You were my dad that I once knew,
But little do you know the pain you put me through.
I've grown up and realized
That your life is nothing but one thousand lies.
You say that you love me more than I know
But if that were true then why doesn't it show?                                    But don't forget I'm your blood,              
But obviously that doesn't mean anything to you,
I remember when I was the twinkle in my daddy's eyes.
You say mom's standing in the way
And all she wants is for you to pay.
Maybe that's true,
But what can I do?
I'm your daughter,
And you're supposed to be my father.
Does that mean anything to you?
But that you'll never see,
And a father you will never be.
If you could see the tears running down my face.
Still the years have passed you can't replace.
So, Dad, I've given up on you, and this time I'll leave.

Comfort on difficult days,                                                            Friendship to brighten your day                                                       Sunsets to warm your heart.                                                              Beauty for your eyes to see,                                                       Confidence for when you doubt.                                                           Faith so that you can believe.                                                         ­             Courage to know yourself,                                                               Patience to accept the truth                                                            ­         And love to complete your life.

Sometimes,                                                       ­I suppose I am happy                      
When I am with my friends,     
Throwing my head back and covering my mouth                                                            ­ As I shake with laugher                                 At a joke someone just made.                      But then the day turns to night            
And my carefree grin turns into an unexplainable sadness.                                 I lay in bed.                                        Thinking about all the things  I wish I could say.                                                       All the things I'm afraid too admit,                                                           ­      Even with one pen, paper, and one mind.                                                            ­ It's nights like these when I realize             I am many things                                            I am happy and sad,                                        Outgoing and shy,                       Quiet                                                            ­    But mostly,
I am empty.

I had no where to turn, I had no where to go.                                                              ­   This is just something I think you need to know.                                                                 I don't know what made me trust you.        I still remember the day I told you what I've been going through,                                 I thought I should run away, go hide in a hole,                                                               But then you brought out my true soul.     As each day grew longer,                              Our trust became stronger                         
Each time I wanted to cry                              You stayed right there by my side.             ~Alyssa Nichole

Angels laugh,
At my suffering.
My body is no temple,
And when you touch me
They are entranced
My silent sobbing
Is the music,
That falls in the back
Of their Sunday evening soap.
At least I'm entertaining.

Same place, different directions,
But for now I'll take your road and follow your instructions.

I'll follow your lead,
Just don't break my heart I plead.

The walk to our destination is powerful,
Dancing in the rain and running through meadows are wonderful.

But things start to take a turn for the worst,
Taking each other's path might be a curse.

There's alot of bumps and rocky roads ahead
"Should I turn around and start my road again?"

"No, if you love me you'll follow me to the ends of the earth",
But that choice will leave me sad, heartbroken...hurt.

So take your own path,
Do this and you'll safeguard your heart.
Trust me I've been there before,
Taking that road will leave you quitting and walking out the door.

Relax, your time will come very soon,
In this game of love, you'll get everything you want, including the moon.

Everyone's trying to get there, so enjoy each other's company with elation Understand that you both are going the same place called love... just different directions.
