I’m Sorry

I know I must have hurt you, caused you pain.
More, I know that I have lost your trust.
I wish I had that moment back again
To pulverize my carelessness and lust.
Sometimes we have to lose what we most cherish
To understand how much we are in need.
We play with life until we nearly perish
To dare the darkness, though within we bleed.
I need you as the Sun must have a rose
To turn its empty radiance to glory,
Or as a nation needs someone who knows
The secrets of its long-forgotten story.
I know my need of you more than before;
Thus for my trespass you may trust me more.

Texas Hold Him

I tried for so long to keep you here with me

and tried so hard to make you love me.

But now who’s the fool?  Who’s missing me?

It’s your home, it’s where you’re meant to be.

You told me I was the only thing you need.

You looked away, only for a moment, and forgot about me.

So I hope you’re finally free.

I pass the time and wait for this emptiness to leave.

I hope you’re happy…

while I hold what’s left for me.

I didn’t get to choose,

How could you leave?

I’m still in love with you.

I don’t care who’s right or who’s wrong,

I just wish you’d come back home,

I’m just no good at being strong.

I can’t hold you, nothing to ease the pain.

I can’t kiss you and make it go away.

Texas hold him because I can’t.

Give him what he’s been missing with me.

I gave him everything I had and still he had to go.

Texas hold him for me, tell him how much I miss him

and that I didn’t want him to leave.

That I see his face in everything I do,

Texas hold him, cause I don’t get to.

It’s been half a year and I still wait.

Been a lot of tears and I’m still not over you,

I can’t change my heart, it’s set on you.

I remember your smile like you were in front of me,

When I close my eyes you’re all I see.

I’d do anything to make things right,

give anything to be in your arms again.

So Texas hold him until I mend.
