I hear from people that my words inspire That my songs touch hearts, set souls on fire Many see themselves in every line I write In every rhyme, they find their light I speak of love, I speak of pain Of battles fought, and strength regained I don’t confine myself to just one theme I want my words to travel, to live, to dream But all of this is just a mask I wear For love’s a game I’ve failed to share Ten steps from paradise, I'm pulled back again Back to the start, where heartache begins When I get close to love, my wings give way They see someone I'm not, and love slips away A reverse spell breaks the fairy tale I’ve spun Leaving me lost, undone, under the Sun Who will catch me if I fall? Who will teach me how to fly at all? Is there a path to paradise above? Until that day, I’ll share my words of love But all of this is just a mask I wear For love’s a game I’ve failed to share Ten steps from paradise, I'm pulled back again Back to the start, where heartache begins Who will break my fall if I fall? Will someone teach me to fly through it all? Is there a way to reach that place? To feel the warmth of love’s embrace? Until that day, until it’s real I’ll light the path with words I feel Sharing my best, my heart, my art A poet’s love, a healer’s heart
