Not even a smile to put on
Not even a chuckle that amuses
Hiding behind a mask
Guessing at what is underneath
Unsure of what to do
Sit beneath a tree and cry
Listening to my youth die away
Where has my heart gone to
Where has my childlike tendencies wandered off to
Here again
All alone at the end of the day
Waging war on my emotions
Strength departing leaving me in a weakened state
Facing the world is a daily hassle
This is not a fairytale
No fiction lies beyond this point
This is reality crashing down
And at the end of the day
I take off this mask
And when the sun rises
It goes on again

Time after time I wonder why am I still here
A victim of life and her torture
Leaving me in this world
Where I am going mental
Slowly each day I find it hard to wake up
And face the sun that continues the shine
Why have the leaves turned green?
The winter was a companion of mine
Who ran away
Without reason I continue to make my bed
And lay in it with only my thoughts to accompany me
Where have the friends gone to?
Why are my thoughts my only friends?
I seek comfort in the arms of another
For hope that one day
I will stop wondering why
Why my questions have not been answered
Why I still stand alone
Why I question myself
Why love was so hard to find
Why life was given to me
Why I choose to ask why

God graced us with your presence
And although it was brief
We were blessed to have you in our life.
Nothing could ever change the joy you brought
The laughter you graced us with
The smiles that brightened our day
Although they are gone
One day we will be reunited.
And even then we will be smiling
Like nothing was ever wrong from the start.
Heaven took its angel
Saying he was needed
But that he would watch over us all.
God sent an angel to protect us
And now that his job is done
He’s watching from Heaven.
Sending us messages in subtle ways
Letting us know everything will be okay.
And although our hearts are breaking on this day
And our world has dimmed a little
The candle flickering in the wind
Know it shall never be put out
And we will never let your memory fade
And your love will never be replaced in our hearts.
One day we will see you again
And the world will be lit up
And we shall laugh and rejoice
Forever in eternity
A delicate flower that swayed in the wind
Wilted for a time
But life has breathed into it a second time
Giving it a second chance at life
But we cannot see it nor feel it
But know that it is there
Invisible but a guiding light
Like a lighthouse guiding ships from their watery graves
An unseen force pushing us to our limits
The sweet aroma leading us to our desires
A hand showing us that life will continue to go on

Farewell my snow white queen
Your company was delightful
I will never forget the beauty you showed me
Nor the pleasures enjoyed in your presence
Once again I must say farewell
To a beautiful snow white queen
That captured my heart

It was love at first sight
Everything you said was true
"Come here," you said
"You are a star...my star
My darling, I love you"
Translated into English from Italian (Amore)
Andie Lately Mar 2010
E stato amore a prima vista
Tutto cio che dici e vero
Vero amore
"Vieni qui," disse
"Tu sei una stella...la mia stella
Cara mia, ti voglio bene"
Originally written in Italian

Love the world
Know that the pain of the heart is just one day
And when time feels like life is lost
And when the hope in your eyes is broken
And tears are anything but sweet and joyous
When your drunken stupor has left you in the air
Without a tightrope
I am there
