I love to write poetry but I am going to school to become a nurse :) I love country and rock for music. Lily Mayfield is not my real name, only my pen name, but I dream that one day it will become a famous name for myself. I currently have over 140 poems and I will continue to write until the day I die, after all, it is better than hurting myself.
Oh, my dear,
Come to me.
Hear my screams,
Set me free.
I'm trapped,
Inside my mind.
I haven't snapped,
But I've gone blind.
Help me see,
I've lost my way.
You won't believe,
What I'm about to say.
I'm stuck inside,
Once more.
I can't be your bride,
You'll find me on the floor.
I lost my voice,
When I needed care.
I had a choice,
It wasn't a dare.
I've no more air,
I took my last breath,
But to you I swear,
I'll see you after death.

Four walls
A roof
And those days waiting for your calls
500 days
And you're still not here
You said always
But it's been over a year
First it was Thanksgiving
Then it was Christmas
I feel guilty
For being unforgiving
But you chose to miss this
I'm not the only one
We all shed tears
We hide it in the sun
And we'll hide it for years
You left us here
You went alone
You chose to disappear
Now we're all grown
Please come back home

Would you hear me,
If I screamed in your ear?
Come inside my mind tonight,
Will you love me in the morning?
I''m falling into an abyss.
Catch me if you can, and
Give me one last kiss.
I've already said good-bye,
Did you hear me?
I feel like I can fly.
I feel so free.
If you wait around forever,
I'll surely bring you down.
A promise of forever,
When you start to drown.
I've started descending.
Too far deep,
There's no defending.
I'll be your angel,
I'll watch over you dear.
I started drowning,
Without a warning.

Don’t get too close
You’ll crumble
It’s not the life she chose
But she doesn’t grumble
You’ll turn pale
You’ll become ash
This isn’t a tale
You’ll be gone in a flash
If you get near
You have a last request
Steer clear
Or death will infest
She’ll choose your fate
If you take another stride
She’ll find the right bait
And a grave she’ll provide
I warned you
I wasted my breath
Everything she touches
Turns to death

In bed we lay
We don’t speak
I don’t pray
Please don’t freak
I won’t beg on my knees
I won’t justify my sins
I won’t say please
And I won’t sing hymns
I don’t understand this hell
But I don’t need god
I can excel
Without that fraud
I’m sweet as can be
But stand for my rights
I want to be free
Not bound by unseen sights
Not everyone will concur
And I don’t really care
But if you must infer
Of no god am I aware

From the very first day
I had to have you
You looked my way
And I just knew
Your smile caught my attention
Your words drew me in
You left me in suspension
Now I’m happier than I’ve ever been
I’ll never leave your side
I’ll never hide away
Even if you died
I would never betray
I’m here for good
I’ll never leave
Like a good wife should
I won’t decieve
Take this as a dedication
Of my love to you
I have no hesitation
When I promise my love to you

I am so elated
No more sorrow
My scars have faded
I have a tomorrow
I was trapped
I was petrified
My life was undiscoverable
My life, you electrified
One smile
One look
More more dial
My breath you took
Forever and more
I’m no longer distraught
I have something to adore
In more than a thought

They’re broken
She can no longer fly
She spoke the unspoken
Everyone asked why
She held up her head
When her world was crashing down
She was brave
She stood tall
We watched her cave
We watched her fall
She bled and bled
Without a frown
We don’t understand
She had such grace
She ruled this land
She left this place
What a catastrophe
Such a surprise
She carried beauty
Why did she leave
This wasn’t her duty
Now we grieve
She lived with agony
We didn't see it in her eyes
Everybody sings
We wish she had woken
Her wings
They’re now broken

My dreams are better than reality
Don't wake me
Turn away from your morality
Leave my body be
For me there was no hope
Don't wake me
I just couldn't cope
The light I finally see
Maybe I'm with a god
Maybe I'm in a hell
Maybe I was a fraud
I'll never tell
Dry those tears
Don't wake me
I've had me years
Say good-bye to the lifeless me
I don't know where I'm going
Don't wake me
My blood has stopped flowing
Bury me under an oak tree

A force so hard
And colder than cold
No matter how you guard
It'll make a building fold
You can try to run
You can try to hide
There'll be no sun
You'll go down with the tide
The eye is suppose to be calm
But this one is full of rain
You can try to recite a psalm
But you'll only feel pain
No one can save you now
It's time to feel the hurt
Take your last bow
And fall to the dirt
The anger you couldn't contain
Has caused you endless rain
This isn't a normal hurricane
It's filled with pain
