Solid Stone Expression

With Anxious Hearts

Sad tears and twisted heart

Turn on the news and fall apart

Families broken and so much death

This is not what I expect

And what happened to the fairytale ending

Was that a lie or were we all pretending

Anxious highs and tense encounters

You watch your back at every counter

Open hearts so vulnerable

And yet there's always a possible toll

Communication seems so far

We don't take the time and are too far apart

And what happened to the fairytale ending

Was that a lie or were we all pretending

Anxious highs and tense encounters

You watch your back at every counter

I'll still try and believe there's time

Even though we can't rewind

The destruction is done and here we are

We don't have to be that far apart

And what happened to the fairytale ending

Was that a lie or were we all pretending

Anxious highs and tense encounters

You watch your back at every counter

……………….........

Love You Anyway

There was a time when I didn't know you were mine

I walked a fine line in the other direction

And with one misstep of imperfection

I walked right into your arms not guessing how the rest went

And now that I know it was a hard road to go

I'd still make that choice and I'd want you to know

I feel like you helped me be the best version of me

I know the boulders that stood in our way

I love you anyway

Hours turned to years and we were always faced with a different conflict and high stakes

We had to make choices

We had to grow up fast

We didn't have time to ponder the present

We just had to act

And now that I know it was a hard road to go

I'd still make that choice and I'd want you to know

I feel like you helped me be the best version of me

I know the boulders that stood in our way

I love you anyway

Things didn't slow down until memories were lost

The foundation was cracked and we stood on a pillar

We had to start over but there was no beaten path

We looked at each other and stepped into the fog

And now that I know if was a hard road to go

I'd still make that choice and I'd want you to know

I feel like you helped me be the best version of me

I know the boulders that stood in our way

I love you anyway

Solid Stone Expressions

I thought I lost my inspiration but then I picked up a pen

Solid ink, it wouldn't stop writing, telling my story all over again

And my feelings aren't in my expressions, solid stone and hard to read

But they come out in several dimensions, most times a cryptic feed

And I know you think you know me

I don't want to hurt you and show you you're wrong

You've never really took the time to get to know me

You see the surface but the depth is lost

I do my best not to hurt feelings but even the best doesn't always work

You can try to be kind and honest but sometimes perception can make you a jerk

And there's plenty that manipulate your feelings if they see a hole in your vulnerability

So it's become necessary not to be as open

You think you see my entirety but it's locked up inside of me

And I know you think you know me

I don't want to hurt you and show you you're wrong

You've never really took the time to get to know me

You see the surface but the depth is lost

I wish people would drop the facades and schemes

And really be the people you see but society has taught us we have to model something we aren't

And all compassion can be lost as can sympathy

And I know you think you know me

I don't want to hurt you and show you you're wrong

You've never really took the time to get to know me

You see the surface but the depth is lost
