Valentine
Andie Lately Feb 2013
Reality killed me tonight
Concluded I will never be your valentine
Just a blurry face
With an unusual name
You tried me on once
And threw me in the dirt
Stared at me
And said 'never yours'

XI

XI
A thief in the night
Lurking in the dark
Seeking treasure
His reward the prized jewel
Sought out by the lost

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
584 · Dec 2011
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

For You, For Me
Andie Lately Oct 2010
For you
For me
Let me sin
If only

Looking around
The darkness with unfamiliar sounds
A figure lingering in the distance
Unsure of where to go

Here I stand
Desperately seeking your love
Your approval
Of all that I do

Pursuing an impossible dream
Goals that shall never be fulfilled
A love that shall not know romance
A mere mutual agreement upon what is desired

Here is to you
And all of your success and failure
For me
It is the bittersweet victory enjoyed with an empty heart
575 · Feb 2010
Beautiful Liar
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Beautiful liar
Full of tales
Tired of listening to excuses
Broken promises
Bittersweet lies
Tall tales
Never original
Beautiful liar you are
How long can you play these city games?
You lost your charm in the end
And your beauty will fade
And nothing will matter
Your lies are your only friend
And love will leave you
Just like I did
Beautiful liar

Picture
Andie Lately Dec 2012
I could picture you
Strumming your guitar
Singing a tune you wrote
Especially for me

Your voice
Giving me chills
The way your words
Left a haunting impression

The echo resonating
The sound of you
A lullaby
Leading into euphoric slumber

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

My Last Escape
Andie Lately Jun 2010
That small piece of metal
Relieves my soul
A last escape
An escape to a crimson filled world

That empty bottle
Makes the pain go away
A desperate attempt
An attempt to a crazy world

That long syringe
Will do me good
My last escape
My last escape to end it all
570 · Feb 2010
Alice
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Falling down
Grasping at air
Catching nothing
Further and further down the hole I go

Hard earth prevents me from continuing
Many doors with possibilities
A mirror to reflect my actions, a doppelganger
Uncertain whether to chase the rabbit

If I follow, will I escape?
Or will I become a prisoner?
Captured by a Heart
Forcing me to be its slave

I am a lost child
Looking for choices in a wonderland
Imaginary solutions to reality
Never again will I dwell in it

Cold comfort in this chase
Guilty pleasure of this high
Adrenaline pumping
Alert and aware of everything

Find myself staring at a hole
Destined to be repeated
Never ending cycle
And I fall again
- From December

Soldier
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Please future soldier
I don't want you to go to war
If a draft should come
Death would slowly enter me

I don't want to see any pain
Let alone in your face
Tears still form right now
Panic fills my thoughts

Will it come sooner
If so I wish to tell you
You are everything
So please don't go fight
568 · Feb 2010
Caged Bird
Andie Lately Feb 2010
You are trying to fly
Wanting to escape from the world
Yet they keep you caged
Locked behind steel bars
Your piercing eyes capture my attention
Your tiny voice cries out for help
I stand outside your world
Gazing in upon the world created for you
Your world seems to be crumbling
The loud cries become less heard
Tolerable, no
Understood, no
Heard by one person, yes
Slowly the lock is let loose
And you soar through the air
Flying to anywhere

This Way
Andie Lately Apr 2014
I could wrap you in my arms
I could whisper sweet nothings
I could love you gently
If you promise to stay

The kisses you leave
On my bare skin
Make me fall to my knees

The glimmer in your eye
When you say my name
Sends a shiver down my spine

I could love you from far away
I could smile with you near
If you promised to stay
I could love you this way
565 · Sep 2010
XLVIII
Andie Lately Sep 2010
Your touch
Cold and frightening
Devoid of all emotions
Love is meaningless and taboo
Without love
What is there for us?
For me?

The word
Fragile
But considered taboo

No more words now
Just a silent evening
Blank stares
Closed mouths
A zombie

Substitution will not follow through
Made of stone
No proof of love

With nothing to gain
And nothing to lose

Immortal
Andie Lately Feb 2010
In my eyes you are God
In my heart you're the one I love
And even if you're not the one
Nothing changes the way I feel about you

And when I feel like giving up
I always remember that you've never given up
And I'll rise to meet the challenge
Just like you

When I'm feeling down
You're always there to cheer me up
And make me laugh no matter what
Something deep inside us
Is a connection

Sometimes when I'm crying
My mind wanders to the thought of you
And all tears stop flowing
Smiles begin to form into one happy grin

The thought of you never makes me frown
Not once
Because of you
I stand strong of who I am
And live a happy life

But seeing you with someone else
Makes me want to cry in front of you
And tell you I'm broken
And you're the only one who can fix it

No one else will tell you my feelings
But me
Rumors will spread about my love for you
And all of it will be true
But I wish I was the one
Who could tell you my emotions

Without you I'm lost
A perfect illusion in my own world
Where everything is right

But in my dream
All of it's an illusion
Because without you
Nothing is real
The thought of you never in my life
Makes suicide enter the mind
Not giving life a second chance

To be lost in a world
Without love, and hope
Would be like a suicide mission
Full of sorrow and despair
Regretting the past and the present
And what'll be of the future

But as of right now
It seems like a wonderful thing
You're off somewhere
And I'm stuck here
Daydreaming of the days I have to wait till I see you
The classes we have together
But always afraid to tell you how I feel
Afraid of how I feel about you

My love for you
Threatens our friendship
Which might be gone already
But we'll always remember our first love
Won't we?

I'm terrified of loving you
Because not many people make me feel this way
Especially not you
And over the years I developed feelings for you
Which I tried to hide very well
Until you guessed my affection for you

But as of right now
I just want to cry
While you hold me
And whisper in my ears that everything will be fine
Our heartbeats matching each others

I want my first kiss to be with you
In the rain
And never let anyone else
Share that memory but us
Unfortunately it is forbidden love
For us to share that kiss
By religion and others
But I don't care what others view me as

No one should know about that kiss
But us freely
And we won't speak of it
Because it'd ruin the moment and the memory
Of having a first kiss

And hopefully there will be a second kiss
One of the more passionate kisses known to man
And until our love for each other becomes real
It'll remain a dream of mine
A mere illusion in my fantasy world

Because it doesn't matter who you love
It's that you love...

Angel
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Are you here to save me?
Save me from these ruins
Everything is collapsing to the ground
And I'll be buried alive

Are you here to save me?
Remove me from this wreckage
I do not want to go like this
Pinned beneath

Are you here to save me?
Do not let go
I do not want to slip away
Falling to the ground

Are you here to save me?
My angel, my friend

Immortal 2.0
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Godly figure
True love perhaps
Perhaps not
Giving up is not an option
Taking chances to impress
Blue until I see you
A laugh when you are near
Maybe a connection
Tears
The thought of you can make me smile
Broken and fragile when you are gone
Lost in an illusion just to have false hope
Terrified of love
Rarely will I experience this again
Love is all that is needed
Regardless of it all

Social Suicide
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Go against the norm
Everyone will hate
Pretend to be something you are not
Someone might enjoy your company
Here we are

You're against
Let's cross the bridge
And hack off the ropes

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

Feel Like I Do
Andie Lately Jul 2013
I am looking for someone I quite do not know
I walk past a million faces
And stare into each one
I am looking for someone to enjoy silence with
The days go by, night skies are companions of mine
Still standing around the busy street
Watching a stranger carry on
No one has captured me
I walk the busy road
Standing still for a moment
To see if someone feels like I do
556 · Jan 2010
Impossible
Andie Lately Jan 2010
Cannot tell you how I truly feel
Keep this secret for as long as I can
Never going to tell you
Not a soul to speak to
Hard to be subtle
Taking a chance
To be in your favor

Andie Lately Mar 2010
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

Alice In Wonderland
Andie Lately Feb 2010
He fell further down the hole
And a friendship blossomed
Stories exchanged with smiles
Today was beyond ordinary
He stumbled into another hole
And found me
Seeking comfort but no intimacy
Wanting to be heard
Not misunderstood

Alone Again
Andie Lately Jan 2010
From the day we are born
To the day we die
We walk this earth alone
Not a soul to guide us
Nor a hand to help
At the end of the day
In our thoughts we are lost
Consuming our mind
We are alone again
Never to feel
Never to see
Never to speak
Never to love

Andie Lately Jul 2010
I promise
To be better
To be smarter
Every single thing you wanted

To be handsome
To be slim
To be a model

Change for you
I can
Do it all

I won't
Please just you

Barenaked
Andie Lately Dec 2012
You say so much
But I barely listen
Because your words are windy
I can tell myself
To just be a little halcyon
But no, I scream I want to leave
And I feel
Just a little naked
Exposed to the cold night air
I could see
How fully clothed I am
But the honesty from me
Leaves me vulnerable

I could say so much
Yell, scream
Berate you for leaving
But I know I do the same
But we both feel
Unprotected from the elements of love

You are not surprised by my departure
And I do not regret a single moment spent with or without you
And now I feel
Rejuvenated
Barenaked
Whisking away to find a new skin

Warsong
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Ruffling her feathers
To cause turmoil
Without reason
She has been exiled to a secret location
Declaring a war upon them
To seek vengeance
Destroying all those who sought to take away her
All that is good
She has declared war
To end all that is good
And all that is devious
Raise hell we shall
And conquer armies of idiocy
And rule with an iron fist

Let your memory part

Hidden in the dark

Into a black hole

Nonstop rain
Drowning out the world
Drowning the festivities

Drunk
Alone
Drunk
Again
Drunk
The last drop of the first bottle

Who Will Save Us
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Oh, how ignorant the world is
Who will consider a child a child
Even if it is not born
Does it matter if it is a life?
You were once too

Sweetheart
Leaving is easier said than done
But that does not mean the love ends there
For it travels a further distance
To wreak havoc

Who will save us
When the time has come
Who will save us
From ourselves

At the End of the Day
Andie Lately May 2010
Find myself sitting
Alone once again
Today was anything but good
Just another day
Foolish games being played
Can we go back to whenever love didn't matter
Can we go back to when you and I were perfect
Can we
Can we
Again and again
At the end of the day
Tears are my only friends

Laughing at your sadness
Sweet satisfaction
Knowing you are forever alone
Buried in yourself

Wrap a flimsy shell to cover

Sit alone in the dark
And cry
And remember how you told me to go

What happened to us?

One Word
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Tossed around so carelessly
What does it even mean?
Simple word
Not that difficult is it?
So tell me
Why do you not say it to me?
When I show it to you
Prove it
Express it
Love you
It is all I want to do
So why won't you say it back

Have You
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Have you ever considered the past?
All of its memories long forgotten
No one to preserve it
No trace of our past
Undoubtedly
Dooming us

Have you ever been *****?
Your mind and body being desecrated
A sacred temple burned to the ground
Tarnishing its reputation

Have you ever been deaf?
Have you ever been mute?
Have you ever been blind?
Have you ever been paralyzed?

Have you seen the end of the world?
Protests ignored
Bombings and gunfire
A child in red
Roaming the city

Have you ever died?
And returned to this world
A being of nothingness
An empty creature
With no will to live

Has your life spiraled out of control?
Hitting rock bottom
And no where to turn to
No where to go
No one to ask for help

Have you ever been human?
A human with flaws
A human that made mistakes

Have you ever heard the angels crying?
Over you.

Andie Lately Feb 2010
Gentle breeze
Slight drizzle
An angel graced me with his presence
Told me a story of his life

With tears in my eyes
I let his life flash before my eyes
Sadness in his voice
As the angel recited his tale

His life is embedded in me
Never forget a haunting memory
Of an angel
With a half-life

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

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
525 · Feb 2010
Breathe
Andie Lately Feb 2010

Pillow held over my face

Just breathe one last time
To feel the air in my lungs
To breathe once more

Dance In The Shadows
Andie Lately Aug 2013
I am dancing in the shadows
Weak smile, weak knees
I bump into a stranger
How much longer do I dance?
When blood pools around my foot?
When my ankle finally gives in?
When the music stops playing?

The lights dim
The energy pulses
The music vibrates
The crowd blurs
I dance in the shadows of strangers
Moving in rhythm to seem normal

I want to give up

Only takes
Three simple words to make it all seem true
To make the world go
From sweet bliss to mass destruction

"Take the ******* hint"
Have I guessed all the possible choices?
I have yet to see another **** answer
Let us pretend we never met

Let us pretend those three words have been said
So we do not have to stare at the ugliness of our masks
Three words that made me see clearly
"******* hate you"

Memories are haunting
Plagued by bittersweet times
Forcing its way to the front of minds
Monster clawing its way
Making the sweet escape

Haunted
Never forgiven
Guilt consuming time
Insanity takes over

Banish these monsters
For no one deserves this torture
Banish these monsters
Who tear apart our souls
Who dismember us

God have mercy on these monsters
For they seek freedom
God have mercy on us
The victims of a brutal winter
