Mother Nature knew...

Wind brings us the power to move

Earth gave us a reason to be

Water brought us the ability to flow

And

Fire made others fear the above

A shell of a man pretending to be
sitting at the mirror all day
but still he cannot see
the world has betrayed him
is what they say
lights, camera and stage ready for his rage
ashes to ashes, dust to dust
can he not see what the truth may be?
he is broken like a cheap guitar
strings tightened so far beyond repair
his past, his wrongs are his despair
people laugh and throw stones at him
he will soon see when the lights slowly dim
he is alone and alone he will stay
the music will end and so will he
a shell of a man pretending to be

Erinn Samantha Soule

lonely he sits in a room dimly lit
no direction not sure where he fits
sailed in for just a short time
shipping out after his last gin with lime
the bartender his only friend
offering advice on romantic trends
brings to mind a familiar face
a long lost love in a far away place
rum, sherry, wine and beer
brought him to his own lonely port
of cocktails, brew and leftover stew

Erinn Samantha Soule

There's nothing more for me to say
guess i'll take it day by day
i know i was wrong,so how do i make it right?
I know i'll be lonely when day turns
to night,and i don't know where to start
to mend this broken heart
guess i'll take it day by day
I tried to give it my all,
but even the bestof us can fall,
guess i'll take it day by
day; there isn't any more to say
i'm trying my love,day by day
i love you more day by day

Erinn Samantha Soule

I would give anything to walk in a dream,
all you would see would be blue skies
and streams. The birds would sing
and church bells would ring;I would give anything to walk in a dream.
When day turns to night it seems so cold
but the moon tells the stars to shine
so bold,and really it is quite a sight
to see when you are able to
walk in a dream

Erinn Samantha Soule

I've spent so many tired years
unable to free myself from my tears.
you never had a price to pay for what
you did that miserable day. The life
you gained was my eternal pain.You
trapped me in your living hell,
thinking i would never tell.Every night
I saw your face twisting and turning
in my dreams,staring at me with your
stone cold eyes and laughing at my
silent cries.If you could see me
now, picking up the broken pieces, I
found a new path and am finally free.
The happiness I have gained will now
be your eternal pain.

Erinn Samantha Soule

I've been waiting all my life
for the exact moment just to be right
you standing in front of me, guiding my way
You and me tonite, really could be the night
a love fantasy that my heart keeps crying, longing and desire
I need you in my arms tonight, I need to love you until
the lonliness and fear is gone 
my heart is lying when it tells me you are gone forever
Tonite may never come again my love
tonite could be the nite

Erinn Samantha Soule

Can one forgive me the mistakes I've made
Or cry with me aloud,
For I have already paid and will never feel proud.
Can one help me understand my confusion within?
Was it right or just a sin?
Often feeling it was an illusion.
My reality burns, yet another page in my life turned.
One man's life ended, my child, I defended.
I carry the guilt and feel the pain, yet my life I finally gained.

Erinn Samantha Soule

Freedom rings, so now i can sing
loud and clear for all to hear
I have waited for so long to hold
my life and correct all that was
wrong. Freedom rings, so let me
sing, I have been set free and my
eyes now see, everything that grows
and blooms, is maturing right in
front of me.

Erinn Samantha Soule

You said...I would never amount
You said...I wouldn't do without
You were wrong when it came to your doubt
everything I did was always about
a bigger picture in life than you would ever see
a path for myself without you...and made by me
Laugh, cry throw your stones...your envy has made me
who I want to be...without ever having to say
You said...I would never amount
You said...how could that be?
I am what you never thought...I am ME

Erinn Samantha Soule

I remember when the two of you were so
tiny and new. Each of you a seperate
year, but still in my heart your dear.
To me, your Angels one and two, and
that you will always be. So as you
grow older and build your own lives,
just remember as sure as the stars
shine at night, Angels one and two
you'll always be, Angels one and two always to me.

Erinn Samantha Soule

Sitting by my window here
raindrops tapping the window pain
watching the trees far and near
sweet memories of innocent youth
like the smell of newly fallen maple leafs
memories without pain
simplicity of rain
sitting by my window here
quiet sounds of sunshine warmth
gives me thoughts of simple truths
perched ontop of the window pain

Erinn Samantha Soule

One will wither away
when the time comes for their very last day
shed a tear not my friend
for our spirits will never stray
when you see the sun shimmer on the waters top
when you see a small part in the clouds far away
that is my love following you every step of the way
a flower will bloom a seed will fall
and soon a new day without a tear dropped
you will laugh...you will love...you will see
my smile for you from up above.

Erin Samantha Soule

You brought me into this world
full of hopes and dreams
your eyes filled with gleam
something happened along the way
something that shattered that dream
I grew older with every sleeping night
you grew distant with every passing day
I grew wiser both day and night
bringing us to this silent fight
I have always yearned for your approval and love
you have always prayed for a perfect dove
people are not perfect, people do cry
my love though has never been a lie
Forgive me our sins this daily bread
My soul cannot survive this lifelong tread
One day you will see I needed you
lets hope we awake before we die
to forgive the mistakes that quietly lie
beneath the surface of a girl and her dad is a girl of the color blue

Erinn Soule

I look out at the horizon
I know I've seen this place before.
Foggy, cold but yet strangely old.
I know i've seen this place before.
Is it whispers or just the wind?
I know I've seen it all before.
Trapped in my thoughts, my mind
wanders, standing as still as the
cold blue waters. Whispers, screams
it's all the same just as is stays
from day to day. I can't imagine
letting go and giving up all that
i know, but there comes a day when
it's time to go, i'm tired and gray
as i look in the mirror I've grown
old. I know I've seen this place
before. Lonely, cold but strangely
okay. Now my friend it is time to
go, time for me to follow him home.

Erinn Samantha Soule

The words that flow from my heart to my
pen, are mine and mine alone again.
The thoughts that flow from my head to
yours, are mine and mine alone again.
Who are you to take what is not yours?
and leave behind the bones washed ashore
You took my words that made you a star

and i think you know who you
really are. My heart is real my soul
as well, your little secret is not mine
to tell, but i'm guessing you don't
sleep too well. The words that flow from
my heart to my pen are mine and mine
alone again, and those thoughts well those
are mine and mine alone my friend.
