The greatest gift you can give is time
I wish I gave you more of mine
What you are is pure divine
What we were is lost in time.

What we had was something great
You gave so much; did I only take?
I wish I gave you as much, so much it can ache
Though we can only hope to learn, from our mistakes.

For I can’t change
What has been done
For now it’s lost,
Though for awhile all was won.

From the old,
Something new will always come
I hope to grasp it with both hands
Something I hope you’ve already done.

Woman what a creature you are
What a beauty you can be
When you let your true features star
When you let your true beauty free.

Woman how divine you are
When you love so soulfully
Your soul becomes my strength
Your heart the spine in me.

Woman how elated I stand
When you stand next to me
You’re what makes this man
You’re what sets the boy free.

Wise words
Once said
Most lies occur
When you lie in bed.

Why don’t you dance for me
Softly, and slowly
And why can’t we just be
Our eyes unafraid to see.

I won’t run from you
And you won’t run from me
Why can’t we be free
From everything we have come to be.

Why don’t you dance for me
Softly, and slowly
And I will dance for you
If you dance and want me to too.

And we will be free
From everything we have come to be
And you won’t run from you
And I won’t run from me.

When words can’t say enough
No more can be said in touch
There is a feeling in your gut
You convey it in a look.

When there is a debt you can’t repay
You will never forget, yet struggle to say
Something in your chest, bundled away
You exhale a breath, as words just wouldn’t convey.

Your eyes meet
A feeling is shared
You might weep
But wouldn’t dare.

Something deep
Passes the air
A moment two keep
Forever in air.

When the woman that you love
Is loving someone else
For she may not love you
And she is a separate self.

If the woman that you care for
And once swore she cared for thee
Shatters you and makes you bare more
As actions kill a lie you chose to believe.

As you realise you gave your heart to fiction
Knowing it’s YOU who refused to give it to truth
Acknowledge your foolish position
Move on fast, try hold no grudges, and just accept
The woman got you with a beaut!

Give them the power
Watch how they use it
The good ones will care for it
The less will abuse it.

Sit back and take it
Watch their decisions
They only have power
For as long as it’s given.

Accepting a lie 
That you don’t believe
Doesn’t make you a fool
Only the liar’s deceived.

Let them play little games
You stick to the big ones
They don’t see it yet
But there is a difference.

They might get what they want
You might not like what you see
But what you liked you won’t want
And you’ll get what you need.

They might think they know it all
But one thing they don’t know.
Is they will remain small
It’s the givers that grow.
