    3/51

    Pattern of Fate

    You are angered at the control

    That you no longer have

    Over your life, over anything

    You unravel in your anxiety

    Never knowing what to expectNever knowing what will come next

    You put your guess work

    Into your patch work

    Because you don't know how

    To fix your mistakes

    You don't know how

    Those mistakes were made

    All you know

    Is that you must be careful

    Is that you must be aware

    Of the pattern of fate

    Start Again

    I know that joy and sorrow

    Are never far apart

    Look forward to tomorrowAnd a fresh new start

    If only there was a way

    To make the wrong right

    If only there was a way

    To make the darkness bright

    If there was a way

    I'd find it

    I'd go back in time

    And rewind it

    The only way

    To get ahead

    Is to take your foot

    Off the brakes

    Accelerate

    Into the next town

    Where you can start again

    And maybe one of these days

    We can all start again

    Missing You

    I wish I could tell you

    How much I miss you

    How much I wish you were here

    I wish I could tell youHow much I need you

    How much I miss being close to you

    How cold I am

    Without the heat of your body

    Without the softness of your skin

    Without the warmth of your touch

    I wish I could tell you

    How sorry I am

    That I could not wait

    Even afterYou asked me to wait

    Now there is nothing left

    To anticipate

    Except for your return

    Let Us Say

    Let us say

    What needs to be said

    What needs to be heard

    What needs to be known

    Let us sayThat we love one another

    That we appreciate

    The things we do for one another

    Let us say

    What we have in our hearts

    What we have on our minds

    And let us be understood

    And not become persecuted

    Let us say

    What we know to be true

    So that we can be true

    To the ones we love

    Inexperienced

    Your conscience cascading

    Spiralling towards the river

    All that you've known for many years

    Grew in your mind

    The seeds of knowledge

    You know you are inexperienced

    Your lack of familiarity

    Is exchanged for your sincerity

    The rewards are not important to you

    Because you seek a discreet recognition

    You don't want to be called a hero

    Because you don't have the strength to be one

    You can't always surrender with the white flag

    Sometimes you just have to raise your hands

    In your defence; For protection

    Sometimes the knives come out

    If only to spread jam

    On your morning toast

    Jilted

    You leap from skyscrapers

    With your eyes closed

    As though there is no concept

    Of fear

    You plunge into the depths

    With no worry of resurfacing

    You do not stop

    To catch your breath

    You walk into the fire

    With no qualms of getting burntYou have been burned before

    By past lovers

    They claimed that they'd stay

    At your side; At arm's length

    Where will they go?

    When they are in need?

    If they could forgive themselves

    Would you forgive them?

    If they knew how much it hurt

    Would you accept the pain?

    And still seek pleasure?

    That you have reasons

    To get out of bed

    You listen when they tell you

    You have so many reasons

    To liveThat you will get

    Only what you give

    Shadows

    How much time do we really have?

    If you knew the truth

    Would you be the same?

    If you knew the meaning of lifeWould you still have a name?

    The stars call for you

    And guide you home

    One after another

    Shining just for you

    The moon's solid laugh

    Rolls like thunder

    Echoing,

    Bouncing off one hill to the next

    The night is silent and cold

    Unrelenting darkness empowers you

    It makes you feel invincible

    Because you made it through anothernight

    The shadows of the next day mock you

    As though they reach for you

    As a reminder of what awaits you

    They cannot see the real dangers

    They cannot feel the threat

    They cannot forget the past

    They cannot remember

    That there will be a future

    The long days become longerThe shortest time is what you get for yourself

    When you think that it's all over

    You must begin the routine once again

    Your effort goes unnoticed

    Due to the expectations you live by

    The work doesn't do itself

    There is no one to help you

    There is nothing to help you

    Get through

    You test every methodTo see if it works

    To see what works well

    You seemed to overlook

    The necessary component

    Theres a new way

    That Im going to pave

    I render you speechless

    You dont know what to sayIt might have been a lie, anyway

    I hope you dont always stay

    The same

    I hope you dont always try

    To blame; Me

    I hope you dont always fan

    The flame

    Respectively

    Shock

    I was stunned

    I was shocked

    After all these yearsYou had blocked

    All the memories

    That we shared

    I was a fool

    To think you cared

    I was in disarray

    I was in distress

    Additional stress

    To my dismay

    I suffered longPain and anguish

    Sorrow and agony

    Grief and misery

    I got my wish;

    To get strong

    You need not worry

    About me

    I can get through this

    And any tragedy

    Incorporate

    Its not too late

    To anticipate

    A chance to

    Join together

    To amalgamate

    To be intimate

    Its not too late

    If youre considerate

    Emotions

    To integrate

    Do not hesitate

    To communicate

    To set a date

    Against the world

    When you can negotiate

    Its up to you to facilitate

    Ideas to initiate

    Ideas to contemplate

    Add it to your plate

    Nuance

    Shade blending into light

    Subtle tone and highlight

    A hint of blue

    A degree of green

    A touch of truth

    Like youve never seen

    Structure built

    A trace of desperation

    A tinge of guilt

    Drop of perspiration

    Inner wear

    Outer tear

    Space is air

    Heavenly impressionListen for a tone

    A dial tone

    Favour for the flavor

    Of the week

    Freshen my expression

    Exposing myself

    Like the sky exposes the sun

    Like anger exposes tension

    Teacher

    You used to be my teacher

    But you still teach me

    As I reflect

    On the thoughts

    I used to have

    I could not be blamedI wasnt the only one

    You knew there were many

    I knew there were not any

    That had the chance

    Not on their life

    You were the only one

    I knew I could trust

    You helped me prepare

    For parenthood

    Now you prepareFor parenthood

    With your wife

    I am happy

    For both of you

    I wish there was a reason

    For you to be

    Happy for me,

    Too

    Lucky Girl

    I remember when you told me

    That you were getting married

    I wanted you to be happy

    But I secretly

    Wished thatI was the one

    Getting married

    Maybe when I met you

    The timing was wrong

    When you were already

    In too deep

    A love

    Maybe I was too

    Young for you

    Even though

    Ive been with a guy

    Older than you

    Maybe you were afraid

    Of what people would say

    Of hurting someone

    You loved,

    Youve been with for too long

    Salt

    You throw salt

    Over your shoulder

    At a restaurant

    For good luckA grain of salt

    Should accompany

    Any

    Negativity

    From anybody

    You want to put

    Salt

    On your food

    To enhance the flavorThe natural taste

    Is all you need to savour

    You like to be

    The salt of the earth

    When you can never be

    Because you get carried away

    By the salt of the sea

    Timing

    I have figured it out

    Its about timing

    Such a cruel joke it is

    When you are in the wrong place

    At the wrong time

    I used to doubt

    That progress was possible

    That I could ever getAnywhere

    Because I always got

    Nowhere

    I have to have doubt

    Not enough to get discouraged

    Just enough to be

    Cautious and wary

    Of those who want to use me

    How can fate be an explanation?

    Of why things happened?

    The way that they happened?

    When they could have happened

    Differently?

    Too Much in Common

    I think we have too much

    In common

    Because you are the first guy

    I ever had as much

    In common

    With

    I find it funny

    That you remind me

    So much of me

    I wish I could be

    Good enough for you

    How could I be?

    So lucky?

    To be

    On your mindI find

    Myself

    Thinking of you,

    Too

    Too Good

    I dont know why

    I think you are too good

    For me

    I dont know why

    I think you are too goodFor anybody

    Maybe

    Because I want to be

    The one you see

    As you go down on one knee

    And propose to me

    I know that I could never be

    That lucky

    For you to

    Want to marry

    A girl like me

    I know that I could never be

    That lucky

    To be

    The kind of girl

    Anybody would want to marry

    Legacy

    You told me

    That you want to live a legacy

    Because that is what they expect of you

    You told me

    That you want to live a legacyBecause that is what they need you to do

    You told me

    That you want to live a legacy

    Carry on traditions

    For your family

    For generations

    You told me

    That you want to leave something behind

    For someone you care for

    For someone you love

    You told me

    That you cannot live up to

    The legacy

    Your grandfather left for you

    You can never fill his shoes

    You are your own man

    And you can if you choose

    Fell Apart

    You told me how

    Your world fell apart

    How your worst fears

    Had come true

    You told me howYou felt

    When there was nothing

    You could do

    People leave when others arrive

    You have to tell those that you love

    Of your love

    When they are alive

    Just so they know

    Of your love

    When its time to go

    I wish I could go

    When you have to go

    I dont want you to go

    And leave me all alone

    You told me how

    Your life fell apart

    How a life was lost

    And you told me what it cost

    To fall apart

    Marshmallow

    I could never toast

    A marshmallow

    Perfectly

    It would always burn

    Crispy

    Black

    I could never toast

    A marshmallow

    Perfectly

    It should have been

    Golden brown

    I could never toast

    An occasion

    Appropriately

    Because I would always be

    Hiding my jealousy

    Delicately

    Painfully

    It was not good for me

    One day I will get the chance

    To toast another marshmallow

    In the fireside glow
