Pulsing
Racing
Blood pumping
I can feel it
As I lay next to you

Rhythm
We are one
Listen to our heartbeat
Ticking away
Andie Lately Feb 2011
Wanting love
Acceptance
To be free of the suffering
Screaming in the dead of night
For the angels to come
Guiding me to a burning light

Chimes sounding off in the wind
Serenity for the sane
Bashing against the wall
Blood stained clothes
Broken limbs, broken hearts
Fragile

Stars shining light years away
Too far
Never reaching those dreams once held
Explosions shattering windows
Hearts collapsing

A night to remember
When the world stopped spinning
And Heaven's gates opened up
Pausing if inferno is an answer
To all the ******
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Asking for more
Attempting to borrow some time
Only to come up empty handed
Nonstop addiction
Unable to quit the high
A feeling to last forever
Craving to get one more taste
More, more, more
Andie Lately Dec 2012
I can finally say
How much I love you
It has been many years
Since I have known you

You have rescued me from drowning
Drowning, in my sorrow
You have saved me
Saved me from a life of emptiness

I can think of the days
Where we fought
And I won by default
But I won your friendship

How I cherish that more than life
I could admire you
For your many talents
And your passion, your strength

I can tell you
I have always felt safe
With you nearby
Knowing you could protect me from dangers

You held my hand
My God, I could feel how warm and strong you were
Love, rushing through your veins
But you stayed silent

You smiled from afar
But I could tell how you wanted to be so close
Fighting in the distance
But still, you wrote me when the opportunity arrived

I love you
My God, how I loved you being my hero
You never had to fight for my love
It was always there

I know now I love you
And I am sorry
For how long I have waited
But know that
I love you
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

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
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
Andie Lately Nov 2010
Diving deeper into you
Feeling the roughness of your skin
Pressed against mine
A look, a touch
Sends me to my knees
Crashing against the cold dirt
Sinking beneath the surface
Slipping into darkness
Burning with passion
Fleeing from advances of creatures I know not of
Whispering hush hush
To silence the sounds of my heart
For love is a dangerous game
Be still my blackened heart
For you do not need to change
Just place barbed wire across the fences you built
Hush hush I say to my brain
Because logic sees the reasoning
Yet I do not need to listen to the voices in my head
As I can plunge farther into myself
Causing no more pain
No love to give or receive
Hush hush I say to myself
As I let go of all reason to stay afloat

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
Andie Lately Dec 2010
I believe your words
Your charm and seductive glares
Your angelic voice
And your devilish grin
I believe that you are not evil
Lamenting you are far away
Yet your lullabies travel in light years
An eruption
Acoustic hearts played upon
Shattering the boundaries in between
Light and dark colliding
Darkened skies, bright moon
Waiting for dawn
I believe stars will implode
And black holes fade
Dreaming a reality
Reality a dream
I believe you are imaginary
But physical
A vessel that floats in midair
Lowering an anchor in my heart
A pirate stealing my heart
I believe my world has been enlightened
With the presence of you
I believe white diamonds shimmer
With your rainbow colored eyes
I believe in you
I believe in love
I believe in places never visited
I believe in eternal memories
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

The seams were coming undone
My heart was fragile now
Any little thing could cause me to fall apart
Becoming a broken piece of art

From everything to nothing
Beginning with an end
Love without hate

Andie Lately Jun 2010
Where has time gone by?
I cannot even fathom where I spent my days
Or where I will be
This illusion has held me prisoner far too long
I shall break free from this hallucination
And seek out time to spend
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...

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
- From Masquerade
Andie Lately Sep 2011
You say I'm not the rulemaker
I'm just tired
An old routine
I'm all to used to
Too many sorry's
Not enough from you
The same old pity card
Tired of the same ruse
The same old you
You say we're the ones who hate
Who want you gone
All I want is a little sincerity
A little concern
I'm not the only one
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 Aug 2010
The bright light fading into darkness
The grass slowly dying
Loading the revolver
Playing russian roulette
Guessing as to whom will die
Or live
For at this moment in time
All shall perish
And none shall live to tell
Worrisome no more
Love is meaningless
Pain is all that matters
From innocent things
To trivial matters
Nothingness
Neglected
Once loved, now no more
Living in the shadows
Eternally ****** to numbness
In a dark place I roam
Seeking nothing
Only for a match to light my path
Andie Lately Jun 2010
You consume my mind
Your presence is in my soul
Always in my head
Andie Lately Jan 2013
I will never grace the stage
Or sing opera
I will never attend a red carpet event
Or be published in magazines
I will fight demons inside my head
But you will never know of the struggles
You will never pick up a novel
With my name gracing the cover
I will never see the smile upon your face
If I never tell you
I will die
With people peacefully ignoring my demise
Andie Lately Jan 2013
I won attention
Not by my family, but by friends
I chose words carefully
So as not to hurt others
I arranged them neatly
To please perfectionists
I sang low
So as not to disturb a sleeping bird
Sang high
When I was alone and no one could hear
I gave my heart to many
But never received one
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Nighttime
Sleepless once more
State of mind: morose
Fragile being
Eyes, bloodshot
Jittery
Dark circles
Going around and around
Paleness
Exhaustion
Greetings insomnia
Welcome to my humble abode
Stay for the night
Let us begin a game of will
And see who shall be victor
Andie Lately Feb 2011
Uncared for
Left unattended
Lying on the floor
Arms stretched out too far
Entering the darkness
Diving into my mind
Farther into the abyss I created
Trying to destroy the innocence that is left
Trap myself in this snare
Capture the remnants of a former self
Love.
Where did I lose track
Fallen into temptation
Grabbing at the edges, grasping onto sanity
Debating if it is worth it
To pull or let go
And fall
Andie Lately Jan 2011
When yesterday became today
When ****** was justified
When you disappeared into thin air
Lights dimmed
Only a flame flickering in the wind
When the skies opened
And a horn blew
When last words were not spoken
Memories haunting
Forever eternal
A veil placed over the world
I remember

When the world hushed
Except a shriek of anger
Except endless tears
When the music stopped
But angels sang lullabies
When the flood came and gone
Leaving a barren mind
Helplessness and numbness
When a heart skipped a beat
And life left you
I remember

When your liberator came
When it was time
When the sky turned gray
When the world stopped
I remember
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

Thoughts stirring
Racking my brain for a final solution
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Drunk
Exposed to all the elements
Let me be numb
Let your memory part

Drunk
Hidden in the dark
Away from society
Into a black hole

Drunk
Nonstop rain
Drowning out the world
Drowning the festivities

Drunk
Alone
Drunk
Again
Drunk
The last drop of the first bottle
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
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Je t'aime mon ami
Je ne sais pas pourquoi
Une triste histoire d'amour
C'etait ca le fin mot de l'histoire
Immense chagrin
C'est pourquoi
Etre a bout de forces pousser des cris
Je t'aime
Pour rien au monde
Mourir de chagrin
Ce n'est pas sorcier

Judge me dearly
Intoxication is my daily routine
Presumed high at times
Will - the power to judge isn't yours
Traveled that mighty high path that you seem as right
Expecting much from one
Isn't always how it seems
Judgement day has come
I'm gone while you are in

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
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
Andie Lately Jan 2014
One day
You will someone to hold you in a tight hug
Their embrace
Will make you smile and laugh
Someday
On a cold winter day
They will wrap their jacket around you
And when summertime comes around
Someone will push you into the water
You will get mad
Until they jump in with you
When Valentine's Day comes
And you dreaded it with fear
Someone will have dinner ready
And your favorite candy
And when holidays are here
You can take them home to meet your family
And watch them embarrass you
One day
This will happen to you
And when that happens
Let it be

I let the days run on by
The silence a comfort
Taking time in the still
To ponder
To fade into nothingness
Andie Lately Feb 2010
With many promises
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
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

No more lonely nights
Giving up my heart to you

I am glad you are not here
The deception, your evil ways
They clash with me
And in me
You are not here
And I am thankful for that

Liquor lips
With a caustic tongue
Kiss a whiskey mouth
Till the sadness leaves
Indulge in finishing bottles
Leaving only a faint whiff
Andie Lately Dec 2012
Follow me into the unknown
Join in the underground society
Where the lonely hearts dwell
We drink until love is real
And whenever our love potion dwindles
It will be replenished with generosity
We have no need to surface above
To mingle with cloud nine lovers
We like to sleep in the darkness
Where are own lonely hearts can never be hurt by sunlight
Andie Lately Dec 2012
I could fall in love with anyone
Instead
I fell into you
Down into something unknown
I was far gone
Playing out scenarios in my head
A love affair
Long distance
Dates through blurry cameras
Can never be clear
I can wish you good morning
And you bid me good night
A love affair
With its destination unknown

Love is in the air
To feel that eternal bliss
Longing for someone
Andie Lately Oct 2013
I met a dumb boy a year ago today
And it feels me with memories that are bad and good
It is now that I find myself alone
With anger and sadness and bittersweet happiness
Because a lot can change in a short amount of time
You can lose track of the other
And not bother to call or text or leave a message
You can hope that one day
He will appear at your door
But he won't
You will find no one knocking
Because he did not come
The three knocks were in your head
The sound of him was your imagination
I listened to the revival of a holy ghost
Imagining you dancing around
Silly now, how I love the folk sound
Because you loved it
There was no we
It was only you and I
We dance alone
I met a boy a year ago today
And he left a long time ago
Andie Lately Mar 2010
It was love at first sight
Everything you said was true
"Come here," you said
"You are a star...my star
My darling, I love you"
Translated into English from Italian (Amore)
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
For Sean
Andie Lately Jan 2013
Love in bad weather
Storms halting me from seeing you
Parting lands kept me from running to you
Words were the only thing keeping us together

Love in bad times
When your heart was taken by another
I can never call you mine
So I shine a little less

Love
Will never come another
Who compares to you
So I die a little inside

I can never love another
So I will choose be alone
Is it any wonder
That I fell in love with you
Andie Lately Aug 2013
Love me gentle
Be careful of what you say
Love me delicately
I break easily
Whisper innocently
All through the night
Keep close
As long as you can
Love me
