You're The One
Andie Lately Nov 2012
Heaven true
I can tell you're the one

Heaven true
Now I can finally say

Heaven true
I think I love you

Our two hearts intertwined
Perfect combination

You found me
In the most unexpected place

You came running
Held my hand tightly as you screamed run

Heaven true
You're the one

Sophia
Andie Lately Nov 2012
You're wondering all alone
Walking among shadows
Hiding behind trees, living in fear

You're scared
Trying to find someone, anyone
To be your savior

Sophia
When we find you
You're not yourself

Still Waiting
Andie Lately Nov 2012
Am I still waiting for you to sing of your love?
How long have I sat here?
A statue

You have not blinked in so long
I begin to fear I will not move at all
Your lips have not pressed against the microphone

And even if you tried
Nothing would come out
Not even a mutter

You have lost your voice
To bitterness and loneliness
Now you will find solace in waiting around a bottle

Do You Dare?
Andie Lately Nov 2012
Do you dare to take your chance?
Saying goodbye was never your style of romance
Was I too thrilling for your taste?
Darling, you are oh so boring
But how do I get over you?
Knowing you are unforgettable
Knowing you are a permanent scar
Nov 2012 · 376
Carried Away
Andie Lately Nov 2012
I feel the night fading away
Will you be carried away
In the winds that blow fiercely
Swept away to unknown lands
Shall I stay swaying
Swaying to a gentle breeze that never uproots me
Will you be carried away
By my loving words
Nov 2012 · 346
Count the Days
Andie Lately Nov 2012
Count the days until you are mine once again
Who knows when the dance will begin again
Two weeks without your voice
Seems like a lifetime

Wishing time would pass by
Just so I can be in your embrace
To hear your words charm me
Let me fall into you

I count the days until I can see you once again
Wishing time would fast forward
Waiting for the day you come back to me
Count the days until I am yours

Mine to Love
Andie Lately Jul 2012
You were mine to hold for a minute
Now that the minute has passed
We're right at the beginning once again
And now we've come to realize

No matter how hard we tried
You were never bound to me
And I was never bound to you
So here we are at the beginning again

You were mine
If only for a minute
You were mine to hold for now
But your love belonged to somebody else

And just when I had you
You left without warning
Now here I am
Walking all alone, knowing you were never mine to love

Summer Love
Andie Lately May 2012
The first and last summer that meant everything to me
I found everlasting love underneath a mirror ball
Where the rhythms kept me moving all night
It was only love for you that kept me going

The late nights spent listening to the radio
Just to hear our song played once more
Even as we fought, we would make it through the night
Because our love was strong

Heaven knows how much I miss you
But our love will last an eternity
The love I felt for you was all too real
And now you are gone

But I should let you know
No one could show me the dancefloor like you could
And no one could ever love me like you did
The last dance will always be yours

Oh darling
You changed the way I thought and felt
And I want you to know
The last dance belongs to you

LIII
Andie Lately May 2012
For once in my life
I am glad you are not here
The deception, your evil ways
They clash with me
And in me
You are not here
And I am thankful for that
Andie Lately May 2012
Shining under L.A. spotlights now
The nights spent drinking and sleeping under a million stars in Carolina
Playing hide and seek underneath the bridge

Crazy antics every night
From singing in the rain to brawls in the bar
Never again shall we know this

And we are moving on, moving up
Finding that it was merely just one of one nights
Moving on with someone new, moving up into a higher place in the world

It all seems so far away now
The places we were meant to be
All of it a distant memory

You gave me false hope into remembering that it was forever
The places we were meant to be, the memories we were to share, were never going to exist
I feel the memory of you, the resonance of your voice turning to white noise

All that you said, all that you were
All the time that you gave
Gave me enough to change my memories
May 2012 · 424
Am I Dreaming?
Andie Lately May 2012
Here I am
Standing in a nightmarish world
Hear the footsteps approach
But nothing in sight
A deafening siren but no panic

There is a storm coming in
There is no way to stop it
The darkness looms over the city
Drowning all those stuck in this so called paradise
Leaving them stranded in a lost world

Dark and silent, no clue as to what surrounds my body
Beckoned by an intimate calling
Is what I see real? Is what I hear true?
I know nothing of this world
Tell me, am I dreaming?

Stay This Way
Andie Lately Apr 2012
You showed me I could create such beauty
I wondered when that would fade away
I want it to stay this way

You held my hand a moon ago
As we fell asleep side by side
I want it to stay like this

You taught me how to swim in mighty rivers
Even though I was scared of diving in

You make me feel love
I wondered how long it could last
I want it to stay this way

You told me not to feel the pain when you left
I wondered when time could bring you back to me
I want you to stay with me

You came crashing and went running
And I wondered how can it stay this way
Apr 2012 · 478
Too Far
Andie Lately Apr 2012
Caught up in this state of emotion
Where to turn, where to go
How do I deal with such matters of insignificance?
I am captive within these confines of my mind

Hung up in these thoughts of you
Wishing I could start anew all over again
Without the thought of you haunting me
Wishing I had never spoken

Too many times I found myself in these circumstances
Wondering how far I can go before I lose all hope
How deep do I dig until I lose the light
I went too far and lost sight of what I was looking for
Apr 2012 · 595
Did It Again
Andie Lately Apr 2012
You try so hard to please everyone
So someone will love you once again
Meaningless, tedious, tiresome tasks
Just to hear someone's praise

And you think to yourself
"I've done it again"
When all you hear is you could do better
And the happiness fades back to black

Always losing to other perfection
And feeling second best
All while thinking
"You did it again"

Again, again
I still feel you in my arms
No more lonely nights
Giving up my heart to you
Forever is now

Ocean Blue
Andie Lately Mar 2012
Waves wash over me
Cleaning me of my sins
Drowning in a sea of eternal love
Reaching up to touch the light
Embracing the warmth of the love
Dancing in the water
Smiling
Falling into an ocean
Falling into the strongest of arms
Falling
Into happiness
Mar 2012 · 364
You and I
Andie Lately Mar 2012
I am wondering who you are
And why you came
Those piercing eyes
With an innocent smile
A familiar face in an unfamiliar world

Midnight has come and gone
And your presence is overwhelming
Stirring up a past longed to be forgotten
And now I'm haunted

You're in control
And your voice breaks the silence
I'm not where I should be
Just let go of you and I

Giving You Up
Andie Lately Mar 2012
I used to know a boy
Before I gave him up
I've no idea where he's run off to
Far away I hope
Not from the world
Not from monsters
But from me, into the arms of others

I once knew a boy
Who showed me colors
Opened my eyes
Opened my heart
Opened up a new world to see
I once gave up a boy
For all others to see as I saw
Mar 2012 · 348
Stars
Andie Lately Mar 2012
I want to see the stars collide
I want to believe in the magic
I want to live for tonight
Live for something so beautiful

I want to believe that the stars collide
I want to feel the energy come alive
I want to live for tonight
Live so free

And it feels like the stars aligned so perfectly
I want to see through forever and ever
I want the dream to come alive
I want to believe tonight is who we are
Feb 2012 · 462
Endsong
Andie Lately Feb 2012
The loneliness and sorrow have settled in
Giving you up was inevitable
You were already gone
And I was not long behind

It made no difference
This was always the ending we were coming to
The silence was a comfort
And we cannot salvage our broken selves

Same Old Suburban Bullshit
Andie Lately Feb 2012
To wander through a hazy world
Leaving trails of vanishing footprints
The crying game over with
T’was all for nothing
Glad to have met the devil on this personal trek

Shedding a shell
Awakening new senses
Going to a deeper high
Where finding a voice is ordinary but surreal
Peace and terror in this future life beginning

Going deeper into the fog
Playing melodies as the veil lifts
Walking through the same streets
Never felt so good in this same old suburban *******
Never felt this high as before

Nightlife
Andie Lately Jan 2012
Innocence in the sunlight
Lose all your inhibitions in the nightlife
A feeling so freeing
Intoxicated with the moonlight
Drinking in its radiant beams
Such a feeling

Memory of You
Andie Lately Jan 2012
Come down from this high
Reality crashing down on this illusion
The silence deafening and unwelcome
Waking up alone, vision a blur
The companionship once had, now long gone
A mere memory
Nothing more
Wishing the memory of you into shifting sands

I let the days run on by
The silence a comfort
Taking time in the still
To ponder
To fade into nothingness

Disremembrance
Andie Lately Jan 2012
The times shared are no longer memorable
The friendships once unbreakable had severed
The jealousy and bitterness piercing from stares
The sweetness in the air has dissipated
Facing towards strangers
Forgetting what was once there
No one remembers my name or my face
Recalling events is an effort
The candles have grown shorter
And we are older
Barely wiser
This is not home anymore
This is not for me
Jan 2012 · 522
To The 9's
Andie Lately Jan 2012
Here we go again
Painting the town with you
Smiles are the last to go on
Making Hollywood add two more stars
A permanent memory
Embedded in concrete
Revitalizing our minds
Never dull being with you
Let the music dress us
Top hat and all
Love in us
The party never ends
The music never stops
The dancing continues
The love eternal

Honestly
Andie Lately Jan 2012
Carrying the burden of others
Listening to trouble tales
Never ending
Always sought to be the wise one
Why bother coming here
When you're only going to break your heart
Life is so hard for you
Love will never find you
So many woes you talk of
Blame everyone but yourself
Your inaction is your demise

Sunset River
Andie Lately Jan 2012
The eye slowly watches
As the world turns
Waiting the return of a starry night
"Remember me" the sun pleaded
Hues colour the sky
Orange and pink
Light bouncing off spectacles
Although temporarily blinded
An angel in my peripheral
Ants scurrying to their hill
Mirrors echo your beauty
Dreaming of the imitation
Dec 2011 · 528
Blue
Andie Lately Dec 2011
I see the sadness in your eyes
The smile fading from your face
The sparkle in your eye is gone
Sitting there
Deep in thought
Sitting in an empty pool of transparent tears
Being swallowed by the sea
Baby blue eyes
Dry your tears
And smile like you used to
And laugh like we used to
Baby blue eyes

Love The Risk
Andie Lately Dec 2011
Falling in love with you
Is it worth it?
Endured the heartache before
Many romances brief
Very few impacts
Only you leave me shocked

I love the risk of love
Traveled near and far
In the city of lights
With angels playing my heartstrings
I fell in love
With you

Electro Luck
Andie Lately Dec 2011
Automatic love
Dazzled by my charms
In a trance
Led by my gestures

Slow

Kissing the past like a lover
Feeling lovely tonight
We become one
Two hearts intertwine

No longer functioning properly
Systems overloaded
Free of virtuality
Electro luck we are

Sensory Overload
Andie Lately Dec 2011
Colors flood my vision
Sounds unimaginable
Achieving pleasure and pain
The world is spinning around
To the sound of music
Flashing lights give way
In a trance
Feeling the intensity of the spectrum
Immobilized
Sound waves pounding
Laying in a pool of color
Dazzled by the sound and color
Enchanted by its deliverance
Encompassed by neon lights
Ravaged by the beats
Overwhelmed
Dec 2011 · 658
Pandora's Box
Andie Lately Dec 2011
The feeling you left me with
The impression you made
The kindness and warmth of you
The caring attitude you showed

You make me feel
As if you've just opened a locked door
Kept away from the world for so long
Emotions run for the exit

Any resistance towards you is futile
Any passion will be fulfilled until the end
A friend to remember, a love to remember
I will never forget the music played when you opened the box kept hidden in me

Busyness
Andie Lately Nov 2011
Busyness is rampant every day
Running our lives
No time to play
No time to love
No time to relax
What is the point of going on
When you cannot even dance?
Enjoy yourself

To Love
Andie Lately Nov 2011
To love
To the greatest joy and sorrow ever felt
To the happiness and sadness known to humans
To love

Falling in love with you
Like a movie melodrama
Dancing across the beach
Sand between our toes

Asking for love
Wanting love
No better love than yours
No one compares to you

Drinks and cocktails
Waiting for the DJ to play our song
My love
Life would be meaningless without you

So here we are
You're holding my hand
Asking me to love you for all of eternity
Indestructible love

To love
To bringing sweet bliss
To never losing hope
To having our love shine

To feel love
To a night to remember
To saying I love you, too
To the kisses and cuddles

To you
To me
To us
To love

4 A.M.
Andie Lately Sep 2011
When true desires are unleashed
I wander through the darkness
Revisiting memories
Running to the door
Where your voice lingered
You are too innocent to be real
I am such a monster to you
Late night conversations
Ending myself, shutting down
From you, from the world
I'm foolish
Lonely and miserable
Still in a cocoon
Never emerging
Waiting to ignite from a spark
The former me departed
Living in the shadows
Trying to find himself
Wanting to attach
But scared of losing
Losing his sanity
All that he holds dear
The freedom of being alone
Wasn't a bold move
The thought of you
Burning an eternal flame
Sep 2011 · 470
To
Andie Lately Sep 2011
To
To whom is this addressed to?
I lost my sanity
I lost my friends
To my caustic tongue
Leave loneliness to me
Let the emotion stay within

To you I leave this
I leave my love
My hope
My muse
My common sense
To you

I'm Not The Only One
Andie Lately Sep 2011
You say I'm not the rulemaker
I'm just tired
An old routine
I'm all to used to
Too many sorry's
Not enough from you
The same old pity card
Tired of the same ruse
The same old you
You say we're the ones who hate
Who want you gone
All I want is a little sincerity
A little concern
I'm not the only one
Sep 2011 · 589
Lover Stay
Andie Lately Sep 2011
Please stay
A day without love
A day without you
Enshrouded in darkness
Heart turned black
Drowning in alcohol
Standing over the edge
Plunging into the cold river
Drowning in alcohol
Please stay
Ghostly figure
Never leave
Wet clothes, bloodshot eyes
Drowning with you
Lover stay
Sep 2011 · 963
Fading
Andie Lately Sep 2011
And the glitter faded to gray
The colors faded away
Until black and white remained
Fearing the world
Fearing the rejection of you
The queen of broken hearts held firm
The goddess of love fled in her golden chariot
Leaving behind a kingdom in ruin

Light Years
Andie Lately Jul 2011
Forever and ever
Traveling in light years
I can see you gliding past me
Like a shooting star
I wish for you to come back
For you to stop
Only to say I love you
But you're traveling
Too fast, too far

Shine on and on
Forever and ever
Visit moons I cannot name
See the cosmos unexplored
Light years have taken you away
To a place I long to be
Mar 2011 · 569
My Star
Andie Lately Mar 2011
In your arms once again
The world stops spinning
Close your eyes
With every heartbeat
The moment is everlasting
Glowing, neon lights
Brightening the night sky
Grasp my hand as we float
Higher and higher we go
Part of the cosmos
Light years away
Burning together, a heart's desire
My star will extend
My star illuminating my spirit
My star, braving the elements
My star, smiling from above

How I Feel
Andie Lately Mar 2011
I really don't want to hear about your love
And I really can't take anymore of it
So give me a reason not to be here
When I am reminded of you
And I can't take the smile you wear
When mine is completely fraud
I'm sure you don't care
And I'm sure you love breaking me
And I'm sure
I'd  love to burn those photos of us
Nothing left for us
And I ain't in love with you anymore
Because I'm sure I can move on
Crossing my fingers to be rid of this same ****
I keep for falling for it
And the fairy tales were meant for us when we were kids
This is reality
And it came crashing down
Because you're never consistent
Tired of the same old ****
With your distance
Tired of the same old ****
With your cold heart
And I keep falling for the same old ****
So give me a reason to be here
When there's nothing here for me

Vibrations
Andie Lately Feb 2011
Perfect synergy
Can you feel it?
Pulsing through the ground
Strobing lights blinding me
Electricity in the air
Hands in the air
I feel love

Songstress on the stage
Dancing on her own

Heaven's Night
Andie Lately Feb 2011
Wanting love
Acceptance
To be free of the suffering
Screaming in the dead of night
For the angels to come
Guiding me to a burning light

Chimes sounding off in the wind
Serenity for the sane
Bashing against the wall
Blood stained clothes
Broken limbs, broken hearts
Fragile

Stars shining light years away
Too far
Never reaching those dreams once held
Explosions shattering windows
Hearts collapsing

A night to remember
When the world stopped spinning
And Heaven's gates opened up
Pausing if inferno is an answer
To all the ******

Into Temptation
Andie Lately Feb 2011
Uncared for
Left unattended
Lying on the floor
Arms stretched out too far
Entering the darkness
Diving into my mind
Farther into the abyss I created
Trying to destroy the innocence that is left
Trap myself in this snare
Capture the remnants of a former self
Love.
Where did I lose track
Fallen into temptation
Grabbing at the edges, grasping onto sanity
Debating if it is worth it
To pull or let go
And fall
Jan 2011 · 677
I Remember
Andie Lately Jan 2011
When yesterday became today
When ****** was justified
When you disappeared into thin air
Lights dimmed
Only a flame flickering in the wind
When the skies opened
And a horn blew
When last words were not spoken
Memories haunting
Forever eternal
A veil placed over the world
I remember

When the world hushed
Except a shriek of anger
Except endless tears
When the music stopped
But angels sang lullabies
When the flood came and gone
Leaving a barren mind
Helplessness and numbness
When a heart skipped a beat
And life left you
I remember

When your liberator came
When it was time
When the sky turned gray
When the world stopped
I remember
Dec 2010 · 917
I Believe
Andie Lately Dec 2010
I believe your words
Your charm and seductive glares
Your angelic voice
And your devilish grin
I believe that you are not evil
Lamenting you are far away
Yet your lullabies travel in light years
An eruption
Acoustic hearts played upon
Shattering the boundaries in between
Light and dark colliding
Darkened skies, bright moon
Waiting for dawn
I believe stars will implode
And black holes fade
Dreaming a reality
Reality a dream
I believe you are imaginary
But physical
A vessel that floats in midair
Lowering an anchor in my heart
A pirate stealing my heart
I believe my world has been enlightened
With the presence of you
I believe white diamonds shimmer
With your rainbow colored eyes
I believe in you
I believe in love
I believe in places never visited
I believe in eternal memories
