Stumbling Over You
Your heart is begging to speak
yet your mind is putting up a fight.
When you stumble over your thoughts
it shakes my whole world.
I know what your eyes are saying
but I know what is right.
I could pick you out of a crowd with a glance
and let you know you are the only one there.
If I were to take you by the hand,
would you follow my lead.
If I promised you forever,
would you give me just a second.
I know this isn't your way
but I promise to guide the path.
Our minds are on the same track,
who will speak up first....
You ever get those really wierd thoughts?
No, not dirty or creepy...yet almost crazy.
Here is my point....
With one hand tightly gripping the wheel
I am driving home on the two lane highway.
Going 15 over the posted 60mph limit.
It's dark outside. The moon is gone.
As the trees alongside pass by
they look like shadows,
shadows that know something.
They want to bring me into them,
they grab my attention and keep it.
Alright I need to focus,
my eyes are everywhere but the road
by drive is so boring
that my mind starts playing games.
There is no one around except
some distant head lights
so I begin to ponder..
What if I
Sit with me tonight,
this could be our last night together.
Hold me tighter,
so this memory will always be with me.
Tell me you love me,
enough times I lose track.
Look into my eyes
so you always know I was your one.
Remember how happy you are,
because it could be the key
to spending your life with me later.
This is our lasat night...
What would you had done,
if the last night we spent together
you would have known it was the end?
Would you have let it happen?
Would you have done something...or anything different?
Do you remember the last time...
you held me...
indulged in the softest kiss with me...
whispered "I love you"
It's finally the end of the run
she's heard the fire of the gun,
the dark clouds hide the gleaming sun
she can't remember when it was all just fun.
She lays cold in the snow
then she hears the dense laughter of kids in her mind
then a glimpse of the three girls faces come into flow,
and she realizes she's left her girls behind.
She wonders how she could be so selfish
when she just wanted to help them
but they all just wish
it wasn't so dim.
The result of it all,
leaves a person to wonder
why she took such a great fall
but thats not for us to ponder.
The worst thing is
she doesn't have to live with it
but I'll never have the
You can talk to me about
how i have no trust and no confidence in love
but try living a day in my life
then you would know
what it is like to get hurt by everyone.
Think about it
having someone tell you that you mean the world to them
but then watching them die
because they gave up on life.
I manage to fail at every relationship
I try to have.
My mom was my light
she was the one true thing I was proud of.
If you were me
you would no what its like
to wake up and wished you didn't.
And how horrible it is to watch
the image of your mom
pulling the cold trigger of a gun
resting on her lip,
the same lips that she kissed me wi
You ask how you can be my type
but who says I need to have a type.
I know I don't need one,
now that I have you.
The true question you should ask,
is why did I go after you,
knowing you loved someone else.
To tell the truth
falling in love with you
was what made you my type.
Believe it or not
I was in love with you
before I even kissed you.
I guess you are right though
you really are not my type
you are actually mine.

When I was little
and my mom would tuck me into bed
there wasn't a story or song
or anything like that.
She would look me in the eyes
and tell me she loved me
and she would never leave me.
"Where would I be without my little girl?", she'd say
I use to get scared
because I was afraid of losing my mom
So I'd climb in bed and tell her I was scared
then she'd hug me and tell me she'd never leave me.
Well now she's gone
and I'm left all alone
I keep searching for an answer
but I keep falling short.
Will my life ever get better?

When she was in the hospital
I remember when I would
hold her hand
but when I'd start to leave
her grip would tighten on my hand.
She couldn't talk to me
but inside I know she was screaming
wanting me to stay by her side
and just talk to her
so she could hear my voice
and know that I still loved her.
I wonder how tough it is
to want to say something but you can't
but it's right there
you know what you want to say
but you can't speak
you can't move
sometimes you can't even control
what you want to do.
When she was awake in the hospital
and she had her eyes open,
she would watch me
wherever I moved in the room.
I'd look i
I've finally given up
I'm reaching for somebodys hand
to pull me out of the garage
before I fall asleep.
It's strange
how when you're finally screaming for help
but people just add more weight
to the knife resting on my wrist.
I thought I could handle
but I'm in too deep
I need someone to push
the chair back under my feet.
It's such a nightmare
to wake up everyday and wishing you hadn't
I realize I have lost the battle,
when all I think about is my death.
I've stepped in the right direction now
but it seems to be getting worse,
when it's suppose to get better,
and I still haven't put the
safety on this gun.
I don't have
I'm sorry
I'm going to hold you this one last time
but as I watch you go to sleep
you seem so oblivious
that this will be the last time
you get to be in my arms.
After I notice you are asleep
I start climbing out of the bed.
As I stand there above you
I try to make this easier on myself
I lean down and kiss your forehead
and tell you for the last time
I love you.
I grab my keys
and focus on what I'm about to do
when I get in my car
I clear my mind
and try to forget everybody.
I drive to a desolate road
check my glovebox
grab the cold gun
and check the chamber.
Only one bullet, only one shot.
I'm sorry

As we pass by each other
an uncomfortable anger lingers in the air.
The fight we just engaged in
had swallowed both of our smiles.
As the future will pass
there will be many more arguments.
I'll warn you now
I will leave the house yelling
I will slam the door crying
I'll speed off in my car
but it's all out of anger.
I need to let you know
that I really don't hate you
and I don't want you to die
and you were and excellent mom.
In our fights
we used illegal weapons; our emotions.
If a person thinks back
to their battles with loved ones
they realize how harsh
the things they said really were.
Just remember
if you can avoid
