Words left unsaid
Mia Dec 2012
I was there when it started
This pact between the sexes
The ceasefire and marriage
a union blessed by the heavens.

I walked the path
Well trodden by man
faithfully followed by woman.
He promised to protect,
She promised to support.

What was left unsaid
was she expected to be loved
He needed to feel strong
She wanted a romance
he thought he would be obeyed.

That's where we got it wrong
We all need the same thing
Someone that can listen,
in different ways.
We were meant to live
Together in peaceful union.

Command me
Mia Dec 2012
If only I had met you earlier
just a little earlier
My heart would have been
yours to wear on a sleeve.
To do with as you please.

If I had been born a little later
maybe I would be her.
The girl you get to carry,
Love and adore as daughter .

If we had another lifetime
I would find you am sure
And make you mine
To cover your lips with kisses.

But am only human
one heart, soul and mind
Although it's being split in many
every part of me is yours
To command as you will.

Meant to be
Mia Dec 2012
Why should one opinion matter so much
be the one that moves you
With a spring in your step
Or like death warmed over.

Why should one hand be
The exact fit with yours
Fingers entwined
and reassuring to the touch.

Why should one character meld
To the contours of yours
Leaving no scarred tissue
But giving you room to grow

I guess we were destined
To be together as one
Help each other through
the life left ahead.

Al-one
Mia Nov 2012
You gave me your hand
Reached out with your fingers
And led me on.
All the way and beyond
through friendship and more
Then abandoned ship
left me to set the sails
I thought you were below deck
But you had dived overboard
Into the turbulent sea waters
rather than sail with me.

You broke my heart
cut my chest open
Grabbed my heart and squeezed
the love and life out.
And now it can't beat
enough to keep me warm.
I shiver from the memories
Of the destruction you wrought
but mostly am alone.

in the cradle
Mia Nov 2012
I saw my dreams in the cradle
strength in the wood
Nostalgia in the chimes
Whimsy in the light.
I was little, I was alive.

The honourable gentleman
Mia Nov 2012
He was the kind of man
You could trust your wife with
Honourable and trustworthy
The perfect gentleman.

Maybe they took him for granted
Or trusted him too much.
He couldn't believe his luck
Finally he got a shot.

When asked what changed
He said he loved too much
More than life itself
everything else was a distraction.

He said he would **** for her
And he eventually did
The over bearing husband
That wouldn't treat her right.

Beauty sleep
Mia Nov 2012
Lay me down to rest
Between velvet sheets
shut my eyes with rose petals.
Adorn my neck with jewels
Lay my hands together
One on top of the other.
In my favorite dress
Absolute still silence
make it cosy and warm.
Spray my favorite scent
Like paradise upon my skin
And watch me sleep.
Nov 2012 · 207
This part
Mia Nov 2012
Losing myself
A little more each day
in trying to know you.
Letting you in
knowing I could get hurt.
You see much deeper
than most who look at me.

Crying out once more
Don't break my heart.
You have the part that matters
Just isn't enough for you.
Maybe I can't see it clear
when it's right before me.
You are wrong for this part.

dialogue
Mia Nov 2012
Can I say something?
promise you won't shut me out
Or freak out.

Tell me

I love you...

My hands are shaking..

Why?

I'm freaked

Why would you be?

Never thought that it would happen

I have just been hoping
that  if I didn't admit it somehow it wouldn't happen
We wouldn't lose control.

I love you too.

Am so into you,seriously.

You are so irresistible

so are you.. I can't get enough

I love talking to you

So do I. You should keep this
conversation as a memento.

am just so happy n it's cause of you

Happy? But I haven't done a thing..

just being around u did that, especially how great you treat me.

I love that it's mutual.

Promise that we will talk everyday _

We shall,as long as I'm still alive

I will always love you.
Nov 2012 · 285
How you make me feel
Mia Nov 2012
Could it be the feeling I get
that starts with butterflies
That I feel when you hold me.
Or the look in your eyes
that am perfect the way I am.
In your arms I lose time
Nothing else matters.
Cause I belong with you
Just as you belong with me.
I could lose myself in you
Cause with you I feel alive .
You make me see myself
In a different light
Or maybe am just in love
it's what you do to me.
Nov 2012 · 417
If destroyed still true
Mia Nov 2012
I wrote your name in the sand
but the waves washed it away
I love you, I love you.

I carved your name on a tree
but the bark weathered.
I want you, I want you.

I loved you once
guess I always will.
A moment for life.

If we should wake up one day
and not have love on our side
Remember that I love you
If destroyed still true.
Nov 2012 · 384
Anew
Mia Nov 2012
I watched you laugh
and realised you were happy
in your new role with another script
you didn't need me there
to peer over your shoulder
Keep you safe
guide your steps.

You are someone else's pair
joined at the hip
Creating a life together
one I can't share.
Doesn't matter that
I had you first
All that's left is memories.

You were my inspiration
my only reason
Still trying to forget you
Haunting my waking moments
I need to find who I was
Find a life of my own.
You're not here,
You're already gone.
Nov 2012 · 327
I want you
Mia Nov 2012
When you hold me
I lose myself
In memories and sensations
in the moment of you.
Your warm embrace
Molding my body to yours
I don't want to lose the passion
Of our bodies intertwined.
Consume me, invade me
With these sweet sensations
Only you can evoke.
I want you, **** right I do.
Nov 2012 · 210
In the end
Mia Nov 2012
No matter the pain
You get up

No matter the sorrow
You get better

nothing lasts forever
And you will be okay.

trapped
Mia Nov 2012
I should have walked away
Before I was ensnared
In your thickly woven spell
strong and bewitching.
However much I try to leave
all paths lead back to you
Tightly coiled circles
Confusing mazes
I am lost at your centre
You seem to have no room
For my pathetic addiction
I need you so bad
But you despise that
I must have been trapped
In a glass jar.
Nov 2012 · 272
Why can't i let go
Mia Nov 2012
You break my heart
you slit my wrists
I lose hope, I lose control.

You trample me
you suffocate me.
Am losing it, am dying here.

You give me up
you shut me out
Stupid me refuses to let go.
Nov 2012 · 267
You are
Mia Nov 2012
He makes me smile
with the little things he does.
The thoughtful gestures
and compromises for me
In trying to make me happy.

I know he is the one
Cause my heart flutters
when he says he loves me.
I long for his embrace
His heated hands on my flesh
I want to be branded by him
And become one.
Nov 2012 · 265
Forever is but a moment
Mia Nov 2012
I want to wake up next to you
Snuggled in your arms
listening to your heartbeat.
Hold you close and inhale
your sweet musky scent.
Know it will always be
a fairy-tale made by the best
feels so right and great.

I don't want to have to leave,
part ways knowing we can't be
Together one more day
one whole night, a moment.
Time would be so kind
to freeze and give us eternity
Cause I would need forever
to tire of you.
Nov 2012 · 201
it's over
Mia Nov 2012
You walked away
Tore my heart to pieces
Made me lose my will
To live, to watch,to learn.

Gave me up
when all I wanted was you
To hold me and tell me
You would always be there
To fix me and make the pain
go away.

You were all I wanted
and yet deep down I knew
Couldn't have you
Never would.
I have to move on now
Pick up the pieces and fix
All that I am.
Nov 2012 · 365
another chance
Mia Nov 2012
If only I could close my eyes
Wish this all away
I would close my eyes
And just start over
have a new life
With a little less stress
Love what I do
And live life different
please only myself
It's too short to come last
Too hard to not take it easy
Too wrong to not be right.
Nov 2012 · 455
Normal
Mia Nov 2012
I watch you jump
Take a swan dive into the ocean
And know it's over.
You have conquered fear
gravity and life.
What more can't you face?
I am mere mortal
Not an immortal goddess
When you have lived among
The gods.
You can not feel content
With the normal.

What is that anyway?
Someone that laughs at jokes
Or one that has walked through the fire
And come out scarred
but whole.
With experience and spirit.
Nov 2012 · 315
It's not you, it's me
Mia Nov 2012
Watching you cry
Made me realize
it's not you, it's me
Breaking your heart
maybe am selfish
Wanting you to be perfect
when am not.
A little love is all you wanted
I gave you alot of grief.

Hate to see you hurting
feeling like it's your fault
You tried your best
Wasn't enough for me
I must be crazy or why
Would I throw away
The one that treated me right

It's not you, it's me.
Don't fall apart
Don't let me go
I'll love you better
You know it's true
Just don't stop loving me.
Mia Nov 2012
Even in death she mocked them
They that turned up to watch
Her laid to rest.
These people she had loathed
in life everyday
whose help she scorned.
The one whose man was loose
A meaningless philanderer
Another that gossiped
Of the good, bad and ugly.
She wouldn't accept their help
They thought her a charity case.

She danced on her grave
was this what death was like?
to look down on your body
Peaceful like in sleep.
The years had not been kind
She looked ravaged by nature
wrinkled like a wilting flower
Ashen grey and crumbling
She danced because it was over
The hardship that was life.

Light as a feather she felt
She could be herself again
not have to conform to others
pretend to be what she wasn't
she was a free spirit
reign to wreck havoc
On the neighborhood folk
Them that were hypocrites
She would give them lessons
a haunting they wouldn't forget.
Nov 2012 · 284
time
Mia Nov 2012
A moment is all I want
To have you as mine
Touch you
Hold you.
But those days are long gone
When all you wanted was me
Who cared what the world
thought or wanted
I was all you could see.

Time is running out
If only we didn't have to
Stop
Wait for things to change
I yearn for a time back then
When I had you
Wrapped round my finger
you looked out for me
And I miss that
I miss having you.

Patterns
Mia Nov 2012
some people are repetitive
hurt you and broke your heart
will stand you up tomorrow.
don't wait hoping for change
it's written in the threads
the view to the eye
will always be the same.

the abstract pattern is unique
precious as a rare gem
complicated  misunderstood
people see what they want
a different view to every eye.
he will make you laugh
and also drive you nuts.

some patterns are common
see it in everything around
simple, average, not the best
can be found with everyone
he gets along with all your friends
but they all want better for you.

everyone loves the pretty one
easy on the eye and appeals to all
charming with the ladies
and a gent to boot.
he always knows what to say
a ladies man,but yours.

what pattern would you be?
and which one do you want?
can people really change
or are they patterns
stuck as what they are
and who they have around.
Nov 2012 · 386
I Need
Mia Nov 2012
I just need a hug
to know that you care
hold me and enfold me
so I know you won't let go.

I just need a kiss
to know that am desirable
slow  sensual hold my head
and pull me real close.

I just need you
to make me feel whole
all that I am responds to you
you complete me.
Nov 2012 · 691
The mask
Mia Nov 2012
sometimes I wear a mask
to hide my pain.
cause if you can see my eyes
soulful and liquid
you would sink in the depths
of my bottomless sorrow.
if there is no band aid
to soothe my wounds
then I need a mask
something faceless and blank
something soothing and alive
am wearing my mask
to keep me contained.

The day you walked away
Mia Nov 2012
my turning point was the day
you walked into my life
and the day you walked away
I hoped you would stay
longer than a while
but all it took was a ****
and then you rushed away.

I thought you would hold me
when i was falling apart
couldn't wait for you to be
my hero and friend
you quit when i needed you
turned your back on me
walked a mile away
without a second glance.

Can't you see am crying
the tears you used to wipe
this time you just watch.
am losing all that I was
strength,courage,magic.
without you to hold my hand
guess deep down I miss my anchor
and my best frend.
Nov 2012 · 601
If only
Mia Nov 2012
If I could have a day
to pretend it's all ok
sit back and not worry
about everything and everyone
we could have had forever
and been in a fairytale
instead we are stuck
on opposite sides of the room
watching and waiting
for a sign that it will be ok.
yearning for the calm
I only get in your embrace.
with you I knew love
adoration and pain.
that you would hold me,
protect me from myself
but also from you.
I just wish you trusted me
enough to hold on
see what it's like to fly
without reservations
to love with everything you got.
Nov 2012 · 366
I want you
Mia Nov 2012
hiding what I feel isn't working
cant have you when i need you
all I see is you
in the air,in the night
I want a hug ,I want you
to tell me it will be ok.
that it was a mistake
that you want this too.
don't break me
you know i want you
wish you could let me
show you how great it is.

Want you back
Mia Nov 2012
you used to be mine
and now you're not
I see you look at her
the way you used to look at me
with a twinkle in your eye
a light only she brings.

I hate this girl you're seeing
kinda makes it sink in
we are never getting
back together.
I miss knowing you're mine
to cuddle and hold.
to call at a quarter past one
and sing how i need you now.

You were all I wanted
till i changed my mind
and now she is all over you
and I want you back.
not to have and to hold
but so that she can't have you
yes am selfish,
but I want that look back.
Mia Nov 2012
some days you like me
draw little tattoos on me
hold me and kiss me
take me on long walks
around the scenic route.
be all over me
and act like my prince.

But other days you ignore me
act like am some random girl
or part of the wallpaper
don't pay as much attention
to what I want or need.
maybe am selfish
or maybe I deserve all of you
not just the part that remains
when you go AWOL
Nov 2012 · 399
Different
Mia Nov 2012
different

have you ever wondered
what it wud be like
if you lived another life
had a different house
friends that aren't the same
the sky is gray not blue
and flowers grow on walls
would you be a better person
just cause you are a different person.

midnight walk
Mia Nov 2012
I feel alive
like light coming to the sky
dewdrops on leaflets
a breeze on a walk in the night
a voice in the wind
whispering nature's secrets
it's never too cold
for a midnight walk.

senses coming alive
like waking from slumber
nerve endings tingling
I must have dreamt I was awake
in the lucid moments of my wake
I begin to shiver
and embrace the night.

Star crossed lovers
Mia Nov 2012
It's cold outside
no one to walk down the road with
am all alone
a little girl that has lost her way
had everything taken away.
there is no hope for tomorrow
no sun for the morrow
only rain on the windowpanes
a rushed coupling
goodbye forever.

They are starcrossed lovers
together but apart.
ever yearning and praying
that the sun would give more
a few extra hours
to laugh and to cuddle.
sneaking around in the shadows
wishing on a star
that fate would switch them over
give them forever.
Oct 2012 · 402
You and I
Mia Oct 2012
come to me
with arms wide open
heart fast beating
spirit eager to find its kindred.

lie with me
under the starry night sky
wishing for forever
no regrets whatsoever.

Be my lover and friend
to share and care
hold my hand through it all
and i'll hold yours.
Oct 2012 · 208
with you
Mia Oct 2012
I wanna sit with you
be alive with you
watch the sun come out with you
everyday I watch you smile
at a joke I said
or watch you reach out
hold my hand and live
it is with me that you wake
see the light
and love.
Oct 2012 · 555
your love,all I want
Mia Oct 2012
lie to me
that you love me
and you care..
wipe my tears when I cry
most times you're the cause
hold me,don't scold me.
Breathe me in don't let me go.
carry me in your arms
go all the way and back.

Everyday am losing myself
sinking in your warm embrace
yearning for a bond beyond words
follow me to the ends of the earth
only if you love me back.

lost
Mia Oct 2012
in trying to be your angel
I've lost sight of who i am
there is no light left
I hover in the shadows
a lonely spirit.
I am lost,trying to find
the part lost for you.
shed in a bid to keep you
but incomplete isn't enough
not even for you.
finding me is now everything.

The Night
Mia Oct 2012
sitting under the star lit sky
watching the world go by
wondering why the moon
only comes out at night.
could it be that it is afraid
of the sun and the light
or maybe just shy
either way it's just an orb
circling round the sky
suspended by our tears
hanging by a thread
of real strong emotions
only letting the air
come between it and sky.
what I would give to be up there
alive and carefree
glowing in the night
like a big round moon
or even shine like a star.

In the rain
Mia Oct 2012
In the rain i feel alone
forlorn and unloved
yearning for your embrace
your cold lips on my hand.
the warmth of your touch
on my sensitive skin.
the smooth caress of your
featherlight touch.
sleep eludes me
your face invades my mind
and I long for a walk in the rain
to clear my head of you
to feel your presence with me.
In the rain am alone with you.

Under your spell
Mia Oct 2012
The enchantress has got me
under her soft illusionary spell
only her my eyes see
as angelic as the monalisa.
Me don't mind being a pet
My senses so aroused
tuned to her every need.
My heart beating in time
to her spirit's pulse
Me walks where she does
skipping along the path
she has lain with flowers
Me drinks from her essence
overflowing with power
pretty as the universe
me don't mind this spell.

Now that you're gone
Mia Oct 2012
It has been a while
since I first saw your face
and since I saw you last
you had me dancing to
the tune of your charm
walking on featherlight feet
barely touching the ground.

I still feel the emptyness
left by your essence
you filled the space around
and now am alone.
hard to face the truth
that you are forever gone.

I buy your favorite flowers
lay them by your grave
walk your favoured route
and feel you by my side
then am not so alone
your touch on my shoulder in the sun
your kiss on my lips in the wind
your desire in the storm
though you are gone you are here.

wake up call

someone disappointed in you
who once thought the world of you.

let me be me
a diamond rough round the edges
taking my time
getting where I belong.

Just justice?
Mia Oct 2012
How just is justice?

little children are orphaned
Mothers lose their little ones
a jury is asked to give verdict.
Prove
beyond reasonable doubt.
Not even a hint of uncertainty.
An aggressive defense,
the guilty made a victim ;
Framing, hearsay, lies.
the snake will stoop so low
Perjury without a fear.
Taking away mercy.
Laughing at the easy win
Mocking the legal system.
At most ten years,
mayhaps less for good
Behavior, a pat on the back.

A hero's death
Mia Oct 2012
could it be that we were fated
for nothing less than a heroes death?
a fight to the death
with only the best?
no mercy or games
winner keeps their life.

or maybe like romeo n julie
die for a cause;love
but would you really ****
to save a life
or be the man on a ledge
demanding a fair trial
where you arent condemned.

bonnie and clyde had it great
life on the fast lane in banks
but running aint that easy
you cant keep a home and kids
they too couldnt live forever

some people only live to die
pointless painful ends
like watching a rope burn
or walking on fire
could it be that life is empty
but a shell we inhabit for a while
and watch as it is crushed.

Willful Invasion
Mia Oct 2012
I take you in
on the breath of a kiss
your warm hard body cradling mine
your gentle hands holding me
closer and closer each second
cupping the back of my head
caressing my hair.

Yes,I inhale you
on a breeze in the cold night
watching the moonlight
lying side by side in silence
listening to the rhythm
of bonded heartbeats.

I can perceive your thoughts
just as though they were mine
memories of yesterday
wishes of forever
in this moment you are all I want
and we belong in the now.

Without you
Mia Oct 2012
It takes baby steps
to fall out of love
yet falling in love is fast
like a rollercoaster ride
going with the waves
up and down.

you can't unknow someone
whose very essence is burned
into the depths of your soul
can't forget the one
who fills your every waking thought.

I want to unlearn every lesson
forget the bad memories
learn to let go of the pain
discover who I am and who I can be without you.

cries of a little girl
Mia Oct 2012
deep down am a little girl
longing for a mother's touch
wishing for angel wings
to enfold me in a loving embrace

am daddy's little girl
playing at his knee
being carried to the heavens
knowing I am a precious treasure.

can't you see it kills me
to watch daddy and mommy fight
I feel so unloved
like they are fighting because of me.

Daddy don't leave us
I promise to be good
mummy don't let him go
don't you see I need him so.

you are a special girl,
they say.
two homes where they love you
all I want is my parents together

end of romance
Mia Oct 2012
what is it about marriage
that ruins romance?
could it be the routine
or the familiarity
taking each other for granted
making less effort
forgetting why you fell in love.
