MELLOW MIND

Lost my dream when you looked me in the eyes
In you I thought I found a new dream, it was just a lie
Truth to a lifetime now the choices was mine

Mellow mind
You gave me the fruit to try
But then you put me to the side

Lost my way in your shallow game
Thought I found another soul to connect to mine
Alone got to work through these lonely days

Mellow mind
You gave me friendship in my mind
Too afraid to tell what I felt inside

Lost my sight saw no wrong in you
Go out of my way with feeling to prove
It was strange to me it was all new

Mellow mind
You gave me loneliness
Did you take back everything you said

Lost my feeling and everything I believed in
For a long time thought we could be friends
Have not heard a word from you ever again

LAST RESPECTS

My grandmother died

As I held her hand

She is leaving me

To were, I don't know

For her a forever sleep

For me a change in  my destiny

I see her lifeless

As old friends give there last respects

I say good bye grandma

Good bye

DEAR MARIAH

Something special came into my life
A baby so soft so kind

To hold her was to know her
To see her smile would light up the sky

Dear Mariah, touched my heart
Dear Mariah, you’ll always be apart of my memories


Such a pretty little girl
A miracle to this world

With a smile on your face
It would be a happy day

Without a worry, life was okay

Dear Mariah, there are tears in my eyes for you
Dear Mariah, I will always miss you

Pictures of you in my head
Wishing you could come back again

Some day I will see you again
Wishing you could come back again
Knowing my heart will soon mend

Dear Mariah, I will miss you
Dear Mariah, may GOD bless you

STAY AWAY

This feeling runs deep
So deep can't even think
With my feelings, I hide

Don't know what to say to you
When I think of you every day
When I'm with you
Don't know what to do

You know I'm true to you
There is only one thing for me to do
I got to stay away
Don't want to feel the pain
Don't want to see you that way
I got to stay away

I pray for you every day
That your pain would go away
Every time we talk
That pain is all you talk about

We've been friends for over a year
It feels so much longer
Don't know what to do
With this feeling, all this fear

You know I would do anything for you
How can I prove it to you?
I got to stay away
Do you hear all I say?
I don't want to go away
I got to go away
