American Words are deadly, use them with caution.
Is it really fake? The way we smile on the web and pretend things are great They way we search for the lost relationship we know we won't get back But in the the curves of the letters we can act like it's okay Pretend that those years weren't lost and that you were there Because photos speak a 1,000 words and they're everywhere On the web it may seem like its peachy keen and that we always had a love that was true. But the truth lies in what's unseen And there's nothing to change so for now I'm threw.

Not What It Seems
In the mist of the dark shadows Where my heart lies in the moonlight I found myself In dancing with the wind, and walking with the sun A new prospective of life arose Upon walking a different path I learned what it meant to be me

Discovery
Love doesn't come knocking at my door anymore The doormat is as unused as my emotions The feelings got pushed under the rug on the floor Silence is my new commotion Your absence was prominent, not a moment to spare My Happiness was sent in a new direction My heart beats with sounds of despair The pain hit me like an infection Wishfully pondering upon your return Reality is being shoved in my face I know you won't, when will I learn My pride I'll just have to embrace Living anew, reborn again; for life isn't what it seems sometimes I'll continue to live, with my head held high, I'm going to keep walking No matter the path, or the road, I'll continue to climb Moving along, wiser, I'll know when love comes back knocking.

Knocking at My Door
I can’t let you win, again From the moment I saw you I knew I lost I knew that things were over before it started because I was in love When you fall in love you lose, and that’s just the way it is All power was taken from beneath my feet Swept me up like dust under a rug and dragged me across the floor It stood up and laughed at me because I was weak And there’s no room for weakness here But your presence made my body writhe with satisfaction Kissing my body, and your hands tracing down my spine You made my body dance and move like no other Reacting to all the glides of your fingers on the small of my back Your breath, creeping down my neck My body burning with passion But once you felt the pressure you stopped You showed me who was in control You gave up and left me to fiend for myself It was like it never happened You walked away and I have to too, Because the moment I come crawling back.. Game over

Game Over
It over took me like a drug So absorbing to my body that giving in was my only option I let it sink into my body My veins My heart My brain caught on and gave in too I was different, Poisoned As it sank in, my vision was cleared That drug like a forbidden fruit gave me a rush The tip of my tongue quivered My whole body shivered, all of my senses satisfied The delight, Comfort set in and I began putting up with its side effects The uneasy feeling I got sometimes, Nothing compared to how it made me feel when I was first dosed I didn't care, I needed it, I craved it Truth set in and it wasn't what it appeared to be And ugly face under a beautiful mask It and betrayal went hand in hand Lies destroyed the beautiful But somehow I still wanted it Love

The Phases
If this is what dying feels like I'm halfway there I'm a living body But, my sole is elsewhere The way I'm feeling can't be real For don't absorb happiness. It's pain I feel. I'm nothing but flesh, veins and bones All that I suffer.. is alone Sometimes I feel like my stress will be my death If it is, my hurt will be put to rest Please help me out of all this Because this can't be what it feels like to exist.

Exist
For Christmas, I want you under a tree sitting with a bow saying you love me I want the distance to close just like my eyes do when I imagine you being here everyday I want to know that when I go to sleep it'll have been because it was your duty and when I wake up you'll still be next to me That the long conversations at night will be exchanged face to face And that our bodies will be the only thing between us The memories that swarm my mind will be shortened because we are making new ones as I remember the old The fights that weren't remembered and the kisses that were, provide laughter as we look back I want distance to not be the reason why I can't see you but time, time from our busy lives to make our way to each other I want you for Christmas cliche as it may be, my only wish is to wake up and see you under that tree holding a bow, and saying you love me.

For Christmas
Your touch can be as soft as a feather A trickling feeling my down stomach Tickling my body as your hands embrace me Or Your touch can be as aggressive as a wrestler I feel secure as you hold me Rough housing playfully as the night falls From the lips that place a kiss Feeling bliss as if it were my first Adding a burst of love and joy Your touch the only net I want my body to be caught by The feeling that I can fly when every I'm in your arms A feeling I never want to die

Your Touch
I'm forced to believe what I look like isn't beautiful Skin is in and bones are too also, If your over a size 2 you're fat Being tall is a must, lighter skin is a plus and long hair is a bonus. Magazines, television, radios; the media tells me what I should look like. But, what is the "media"? The media is an idea and everyone seems to want to be a part of it. They promote dangerous actions Bulimia, anorexia, weaves and make up; just without words The people behind the media should be revealed, they are probably fighting with themselves to look like what they advertise.

Beautiful
I'm sorry for all the tears I've cried, I'll keep re-hydrating with all the water I drink I'm sorry for all the times I've lied I didn't think I was good enough for the truth Sorry for all the times I'd hide you just weren't beautiful enough Sorry for being ashamed of who I am I'm just forced to believe what I am isn't the definition of  good
