Fairytale
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Once upon a time
True love never existed
There was only desire
Until a princess lost her way
And a charming prince found his way to her
Love blossomed from nothing
When the world around them
Glanced at how beautiful love was
Taking chances was all it took
Venturing into this wonderland
A fairytale wedding
With the never ending love he gave to her

Hands
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Hands overlapping each other
Warm to the touch
In a pool with water rushing by
People passing by
Not a care in the world
Sun high above
A reminder of how long there is to spend
Hands leading to a strong embrace
Diving into a stream
Leading to the path of love
Where eternity dwells
Where true romance shines

All The Lovers
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Swept me off my feet
Lifting me higher and higher
Taking me to that special place
Only all the lovers know
Singing and embracing
The world a better place it seems to be
With all the lovers
Sweet bliss

Sweet anodyne
Healing my wounds
Mending a broken heart
Relieving my stress
No more pain

Cool
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Forgetting the past is easy you say
Nothing happened, nothing ever will
Shattered my heart with those words
Are we cool you ask
Hesitation
A forced nod
A lie through the pain inside

Goodbye Alice in Wonderland
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Hello, hello
Bidding farewell to this world
The golden highway opening
Access to the world I once belonged to
The cold mist lifting the veil
Allowing me to see clearly

Hello, hello
I can finally see the world
And all of its beauty
Looking through the glass
Realizing
I was there all along

Starry Nights
Andie Lately Apr 2010
There, there
The world can say what it wants
Remember there are others
With a sense of compassion
Those are the ones
Worthy of your kindness
Dry your eyes little brother
And shine like the starry nights

Wildflower
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Feel the breeze running through your hair
Flowers blooming along the green, green grass
Colors painting the world
Adding life to this bleek place

Picking a flower or two
Celebrating the coming of spring
Where Mother Nature announces her return
Giving life to the earth

Ironic
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Her Heartbeats defining my expenses
Dominating what I can hear
Water being marketed
With special additives

Lost in this world
Where getting by
Involves selling my soul
The devil having the upper hand

And I sold myself
To be relatively unknown
Within a known circle

Fantasy
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Raindrops falling
Lightning flashing
No silence in the air
Just the ongoing film

Fire warms us
To protect us from the cold
Eyes stuck on something entertaining
A moment frozen in time it seemed

Our film is halfway over
The ****** beginning an ascension
You are there
I know

We are there
Watching the happiness occur in a remote place
As if we were there
Living the life we were supposed to have been given

Sing To Me
Andie Lately Apr 2010
I'm awake now
Sing to me with your voice
Your words are magical
Almost lyrical
Almost like a songbird
I pray to be yours
And only yours
Sing to me your song
The one you sing for her
But should belong to me
Only me

Memories
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Filmlike
Detailing the good times when the sun shone
And when the rain clouds gathered for a night
Laughter that filled the air
Tears that made rivers
Friends who took the place of angels sent

Looking back
Reflecting upon the childish ploys
Gratitude towards remembering
Too unique
To never forget

Sunrise
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Sitting by myself
Gazing in the water
The breeze blows
Mist trailing behind
The sound of seagulls not far
But in the far horizon
I can see the sun rise
A beautiful way
To start the day

Home
Andie Lately Apr 2010
The insults and cruelness
Were a constant reminder of how life worked
Tolerant of it all
A constant reminder of how this life was
I left home for a week
Seven days away from the insults
Given by friends who mean nothing now
I found a new home
But my home was sold without warning
And after a break in life
From this place I knew as hell
I realized home was where I went to
Not here where I was a fool
For lies that were guaranteed
For scars that would never heal
I found my Heaven
Ascended from my personal Hell
Now I know a place I call home

Goodbye
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Realization has come now
Hoping to set the truth free
Guaranteed to show the way
To the gateway
Death gives a last wish to say farewell to those around me

Goodbye to the girl with useless information
Goodbye to the boy who used too much
Goodbye to the swimmer who was too cruel
Goodbye to the fictional character with an obsession
Goodbye to the party girl who drank frequently
Goodbye to the adorable one who cried too much over friendships gone
Goodbye to the one who plotted revenge
Goodbye to the one with insults he never meant
Goodbye to the one who gave birth to new life
Goodbye to the boy who kept to himself
Goodbye to the broken hearted that roamed the earth
Goodbye to the girl who played the leader
Goodbye to the followers that believed in nonsense
Goodbye to the forgotten
Goodbye to the lost
Goodbye to the future
Goodbye to your dreams that were crushed
Goodbye to the hope you kept

Goodbye to myself
For I have seen the future

Black Widow
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Across the world
Your bite is deadly
The stinging sensation causing misery
Bringing death to those around you

No second chances at a life
Poison taking effect
For the first time
I am scared

What can you do to escape evil
What can you do from dying
What can you do to save yourself

Friendship
Andie Lately Apr 2010
Remember all the promises we swore to
The blood oaths we never took
The secrets we kept hidden from the world
Bound together by our friendship

Remember all the tears we shed
The endless conversations held
Stupidity ruled over us
As we looked at life from another perspective

Remember how we were strangers at first
Growing into friends in a heartbeat
Remember our bonding
Remember us

Masquerade
Andie Lately Mar 2010
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

Why?
Andie Lately Mar 2010
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

Somewhere
Andie Lately Mar 2010
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

Tightrope
Andie Lately Mar 2010
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

And
I love you.
Nothing more to say.
I lost the game when it came to you.
Sore loser I am.
And I am no longer breathing
Because you were the only one who took my breath away.
And if I smile at you
Know that I am hurting inside from the pain.
And when I cry
Understand why.
And when I die
Know I died from a broken heart.

Follow The Leader
Andie Lately Mar 2010
They love the leader
Her followers are brainwashed
Loyal to only her
Watch as they leave her one day
And our cold laughter will haunt her
Into a grave she dug a long time ago
Her friends will not welcome her with open arms
Their cold stares a reminder of their resentment
And of their hatred for her
Where are your followers now?

Walking home alone
Noticing all the couples holding hands
Smiling and kissing each other
Wonder where I can get that first kiss
Rain comes out of nowhere
They run for cover
Still holding hands
Wet and cold
Shaking and alone

Waves crashing beneath me
The sound of people's laughter everywhere
Sitting alone
Hearing a seagull's cry
Night slowly creeps in
The sun unwilling to go down
Fights for its lost rays
Your footsteps echo as you come to sit by me
Your arm around me
I lean on your chest
Listening to your heartbeats
Watching the sunset

I still see us together
That one awful night
Was the beginning of the end
The beginning of suffering
The beginning of the pain you inflicted
Can I look you in the eye
And still say I love you?
Could I be strong enough
To be able to face the pain?
I cannot sayI do not know
All I wonder was about our love
Was it worth the screaming?
The tears?
And the hurt?
If I had to
I would say "I love you"
But I cannot

Strange how I wait
Just waiting for your call
Just to hear your voice

No one could take your place
No one could replace your tenderness

Words ripple through my body
A lifeless corpse begins to rot
Hatred of others did this

Cheered on by mindless taunts
No one should be discriminated against
Especially when there's nothing to be ashamed of

I once thought
We were eternal
But once again
I was wrong
Time flies
And a piece of life
Is rapidly dissolving
Where does life go?
Once it's gone
Does it stay
Or does it fade away?
The memories we once locked up
What becomes of it
Does it fade away
Or will it remain locked up?
Nothing but a mere secret
Never to be known
Even when we die

Isn't it lovely
How you made me out to be a common *****
Making me feel loved
With all the money you threw at me

I abandoned all my morals
And all my friends
All I ever wanted
Was to feel loved
You showed me it was impossible
That I was nothing more than a simple ****

I've tried
And I keep trying
Not to cry
My emotions build
Overlapping each other
Growing endless until
I burst
And I guess tonight
Is the night
Where I lose it all
I let the tears flow
A river flowing
The pond filling
After a long drought
These tears seem eternal
When will it end?
When will the pain cease?
When can I enjoy life?
Without worrying?

Anywhere
Andie Lately Feb 2010
A cold lonely road I left behind
The journey alone is frightening
Why am I stuck at this crossroad?
I left home to get away from life
Why am I still waiting?
And I pretend to be fine
I am waiting to find a bus
That leads me to anywhere but home
Hiding from a world that showed me no love
Only hatred
Heading somewhere

I burned those letters you wrote to me
Never gave it a second glance
And no longer will your memory haunt me
I pushed you away for the final time
Never again will I let you hurt me
You said I was empty and cold
When you were never there
You turned a blind eye whenever I cried
Defended you against everyone
Yet you never protected me
Mistake me if I'm wrong
You said you loved me
So how can you pretend you care?
Never again will I believe the lies you told me
Just to get what you want
And never again
Never will your words guilt me
Never will you use me for your own guilty pleasure
Never again
