Maybe someday we'll be together,
when you're mine I know I'll sleep better.
It may be difficult, the challenge we face,
but we're okay because of God's grace.
We'll keep fighting, we'll smile not frown,
the world is against us but we won't back down.
Lately I can't separate fiction from fact,
how will I walk away with my pride intact?
Faking a smile is my personal victory,
but my delusive manner still makes me a mystery.
I'm sorry if I'm frustrating and confused,
I'm not quick to trust, I've been too abused.
The timing is off, we're not in our right minds,
but there's something in you I never thought I'd find.
I know right now we're stuck in stormy weather,
so sleep, and maybe someday we'll be together.

There is a change in the way you speak to me,
There is a change in your touch.
I am used to your different moods,
But it has never hurt this much.
There is a change in the way you walk,
You no longer call my name.
Someone has taken over your mind,
Leaving me in pain.
I just want the other you back,
The one that I used to know.
I think I know what’s coming,
But I can’t stand letting you go.
Please show me you’re the same,
It’s something that I need.
I don’t think that we can be fixed,
You’re just too different to me.

The water is getting higher,
it surrounds me on all sides.
I'm panicking,
I'm looking but there's no way out.
It's climbing fast, over my ears and over my head,
I think the worst is over but it's only begun.
I'm not drowning,
but sinking.
I can still feel everything,
the pain didn't vanish.
Lord, if this is my punishment just let me die,
I don't want to burn anymore.
The worst part is feeling so numb,
but still feeling everything.

Sometimes I see you,
A face in the crowd.
Walking through my dreams,
Calling out loud.
Sometimes I forget,
You have gone away.
I wake in the sunshine,
To a cold lonely day.


Sometimes I hold you,
But only in my dreams.
I wake up and you're gone,
just like the moon beams.
Sometimes I follow,
Down the rainy way.
Following your footsteps,
they never go away.


Sometimes I hear you,
Laughing down the hall.
But I know I can't see you,
You're not there at all.
Sometimes I hold you,
Kiss your sleeping head.
it hurts to remember,
cause it feels like you're dead.

Being alone again makes it hurt,
people whisper that it could be worse.
I cannot focus on more than one thing,
my mind says I'm healthy but it stings.
There I go, breaking myself down,
it's no wonder nobody sticks around.
There's a simple comfort, "Last time I was bigger,"
There are things I can't avoid,
and everything is a trigger.
You can't catch lightning,
and it's dangerous to try.
But if I almost die from it,
maybe it can change my wicked mind.

It hurts to have no one to run to,
it hurts to have no one to care.
It hurts to have no one to share my pain,
when my dreams disappear in thin air.

The weight of the pain piling up on my back,
it leaves me to wonder "what does my life lack?"
Someone like you, someone to be my friend,
someone to trust to be there til the end.
Someone to comfort me when I mourn,
it hurts as bad as the ***** from a thorn.

I want you now and I want you forever,
I want you to be here and leave my side never.

Dio, sono ovunque,
Mi stupisce la bellezza di questo mondo.
Riempire di me, Dio.
Bisogno di te ora e per sempre.
Tua grazia mi lascia senza parole.
This simple poem took me forever to get right. The conjugations are probably way off, but I'm proud that I wrote Italian with no help!
