I'm horrible with words (not as bad as I am with silence)
They all make sense in my head, but I **** them up when I speak.
So I keep them to myself.
Because who the hell cares what I think about
music, and literature, and war, and you.
No one cares that I hate the color yellow,
And that I can't remember who sang that song,
And that I want to see that movie from the commercial.
And that I like it when I hold you at night.
I'm saying this for me
Because maybe it will help me communicate
Maybe it will help me articulate
Maybe it will help me formulate the words
Maybe it will help me tell you
That I love your smile, and your eyes,
And I hate not being with you
Because I still get butterflies
And I care what you think, and I want to keep you satisfied
Because I don't want you to leave.
But the words get lost between my thoughts and my mouth.
And I know you think about what I'm thinking
And wonder what thoughts I'm keeping
And try to figure out what I'm hiding
And why I won't tell you
That I can't live without you
or I won't live without you
or I don't want to live without you
or..
..**** it..
Are you asking how I know?
Well I guess I could tell you,
Let's give it a go.
I know I'm in love by the way my heart pounds,
Don't you hear it?
It makes a very distinct sound.
I know that it's true, because I'm not one to blush.
But this feeling she gives me, is this incredible rush.
What do I mean?
Well, my heart will skip a beat or two,
My stomach does flips,
If only you knew.
I get light headed,
And I don't know how to explain why,
But I get so happy, whenever she's at my side.
My pulse will quicken, and my hands will shake.
She's always on my mind, for goodness sake.
I lose my breath, when she kisses me.
It's so overwhelming, I get weak in the knees.
All my thoughts seem to just disappear,
Anytime she comes anywhere near.
And when she's gone, my days seem to never end.
With a deep anticipation to see her again.
To have her lips pressed up against mine,
Or even our fingers, to be intertwined.
She makes me forget everything bad.
And makes me the happiest whenever I'm sad.
I could spend all day and forever by her side,
Because it honestly is nice not having to hide.
Hide from what?
I'll write about that another day.
But as of right now,
I can honestly say.
This is true happiness,
I know, at long last,
Oh look, there she is now,
And my heart's beating fast.
Our eyes are the same,
A nice shade of blue,
Through those eyes you have seen,
All that was then,
And all that was new.
Your hair is dark,
My hair is light,
You have that special spark,
All that you bring is bright.
Your lips are soft,
Soft enough to kiss,
You have a big heart,
Big enough to miss.
Your arms invite me in,
You make me happy when I'm sad,
All the time I am with you,
For that I am glad.
I'm in love with your soul,
I know I can count on you,
Somewhere in my mind,
I know you love me too.
I was reading my notebook
Dedicated to you
All the different colors
Pink, green, purple, and blue.
I was so drawn
Into writings of past years
And when it finally ended
It left me in tears.
As I flipped through the pages
I was stopped dead in my tracks
When the pages went blank
And I couldn't turn back.
I had reached the end
Not even halfway through
This unfinished story
Of both me and you.
My heart kind of sank
When I saw it was through
But it's time to move on
And I'll always remember you.
Thinking
Thinking
My head can't stop thinking
My scars are healing
I'm no longer bleeding
Beating
Beating
My hearts quickly beating
My heart is beating
And I can't stop thinking
You
You
You're the thoughts on my mind
You're the beating in my heart
Without you I'm blind
Wait
Wait
Slow down
Take a breath
Stop thinking so much
Make this moment last
This moment right here
My heart--it warms
Lying down
You safe in my arms
A protected protector
Saved from my mind's hell
I'll do anything to protect you
As you protect me from myself.
Love is a funny thing...
It's the most beautiful and most exhilarating emotion one can feel. It can change your whole life, it can help you live longer, happier, and let you be at peace when you die...if it's mutual...if it's not, however, it can slowly break your heart to the point that you no longer want to live and you're restless at night, and constantly dream about the one you loved and didn't love you back, and if it gets worse you drive yourself to suicide, and write a letter to that person, and die without ever knowing their response. Love is a funny thing, it can be a life changer--for better...or for worse.
No words
Just pain
All loss
No gain
A complicated life
Is all ive ever had
No one understands
I think im going mad
No place where i belong
No place to call home
This pain is overtaking
I just feel so alone
Im not sure where to go
When all the roads are black
All the doors have closed
Its getting hard to fight back
Im trying to hold my breath
Til im finally out of the dark
Ive been pounding on these rocks
To make at least a spark
A spark to call my own
A spark thats full of hope
That maybe light will soon be there
And no longer will i mope
Im tired of all these voices
Screaming and shouting in my ear
I sit here all alone
Just waiting for smoke to clear
Once its all gone away
Its just me standing in the street
Waiting for a car to come
And knock me off my feet
Im not really sure
If its worth all the regret
To feel an ounce of belonging
Is all ive ever needed
Ive been trying to get better
To get passed all this pain
But even the strongest people
Tire of dancing in the rain
Im not really sure
How things will all turn out
Or if anyone will ever understand
These words flowing from my mouth.
