These Hands

Take these hands
these hands that once were mine
now they're yours and I want you to take them
take them and make them whole
love them and want them near you now
help them see their beauty
show them happiness
make them miss you when you're gone
hold them and know them like your own
make them feel safe when you hold them
don't hurt them more than necessary
never lie to them or cheat
make memories and take pictures
but most importantly, never let go.

Ride

If all is true
and true is all
then who are you
and why did you let me fall?
to enter here is a risk
but what's life without it?
so open the door and step inside
I'm going to take you for a ride.

Old Friend

A stab in the back
a hole in the heart
yank me with your words

Leave my pain alone
it's my problem
dealing on my own

forget my name now
drop the act
you care less

hurt me again
make it sting
wake me from this dream

goodbye I guess I should say.
