Understand Nothing – Believe in a Purpose
“How can you not be mad?”
“It must hurt like hell.”
They just don’t understand
“How can she date”
“Flaunting it in his face”
They just don’t understand
I was never quite sure
How I would react
They thought they understood
I surprised myself
Making it this far
They thought they understood
I try to explain
The depth of my love
Now they are confused
My love transcends
My own personal needs
Now they are confused
It all comes down to this
Understand Nothing
Believe in a Purpose

Painful Lessons
I see you now
Happy as you’ve ever been
Spending quality time
With another
You smile more
And are light on your feet
As beautiful as ever
I have seen you
I remember the days
When we smiled and laughed
Days that are
Too far in the past
Still the pain that I feel
Pales by comparison to
The pain and the hurt
I inflicted on you
Built up over time
Like a great wall
Some parts would crumble
But it would never fall
Now the wall is slowly
Eroding away
With a touch of another
Smoothing the sharp edges
You are molding yourself
Into who you want to be
A confident and beautiful woman
Who deserved much more from me
Yet I too am changing
Perhaps a little to late
Painful lessons
Twisting my fate

Not a Perfect Man
I am not a perfect man
Nor do I pretend to be
Still I will do what I can
To be what you want of me

My Love
My love for you is ever flowing
From the deepest part of me
My hope for you is growing
Your becoming who you want to be
I yearn to step in and guide you
Back to where I am
My heart grows heavy
Like the leaves with the morning dew
Thinking of my life
Without my one and only you
I yearn to step in and guide you
Back to where I am
They say “If you love something
Set it free”
I pray Lord, bring it back to me
My love for you is ever flowing
From the deepest part of me.
