Yourself
James Newton Mar 2021
The glimmer in the eye says it all
There’s nothing to say, your tapping a wall.

Exited as ever, maybe just bad weather
Hopes are soaring but they will shatter.

The cycle goes on repeating itself,
The time has come to stay with yourself.

softer
James Newton Sep 2021
Do you know we exist
us special souls
who sit on the sidelines
answering for you
defending the world

We make peace
so there's no war in your direction
we believe in you when you can’t  
we give ourselves away
quiet our voice
so that you’ll be heard

Know I exist, a special soul nearby.

Lonely Today
James Newton Sep 2021
If my days could rhyme its all worth it,
even if it's just I who gets to read it.

After a whole day to write it all over,
undoing my pain saying things much slower.

One day I'll love and be loved back,
one day I'll be there out of dreamland.

Little Brother
James Newton Sep 2021
I love you most
baby of mine
you don't know it yet
one day I'll tell you

I sure try my best
hope you'll be fine
leave for the week
all on your own to get thru

One sided love
its weird I know
just grow up and say
I love you too bro!

Together, Forever.
James Newton Nov 2022
I left when it was hard
I didn't think twice
Oh what a man goes thru,
The most natural thing to do.

So I traveled 'round the world
Racing motorbikes, taking solo flights,
Reaching great heights.
Oh what a man goes thru,
I have yet to see anything new.

I'll crash my plane
I'll survive just barely,
The best thing to do,
In the end I'll be with you.

Everyday
James Newton Mar 2021
In the corner all away
That’s his shelter from everyday.

Come out once let me show you
What life’s got to say.

So bright so blinding
Get me away.

So he went back to his corner
Everyday.

Don't Rhyme Lyrics
James Newton Mar 2021
If you like John Mayer clap your hands
If you like John Mayer tell me fast

'Cause so far I'm the only one
And they all make fun

That I like John Mayer
And his band

Tomorrow!
James Newton Mar 2021
Tomorrow
Behold!
With joy
Young and old

Enough thinking for today
Cry all your tears
But stay
For tomorrow!

Sans reason
James Newton Mar 2021
Does true love exist?
I wonder.
You tell me yes.
Prove me wrong.
It’s stupid you say,
But you run after it just the same.
Make fun of me.
It’s about time I don’t care.
I’d rather live in peace,
Than being alone.
Leave me searching don’t guide me
It’s a waste of time.
Ask me questions so I get lost.
Give me answers so that I ask questions.
let’s see you taste love just once.  
Oh how fast you’ll shut up.
Spot staring when I smile
Try finding me when I’m crying.
See that what you’ve made up
Is just that.
See that your hurting people.
Misleading them for no reason.

So does true love exist?
It probably did before you came along.
Thanks.

Good byes
James Newton Mar 2021
I don’t like you now
It’s too hard
When I first met you
It wasn’t so.

We’ll spend time together
We’ll have each other’s back
We’ll make a group to belong
Now it’s time to go.

So let’s dance and hug and be drunk
‘cause we can’t face reality
If you want to love me
Do it like you love your family.

Or if you think we did well
Then why are you acting so?
Goodbyes
Should be said like hellos.

I Don't Wanna Cry
James Newton Mar 2021
I cry, I try, I cry.
I don't know why.
If you know tell me please,
I don't wanna cry anymore.
If you see me roaming the streets,
How can you stay indoor?

I cry, I try, I cry.
I still don't know why.
Do you want me to believe
There's something in your hand when you keep it closed all time?
Do you want me to believe
That just by following you I'll turn out fine?

I cry, I try, I cry.
But now I know why.
I'm here to figure it out by myself; I have to be ready.
My life is mine and all about me,
Is that what you're trying to tell me?

Moving on
James Newton Nov 2022
Today when I hear your voice
It sounds so smooth, so perfect, so calm.
You are content and filled with joy,
You are at peace with yourself.

It is today I realize that the last battle is lost
as you head into the future.
I eat the dust you leave behind,
my tears form a rainstorm.

Tonight I go home and cry.
I cry for what you mean to me,
I cry for how perfect you are, and
I cry that it is not I who brings you joy.

Knowing?
James Newton Mar 2021
You don't even know but no worries,
You never will.

When you face a mirror and see someone else entirely,
Still the void remains unfilled.

It will haunt you forever but you'll stay afloat,
To your dismay.

As you are the victim of careless love,
But I'm not.

'Cause I know.

Missing
James Newton Mar 2021
There's nothing more sad than missing someone not for what has been, but for what could have been.

Todays Lesson
James Newton Apr 2022
Never open your heart to the shallow,
It will get stuck on the sand for everyone to see.

Stupid ******* tanning,
Your rusty heart disintegrating.

Never open your heart for attention,
Learn from me.

— The End —
