If I gave you a moment

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

Drink your coffee and sip your tea
think you did right by somebody
Soon you will see
How well you have done
what will your final grade be
Can you be happy with it
Live with the guilt
Turn around and see the damage
An accident in slow motion
You can't turn away or stop it
It's to late to change it but what if

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

You rewind in your mind
Play it over wish to re-record again
But you can't do another take
You already printed it
It's out in the world now
The moment has passed
It will always last
It might be forgotten
But it may not be forgiven
No do overs in this
BUt if you had a second chance
What would you do with it
How would you handle it

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

It goes and it comes
You say what you think they want
But do you feel that way
Times change so do we
Hard as it is to believe
Say you do for others
What happens when the timer buzz's
Do you stay true or do you run
Promises don't always come true
Broken and bruised we become
Tossed around so much
Jaded from so much stuff

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

Hit replay in your mind
Pause and hold that moment
Wish what you could change
Know it's never going to be the same
Hold on to your words
Use them with care
Stand up, climb to the top
see your moment clear
Make it count when you can
Cause in that moment that's all you get

If I gave you a moment
What would you do with it
Could you make things right
Would you tell the truth
In that moment could you
do what you needed to do
Make things right
Fight with all your might
Make this moment count
You can't go back in time
If you had a moment
What would you do

The Effects

Time ticks on and my mind goes array
Thoughts are carrying me away
I worry about what will happen
my choices affect so much
Time will tell me what to do eventually
But I am not sure I can wait that long
I wonder if I can figure it out as I sing my song

Ripples in the water are our choices
They run across so much
Flap my wings and be selfish
But I can't help but wonder what Tsunami might come
I can't bring that down on anyone
Which way should take off

Everyday we just make choices
Not knowing what they do
We think they might not hurt anyone
But in a way they effect everyone
I don't want to cause rocky waters
I don't want to sink someones boat
But choices have to be made so I think as I go on

Ripples in the water are our choices
They run across so much
Flap my wings and be selfish
But I can't help but wonder what Tsunami might come
I can't bring that down on anyone
Which way should take off

How do we live knowing
That we have caused pain someplace
Broken relationships become of our choices
At times it is hard to just listen
But they keep telling me to put me first
Be selfish its worth it
Not sure if it truly is

Ripples in the water are our choices
They run across so much
Flap my wings an be selfish
But I can't help but wonder what Tsunami might come
I can't bring that down on anyone
Which way should take off

Ripples, wings flap
Winds change
It's a fact it effects
Everything

Make-up remover - Dreams

I sleep.. The dreams come filled with many things. Some good, some bad and some just there. But with my eyes closed  I have no control over what comes and goes in my head. So much time has come since things ended. Your voice barely something I can recall in a waken state. Yet my dreams lately have been filled with you. Not of some fantasy that will never come to be being rescued  from the depths of a cave after being kidnapped by vikings. Lost on a trip into the wilderness and saved by a handsome  woodsman that know the woods so well and keep me company and helps me and we fall in love. None of that, not even close. No they are filled of every day things. watching TV and talking about the shows or stupid things people say on Facebook.

Sitting on the couch watching you put together something and getting mad and I laugh under my breath. Things that are normal. Everyday happening things. Never dream of you coming back and telling me your sorry for leaving and hurting me. They are like nothing bad ever happened. I can feel myself smiling while I am sleeping. The happiness from the dreams wash over me and take over while the rest of the world can't see and goes on. These are things that could very well happen and could be. But then I waken. I am in bed with you not laying next to me. and the sadness and pain form when you left that has taken a long time to get over comes back with a vengeance. The tears stream down my face. the happiness I once felt that was real not just a dream is gone and I am reminded of how it left.

Left with a hole once again, one that I thought had healed over. Like putting salt in a very fresh wound it stings and hurts. A scar that no one can see but me. No one will ever know how much it hurt or how big it is. Covered up with smiles and "I'm fine" or "Everything is great in my life" No one will know the truth that lays beneath the lies only my dreams will tel me that I am not over you nor will I ever get over you. Does time really heal all wounds, or does it just help you figure out how to cover them up like a blemish on your face you cover with make-up? All I know is that no matter what you tell your brain, no matter what you convince yourself you feel. Your heart and dreams will always remind you of the truth of the happiness you had and the sadness that it leaves you filled with now.

So each day, after my dreams end, I will put on my "make-up" and cover up the blemish that lays deep inside.
