are truly great will finally expand.

what i know is you have many talents to offer anyone.
and on a cloudy day to me your words are like the sun.
i know that i don't ever want our friendship to be done.
because every time i see that smiley i know we're in for fun.

Battered but not broken

In a series of unfortunate events, it's finally broken

All the words I should have said, I've finally spoken
The monkey's freed from my back, and let out of the cage
In the heat of the battle, it spewed all of its rage
I saw so many of your colors, now where's the pot of gold
When I was dealt my final hand, it was my time to fold
I never really knew you, but I guess I know you now
No matter what happens from here, I've taken my final bow
There's no turning back, all I can do is look ahead
I may not have the friend I thought, but this wisdom's mine instead

To others I may be the enemy, but what I know is true
I learned these lessons early enough, and for that I'd like to thank you
Your name is clean and not dressed in mud, and that is where it stays
Whereas mine rests in a gully of lies, thanks to those devilish ways
The question is how can it be, that this is how it ends
But the sad fact is that I have learned, that we cannot be friends
With a war torn world it breaks my heart that someone is so cruel
But I realize now this is my world, to be surrounded by a fool
What's left for me now is to escape, to a place where I am free
I need a place where I can be, everything that's me.
