IN MY DREAMS

My heart, my dreams, my thoughts are all in the corner...
Tossed away from the reality
Looking at you, listening to you feels harder each time I get
shoved deep down
You play with my heart, cheating your way in and quitting in the
middle,
You keep me awake, not allowing me to dream,
when dreaming is all I can do.
I close my eyes, too afraid to get hurt by what I see.
I close my hands, unprepared for another one of your games.
I close the computer, trapping every piece of you inside.
CHASING A DREAM

what i see in you, i wont see in anyone else.
what i feel for you, i cant decide for myself.
what you mean to me, i cant throw together in few words.
i cant show you my smile in your presence as many barriers come
between us blocking our way.
i cant patiently sit and wait for you, but i'm forced to
as i'm repelled away, even from your shadows.
i run after you determined to see you smile.
but i find nothing in the empty air.
you run farther away, as i chase after you.
but what's in it for me, if you're the one pushing me away
