Halves of a Whole III: What Lies on the Horizon?
She claims that she still wants it to work,
So somewhere within, does that bliss still lurk?
If indeed it does, then come fire or rain
He shall search to find it again.
Will the dreamer break through to her heart,
Or will all his dreams finally fall apart?

Halves of a Whole II: Down to Earth
Hardened little realist girl
Somewhere within your walls you curl.
Your heart takes a backseat and your mind takes the fore
Cold logic where there was bliss once before
Rose-colored glasses blind you no more,
You see things for what they truly are.
No biased thoughts, just what's for the best
as you put your emotions to the test.
You won't let yourself be set up to fail
For you already know the end of this tale
You've warned him time and time again:
One day his delusions will come to an end.

Halves of a Whole I: Head in the Clouds
Silly little dreamer boy
All your hopes bring you such joy
But when your dreams come crashing down
They'll take you with them, to the ground
You do not see in black and white,
but rather in a hopeful light
for if you lose sight of your hope
you do not know how you would cope
Why did you have to fall in love?
Although your heart soars high above,
You should have waited for your own sake.
When that future dies you'll surely break.

'A mother's love is forever'
'A mother's love is forever'
never has this been more true
For through everything we'll still remember
All the little things you do
You help us with our struggles
You pick us up when we fall
No matter how hard it may get
You've been there through it all
Every reassuring word said
and every wound that you mend
These things shall stay with us
until the very end
Across the miles and through the years
You are still here in my heart
But my life was changed forever
The day we had to part
I thank you for these memories
The precious times we've had
And even though I miss you, Mom
I still will not be sad
Because even though it hurt to go
It brought me here today
and no matter how much I say or do
That's something I can never repay
So even though I'm far from home,
I just want to say
You'll always be here in spirit, mom.
Happy Mother's Day
Fears are seeping
Still not sleeping
Soon I will have drowned
My mind, they're breaching
Hopelessness reaching
Pulling underground
As I sink under,
Wise words, they sunder
Foolish dread inside
The water splashes
My resolve flashes.
Rising, I shan't hide
Something from the fog
to lead through this bog
A fair hand takes mine
"Soon it'll all be
over, just trust me"
Her golden hair, it shines
lit by countless lights
shining in the night;
flames of kindred hearts
I shall not let go
For fear, this I know,
That when I do, we'll part

Winged Boy's Lament
Every day I sit alone in this cage made of gold
supposed to be wonderful, but this routine's getting old
Every time I sing on cue. My voice is growing hoarse.
I cannot take much more of this, I'll crumble in due course.
Every time my singing is not quite up to par
I cower in shame as they electrify the bars
Every time I laid alone, crying as I bled,
I knew there's hardly room for two, not even in my head.
Every time I stretch my wings, longing for the sky
they press into the metal bars and silently I cry
Thinking I'll be trapped in here until the day I die
Your gates are closed, I'm at the door
Curled up on this cold hard floor
With no way in, outside your walls
still will you not heed my calls?
Which one will you likely hear,
The castle's din or my silent tear?
My mask is cracking, coming undone
there's only so far I can run
Slowly falling, down and apart
I'll wait here, inside my heart
That fatal ring, 'tis the bell
That fateful moment when I fell
down that withered path of death
as my mind, in horror seeps
as my king, blindly he sleeps
in the dark, his final breath
For my love, come unto me
this bloody dagger I now see
Help me in this hellish deed
Meet with counterpart of steel
the foolish king, soon shall kneel
in wicked silence, alone he'll bleed
I stare into the windows
Through to those seas of blue
Twin oceans shining back at me
More lovely than I knew
I dive in beneath the waves
Although I cant swim well
Im barely managing to stay afloat
Captivated by her spell
She flashes her radiant smile
Its all that I can see
I sink on down beneath the depths
Forever lost at sea
