Please stay
A day without love
A day without you
Enshrouded in darkness
Heart turned black
Drowning in alcohol
Standing over the edge
Plunging into the cold river
Drowning in alcohol
Please stay
Ghostly figure
Never leave
Wet clothes, bloodshot eyes
Drowning with you
Lover stay
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
Andie Lately Jan 2015
It scares me
Because I have grown accustomed to your manners
The way you talk
How you break into a big grin
When your passion heats up
It scares me
Because you tell me good morning
And good night
And breaking out of that habit would **** me
I scare myself
Because I keep falling in love with you
Day after day, night after night
Low
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Low
Cheap shots
Insecure about yourself
Give your charade up
You lost the game
Your mask is ugly
But it is stuck on you
Andie Lately Mar 2010
Not even a smile to put on
Not even a chuckle that amuses
Hiding behind a mask
Guessing at what is underneath
Unsure of what to do
Sit beneath a tree and cry
Listening to my youth die away
Where has my heart gone to
Where has my childlike tendencies wandered off to
Here again
All alone at the end of the day
Waging war on my emotions
Strength departing leaving me in a weakened state
Facing the world is a daily hassle
This is not a fairytale
No fiction lies beyond this point
This is reality crashing down
And at the end of the day
I take off this mask
And when the sun rises
It goes on again
- From Masquerade
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
- From December
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
- From Masquerade
Andie Lately Jan 2012
Come down from this high
Reality crashing down on this illusion
The silence deafening and unwelcome
Waking up alone, vision a blur
The companionship once had, now long gone
A mere memory
Nothing more
Wishing the memory of you into shifting sands
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Screaming aloud with no words
Moving with no limbs
Eyes blinded
Spirit and soul in tact
Fighting to keep alive
Who needs appendages
When inside
The heart still beats
Mighty
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Such a long time coming
Here we are
A long road that has yet to be finished
Thank God I survived
Barefoot and empty handed
But I survived

I reached my halfway mark today
Lots of twists and turns
Broken glass littered the highways
Abandoned cars
I did not give up hope
For I reached a milestone
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
Andie Lately May 2010
Serenade me tonight upon the dance floor
Let the stars radiate
And moonlight descend through the skylight
Speak of nothing
Gazing into those eyes
That have haunted my dreams

Tonight is the last night
When magic sparks
And glitter will explode from nothing
Showering the night's festivities
With a glowing look

A serenade tonight
Will complete the dreams of hundreds
Bathing in the moonlight as footsteps march in rhythm
Stars shining brightly above
Giving blessings to those below
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
Andie Lately Oct 2013
I like to sit down and watch indie films
Just to see how others view someone like me
The star that tends to be a loner
But eventually comes out of their shell
Due to love and support from people around them
I realise now that
I came out of my shell
A long time ago
With a wild woman at my side
A best friend who is quiet but strong
The attention seekers who have a lot of love to give
The wallflowers that are too shy to speak up
I knew them all
I was the star of my movie
I may not have a love interest at this point of the film
Or even in the end
But it is nice
My life is an indie film
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
Andie Lately Jun 2013
Don't judge a book by its cover
Hard not to when it's torn off
The nakedness of you
Exposed
Telling your tale
Deeper into the story
Barely a ******
That ends in disappointment
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Forgive me
You left with the wrong impression
Cannot forgive myself
I never hated you
No one could
Never meant to put you off
Should have called you friend
All these thoughts mean nothing
Forgive me
I hate myself more with your untimely passing
Forgive me
For being ignorant of my ways
Andie Lately Jan 2012
Innocence in the sunlight
Lose all your inhibitions in the nightlife
A feeling so freeing
Intoxicated with the moonlight
Drinking in its radiant beams
Such a feeling
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
No
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
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
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Here we are again
Same old routine
I know it better this time
And I have been practicing it
For a long time
I can prove it now
That I am the bigger person
That will not apologize
For you have wronged me without reason
I know forgiving is necessary
But I refuse to listen
Or apologize
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 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
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
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
- From December
Andie Lately May 2010
You can go your own way
I'll stay on my path
Can't trot along both
North and south
That's all you have
No between the lines
No grey area
Black and white
Is all we have
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
Andie Lately Nov 2012
If only I had known
You were leaving for an eternity
What would I do
To keep myself from thinking about you

Only you could break me down
Wear me out
Take apart a fragile heart
And piece me together
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Sitting down
Tittering on the edge of falling down
Debating on where I stand
When it comes to love and war

Staring at the sky
Wondering how long the sun will shine
Whether the stars will cause chaos
If the universe will fade away

How can love exist
When there are so many others
How can we exist
When there is nothing to live for
Andie Lately Sep 2013
I forgot how to smile
The joyous feeling lost
Beneath time
I have been numb for so long
It is strange to make my heart happy
The laugh heard now
Is not the one you heard then
The smile you saw
Is not the same today
Nearly a year has passed
The origin of love is no longer relevant
I am finding objects in life to fill the void
Nothing has worked so far
Letters from the past should be burned
But I refuse
I was happy then
I will be happy again
Even if you will not make me happy again
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Made of stone
With a heart of gold
A touch so cool
It sent shivers down my spine

Gentle to the sands of time
Holding an hourglass with endless beads
Greatest love of all
Speaking in tongues

A figure lost to you
A mystery to be solved and closed
Never to open again
Hands placing a lock

Keeping it a secret
Eyes closed to prevent the truth seeping out
Slave to no one
Ozymandias, you are free
Andie Lately Dec 2011
The feeling you left me with
The impression you made
The kindness and warmth of you
The caring attitude you showed

You make me feel
As if you've just opened a locked door
Kept away from the world for so long
Emotions run for the exit

Any resistance towards you is futile
Any passion will be fulfilled until the end
A friend to remember, a love to remember
I will never forget the music played when you opened the box kept hidden in me
Andie Lately May 2010
We all cannot be like you
Sweet little innocence
All a charade
We all cannot be smiling
I see right through the glass
I see the sad thing that you are
I wish we could be perfect like you
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
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Gambled away
Aces were my foes
Rarely a king or queen to aid
Taking chances
Placing a lifetime bet
And I lost
- From Masquerade
Andie Lately Feb 2010
I burned those letters you wrote to me
Never gave it a second glance
And no longer will your memory haunt me
I pushed you away for the final time
Never again will I let you hurt me
You said I was empty and cold
When you were never there
You turned a blind eye whenever I cried
Defended you against everyone
Yet you never protected me
Mistake me if I'm wrong
You said you loved me
So how can you pretend you care?
Never again will I believe the lies you told me
Just to get what you want
And never again
Never will your words guilt me
Never will you use me for your own guilty pleasure
Never again
- From Masquerade
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.
- From Masquerade
Andie Lately Jan 2013
I sink in to quicksand
Your words force me down under
To a place where I surrender
Give up all free will
To wander aimlessly
In a desert land
With a mirage
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
Andie Lately Jan 2010
Without  a doubt
My world began crumbling
Waves swept over
Consuming it whole
Realizing there was no more
I departed
Content that I moved on
A new beginning
Andie Lately Mar 2013
Forget the pain
Runaway with me
Your tears are temporary
They will dry another day
Open up your mind's eye
To see a brighter future
Without the hurt
Andie Lately Nov 2013
Everything leads back to you
No matter which path I take
I always find you
When I'm not looking
In time
I will surely find my escape
And run away
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Enjoying the pain you go through
Absolutely humorous
Watching you ***** yourself with pins and needles
How I love to sit upside down
And be entertained with your conflicts
How I love the blood flowing
Watch me as I put the receiver on its hook
Andie Lately Feb 2012
To wander through a hazy world
Leaving trails of vanishing footprints
The crying game over with
T’was all for nothing
Glad to have met the devil on this personal trek

Shedding a shell
Awakening new senses
Going to a deeper high
Where finding a voice is ordinary but surreal
Peace and terror in this future life beginning

Going deeper into the fog
Playing melodies as the veil lifts
Walking through the same streets
Never felt so good in this same old suburban *******
Never felt this high as before
Andie Lately Jun 2010
I saw you once today
But I was lost in your eyes
Just a glance at them
Send me into a sea of brown

Could I drown in them?
Lost at sea
Lost in your eyes
Andie Lately Feb 2010
The color of the leaves changing from time to time
Temperature varies
Moody to match the heart
Andie Lately Jun 2010
Do you really want to understand
How about knowing what it once was
Only to know it wasn't
Guessing is all you can do
Never trusting your instinct
How are you to understand
When the problem isn't clear
Andie Lately Dec 2011
Colors flood my vision
Sounds unimaginable
Achieving pleasure and pain
The world is spinning around
To the sound of music
Flashing lights give way
In a trance
Feeling the intensity of the spectrum
Immobilized
Sound waves pounding
Laying in a pool of color
Dazzled by the sound and color
Enchanted by its deliverance
Encompassed by neon lights
Ravaged by the beats
Overwhelmed
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Quelque chose
Le bon cote
Quelqu'un
Aidez moi
Est-ce qu-il y avait quelqu'un?
Je me sens si seul
C'etait une periode ou je me sentais seul
Nuit et jour
Tout seul encore
