Lost In Space

I'm slowing down, forgetting
Why I've come down this path
I've forgotten where I'm going
What is it that I need
I'm distracted by all these colors
That my eyes seem forced to see
I'm confused by my dreaming
Of what I think I want
I'm so torn by my fantasy
How can I not play along
But I manage to stop completely
I attempt to clear my mind
I start to wonder what happened
I've been possessed from inside
Now where should I go
How can I get back my lost time
I'm struck with my guilt
Reality does not rewind

Once Upon A Time

I wonder what time can do

To my memories of you

Can it pull you out from my heart

Make me really forget?

I wouldn't even miss you

If I'd forget who you are

I wouldn't even know you

My heart from yours, so far

I wouldn't think to thank you

As I use your advice you gave

I wouldn't even know it's yours

If time can take memories away

So I write as I do wonder

As I fear it may indeed

I'll write what I remember

So time cannot succeed

A Fragile Gift

With bows and ribbon

I'll make for you

A special gift of love

Filled with hugs and kisses

And warmth

I'll wait for you to open it

To smile, to feel some joy

To remember that I haven't forgotten

I'll wait for you to wrap some up

And send your love to me

I'll treasure it

Filling up my heart

I'll wait for it to comfort me

To help me smile, feel some joy

And to remember 

You haven't forgotten either
