If

If
© N Noël May 2010




If I don’t try there’s nothing to miss
If the hearts’ door stays closed pain won’t exist
If I keep silent the truth won’t be known
These are the things my spirit keeps trying to own

If I don’t give there’s nothing to loose
No one can judge you til they’re in your shoes
If I don’t scream there won’t be pain
Just noises in my head driving me INSANE
Wrong or right my thoughts are rift
My mind keeps going through this paradigm shift

If, if, if, if the echoes of my past would quiet their roars
Maybe past hurts would heal, stop oozing like sores
If I knew the answers to all of these things
Would life begin new like a morning in Spring
Dare I take a chance and let someone in

If promises were kept would I have become this strong
Life can be simple we’re the complicated part
If it feels wrong in the beginning why even start
If is a word I repeat everyday
Choosing which path is a chore painful at times
Some choices good, others dismal, prolonged

If I were free from the shackles of my Soul
Would pleasure and trust be the gift I am sold
Is it worth it to take a chance
Or wait on the sidelines for a last dance
If is a word I repeat everyday
My heart’s still wavering, at bay

Thin Line

Thin Line
© N Noël May 2010


There’s a thin line between love and hate
Heart and mind flutter between this invisible gate
One wins over each other from time to time
There are moments of splendor followed by shadows of pain
All depends if there’s sunshine or rain

There’s a thin line between want and need
Some will nourish while others just feed
Caught between passion and a will so strong
Wavering between what is right
Or things that may go wrong
Wanting and lusting for that promise so true
The heart’s barrier raised high one minute
Followed by thoughts of love renewed

There’s a thin line between love and hate
One small crack can open the flood gates
Taking a chance is a gamble each day
Swaying like wheat in a field your heart at play
Next second it may end, rotting like tooth decay

Thin, Thin line between love and hate
Takes deep soul searching to allow the heart to escape
Letting go, freeing the mind
Hate becomes just a lookin glass
A lesson learned from another time

There’s a thin, thin line between love and hate
Choosing which wins over is between
CHANCE, CHOICE and FAITH
Nothing is promised from the choice we make
Trust in the path take it one day at a time
The journey is the Blessing just enjoy the ride

There’s a thin, thin line between love and hate
Choosing which wins over is between
CHANCE, CHOICE and FAITH
