Confessions I feel the burning stares against my face Nervousness boiling from my cheeks from the taste Hoping Im pretty enough to deserve your gaze Lost in this impossible phase
Provide me directions to the pit of your stubborn heart Sparingly cracking, shattering apart I read your actions, you love me too So why dont you do whats best for you?
I suppose I ought to vanish, just walk away Youre not going to hurt me, not today But its too late, I sob alone Too many chances Ive already blown
I dont deserve you; youre the last thing I desire But when it comes to necessities, you are the fire The taunting flames licking me closer with ease Then snapping me away, shoving me to my knees
But youll never drift past the immature side Sacrificing popularity and taking me as your bride Although we'll never go further, one fact will always remain You are my fire, and I am your rain
Comparisons Slide that darn smile off your face It may be meant for her, but I'm the one noting your actions.
Let me admire the grin you flash her She may enjoy it, but I'm addicted to it.
Allow me to slip my hand in yours Her eyes may be shiny, but mine are glowing.
Force my lips against your own She may like you, but I love you.
Scars The taste is bitter and lonely on my tongue Having to experience such pain so young And while my hearts throbbing Sobbing, sobbing
Was it a lie, I doubt it Either way I hope hes happy about it I thought I was being clever and cunning Running, running
Away from the hurt Away from the sting Away from every phrase, touch or thing Aching, aching
Another scar on my punctured heart Too many wounds from the start But God is breathing down my neck Healing, healing
And the marks of hurt begin to fade This feeling Id never trade I have a new heart with a new soul Getting over you is my goal And through it all Through the piercing thorn My living healers are there when I am torn Comforting, consoling My pain is rolling Away In replace is confidence This scratch will not stay
You'll Never See In the beginning All is dreamy Nothing mangled, nothing steamy Because you loved me Or so I thought A fib that was much too easily bought
For if you loved me Or if I meant What you said I did before the torment Then it wouldnt have mattered To me or to you And opinions would be something we could quickly subdue
In the middle Its all too quiet But my hearts guilty of causing the riot Because you became hers As the months scuttled by A fact I wish that I could deny
I know you like her But under the surface Youre wondering if shes really all worth it Because love for the one You truly adore Is not found in her, but your crush before
In the end Its your poor loss Another stab, another toss Of questions But youll never see What would have happened if youd chosen me.
Irreplacable
The painful jealousy inside me has never been so throbbing And his actions towards her can still leave me sobbing Cringing at every sparkle in the eye Every discrete, nervous blush from the girl or the guy Leaves me broken into pieces that are too small to see Being consumed by the waking monster within me
I didn't think I could take any more affection Staring at the tender eyes in my lonely reflection Seeing them walking through the halls hand in hand Is an event too often that I can barely stand The envious, pale tears drip in private
Now that you're a couple, I don't want to face it All the phrases we exchanged, I just want to erase it And alone in my room, devoured by thoughts Discouraging ones that leave me distraught Quite firmly, I don't approve
Grazing from the sidelines, it takes self control To avoid myself from erupting because interrupting is my goal They're chortling joyfully, the new relationship is perfect I sure hope so because he is definitely not worth it But then why is my adoration untamable?
And she can hold him all she wants Make the kisses wetter But I know deep inside He's wondering why she isn't better.
Young Love
Glancing secretly at him Catching his gaze every now and then Blushing Quickly turning away Longing Wanting
His tender eyes full of laughter Cant stop gazing, cant stop adoring Giggling Softly craving love Longing Wanting
He flips his hair out of his eyes My heart pounds fiercely Wondering Is he good for me? Longing Wanting
His gentle stare I feel I get a fast glimpse of his gaze Fretting Do I look alright? Longing Wanting Trusting fate to do its best Hoping Pleading Oh, young love
Hurt
So, so dark That cold remark. Tearing, fearing, forever loneliness. I cannot cope with the world of black, An after-attack. The constant mope, The ring of his voice, The rumble, the tingle, Only hope.
Slightly saddened, I sit up. The slope is as steep as his trust. That liar, I sigh. Though quite forlorn, I couldve sworn, It was never much more. Forgotten, faded, Only hope.
The fear is heavy, The vulnerable mope, Cannot be trusted, cannot cope. Forbidden fright chills my bones. He didnt care, he didnt, nope. His words were careful. Only hope.
Stripped to the end, The end of my rope, Clutching my knees, I cannot cope. Tearing, fearing, Gloomy memories. The hope has faded. No more hope.
Fire and Sand
Her matted sandy fur Brushed against fire Her emerald eyes burned With love and desire.
The cold in her breath The soft in his tone The drone of the air Chilled every bone.
His heart ached with pain Hers thumped with pride For the trip hed soon take That meant leaving her side.
He twisted his tail Up around hers Comfortably distinguishing Their soft rumbling purrs.
Scooting close into His heaving, ginger flank She recalled the departure ahead And her beating heart sank.
His eyes grazed over The eager, lush land And he snuggled closer Fire and Sand.
It couldnt have been simpler, a stupid girl and a stubborn guy The one with the denim skirt made a decision The one wearing the ineffective belt missing golden opportunities
And the question gnawing at my heart is hollowing Do you ever miss the future? Forcing myself to build up confidence Im not ready to face
And just when Im feeling comfortable Courageous and weightless above the world My strings of trust snap like brittle candy
Falling is difficult as you flicker through my mind The tears from my confused eyes descend as freely as my body The position is hard to tackle
I wish I could land softly in your supportive arms The simple touch awakening our spirits And with connected eyes, the reality is visible
But as I glare at the murky sky Aching against the bone-breaking ground Realization of your worthless absence has never been crueler
As your beautiful image begins to fade away The thought is merely heartbreaking It couldnt have been simpler, a stupid girl and a stubborn guy The uncertainty leaking from your lies Simplicity Thats all it came down to
Another Step Forward
Devoured without chewing By the foggy memories
Reminiscing the incidents, Pressing replay continually
Wishing the taste would last forever My heart burns with admiration
The genuine, lovable grin Never escaping my mind
Your eyes would never fib Directly to my face
I hope youre just as cursed as I am A spell cast that prohibits any thoughts irrelevant of me
Decoding your actions while juggling my emotions Has never been easier
Today we are friends Tomorrow something greater
Freeze The dusty video tapes roll robotically on the little T.V. The picture so surreal The scene dramatically unusual The days you would lean in for a photo on Christmas Generously giving each other gifts Chortling together The times you politely answered my questions With a sweet voice When I would innocently ask I suppose we never truly got along But the old days flowed so much more smoothly I know you hate me now But I genuinely love you And with my back pressed against the wooden bed Staring blankly at the flashing videos It couldnt have been real The tears stream As swiftly as an indigo waterfall Down my rosy cheeks Chilly from the melting snow outside I cry And I think Back then Did I ever know? Did I ever make an attempt at freezing the perfect moment And thinking "Right here, right now."
