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

Andie Lately Mar 2010
The air in me has disappeared
I can't breathe
Lungs out of air
Feels like I've been punched
Just without the hurt
The pain you cause is unbearable
Blood rushes to my head
And the world begins to fade

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

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?

Troubled
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Knock knock
Should I open the door?
No, the mail can wait
Perhaps it is a neighbor
Looking for their lost pet

Ring, ring
I open the door
Looking for solace
Finding only emptiness
My only friend

Crime of Passion
Andie Lately Dec 2012
It was too late
I rode off into the distance
Only to find nothing remained
Ruins of your love
A crater remained where you should be
Broken buildings, crashed cars
No sign of you
You tried to tell me
But it fell upon deaf ears
I was late
I loved you too late

With You
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Everything I know
I learned from you
Life is complicated
I have been granted that knowledge

With you to guide me
The journey is safer
To twenty hundred miles to where you stand
Arms waiting to embrace a child

Nothing stays the same
You have taught me to embrace change
With open arms
And love life

With you
Life is a roller coaster
Hitting turbulence
With you, life is good
For Adam

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

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?

Somewhere There
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Somewhere there is a place I long to be
Somewhere I will love with my heart
Somewhere I shall know a home

Everything (I Know)
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Again and again
Find myself doing everything
Never a thank you
I know this is wrong
Tell me why I keep doing it
I know this is meaningless

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

Did You ('06)
Andie Lately Feb 2010
I walked past you in the hall
Did you take the time to see me?
Did you take the time to say hi?
Did you even notice the way I slowed down when I saw you?
Did you see the way I looked at you?
Did you?

Come Into My World
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Welcome to my world
Welcome to my hell
Heaven doesn't exist in this place
Because if you are not there
There is no heaven
Just a world full of sorrow
Welcome to my world

Don't
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Go
Walk away
Don't see me cry
Don't help me up
Don't stop to see me
Please leave
Knowing you weren't a saint
Don't try to understand me

Your Love
Andie Lately Apr 2013
Your love keeps me going
For too long I've been so strong
Unwavering faith held me straight
Now it's time for me to break
And fall out of love with you
And into someone new

Cold Comfort
Andie Lately Dec 2012
Dragging across the concrete
Wondering when I would finally stop running
Tired from a hellish nightmare
Living among a dead you
Fighting to stay alive
Fighting to try to stay alive
Moving in the dead of night
To find shelter from the winter madness
To find a temporary home
Away from you
I took cold comfort in knowing distance

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
Foolish me
It was just a simple ******* say
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 ****

A friendship
Blown away by the winds
Where did it travel to
Words not uttered
Still so much to speak aloud
In only little time

Maybe
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Cold autumn
A friendship that dwindled
An old romance that never sparked
A rare smile when we meet
Distinguishing happiness from a lie
Wondering if you were a simple a mistake
Maybe it was a bad romance
A romance that never began
A romance that was an illusion all along

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

Strange how I wait
Just waiting for your call
Just to hear your voice
Just to hear you say you love me
The empty silence says it all
You're gone and won't come back
No one could take your place
No one could replace your tenderness

Butterflies
Andie Lately Feb 2010
A smile
The first in a long time
Bliss, sweet bliss
Love in the air
Real
No more tears
Laughter fills the room
Your love fills the void in my heart
The sun will continue to shine
And brighten my world

So why can't I believe you

Where Is The Feeling
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Have I slipped into madness?
Nothing is sane
Where is the feeling
Of my sanity

It is below
Above
Surrounding us
Insanity

Sorry
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Please just leave
I see no reason for me to keep hope
You can only say sorry
But sorry cannot help
A fragile heart you mishandled
It does not beat anymore
It lays there as useless as you

Let Go
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Should I just move on
Should I stay the same
Let myself be overwhelmed with guilt
As easy it is to move on
It is impossible to do so
The love and bond between us
Hard to break
So why go on
Knowing I let go of you

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

No mouth to scream
Only ears to listen to the taunts

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

When we find you
You're not yourself

One Day
Andie Lately Jan 2010
Gone
Never said goodbye
Nothing can change my guilty conscious
Wish I had a chance to set things straight
Heaven bound is what you are
Watching over us from clouds far above
Waiting for us to join you
You shall visit us in dreamland
And one day
We will join you
Heaven bound

Nothing
Andie Lately Jul 2010
We have changed
It was not intentional
Just along the way we lost our way
Traveled our separate ways

Throughout the days
We spent time and time searching for nothing
Now we are what we searched for
Nothing

Andie Lately Jun 2010
No
Are you the one I need?
No, you betrayed my trust

Are you still my friend?
No, you no longer wish to hang out with me

Are you going to help me?
No, you have others to help you

Are you the same person I used to know?
No, he's gone

Are you going to run away when I say I love you?
Yes, you will run

Je suis américain
Andie Lately Dec 2012
Money makes me greedy
I do not like to give
But do it anyway
I lust after luxurious items
Knowing I can never attain them
I am not loving
But I crave romance from Paris
I am American
And I take my freedom for granted
And when I lose it
I fight for it
I work hard
Only for dollars to slip through my fingers

Perfect

I see the sad thing that you are
I wish we could be perfect like you

I'm looking for an angel.
Have you seen him?
He has drifted far from Heaven.
Crashed amongst the stars
Landed in the clouds
And the force struck earth.
When darkness comes,
Will you come and shine?

Promises
Andie Lately Jan 2010
Such sweet lies you told
Getting my hopes high
Giving me false hope
I thank you for opening my eyes
Making me see the truth
Behind the veil
And into a bitter realistic world.

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.

Dear God
Andie Lately Jun 2013
I know You not in churches
But in the stillness of time
People say You are imaginary
It is okay
I feel imaginary too
A prayer uttered is not always heard
That is okay too
Because You and I know
It is for me to listen to my plea
And for me to answer myself
It is okay
For me to believe in You
And for You to simply exist
As the wind, the sun, the grass
It is okay
Because I feel love
Wherever I go

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
376 · Feb 2010
Did You
Andie Lately Feb 2010
You meant so much to me
And all you caused was sweet pain
All the tears I shed
Bottled up frustration
Invisible to you
Did you ever glance at me?
Did you ever see the boy in love with you?
Did you?

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

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

Excuse My French

I have no strength to cry
I love you
Nothing in this world
Dying of a heartbreak
Is too easy

Never said goodbye
So alone
No chance in trying to make you understand
How much I love you
Gone
I miss you
