Amazing Grace when played by bagpipes

Two and a half more hours on the road
Too much time to think, going over and over it
Every word said, every angry gesture made
Light another cigarette off the one you just smoked
Confused, angry but most of all hurt
Trying to figure out where it all went wrong
How your life ended up this way
Her angry words spit out at you
Stinging and ripping their way to your heart
Phone rings and you answer, hearing my voice
The anger and frustration hitting me in the chest
With just the word hello..
My heart breaks as you tell me
Nothing I can say or do will take away the hurt
You say you got to go, need to smoke and think
You'll be home as soon as you can
I tell you its ok, I'll wait up
We hang up whispering the words we always say
I can see you clearly in my mind
Behind the wheel, cigarette clenched between your lips
Headlights flashing by in the other direction
Your strong jaw clenched, trying to hold it all in
Another mile goes by, your head filled with swirling thoughts
I long to reach for your hand, to hold it tight
Whisper to you that everything will be alright
My heart breaks once again, knowing there is nothing I can do or say
That will take this all away...

Thank you SKPCG

Bon Jovi - Thank You For Loving Me

So afraid of falling, I allowed it to hold me back
So afraid of breathing, I too allowed it to hold me back
In return I remained stunted and shattered
Crippled by my own emotions and demons
No matter how hard I fought, no matter how hard I tried to breathe
I just fell apart time after time, disappointing myself over and over again
Insecure, neurotic, teetering on the edge of insanity
Do I or don't I, live or die, breathe or hold my breath, fall or hold on
Beating my head against the wall, screaming until I was hoarse
One step forward twelve steps backwards
Same mistakes repeated time and time again
Lessons never fully learned
Stepping in the pile of dung over and over
Lying down with fleas itching and scratching all night long
Enough!! I screamed no longer able to function no longer able to think
Introspection, self examination, pick apart my own psyche
Repaired the damage done, no longer coming undone
So now I fall knowing I will be caught
So now I breathe knowing that my lungs will not collapse
Whole, human once again, life can begin again

So full of longing, sadly beautiful. Wonderfully written Myanimalcracker

Sugarland - Something More

The way you whisper "baby"
When it feels as if the world is crumbling
And the shadows start creeping back upon me
How you hold me tightly rocking me gently
Washing away all of my worries and tears
The wild flowers that seem to magically appear
The texts in the middle of the work day
Saying "I miss you honey"
That way you have of making me laugh no matter how bad things seem
Those silly faces you make at me when I am trying ever so hard to be all serious
So many little things, my love, so many ways each and every day
You show me that I am loved, adored, treasured
When you tell me how damned special I am
I believe you, like I have never believed anyone before
It's your faith in me, how deeply you believe in all of my dreams
It's the way you look at me from across the room as if seeing me for the first time
The way you reach for my hand, the way you slip your hand in my pocket
So many little things, my darling, so many ways each and every day
You show me that I am loved, adored, treasured, that I am indeed yours

Ahh H what a deliciously dark picture you have painted in my minds eye

Beautiful tribute Suz, words that come from the heart are the ones that mean the most and paint the most beautiful pictures.

Never could fool my Gurly, the biggest supporter and fan I have had here. Tis' good to be home

Thank you SKPCG

Thanks Abra you've always seemed to know the best thing to say

Same old song played over and over
Trying to find the comfort that was once there
Needle dragged across the vinyl, scratching deep
Nerves frayed and worn away comfort never seems to come
Lying upon a bed of thorns tossing and turning
Just cannot seem to find the zone, the gentle sleep that once was
Pushing down upon the thorns, piercing skin, blood welling up
Running like a river, bleeding it all away,cleansing a soul if only for a day
Nails risen to eyes, clawing at them , scratching away the tears
Blood now spills, running in streams down her cheeks, as she lies listless and weak
Soundless screams fill her lungs as her maw opens and closes
Words fail to come,noises just barely squeak through
Her torment just a mere reflection of you
Eyes wide with insanity, nothing left but the voices in her head
Whispering to her day after day frantically she paces the halls
Coloring with her own excrement upon the walls, now you see her now you don't
Just another lost soul left to wander through the world alone

Interesting ..too bad it's not ever going to happen..they will continue to judge those of us who do not believe regardless what their prophet says
