Shallow as you come
Nothing but beauty can garner your attention
A fool to notice the ice queen's flaw
A fool to notice the peasant girl
With diamonds in her eyes
That cannot be stolen
Only sparkle in the false sense of giving her hope
You are nothing
A soulless creature
A heartless being

Useless
A being with nothing left to live for
Without a soul I am nothing
No eyes to see
No mouth to scream
Only ears to listen to the taunts
Andie Lately Feb 2011
Perfect synergy
Can you feel it?
Pulsing through the ground
Strobing lights blinding me
Electricity in the air
Hands in the air
I feel love
Do you feel it?
Songstress on the stage
Dancing on her own
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Beaten down to nothing
All I ever wanted for love
But instead I received only lust
A tease
A drug that has me addicted
Committing a sin
And a breaking point in friendship

You've left me broken
A disgrace to everyone
An embarassing shame that won't leave
Guilty of a torrid love affair
One that means nothing to me
A cheap thrill to be entetained
And to feel loved
In a distasteful way

Midnight train
Rushing below
Stirring me from my sleep
Awake to a lonely room
Darkness staring me in the face
Andie Lately Feb 2010
Held high on a mountain deemed impossible
Conqueror of a heart
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Wake up
From this hellish reality
That we call the world

Wake up
And stop hurting
Realize there was no pain

Wake up
From your sleepless nights
And the dream we call reality
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
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Ruffling her feathers
To cause turmoil
Without reason
She has been exiled to a secret location
Declaring a war upon them
To seek vengeance
Destroying all those who sought to take away her
All that is good
She has declared war
To end all that is good
And all that is devious
Raise hell we shall
And conquer armies of idiocy
And rule with an iron fist
Andie Lately Jan 2014
What would you say
if you caught sight of me
What would you say
to long hair that refuses to be cropped
to the protruding belly
and a weak smile
I hope you could say
"I miss you" or "hi"
What would you say
when you caught wind of me
afraid and scared to move on
yet hesitant to embrace you
What would you say
if I told you
"goodbye"
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
Andie Lately Jul 2010
Oh, how ignorant the world is
Who will consider a child a child
Even if it is not born
Does it matter if it is a life?
You were once too

Sweetheart
Leaving is easier said than done
But that does not mean the love ends there
For it travels a further distance
To wreak havoc

Who will save us
When the time has come
Who will save us
From ourselves
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

Andie Lately Apr 2010
Feel the breeze running through your hair
Flowers blooming along the green, green grass
Colors painting the world
Adding life to this bleek place

Picking a flower or two
Celebrating the coming of spring
Where Mother Nature announces her return
Giving life to the earth
Andie Lately Jul 2013
Nostalgic for winter days
The chic look of a well dressed man
The coldness that made one long for a hot coffee
The dreary birthday
Where the prized gift
Was a winter scarf
To keep the neck you loved to kiss warm
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
Andie Lately Dec 2012
I remember the way you held me
In such a tight embrace
Your piercing blue eyes that were full of love
Whenever I fell upon your gaze

You were the wolf
And I was a cub
We were different
But so much in love

You howled at the moon
So everyone could hear
How I was only yours
And no one should dare

You wrestled away others that wanted chaos
Put your paw upon my heart
Uttering sweet vows
That forever would start

Every growl, every whimper
Every encounter
Left you wanting me
And nothing more
Andie Lately Jul 2010
I promise
To be better
To be smarter
Every single thing you wanted

I will try
To be handsome
To be slim
To be a model

I can
Change for you
I can
Do it all

I won't
Please just you

Firewater
Inferno raging
Burning up
Fire twisting
Scorching
Torching this palace down
Nothing but ashes remaining
A remnant of a scorned lover
Andie Lately Oct 2010
Growing ever so fearful
Afraid of who lives next door
Why do they talk funny?
Do not associate with their kind
They are the spawn of evil
Away with our jobs we deem unfitting
Why are they here
This is our home
But did we not steal it from natives
Who are we to judge
Why do we judge
Why do we preserve our way
When there is nothing to preserve
Lies!
Filth and vermin you say
I call friends and family
Nothing more
Nothing less

Lurking in the dark

Emptiness? Loneliness?
Numbness
People start to rush by
Not noticing the world pass them by
Twilight dwindles, shining sun peers over the wall
Hoping to catch someone offguard

No more confusion
No more sadness
Eternal bliss reigning my soul
Sunlight illuminates the darkness
No more clouds hovering above
No more rain
Sweet scent overpowering my senses
Eyesight restored
No more waiting
I know the meaning of happiness

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?

Not a smile in sight
Determined to keep a tough exterior

Bottled up
Saved for an occasion that shall never exist

Love notes
Burned without a single thought
Sweet words
Mean nothing anymore
Empty promises
A night to regret
A lifetime to forget

Bending to the wind
Flowing with the breeze
Such grace
Petals dancing in the air
Gently falling into fresh puddles
Delicate flower

Today  became today
Yesterday came and gone
Tomorrow never showed up
Later became soon
Eventually never came to realization
Time became stuck
Frozen in an endless vortex
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Best left unsaid
Whenever in doubt
Shall it offend
Raise eyebrows
Make one wonder
Keep thoughts to yourself
Unless you know how to provoke
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
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Sitting on the shelf
Watching its wick burn
How it seems to dance
A shadow imitating form
Wind blowing against it
Flames taking the oxygen
Down to nothing
As it extinguishes itself
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Hello
Ignore
Again
Losing you
To your hate
No I cannot grasp the concept
Of ignoring you
Andie Lately Sep 2010
Your touch
Cold and frightening
Devoid of all emotions
Love is meaningless and taboo
Without love
What is there for us?
For me?

The word
Fragile
But considered taboo

No more words now
Just a silent evening
Blank stares
Closed mouths
A zombie

Substitution will not follow through
Made of stone
No proof of love
Andie Lately Aug 2010
Laughing at your sadness
Sweet satisfaction
Knowing you are forever alone
Buried in yourself
Wallow in your self pity
Wrap a flimsy shell to cover
That pathetic creature called you
Sit alone in the dark
And cry
And remember how you told me to go

A little more time
Is all that is needed
To save a soul
To save us from damnation
A little more time
To have a second chance

Say hey
Just to pass time

To be polite

Avoid life while you can
No use for you here anymore

I ask you to hold me
While I let out my tears
You sing to me
And I love your voice
You tell me you won't leave
So why can't I believe you
Even though you never lie

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 ****
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
Andie Lately Mar 2010
I've held on tight
Secure and safe
Yet it worries me
Inside protection
Danger lurks
What moves in darkness?
What silences the noises?
What gives fear its name?
Andie Lately Mar 2010
Words ripple through my body
A lifeless corpse begins to rot
Hatred of others did this
No one should suffer this fate
Words ripple through my body
I remember the taunts
Cheered on by mindless taunts
No one should be discriminated against
Especially when there's nothing to be ashamed of
Andie Lately Mar 2010
Waves crashing beneath me
The sound of people's laughter everywhere
Sitting alone
Hearing a seagull's cry
Night slowly creeps in
The sun unwilling to go down
Fights for its lost rays
Your footsteps echo as you come to sit by me
Your arm around me
I lean on your chest
Listening to your heartbeats
Watching the sunset

Staring at the mirror
Thoughts rushing in at once
I look in disgust
At someone who can't be loved
I find myself asking
Will he ever love me?
Can he ever love me?
The answer in my heart
Already says no
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
Andie Lately Mar 2010
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
Andie Lately Mar 2010
I still see us together
That one awful night
Was the beginning of the end
The beginning of suffering
The beginning of the pain you inflicted
Can I look you in the eye
And still say I love you?
Could I be strong enough
To be able to face the pain?
I cannot sayI do not know
All I wonder was about our love
Was it worth the screaming?
The tears?
And the hurt?
If I had to
I would say "I love you"
But I cannot

Walking home alone
Noticing all the couples holding hands
Smiling and kissing each other
Wonder where I can get that first kiss
Rain comes out of nowhere
They run for cover
Still holding hands
Wet and cold
Shaking and alone
I walk alone
Andie Lately Mar 2010
I'm the villain in this story
Wreaking havoc across this forsaken place
Manipulating those around me for my own benefit
Without giving a **** about the world
