We've heard it all before I'm sure All the things that made us wrong. They would stay for a while Then always move along I'm too emotional, too busy Too much drama with him Too many curves and wrong turns Jump in too deep on a whim Perhaps we're too dorky Too Childish with too many dolls We don't have the perfect bodies But that's not what matters at all Because we're too thoughtful Too sensitive, too sweet and too kind Too okay with imperfect And too unafraid of what we'll find Because we've so much more in common Than any I've found before you And I don't mind if you're a little clingy Because I am too Everyone is different To most we wouldn't shine But all the things that made you wrong for them Are the things that make you mine

Prologue - Forever Awake
Today started off like most days; too soon and with too few aspirations of promising distractions. It's not that my life is currently dreadful in any sense of the word; it is simply mind numbingly mundane. Same breakfast every morning, same mediocre employment, same empty house to greet me at the end of the day. My life could certainly be worse but, could also certainly be better and I know this because, well... I'm getting ahead of myself. As I sipped on my lukewarm mochaccino, the cursor idly flashing on my screen, I pondered the role I was playing in my own existence. Did I really want to be in this exact same chair, with this exact same drink 5 years from now? Ten? My coworkers voice pulled me from my reverie. "..belle. Hey, Corabelle." My hazel eyes suddenly collided with his questioning gray orbs. Shifting his weight, he casually propped himself against the edge of my desk. "I haven't heard a sigh that despondent in a long while. Why the long face?" Averting my gaze, I
Hardship is our birthright There is not path yet untrod Just these parallel prisons With such misleading facades Places we house our secret selves We're too afraid to lay bare But what if our imaginations Are what really keep us there? What if they key to our freedom Isn't behind these crumbling shells? What if we're braver together Outside these stagnant cells? Finding the reason doesn't just happen Perhaps we create our own Let me give your hurt a little purpose And you give me a little hope Together we'll pick up the pieces And rewrite our star crossed fates Time alone is not a healer But a catalyst in wait Heartbreak heals, if you can let it Pain flows out as peace seeps in All you need to do is open the door You must step out to begin
Buried beneath the surface 20 years of shame and doubt and woe Within the clutter of my mind Where others dare not go Lies the girl I used to be I sometimes hear her calling, "Why did you abandon me; So many years behind we're fallen." Where did it all go wrong? When did I let her slip below these piles Boxes of things I can't discard Guilty emotions, broken smiles Fraught with forsaken echoes Are the corridors I tread Too scarred to look behind Too paralyzed to look ahead The way out may not be clear So many sorrows lay before Until I unpack all this baggage And wrestle free the door So I'll write these words aspiring To find a better me despite We may have lost our innocence But we don't have to lose our fight
Some dream of prince charming Others a bright shining knight I dream of neither On days I dare dream And dare to fight I envision my mystic His aura calm and caring Who would stand here beside me And dare not betwitch me Would be bold but not daring He'll peer in through the window Until the gate can swing wide Speak louder than tha voices See a brighter future And perhaps so could I He'd see the whole me and yet Not falter despite The mute screams in my silence The invisible tears in my eyes Show me the stars in my night Don't take it, don't fix it Walk with me through it, sharing The past, the future The demons deep inside Sharing the burdens we each are bearing Some damsels need saving But I am not one I'll be your hero And you'll be mine Until we become one
Hands upon my cheeks you draw me in Whispering your promises once again Lashes flutter shut as I fall in deep Pandora It has been so long my friend "Just tonight" The preveracation echoes Seeping in through the narrowing door "Just tonight" Yes tonight shall be the last time Then I'll give in no more Slither slowly down the lazy descent To where my sanity shall stage its great escape As this selfish secret paralyzes me How much more will it take? "Just tonight" I'll give in like I have so many times before "Just tonight," It whispers back, "That's all I'll need for sure."

He could do it all if He wanted
But He wants us to believe
But instead we take limitless power
And box it up for ease
We wonder why we don't see it
"He's left us here," we cry
But my blind hearted child
Just open up your eyes
Instead we keep it comfortable
In the prison bars of our binds
Burying a faith that could move mountains
In the sandbox of our minds
With a finite understanding
We try to understand our paternity
If you want to see a miracle
Open the box, set Him free
Day dreams dawn in this midnight
With a fair stranger at my gates
Yet locked up in this Jericho
I hold prisoner my fate
This unintentional crossing
When all hope seemed lost
No man's land was the plan
But now, at what cost?
This soft soul stands before me
So patient and so kind
Palm to palm through walls of glass
Undaunted by what's inside
Yet despite what he could tear down
He'd rather step aside
Speak strength into this frail heart
And let God be our guide
From when it all seems too perfect
To when I feel too flawed
He makes it all worth it
Being friends waiting on God
Life has been a slower creeping
Clinging tightly gainst the wall
What once was bright before me
Feels a dead end, shadows roll
So twirl my little morning glory
Petal up tight and shield your heart
Too many thorns and weeds about
Await a better start
I Used to be a sort of shy flower
Now I've no flower blooming
But just round the corner
What there could be looming?
Around the corner, just before me
A strong presence clears the way
And though I know not what could happen
I can't help but say,
What could be, so I'll lower a petal
If i dare perhaps to hope
There's tender wounds yet open
But the soft voice helps m
Another year older and wiser they say
Yet some smile less upon this day
Plans not made or put aside
Then you wake one day with open eyes
You see days lost, time moving on
Knowledge gained but youth foregone
Some days you look back so full of regret
But there maybe some hope yet
My worrying wanderer so far from home
So full of memories and stories your own
Bold at first meeting, sweet words and soft heart
Ours beat close together, though worlds apart
The best laid plans of families and friends
Of us and our dreams come to an end?
Or a better beginning perhaps for us to create
God's plan and timing entwining our fates
His plans are a mys
