undone,

i've been a little lost, a little misguided

i walked on,

ignored the sneers, the glares

i kept silent.

mistakes,

i'm sure, were all guilty of plenty

erase this dirt;

gently cleanse our memories.

speak truth,

we can all find innocence;

beneath a thin layer of silk

you better untie;

those knots have you tangled

lay down,

and let the satin sheets soothe.

be still,

just breath for a moment

rest well;

find answers in your dreams

time heals;

scars are there to remind us of battle

be strong;

i know you are stronger than me.

ruff times

been driving us crazy,

a lost mind can defeat the demon inside

hold on;

to the few that will guide you,

lay down;

let the satin sheets soothe.

it’s been a long day

and i know that we're both restless;

set those thoughts away

as life continues on to test us

somewhere far away

we'll find the answers

but for now

lay down

somewhere safe and sound;

just breathe.

soft skin,

caress me gently

slow down

the body is an art

those hands can touch till it tingles,

life's short,

but we've made it this far

we've grieved;

i know that you felt me and

i try to fight the demons inside

i let go and free-fell into nothing,

inhaled;

and the satin silk soothed.

oh, i smile

each day at a stranger,

close my eyes and sing in the sun

listen to

the words the wind whispers,

i know our souls are forever one

scream loud;

at the top of a mountain,

i'm home

where the snow touches the sky

i have faith

you are the north star

that lights my path,

smiling down;

when i dance

Barefoot in the sand.

oh, it's been a long day

and I know that we're both restless;

set those thoughts away

as life continues on to test us

somewhere far away

we'll find the answers

But for now

lay down—

Somewhere safe and sound,

just breathe.

soft skin,

i'll caress you gently,

cloaked in white and crimson

i know your body is an art

these hands;

swam bare in crystalline waters,

rest your head on my chest;

feel my heart

breath deep,

i'll always quiver beneath you

release the painful demons inside.

take my hand;

we'll plummet in comfort

dream now;

the satin sheets will soothe.
