Gone
Andie Lately Mar 2010
You left without warning
Never said goodbye
So alone
No chance in trying to make you understand
How much I love you
Gone
I miss you

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

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

Friendship
Broken promises
Sweet tales of meaningless affection
Trust no more
Death of a friendship

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

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

Alone
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Something
Saving grace
Someone
Help me
Was anybody there?
So alone
Lonely time
Night and day
All alone again

So Under Pressure
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Waiting to exhale
Will that phone call come
Are you going to stay for a little while longer?
Or will He call you to a higher place?

Months have gone by
And it's so hard to breathe.
Haven't cried in quite some time,
Quite unsure if it's still possible.

Hanging on to faith
But I'm slipping from reality.
Entering another world where you're fine
And there is no more pain.

Can I hold onto faith any longer?
Can I be strong for you and me?

You Gave My Heart A Home
Andie Lately Nov 2022
I thought myself in limbo
Until you gave my heart a home
Shelter from wandering in the rain
The fire you provided
Warmth, comfort
The smile you shared, inviting
The love you whispered
True

Adore You
Andie Lately May 2020
A laugh
The minute you struck up a conversation
A shy kiss
Till the minute it ended
I adored you

Time passed by
Having spent my youth
On memories
I still adore

The waves lapping
The gulls crying
A false memory
I adored when you suggested a faux rendezvous

Neon lights, sugary kisses
The late night heat sweltering
A false memory
I adored when I pretended you were there
Seaside with me

In the present
Complicated
But still the same
The same old stir in my heart
That made me adore you

For when your heart is full
With someone else's love
I will still
Adore you
With tender eyes
And a soft smile

last night
Andie Lately Aug 2023
we sat next to each other
anxiety high

                                     hands almost close
                                                 almost

smiles exchanged
little glances here and there

                                                          there for another
                                                          to celebrate
                                                          drinks, food
                                                          tables abuzz

                         but i couldn't take you from my gaze

your brown eyes
your gentle smile
the way you held your hands
               close to your chest

                                       the drive home
i kindly asked you to
                                        
                                            "i suppose"
was enough for me

the lights of the town blurred
as we reminisced
passing cars as we stopped for gas
laughs as we indulged in candy and ice cream

didnt anticipate to be home soon
we sat in the car for what seemed like hours
i was happy to just be there
with you in silence

last night
i wish i would have said more
"i suppose"
was enough for me

— The End —
