Thank You

Thank You,

Although you did not supply the words I spoke, You gave me the air to breath.
Although you didn't walk the miles that got me there, You were in the music that accompanied me.
Although you didn't feel my heart break, You stood with me in the rain.
Although I did everything wrong, You hugged me and let me cry in your shoulder.

You have strengthened me and made me strong.
You have carried more than your share so I didn't have to.
You picked me up when I could go no further.
You were the only one there when I was totally alone.

I'm sorry I can never give back what you have done for me.
I'll never have the strength to endure what you have.
I'll never know how it feels to bear someone else pain so vividly.
I'll never stop asking you to forgive me.

I owe my life to you. I hope it will be enough.

Weightless

I think about it for hours and hours
The thought alone propels me to be so bold
If only I were by your side
Or had a voice of thunder
I could tell you right now
Sadly I can't and probably won't
In my head I can imagine
You shouting for joy
Because you had longed to hear the words
But in reality it's not the same
An excuse may arise
Or a longing for someone else
I have no idea what I'm to do
I'm stuck between the honest and faithful truth
And a much more depressing fear of loss

Then again I'm so young
I have no need to rush and ruin the good
But life is too short to kid myself
You're amazing
And I want that moment of true awe
Maybe in a another world
Fate had brought us together
Nothing had hindered the truth
In that world where I'm everything I'm not
Yet I'm still me
Not afraid to take a chance and leap into thin air
Happy to break every bone in my body
Just for you
Hopefully it won't have to come to that
But I know every second I think about it
I'm ready to jump

Finally I love you,
I LOVE YOU
                       I LOVE YOU
                                               I LOVE YOU
I'm falling and falling
And it's the best feeling ever
Now I'm weightless
Even for a moment

Dusty

P.S. I hope you'll forgive me for being bold
I just thought I needed to have guts for the first time in my life.

Not Good Enough

There's nothing I can do
I'm out of hope and patience
I've tried to be there with you
There always was imbalance
That horrible ride
My over expectations
I feel like I've lied
And know I have no pardons
There's no way back
To the night that's passed
I know that I lack
I know I'll be last.

Dusty

Far Away

I'm having one of those days

Where I'm stuck in a dream

I'm close enough to hear you laugh 

To look into your eyes

But really I'm millions of miles away

I'm staring at stars

That are much closer now

I'm singing as loud as I can

Even though I know no one will hear

Alone in the space of my mind

Creating worlds and stars without number

Except this one

This star is the most beautiful

Just like you

You....  still laughing and smiling

Propelled by the thought of you

I make the million mile journey back 

To utter a quick

I love you

Dusty

Your Burden

Trembling and sliding backwards down the trail

Tripping and falling over with tears flooding your eyes

I can't help but want to take your burden

To take your pain away 

So you don't ever have to feel that way again

But you can't see me

I'm invisible to your eyes

My short life took me from you

Now i'm left in torment as you are left alone

Struggling without help

I almost miss you say my name

You say it so soft and warm 

You ask for me to be with you

To carry you and tell you it'll be okay

I stare at you as you cry and slowly whisper into your ear

Though you can't hear me, 

You're so close

Only a short way up the hill 

I don't know how you can go on alone but you must

I'll be waiting at the end

Waiting to carry you and take away your pain

Abruptly you get up look down where i am and smile

You know, you smile as you climb like you had just started

Bounding the rocks and hills

The pain has no hold on you now

Nothing does, not even gravity

Flying to where I am

Nothing can stop us as our feet dangle below us and the sky approaches

With love,

Dusty

You're here with me.

There are days when you feel like writing a novel
There are days when you feel like singing for someone
And then there are days when you feel like reading a novel
Or there are days when you want to listen to someone sing their heart out
But today I just want to see you
I want to read your thoughts through your eyes
I want to hear the words flow from your mouth
And even though I know I can't because you're gone
You will always be here inside me
You've made me different and coincidentally you dwell in my heart
And with every beat you course through me
Now I am strong
Now I am happy
All because I knew you

Dusty
