			<title>To the Love I Cannot Yet See</title>
			<description>My life has come,Around, and around.Missing you every time.My soul it hears yours call my name,But can't make sense of the sound.The ocean fills the space between,So time doesn't let our fate drown. Please call my name just one more time, I think I've found some ground. My love, ..</description>

			<title>The Wounded Healer</title>
			<description>All my mind knows is depth,And my soul knows it needs to eat.So she feeds it with fire,And waters it down with greed. A life sustainable,One where I can breathe.But the valleys I crawl through,Don't compare to the flee.My heart knows much pain,And my soul knows it needs to be s..</description>

			<title>A New Love</title>
			<description>I know the way my body speaks to you is confusing.And all the ways you try to get to know me are tiring your light. But I hope you don't give up.I hope you try and try.Because I promise you, I'm trying too.Trying to make sense of what it is my heart is saying.And why it feels it can't mo..</description>

			<title>That Feeling</title>
			<description>Could my rope be tangled in the same knot? Was your heart really all I knew?From whose soul did you call mine?And did they know I needed you? I let go before I had the guarantee to fall.You let go before you had the chance to catch me.Our love in limbo.Our faith on earth.Intertwini..</description>

			<title>A New Place</title>
			<description>I tip toe around your heart like I can't feel its beat.Like I can't hear the echos every time I speak.Like its purity can turn mine black.I know this is what it seems,It is.But whose to say my armor isn't made of gold? And that my defenses arent merely sold? When you have made me F..</description>

			<title>Love's Harmony</title>
			<description>I talked to my angels and they said you are love.They showed me a picture of the stars you look up.And told me they form my silhouette.&amp;nbsp;I asked them then why I am hereand you are gone.And they showed me another picture,&amp;nbsp;but this time of a song.The first line was low, and touched the depths..</description>

			<title>No Tomorrow </title>
			<description>I wake up to my heart's numbed cry.Knowing its love is gone,Knowing it'll never know why.I pour my coffee, black as fate.And sip down all the memories&amp;nbsp;I refuse to replace.I get ready for the day and paint over the loss.Telling myself I will not fall victim to hope's cost.But if I had to choose ..</description>

			<title>Innocent Thief</title>
			<description>You took my smile and left my heart.Not knowing what to do with it.I took your kindness and left your hate.Not wanting any part of it.And I know we went our ways and took what&amp;nbsp;was given to us as our own.But my laughter has missed its rightful home.And your sweetness has left a cavity.&amp;nbsp;So w..</description>
