Ghost of September

It's always trying to find me
The Ghost of Last September
It wants me
To make me show a piece of my soul
Not yet appreciated nor deserved
By any of its beholders

It is hungry
Wants to feed on my desires
To reach out to where there is noone
The bait is an illusion
That is fading with every heartbeat
That doesn't care

Sometimes we put ourselves in situations
From which there is no turning back
There is no hiding
From the Ghost of September
And I always choose the same wrong
Because I am addicted to my own excuses

Love is only
For the lucky and the strong
And there are no second chances
So there is no need to act like you care
When I say goodbye, feeling nothing
For you, my Ghost of September

Potentially Immortal

When the awareness of the others has left us
And we are all alone
You're the last one I cling to
With your hand full of promises
Never to be made nor kept

I've already let life get to me
Only to see it fade
Because you are running too fast through my veins
And I am bound to loose you
As you take my breath away

Leaving me in need
Of instant gratification
Stuck in the game we both are loosing by not playing
You get me, but aren't willing to see
That together we become a jewel that time can't destroy

Potentially immortal
With a song in my head that describes
Everything you mean to me
Iam not allowed to come too close
To your capacity of loving

Counting days, counting nights
My thoughts of you warm up the moonlight
So I can go to bed
And with no thought of tomorrow
Eternity becomes my protection

Dreaming of a reality
Where your mind becomes like mine
While your heart tells me thousands of stories
About how loneliness is but a fairytale
And my past is forgiven and forgotten

Change the World

I remember the first time I met you
An intruder in the life I call mine
But as all other transfers throughout time
It was the fruit of inspiration divine

I've enjoyed the time you have been here
A time of friendship, lessons, and laughter
But like everybody else you will leave me
For now and ever after

You say you're off to make a difference
To change the world as we know it
As I've felt the potential of your noble heart
I know there will be no limit

Since I've seen the way you work
Your faith, your testimony, your spirit
I wish you good luck with the rest of the world
Because mine you've already changed it

Ready To Be Blessed

I've been waiting for this moment
Now I'm standing before your eyes
After spending a whole life
Only finding others in your disguise

I've been through so many heartaches
Been touched by lovers, friends, and places
Everyone of them a bridge
Through and over life's little phases

Guided from above by someone
Who wanted me to meet you
Someone who's looking for reasons to bless us
No matter the mistakes that we do

For so many years I've been a foreigner
Feeling home could only be by your side
Though I've tried my best to prepare to meet you
I've lost years neglecting my guide

But I am ready for love now
Heaven confirms I have passed the test
So I'm standing here before you
Ready to bless and be blessed

Somebody Else

I wonder if it's enough for you to share a divided heart
Is it enough to be behind the other side of love
Where you can't make decisions
A side of accepting without understanding

Where you can never be together with the dream
That is sitting next to you
You can't talk, you can't touch
You can't breath the same air

So close and yet so far away
So forsaken by somebody else
And you are left alone with the translation of the song of a heart
That is singing only for you

And I am stuck between two singing hearts
In a place where life is hard and lonely
Two hearts that so badly want to touch the skies
And come down together as one

The hardest decision to make
Is who to be with at the end of the day
And it will always make you wake up with somebody else
Even if there is noone else like you in this world

One of Those Days

It was one of those days
When the room around me
Seemed emptier and smaller
There wasn't even place for solitude
And the walls had no time
To watch me or talk to me

It was one of those days
When loneliness wanted to come in
It was too cold outside for life to smile
Though not rainy enough
To wash away my secret wish
To not want to think about anything at all

It was one of those days
Just the day after yesterday
When existence tried to strangle my soul
And almost made it
Though saved temporarily by the hope
That these empty days would have no memory

It was one of those days
When I just wanted the minutes to leave me alone
To stop reminding me that they have no end
They just begin over and over again
Point at me and laugh at me
And won't let me close my eyes

It was one of those days
When thinking doesn't help
Even your absence had abandoned me
And I could no longer remember
What it was like standing beside you
Being able to dream about you

It was one of those days
When the music abandoned my night
I just wanted to to taste the sound of my name on your lips again
And fast forward life until a day
When there is no longer any space allowed between us
For you to love, to live, to breathe without me

My Nights

The sky is bathing in twilight
The sun is singing goodnight
The horizon is warm and orange
Today is soon out of sight

I'm welcoming the night
The guardian of my heart
When I'm alone with the darkness
My life gets a whole new start

I can be myself now
While I'm awake and alone
There is so much to dream about
When I lie here on my own

How the world can be so beautiful
Even if you're not by my side
And it will never be the two of us
So my feelings must be denied

But always brought back to life again
In my pocket of time called night
There's where I always think of you
And I can enjoy your light

Still I'm hoping for the day
You will make my nights come true
There are so many real things
I would like to share with you

My heart's loneliness and secret thoughts
Its darkness and its light
All its sacred feelings
Its every day and night

Loneliness can be more beautiful
When it is shared by two
So I'm longing for the day when
All my nights will be shared by you
