Zen and Jen

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Dear mother I've lost, your name is Zen
A classic woman time and again
A great loss I felt the day you died
When asked if I knew it would happen, I admit that I lied
Dear mother I've lost, your name is Zen
I look just like you, but my name is Jen
I strive to acheive all that you are
Not only to be your daughter, but of my father, Art
Two people who loved for all years they've known,
Thirty years without a fight and now he's alone,
I know one day we will all be together,
The stir in the house will end once forever
Dear mother I love, your name is Zen
Each day I think of you again and again
These words may not reach you, but may inspire others,
To close their eyes and think of their mother,
None have been like you, if I could only explain,
You suffered for years and never complained,
You understand why I left my education,
Nobody knows about our visitation,
Speaking these words are just for my mother,
hoping to save maybe another,
a daughter who's lost from her now empty home,
I carry your face and I'm never alone,
To all the children who have lost their mother,
Sixteen or Forty you never get another,
One chance at maternity if you have been blessed,
As you walk in your home please give her a kiss,
Dear mother I will be, but your name is Zen
I kinda feel proud to be mistaken for you, but my name is Jen
As I reach a much later age,
I now must apologize for reblious teenage rage,
Maybe we talked and spent time together,
I didn't get to tell you I'd admire you forever
Your walk, your talk, grace and distinguished company,
You said you were a housewife, with seven colleg degrees!
Always giving and never took,
With your wealth of knowledge the world could be shook,
With your enchanting smile and softspoken lips,
You brought me here and I passed through your hips,
The moment you brought me here, and gave me the world,
I was your daughter too and daddy's little girl,
Dear mother I wish for, your name is Zen
An unforgetable name, some stopped calling me Jen
People confuse me with the woman you were
An honor for me, but it still leaves I am not yet that strong of a woman-I'm just a girl,
Here alone, in my seperated house
I remember the day I brought home a dirty pet mouse
Nothing can change my mther's love
I saw you carried by angels to the heaven's above
Dear mother right next to me, your name is Zen
Thank you for breathing life into my lungs and for being my best friend
Although our secret of knowing your dying
was just between us, I know we weren't lying
You prepared me to take care of your love ever-after
To stand my father, my brother and your sister
Nobody knows of the years you gave me hints
or the secrets you told me as we neared the end
Nobody knows of the closeness we built,
I lay on your belly right before you went,
22 years old was my age when you left us,
Your presence is here although you can't be seen in this house,
Dear mother, I'm grateful, your name is Zen
This is only the beginning of your creation,
My name is Jen
Thank you for teaching me to be quiet and look closely,
To be truthful and kind is what I learned mostly,
With silence comes knowledge and I've learned a lot,
Your passing brought sadness, but there's more that I've got
I learned about people and compassion as well as true love,
If I can't have what my parents had, I'd rather have none,
Dear mother I have so much to say
May our story be told to help others one day
Death may come and the bitter taste of life may grace us like wind,
Standing together proves that even in death bonds cannot be broken,
Dear mother beyond, your name is Zen
You've given your children life, loved my father and saved the lives of people who werent even your friends,
To touch the world the way that you did,
dear mother and saint you deserved more than you'd gotten,
I know you stand upon a kingdom of flowers
rewarded for all of your generous powers,
Never been selfish, always been chased,
The world had offered you a boat full of riches,
You turned it all down to be with your family and your kids,
Dear mother I resemble, your name is Zen
I promise to be the woman you taught me to be
Education and compassion, those are a given,
Other than that I will make wise decisions,
I will beleive in goodness as well forgiving,
I will understand illness's and expression only compassion,
I promise to give and learn from my life,
To take care of myself, even if I were a mother or a wife,
Most importantly I promise you mother,
I will respect myself and help all the others,
Your passing has taught me to learn from all that can happen,
Although your gone I still feel your presence,
This poem is long and only few will understand,
Maybe just daughters, mothers or the fortunate few who truly deserve the title of "women"
Dear mother who is with me each and every day, your name is Zen
I hope that this story will come back to us again,
For now I must go and begin my doting day,
Smiles, books and work, and the fact I am growing,take away the pain,
Dear mother of mine with the beautiful name of Zen,
One day you'll be proud because all that you are still walks this land,
One child a woman and the other a man,
Dear mother of mine who loved my father so,
One day he'll be there and his wounds will close,
All parents reach a dying day,
You and I were alone when the angels came,
Nobody knows that your last words were that you love me,
Or that at seven a.m. was the last time you'd spoken,
Dear mother, the woman I wish to acheive,
All that you were as well as being the girl who scared everyone just for sitting quietly,
Here I am and I know you are near,
I hope that others will learn not to fear,
When a mother is lost she does not go far away,
A child is a creation and mother is a part of each life she creates,
I pray for those who do not accept this knowledge,
Acceptance and truth are not learned in college,
Dear mother I have said way too much,
You taught me not to ramble and this poem is such,
Anyone knows the drawn out emotions
Life makes you speak enough to fill more than just oceans,
Dear mother who helps me, your name is Zen,
Just wanted to let you know I strive to acheive,
To learn everyday, to stay healthyand positive while helping others to beleive,
Each breath you take is a lesson captured by a moment,
Bitterness comes with each sweep of the wind,
Dear mother I learned from, your name is Zen,
I hope to be seen as a woman just like you, this is too long, I think everyone gets the point,
You were mother a saint to all others,
You were my mother I brag about to each open ear,
You were my mother and I know you're here,
This story is long about how my mother became my friend,
You were the most honorable woman, a lady with class who's unique name is Zen,
Just thought I'd say I love you as a true heroine and friend,
I'm glad people still confuse your face with mine,
I hear it at the grocery store or the bank all of the time,
Dear mother so quiet, so gentle with grace,
thank you for life and sharing your face,
Dear mother may our bond inspire others, Your name is Zen
May I one day be a lady such as you,
I hope people get the point of this,
Anyway, just thought I'd try this out,
Love always, Jen

Break From My Escape

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

I need a break from my escape,
Think I'm broken down and taken to that place,
HIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH as a kite and soaring in skies of urban comforts,
Don't care about the beginnings or ends,
How to leave or where to start,
So I escape,
Run in to a sea of blackness,
Kissing raindrops to avoid the sadness,
Turn me loose upon reality,
Break my escape so I can function normally,
But I'd rather be HIIIIGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH er now,
I am more complete and compensated like this than I will ever be,
You see?
Break from my escape,
This is not a vacation in front of me,
Be right back,
I need to do my thing,
Smoke it, sniff it, shoot it, pop it, drink it....
This is not an island in the tropics,
This is my version of reality

Groove

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Groove...that groove that touches me deep in my soul,
Bass is pounding as I stare across the dance floor,
Your eyes are locked with mine,
We are about to make love the rhythm said it's time,
Oh Groove that moves my legs and sways my hips,
Grinding against your body,
This entanglement of our torsoes does not include our lips,
But a groove
A deep groove flowing deep within our spirit,
Animal instincts pressing us against each other,
There's really nothing to it
But a groove
A groove that took us here to our realm and only place
There's no one else around and I see the look upon your face,
Oh closer you may come to me but I step back
It's not about a hook up,
It's about the groove,
We were just dancing

Jam Session

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Clouds of steamy grey smoke wrap me in my surroundings,
Sitting on a couch with a drink in my hand burgundy velour
slowly my heart starts pounding,
Tap Tap Tap
spoons hittin' bottles
Stomping feet to the beat
An open jam at full throttle
Blowing in bottle tops to an orgasmic groove
Creations of soulful rhythms and a mellow voice flowing so smooth,
Open jam,
Can't beat those nights
Stars in the skies and music in flight
To your ears
We take you on this magical journey
Rapture, passion, sharing and learning
Rolling a bass line and doing make-shift drumming,
Oh yeah, we could do this for hours, grinding, blowing,beating, stomping.
Wait, this is just a living room and the players are my friends,
Hold on to it tightly,
You just had an open jam

Jennifer M. Sabatino

I question where we're going,
Still not sure of you,
Wondering waiting and playing by the rules,
Think and sink escape from the curiosity,
Wonder if you feel the same when you think of me,
If you do think at all about me that is,
We don't know each other well so please go down the list,
Interesting, cute, intelligent and fun?
Perceptive, humorous and could I be the so-called one?
Still stuck on attraction pushing for reaction, but we stop...
frozen in time by ice from other ages,
Is this just attraction or one of many stages?
Soon to come,
You and me laughin in the sun,
Never had a thing like this before,
Never knew it could be like this a crush or an in betweener,
Should your mind guide you to look past the lust,
I do not wait for destiny to knock or give away trust,
If you want the thing you want,
Respect is a must,
Question got answered just theother day,
You didn't turn look so I walked away

Truth

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

The truth has been told between you and I,
Shadows and leather underneath ravenous skies,
It took us in and swallowed us whole,
Deep pits of anguish unleashing our souls,
Pain and anger,
Danger and punishment,
Climbing through potential pain and all we resent,
Truth
Lying between just you and I, as we lay on our pillows and watching the time,
You're mine,
So I told you and you gave me your truth,
I'm yours,
So you told me and I gave you my truth,
It's funny how close we can be,
Now that we let reality loose,
Thanks for tonight,
Thanks for the truth

And it happens to be just that.
That thing we spoke of that night, you know what I'm talking about.
The thing that goes around cmae back at us and now it all came out.
That thing you and I do until we met.
Thought it would last forever until karma placed a bet.
Not yet.
Just that. Let it be. Let it slide.
I can't just let you inside.
Don't blow my cover, although I'm half way out...
It happens to be just that.
That thing we talked about.

One Day

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

One Day I woke up and saw you in the mirror,
Me with your eyes,
Looking at myself never seemed so real,
I got a huge surprise,
Saw the thing I don't like in me,
One day,
Drifting in your eyes,
Sleek and smooth like a velvet Cadillac,
Retail smiles and girlish laughter,
Drained me now I'm nothing,
One day I came back,
One day you put your feet in your shoes, but see yourself in others.
One day it all falls in to place and you realize it's not over,
One day you meet that person who really has no place,
The one who makes you see yourself and all you want to erase,
So there you are and in your eyes I saw all I don't want to be,
Thank you for being my reflection,
For showing all the wrong in you in me.
Good bye.

Sometimes

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Sometimes you don't know what to do
Sometimes you just happen to use
That little white escape that makes it feel like home
Walk in to a room and don't worry about doing it alone
Yes you my sometimes friend I see
Blankets of a hazy shade that make life a bit more
easy
well sometimes
You may not understand
Little friends from orange bottles making the fear all go away
Not today, but sometimes they like to give me just a boost
Until things got out of hand
Had to turn my friends loose
Sometimes they made it better, but this time it hit the fan
Sometimes they gave me comfort
Sometimes they helped me forget that man
Not today
Had to let them slip away
Geuss sometimes they aren't real friends
Without those little white pals of mine
I geuss sometimes I might be alone again

The Time Came

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

The time came and went like autumn leaves of years gone by,
It was the most beautiful time I've ever known,
Now I can not cry,
It's not the time,
It came and went just like you and I,
Loved you so much thought that I would die,
I can't lie,
Although you're gone I am still here and sometimes I still cry, but I'm alive,
I found you within me and that's what keeps my spirits high,
I know the reason as to how it ended and never wonder why,
We had our time for summers past and winters flowed in to the beginning of our lives,
The time had come and you are gone and never said goodbye,
Underneath a guiding moonlight I feel the pain in every sigh,
I know that we did not choose this, it chose us and there is no reason why,
That's life,
So we came and went and then there's us underneath deep blue velvet skies,
What's up or down or in between there's always you and I,
Just not together.
That came and went.
But I'll love you for the rest of my life.

Somehow

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Somehow it happens that it happens that way,
Waiting and wondering until that special day,
When the telephone rings and a giggle is on the other side,
You didn't know it would happen,
But now ou've got a smile,
Butterflies and fears,
Laughter and cheers,
Somehow it happens,
Maybe not for long,
Could be tommorow when you find that it's all gone,
Somehow it happens and it happens to be just that,
The thing you least expected,
Well, in a good way, it's back

Giggle Wiggle

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

That giggle and I wiggle...
Ooops!
I think I'm shy.
I think you found a way to make me nervous deep inside.
You make me wiggle when I giggle and I think it's about that time...
Too let you know how sweet you are and I want to make you mine...
In time..
Ooops!
This can't be right...
The wiggles and giggle and the butterflies inside...
I think you're doing something right...
I wiggle when I giggle and you're the reason why!

And I saw...

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

And I saw forever in your eyes,
That morning as you looked down at me while pressing between my thighs,
Not ready to admit it, but I saw the slow thunder,
Moving deep in your soul I couldn't help but wonder,
And I saw you staring down at me with that "cherish her" look upon your face,
Knowing I was the different one and with you I have been graced,
Oh yes, I feel it too, although I will not admit it,
I can see that impression coming to my life,
And I will not forget it,
I see that you will change me.
A lesson will be learned.
Don't know if this is love or not, but I will be for now that girl,
The one who you can count upon to try to bring a smile to your days,
And I saw it in your eyes this time,
And I will now hold dear your honest face

Angel

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Dropping down to your knees
Through blades of ice and begging please
Upon the darkest days an angel in the darkest seas
Towers of bricks and broken walls
Broke Ass
Didn't know that I could fall
An angel came and looked my way
Made me see all that was so rightfully taken
Saved me from a world forsaken
Angel
As I dance on the devil's doorstep
Trippin' worse than acid and wondering what I've got left
Angel in my eyes and through the hazy shades of blue
Looking in the mirror but all I see is you
Saviour in my mind and pain
Warped pictures of heaven laughing in the rain
Today an angel came and helped me find my way
Maybe it was just a stranger through the glass
Hope this angel stays and that this inner peace will last
Until I know if you're meant to stay
I have to turn around and look away
Guard me
Guide me
Help me through this night
But please don't cling on to me
It's just a dream and staying wouldn't be right
I'm afraid this angel might want to take me
Make me feel safe and never leave me
Angel
Walks on fire and helps me build my own
Showed me that no longer do I have to be alone
Angel dear I apologize
I'm just not used to having asomeone in my life
Angel found me in my horrid days
Timing is everything, but you didn't go away
Leave me now because I can't stand the pain
What I would be left with if you were taken away?
Angel

One Day You'll Be Gone

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

One day you'll be gone
Trying not to listen
Too afraid to fall
Hate to face the obvious
But one day you'll be gone
I gave you all I could
Don't know hwere you'll go
A part of me is with you
So please don't take it wrong
Running from my fears
Refuse to say it's so
Too afraid
Too afraid to fall
We both know it's coming
Hope that we'll be strong
We start to build
Unbroken
Our hearts create a song
Hope to find the right in you
Pray that I'm not wrong
Sorry I keep this distance
But one day you'll be gone

Alone

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Of all things I've faced
Pain and loss of youth
Holding on to vibrance
Run away from you
You saw the ties that bind me
To this god forsaken home
Loving on the run
No one to call my own
Don't find me filled with sorrow
I chose to be alone
Don't misunderstand how I portray my freedom
Just see me as a spirit
With faith you'll never know
I have conquered all your kingdoms
Destroyed enemies and hopes
Carried burden down the river
And found a sail to call my home
Strength is not in numbers
It's what you've got when you're alone

It's Not That...

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

It's not that I can help it.
I really am just busy.
I can't help that you don't like it.
It's the life I lead.
I didn't choose this life because it kind of chose me.
It's not that I can help it.
I wish you stop complaining.
You aren't all I've got to deal with.
Your need are not my own.
I have so many things to do.
Please leave me alone.
It's not that I can help it.
My life just works this way.
It's not that I can help it.
We'll do lunch on Tuesday.
well...maybe

Before I Sleep

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Before I sleep, I think of you.
Wonder where you are.
Underneath a moonlit sky,
Wishing on a star.
Somewhere I've been left behind
Maybe I to you
Maybe you're asleep right now,
Dreaming of me too,
The picture's not so perfect since you're not around,
I search within my soul tonite and hope that you'll be found
Come back safely even if not to me
Keep in mind my feelings for you
There's a reason we can't see
Make a wish upon a star
I will before I sleep

Jennifer M. Sabatino

I want to taste it again
The reality of a true friend
Feeling that thing where you fall in to the end
All over again
The taste of a twist and the vortex of memories spent
Bending and twisting your past with my future
Clsoing, opening and slamming doors
I'll be mine and you'll be yours
Together
Here, now taste it all again
Reality we never had or left for unforsaken gratitude
I want to taste it with you
Taste the thing that says
Destiny and courage are the only ones who rule
This life we live we'll only know
If we taste this life together
And treat it as our school
Taste it

The only one

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

I still smell Patchouli and cologne when I dream of autumn skies,
I taste a poor man's meal from when we lived that life,
You were more than just a man to me,
I longed to be your wife,
And one day,
You walked away,
That's the day I cried,
So much was lost although you were just a partner,
Can count the nights I longed for love,
And wondered if there could be after,
Still my inspiration,
Living for that dream,
To one day find the thing we had,
With someone new I'm seeing,
It's the truth that I found love with you,
And that we had to let each other go,
Wonder if lightnings plans to strike again,
Or if you're the onlly one I'll ever truly know

Nervous Fool

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Why is it that I think of you
but make a fool of myself when I see you
Excuses just to be near you
But never tell the truth
Why is it that I try to
But you don't seem to stay
Just a passing glance we share
And then another day
This could go on for years my friend
Waiting for something right
Hoping it could have been you
Maybe you'll find that light
But not tonight
It's not me you see in all the glory of your days
I'm just a passing glance my dear
And of all the good I see in you
I'll be the nervous fool in wait

Untitled

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

It reminds me of that thing I heard,
Something about never letting go of your youth,
It reminds me of things I did,
As a kid,
To always tell the truth,
It reminds me never to let anything go,
Moments can last a lifetime,
But unless it reminded me,
I never would have known,
It reminds me of soft summer days and wind whipping through my hair,
REminds me of a girl I used to know,
She was glorious because she didn't care,
And what might be the magical "it" that reminds me of so much beauty?
It's the bad things in life,
They guide me toward the sweetness that each day many are missing.

Tonight

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

Tonight
I just can't sleep
Wishing you were here
With me
Tossing
Turning
Waiting until the day
That you are here
Here with me
I don't know where we're going
And I don't know where we'll be
We said that we're just friends
But I can't deny these feelings
You hint at them tonight
As you do each day
That you might feel the same way too
So these thoughts might be okay
To feel
To think
To want
To need
The desire is there
To have you here with me
Tonight
I just can't sleep
Wishing you were here
With me
Maybe dreams will come true
We'll just have to wait and see

Wonder

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

There are nights that I wonder,
about the things that used to sing,
Your song before we closed our eyes and all that love would bring,
I wonder where you are right now and hope that we will be,
All the things we dreamed of and you'll come back to me,
There are nights that I wonder,
If you would still know my name,
If we crossed our paths one day,
Would you stop or look away?
We used to fight the world just to save each other,
Now that you're not here, I can not help but wonder.
Will you be there in the heavens or meet me here on earth?
Will you be the one who's there to hold me when I
hurt?
Do you know I love you or that I still lie in wait?
Did you mean to leave me or was it a mistake?
Do you know I hold a place for you right here by my side?
Did you mean that you would run for me or was it all a lie?
When it rains, it pours, but all I feel is thunder?
Each day without you, I can't help but wonder...

It Could Have Been Just A Dream

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

It could have been just a dream
the thought of you
the thought of you here with me
it could have been just a dream
thinking you'd be by my side
until the day that I died
it could have been just a dream
i don't know what you make of me
i can't tell,
but do you see?
the life we're left to live
not knowing just which way to turn
evergrowing everchanging, but
we will never learn
it could have been just a dream
that we were just friends
with strong feelings
are you mine or do I dream
I want you next to me
You should be
right here with me
but you're not and I don't see
why you left or how things changed
The words are gone
But we're still the same
tommorow is another day
I don't know if I can play this game
The back and forth of what we say
First we kiss and then we walk away
Are you right for me or should I try
to call us friends and live a lie
It could have been just a dream
the thought of you
the thought of you here with me
thinking you'd be by my side
until the day that I died
It could have been just a dream
Let me know
so we can see
Because I love you
And I want you here with me

No Ties

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

I don't need a mother
I possess her soul
I don't need a father
I embrace what he has told me
I have no ties so I can leave
Carry the sky in my pocket
Beyond mountains and seas
But that's just me
I don't need your friendship or you so-called absolute truth
I don't need a pillow to lay my head
Or to be living under your roof
All I need you
Life leads to questions, usually beginning with "why?"
Never answering them until the day we die
So I'm left with one answer
It's that I have no ties
Friendship lasts forever
because you lie in my heart
And always fill my mind
I don't need to be understood or drape myself in your security
All I need to find in me is simplistic opportunity
The option to find
To release my mind
To carry on
Carry on to you and those who do not understand
What it's like to have no ties
To be alone
With nobody holding my hand
Beyond religeon,romance,politics and bills
You find the truth in being human,
Far away from the lies,
When you want to find yourself,
Realize that you no longer need your ties.

What's Meant To Be Will Leave

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

What's meant to be will be, but I beleive that it just leaves.
It seems that when I feel love, it just doesn't want to stay,
It seems that when I need it most, everyone just walks away.
What's meant to be will be, but I beleive that it just leaves.
That might just be my destiny, but I need you here with me.
Each moment that I'm here alone and the skies are turning grey,
that I think of all I've loved and lost and no one is here to stay.
I hold them close.
I miss them dearly.
It seems that when I say I love you, you leave before you hear me.
What's meant to be will be, but I beleive that it just leaves.
It seems that when I feel love, it just doesn't want to stay,
It seems that when I need it most, everyone just walks away.
What's meant to be will be, but I beleive that it just leaves.
As I lock my heart away, there's just one thing I leave for you to hold.
What's meant to be will be and all I've loved has left,
When you think about your destiny, remember that love is a gift.

Mr. Right

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

I should have known all along that you were Mr. Right.
I thought it was "for now" and all I did was fight it.
You touched me in mysterious ways, followed your heart and that's just what you gave.
I should have known from the way you looked at me.
The way you did anything to make me laugh or the brush of your finger against my cheek.
I should have known all along that you were Mr. Right.
I didn't see past the fear until you led me to your light.
A man above all that I have known.
Strength, truth, trust, and you've graced me with your honesty.
Mr. Right, the you, the only one for me.
A light surrounds you in a every possible way.
I know that things can be tough for now, but you make everything worth dealing with, every single day.
Mr. Right, not right now, but when we can be so close, it will be so perfect,
We will last forever if you'd let it
A love for which we can both be proud
Mr. Right I love you
I know I always will
You gave me the one thing I never felt before
Because of your love, my anguish has been stilled
I should have known all along
That you were the one
My beauty
My song
I will no longer fight that fight or distrust your heartfelt ways
I will be the best for you
As I know that you are right for the rest of my days.

You Used To Be My Peter Pan

by

Jennifer M. Sabatino

You used to be my Peter Pan
The one who took me to his NeverNever land
You used that magic to make me fly
Took me on a romantic ride
Flew me away and touched the sky
I couldn't return until it died
You used my Peter Pan
The great ideal of a perfect man
You gave me things I never had
Inside me, you found my gift
When you died my soul was split
Do I leave or can I stay
Do I grow up or walk away
You used to be my Peter Pan
I didn't know I'd find a man
Away from the boy I thought was love
I didn't know it was all a show
That reality was more beautiful than where we used to go
You used to be my Peter Pan
Anguish in the pits of NeverNeverland
I saw the beauty in the life we lived
Didn't know it was all you had to give
Auburn hair and music that made me float
Swept away, I had to go
Pushing hard and driving fast
I found a way to make my magic last
And there we go
Our seperate ways
I'll never forget those special days
We had a world we thought was grand
And now you're gone and I've found who I am
A pixie princess from NeverNever Land
I'm better of without my Peter Pan

look at me

I?ll be your seamstress and your fortune
I?ll take away all of the torture
I?ll give you all I could ever be

I just want you to look at me

Just a glance across the room
Graze your hand on me as you do
A dinner mint across your breath
I?ll give you all that I?ve got left
I can?t say it?s meant to be

I just want you to look at me

I stand tall at just your thought
Give all the faith I?ve ever got
Slow my lips with every word
Forget all we?ve ever heard

A stinging pain my heart wants you to see
I just want you to look at me
A carbonated dramatic flow
I feel your groove as you go
You?re a friend with amazing eyes
A soul to touch the sky
I welcome you in my life
I just want you to see
There?s more to life than you and me

Just a glare or a gentle kiss
A better twist on the love we miss
Different folks but the same old few
There?s that spark between me and you

I?ll give you all I could ever be
I can?t say it?s meant to be
A stinging pain my heart wants you to see
There?s more to life than you and me
I just want you to look at me
