A word to the reader: all my poems / songs are meant to be read by pausing at the end of each line.
Season of Fire
I come from dark lonely days
Knife at your throat, that was my way
I fought to breathe as my soul bled
Now my road leads straight ahead
Look out world I'm coming on strong
I'm alive and this is my song
Never look back don't give it a thought
Doors can open when a new lesson's taught
Out on the road and I know it's right
I ain't afraid of the night
I can see where I'm going
'Cause I make my own light
I'm lit up, I'm runnin' wild
Livin' my life in a season of fire
Don't be afraid of what you might find
If you get sour grapes make a fine wine
It ain't always easy but don't give it up
When you make it you can live it up
I'm gonna run so come take my hand
Turn on your light and scream as loud as you can
I don't apologize for where I come from
What I've got now yeah it's hard won
I don't think about what should've been
Don't lose sleep over what could've been
It's here inside me and baby it's bright
Let the night fall 'cause I make my own light
I'm lit up, I'm runnin' wild
Livin' my life in a season of fire

Three Words
You call me up but you won't come over
I ask you why you say it's too late
Are the days gone when you were my lover
I want to know why we play this new game
You tell me you just can't take any more
Maybe moving on is really the best thing
But come midnight you're at my door
You used to say I was more than a fling
I love you - I hate you
Don't go away - don't come back
Which three words
Do you mean for me
You gotta know I can't live without you
I want to get back to the love we had
Moving on, you know I don't know how to
When you push me away it drives me mad
You leave me alone but I call your name
When I'm not home you always ask why
Where is the love that you once gave
Do you want to stay or do you want to fly
I love you - I hate you
Don't go away - don't come back
Which three words
Do you mean for me
