I Wasn't Sure How To End It So...

I used to believe that when I walked down the street
Mountains would move out my way.
And I used to believe that the people I'd meet
Would listen to what I would say.
And I used to think that the sun and the trees
Were there just to brighten the world.
While I used to think of the flowers and the bees
And watched them all as I'd twirl.
And my skirt would fly out and my hair would fly too
And above me the sky would blur
And my heart would beat fast until my cares were few
But I was just one little girl.

And then I believed that the sun was a lie
And I hid from the light.
And it was then I believed that childhood could die
And I cried late into the night.
I refused to believe that people could honestly
Enjoy my company
Because all I'd known was hurting alone
And receiving no sympathy.
And I'd haunt the streets and walk off beat
I thought someone tore up my drum,
But then I woke up, watched the dark retreat
Found I was part of a sum.

And so now the sun shines and I accept it's light,
But I know the truth of night.
So I be happy and be confident
But remember bad times I've spent.
Because we need both night and day,
So life doesn't go either way.
It has it's ups and downs,
But get back up and turn around
And flip off the way you came.

You're welcome.


love,
Rex

forever and ALWAYS.

Winter's End

I started off this winter with my love by my side.
I started off this winter with his hand in mine.
I started off this winter with someone to hold me tight.
I started off this winter with his light in my life.
I started off this winter with no sleep and  no rest.
I started off this winter with too much to detest.
I started off this winter, naive, starry eyed.
I started off this winter, hope fresh in my mind.
Now I end this winter, with my love gone and lost
Now I end this winter, paying the steep cost
For words as bitter as the wind
That brought the virgin snow
For assumptions that made the debts I pay
For pain I cannot know.
Now I end this winter with rest but rest I not,
For there are nights when life can't cease, and the storms cannot be stopped.
I started off this winter with mountains I could move
I started off this winter pushing them with you.
But with time that passed and aching hours I wish I could regret
With you I shoved and tried and failed but I cannot move as of yet.
I started off this winter with knowledge I loved you,
And I started off this winter knowing that you loved me too.
But the shivers and the flakes of white that plagued this winter cold
Froze our hands and froze our hearts with the ice that we foretold.
We knew the end was near and that the sun would shine again
And shine it did for one whole day but then we lost our friend.
I started off this winter with a heart so pure and true
With the runoff of now melting snow I relinquished it to you.
I started off this winter in a frigid fairy tale
I started off this winter but now all warmth has failed.
I have hope for the future, for the flowers in the spring
And hope that something good for you the melting ice might bring.
The grass and wonder and the fresh new world
Revealed soon by the rain,
I hope this warmth and water fall
Can wash this all away.

forever and always
