24/F The best of me is yet to come
I held your hand As you said goodbye, and you shed a single tear It wasn't until then That the light bulb lit, And I saw my biggest fear I held you close Praying for strength Just needing you to be near I closed my eyes And sent up a prayer Begging Him to hear Please dont go I begged you so Between every tear Something worked I hope it was for me, But you decided to stay here

Stay
No words can do you justice But here I am to try, I think of you every day I just can’t say goodbye I miss the way you made me feel Like nothing really mattered And every time I think of you My heart gets re-shattered But now you breathe with the wind And your smile fuels the sun You may have left the world behind But your time is never done You shape the clouds for me to see And I look at them and smile It does not stop the pain But it’s better for a while

Our Time Together
Wind blows through my hair The grass soft against my feet Everything seems fair Even constrained in my seat I have plenty of food I'm safe and warm Even if it's crude I'm part of the norm I'm sent to a place That is padded ceiling to floor I play with my dress' lace While I sit there and bore This is my punishment for speaking I acted out to Him The one who's been 'tweaking' Me since life turned grim Awful things happen here But I'm grateful too That I don't live with fear The one I once knew This punishment is minor I've had it a time too many For asking about her shiner And counting to twenty If I continue rebelling And I do worse Then spelling I'll ride off in a hearse I've been taken to a big crowd I'm out of that room That's when it went loud And I heard a BOOM That's the day I was found The day I was me I heard no other sound But those of glee I never understood What I hadn't been told And now I think how could My parents never want to hold Me That was the day I was taught a word One of beauty and glory A word that I heard That is its own story A story so sweet Saying I didn't need 'em That I could meet A world of freedom

Prisoner
sunshine and high heels thrumming music how do you feel? pulverized hearts and love smashed to smithereens a silver bullet stops the wolverine but nothing can stop my love by any means

Any means
You'll probably never read this And I guess it's for the best I'm still picking up the pieces Well, at least the ones that you left My friends all say I'm crazy That I should give up and move on But it's easier said than done When I've wanted you for so long Don't think that I blame you Because really I am at fault I'm shy, and blended in And she stood out to you...

To You
When people look at me I wonder what they say But maybe I am better off Not knowing, in this way They tell us go to school Better yourself this way But how am I gaining When I lose myself each day Walking through the halls Whispers can be heard School can be torture If you are deemed a nerd Bullying free zone That's what the teachers say They don't see it as it happens But we see it every day What if I could just end it One girl asks on the brink As she picks up her razor And sits down on the sink A second and I'll be done Never to hear again The question isn't "Will it happen?" It should just be "When?" So if you see a person Sitting there alone Sit down right beside them Show them that they're known

To the boy with tear stained cheeks...
Running down the court Listening to the screaming of the fans Feeling the beating of my heart As the coach yells out all the plans Standing in the huddle At the end of all the games Looking at the team Who have been there through the fight Walking down the halls With the jerseys shining bright Awaiting the game And another win tonight

Basketball
When the skies rain fire And there's nothing else to lose When the sun stops rising And we live in a world of blues When the stars crash to earth And all thats left is darkness When the moon burns out And we have nothing but the ashes When our world starts to die And we only have each other When the ocean runs dry We can search for something better

When the world starts to die...
My world went tumbling down When you decided to walk away The reason I may never know But I think about it everyday Sometimes I miss the days When we still were together Now they are just a daze But I will dream of them forever
