UNFOLD ME



Unfold me gently
I am wrapped with a gentle heart
Caress me softly
The heart is fragile inside
Kiss me romantically
I have feelings of a little child
Hold me closely
Don't break my heart

REHAB




Life out of rehab took me a day at a time
Recuperating to the essence of life
Life is demanding and incomprehensible
The word so narrow, I see the picture of who I am inside

I starved and starved hoping I would lose my appetite
But couldn't separate my past from who I have become
It hurts me everyday and at night in my sleep
Sometimes it feels like I am hallucinating

Yet I fell the pain in my heart in the morning
It's rough and difficult out here
Sleeping with guilt of a frustrating week
Its not easy but friends never gave up on me

At first I couldn't share my story with the world
Preying eyes judging me the rest of my life
Each day staying up longer
And my night's getting colder

I may never catch up with life
I may never be able to change my past
But I wouldn't give up trying
Not until I am sober again

DRIFTING IN LOVE

Falling in love with you
Is like drifting on an open sea 
Don't know where the heart will take me
Only the thoughts of loving you 

With you, knew I have a diamond compass 
The wind setting sail to paradise 
Just about when the sun is rising 
My feelings is thrown over board 

For you blindly I took the bait 
I miss you very much
What the heck was I thinking 
That I could stop loving you 

It feels like forever 
Waiting for the sun after it rained 
I hope you're missing me too 
Same way I missed everything about you
