I HAVE MY DAYS

I HAVE MY DAYS

I have my days and I'm sure you have yours.

For all the things that are wrong, there are no cures.

There are those days when I'm just not very nice.

Nowhere to be found is sugar and spice.

I have my days when I feel I just don't belong.

There are those days when everything goes wrong.

Just like you there are days I shouldn't get out of bed.

It's only going to get worse and I can feel the dread.

I have my days when I just don't want to play the game.

No matter where I go or what I do, it's always the same.

Just like everyone else I try to find someone else to blame.

I know as well as you know, that way of thinking is really lame.

I have my days when everything seems to get under my skin.

It seems like there's no one I can trust and I have not a friend.

There are those days when I have places to go and people to see.

Just like most, there are other places I would rather be.

I have my days when I just want to find somewhere to hide.

There are those days when nothing goes right, but not because I haven't tried.

Just like you there are those days when I can't find the mark.

Searching and searching I try to find the light, but all I'm left with is dark.

I have my days when I just can't find a thrill.

For some things that I do, I have to take a pill.

Just like everyone else, I want to eat my cake.

If you say that's not true, you're just being fake.

I have my days when the whole world seems blue,

Because you're gone and I can't spend my day with you.

Just like everyone else, there are things I want and things I need.

Wanting all of you, some might call greed.

I have my days that are good and they counter the bad.

There are those days filled with happiness that counter the sad.

There are those days that are sunny and bright without any haze.

And just like everyone else, I have my days.

HAUNTED BY LOVE

HAUNTED BY LOVE

I'm haunted by love that lives in the past.

There was a love that died, it just couldn't last.

There's an apparition that's lost in time.

No matter how hard I fight, it possesses my mind.

I'm haunted by love and in the darkness I saw her shadow pass.

In the raging thunder I heard her voice, but I knew it wouldn't last.

In the mirror I saw a glimpse of her soul, it quickly went away.

In a dream I felt her love, for that there was a price to pay.

I'm haunted by love and the places we've been.

I can hear her laughter howling in the wind.

I feel like someone has cast upon me an evil spell.

There's a fragrance so sweet only I can smell.

I'm haunted by love and at the stroke of midnight I can hear her sighs.

I wake up and in the pitch of dark, I can see her eyes.

I can hear loving whispers when I'm all alone.

There's a tender touch that gives me a chill down to the bone.

I'm haunted by love and the things she used to say.

That she would be mine forever, but then she went away.

She's gone and like a ghost that wants to play

The memories of her haunt my soul every single day.

I'm haunted by love as I lie here in bed.

The places that we went keep swirling around in my head.

The names of these places have me running fast and deep.

Deeper and deeper I try to escape into sleep.

I'm haunted by love feeling kisses on my lips that are soon gone.

There's music in my ears from an old love song.

There is a hint of perfume that attacks my nose.

Then as that fades away, there's the sweet smell of a rose.

I'm haunted by love even though it's been a year since the love died.

Time has healed the pain it's been months since I cried.

I've found a new love that's real and fits like a glove.

But here I am surrounded by the past, haunted by love.
