Please leave my heart how you found it. Unbroken and so true Don't tell me about all the things  that you're wanting to do Don't pretend it's not over I don't want to know Just take your things with you As you quietly go. Don't try to console me I'm better here alone There's nothing that can be said That hasn't already been shown. Please don't look for me  to tell me-  Just let yourself out. My life will go on, (a s it did  before)  you came about.  And if you truly care about me. You'll leave me in this way Let's not f--- it up any more By bad things we might say. Let's part as equals Possibly friends, And I'll think about you sometime When the time lends. I love the fact you loved me I love the fact I loved you. Please don't ever doubt it Because our love was true. And the fact that  I don't  want to know... Is clear enough to me I'd rather live oblivious Than to know it will ...

Unsettled dust Finally Settled that day When your stupid car finally Pulled away- It would be the last time Of our bickering And I thought I heard Someone say: They started as friends Then turned into lovers, She had her writing, And he had so many others- But theirs was an almost love affair- It was obvious to most That they both really cared..... And that they still do. I took the furniture You got the car I got settled in an apartment Friends saw you at the bar. At least there's no more bickering And I went out again one day- When friends asked I'd tell them We had everything in common We had started as friends Had given it a good run.... We started as friends Then turned into lovers, I had my writing, But there had been so many others- It was an almost love affair- We fought all the time And you never listened Our wedding vows went bad But something still glistened. And I'd see you around f rom time to time. But It was obvious to me that you really cared.... And though ...

This song is for the dreamers For the sensitive at play For the artists and musicians That teach us what words don't always say It's for the maddening verbrato  For the echo of the drum For the painter's precision of the tomato And for the defined guitarist's strum.  It's for the singers and the songwriters  Who put their whole soul on the line. It's for the cartoonists and the writers  And chef's artistry where we dine. It's for the designers and choreographers that add beauty And life to what we see Its for those who choose to live  Their lives more creatively.

Thatched roof huts That smell of cedar and sweat Red woven cloth Of Cahil Pech Ancient ruins with the holy ceiba tree The tree of life encompasses Both evil and harmony. Tortillas made of corn warm and sweet Black bean mash And flavored stewed meat Rice served with beans Fried plantains and fry jacks Colorful tables with conversation And huts with hammocks Howler monkeys That swing high over Xunitunich (shoe-na-tunich) Created to worship In temples so rich Some created in Pre classic peace Deep in the jungle In San Ignacio Belize Traditional Mayan Woven Cloth Mayan God Thatched Huts Xunitunich    Cahil Pech

You said you weren't  happy being together And your love was just a lie You said you never really loved me And that you didn't know why But then you walked right out the door  And let it shatter down Since then there's so much I have found!!!! And it doesn't really matter  The fact you walked away And it doesn't really matter That there's nothing left to say And I will be ... Everything will be alright Yes,  everything is alright.  Yeah,  Everything will be alright,  Yes, Everything is alright You took everything with you The day you left me there And you broke my heart in pieces Without any concern or care And I had to lift me off  the bedroom  floor and decide that I'm worth more! Cause it doesn't really matter..... That You finally walked away And it doesn't really matter That there's nothing left to say And I will be ... Everything will be alright Yes, everythi...

I'm a girl with daddy issues I won't let it bring me down. Thinking if I please him He'll decide to keep coming round. He always says I could do better Never had a good, kind word to say I can't keep livin (With his put downs-) For he's tearing my beauty away. I longed for him when I was younger I failed to secure any of his revere; Now I'm dating some men, Just tryin to fit in- And I keep wondering what's brought me here. Sometimes when I least expect it, an unkind word they'll say- And for some reason I think I deserve it- For causing them some sort of dismay. Daddy, daddy- Please don't treat me Not like your other hoes Daddy, daddy please show me- That I'm worth more than all of those. What I have to remember: My Daddy never would say, Never could say: soft, sweet things to me... My daddy-  My dad could never love nobody- - My daddy's dad's- treated him the same, My daddy- Never learned the lesson, he...

Keeping up appearances of doing what's right Not wanting our News Story-   on the street tonight. We've both got a sweet someone Waiting for us at home.  The night's twisted enchantment Leaves us tired and alone. Love is sometimes such a four letter word. It's demanding, all-consuming, and leaves humble beginnings blurred. Somedays this love affair seems too messy to continue. But it's too painful to end  And it's pulling at everything in you. All while he sleeps An innocent babe next to me He seems so sweet But I just can't leave. What kind of a person, Can do this to another? It's a woman that's  in love  with some other lover.
