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

Sleepless Nights
Andie Lately Jun 2010
How can you sleep at night
Knowing what you have done to him
Causes him to stir
To you, it was ***
For him, it was ****
How can you sleep

She cannot explain
What lurks inside her brain
We can only pray
For her that she will be well
How can she sleep at night
Not knowing what tomorrow will hold

How can we sleep at night
Knowing what has been done
How can we sleep at night
Knowing we can help

I
In the dark there was light
A tiny shimmer of hope dancing in the dark
Hope flowing
Serenity calming
Peace in the air
Silence was eternal bliss

Fragile
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Gentle soul
Standing before me
Broken hearted as you may be
Sad as you appear
To comfort you
A tedious task

A smile that lit my world
Will never dim
For I am your protector
I am your guardian
Leading you from harm
I am your friend

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

December
Andie Lately Feb 2010
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

Nightmare
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Oh so easily annoyed
How I long to punch that thing you call a face
Leave it a ****** mess
Knowing you will have scars that will remind you of me
All those broken bones
A reminder of the pain that is only a start
The job is not yet over
I an the reaper of souls
I am an angry spirit haunting you for all eternity
I am your nightmare
Alive and healthy
Waiting to take revenge on all those that mocked me

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

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

Rain
Andie Lately Dec 2012
Rain heals the wounds
The loneliness filled with bottles
Awakened to the sound of light taps
Asking if I am ready
To stop drowning myself in liquid sorrow
To stop avoiding social interaction
To seek a new adventure outside a glass of poison

Puddles forming underneath my bare feet
Rinsing off the dirt
Gloomy forecast
With a chance of sunshine for an hour, maybe two
Rain filling my empty bottles
Overflowing
Rain washing away who I was and who I am and who I will be

XLIX (Love and Happiness)
Andie Lately Dec 2010
To find love in the darkest of times
And conquer a wicked heart
To find happiness in a far away land
And realize love was there all along

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
477 · May 2010
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

Crisis
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Mistook your name
Thought of it as something we do
A simple mistake made in this day and age
What happened to us?

We were nearly perfect
Now standing here
A million mistakes condemned

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

Addicted ('06)

My love for you is like a drug
And I'm hooked on you
I can never quit you
Because you're so addicting
And I wish I could quit you
But it's impossible

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

Andie Lately Mar 2010
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

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

Warfare Amongst Us
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Blood shed
Bullets ripping the pure body to shred
Tainting the body with poison
Screaming in agony

Just a reminder
A silent battle amongst friends
Is as deadly as those across


Rotting flesh in air
Stench of death
Bittersweet smell
Of a victory lost

Forget the pain
Runaway with me

They will dry another day
Open up your mind's eye
To see a brighter future
Without the hurt

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

Andie Lately Jul 2010
I shimmer for you
Catch on, catch on.
Oh, the very thrill of it,
Doing this to raise your eyebrows.
Makes you wonder
Who is invisible?
Blocked by your barriers
I know the way to your heart
The core of all that is pure
And evil
A being that is flawed
And perfect

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

Love For You
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Far, far away
Love in the time of trouble
A past shrouded by pain pressured on
Difficult to imagine
But so easy to find love

Far away
There is a land
Only one knows
The true meaning of love
For a lover, and also a child

To know him
Is to gather trust
Friendship a must
All smiles and genial
To know a boy, a friend, a lover, a father

Something Special
Andie Lately Dec 2012
You grab me by my shoulders
Wanting to shake me
But instead
You have a smile across your face
‘Thank you’
I smile
I could tell you a million things
Your devilish good looks
Your sweet natured charm
You are perfection

I could shake you too
A funny feeling stirring inside
One I have never felt
One that makes my heart race and stop
Butterflies fluttering around
You speak of admiration for me
I blush at the mere thought of being thought of
You pretend like you are not special
When in fact you are something special to me

Why is it such a hassle to be near

Is it better to be feared than loved

One Way Only
Andie Lately May 2010
You can go your own way

Is all we have

Hands

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

Dreams
Andie Lately Feb 2010
For a second I wanted everything and nothing
To be left alone and to be found
To be loved and hated
To remember and forget
To feel nothing and everything
To know pleasure and pain
Joy and sorrow
To feel the sweetest sensation
To feel a lover
And touched by another
To see beyond the world
And be blinded by the universe
To hear everything
And deafened by the sound of music
To know the fame
And be wanted
To avoid the paparazzi
And live in isolation
Living lies
Truths in the open
Drunk and sober
A feeling so high
To find the will to live
A reason to die
An act of kindness
Acts of violence
Addicted to love
Dependent on everyone
A puzzle to solve
An open diary
To spring into action
And retreat in fear
To blossom from a seedling
And grow into a mighty tree
To know war and peace
To be spontaneous and predictable
To know the blessing of friends
And cruelness of enemies
To feel a summer breeze
And the strength of a hurricane
To see the beauty in nature
And man's destruction
To know true love
And lust after
To see heaven and hell
To feel God's love
And the devil's presence
To hear the cries of many
And triumph of one
To have a question
And the answers
These are the impossible dreams of an impossible prince

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

If I Can't Have You
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Is it really any use to worry
I can't have you
I never can
Why do I worry about you
Sometimes you're never around
Sometimes you never listen
Worrying didn't ever bother me before
That was until I met you
You've changed the rules
Now I worry constantly
Are you sick?
Are you alright?
Are you better when I'm not around?
Why do I worry
When I can't have you
444 · Feb 2010
No One
Andie Lately Feb 2010
You were never there
Never a shoulder to cry on
Never for support
Why are you here?
A branch, leaves that drop
Bending to the wind
You are not the friend I need
Nor I want

Caught Up
Andie Lately Dec 2012
Caught up in a moment that was never real
I was fascinated by your design
The way you could weave a story
And make me believe
In a fairy tale

The wind will carry us
Every day is a journey
Filled with uncertainty
One step at a time
Admiring the beauty life has to offer
And the joys we receive
Life is a miraculous thing
