If I Could I Would

 

If I Could I Would

If I could I would

But since I can't, I won't

Walk with you in sunshine

So your shadows I will haunt.

If I could I would

Lie with you in love

But I'll bathe you with my raining tears

From where I watch above.

If I could I would

Soothe your worried brow

But my soul has left it's suit behind

And I can't touch you now.

If I could I would

Mend your heart's shattered seams

But I can't meet you in the dawn

So I'll meet you in your dreams.

If I could I would

But I cannot and never

Love you like I used to do

But I'll still love you forever.

So Much For Fairytales

 

So Much For Fairytales

So much for fairytales

So much for truth

I thought you loved me

But I have no proof.

I thought the sun glowed

And shined for me

That you painted skies only

For my heart to see.

Never truly believing

In true love before

I believed when you came

You brought love to my door.

And the days just like flowers

Grew from soil that was dead

And the nights just like feathers

From two hearts made a bed.

It was moonlight and roses

It was starlight and rain

Till your soul drained of passion

Turned each pleasure to pain.

And our volume of poetry

Illustrated so fair

Now a book of blank pages

With no poems rhyming there.

The hero, the villain

With each purpose and plan

Dropped all masks and revealed

They were both the same man.

I don't read anymore

I don't dream, don't believe

I'm no longer the maiden

With her heart on her sleeve.

All my skies gone to gray now

All my laughter to wails

I see the truth and the fable

In your grim fairytales.

With your kiss, I awakened

From my sad dreamless sleep

Now I return to my slumber

And the darkness so deep.

Just a princess with no prince

Songless voice, void of laughter

You gave me 'once upon a time'

Without a 'happy ever after.'

COMPLETELY

 

If I Should Fall Behind by Dion.....love this song Sooooooo much! also poem

 

Baby, Wait For Me

I know I disappoint you

And all my faults you see

But promise if I fall behind

That you will wait for me.

I know I seem so lost sometimes

Like a ship out on the sea

But if I plunge beneath the waves

Darling, come and search for me.

I know I break your tender heart

A bad thing that shouldn't be

But though I'll probably break it again

Say you won't give up on me.

I know, I know, how well I know

That I run wild and free

But tell me at the end of my running

You'll be waiting there for me.

Wait for me, say you'll wait for me

Whether on land or sky or sea

I'll see your lover's arms stretched wide

Waiting there for me.
