You win
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
You win... You know how to hit me
You know how to hurt me.
You win... You know what to say
And you know how to destroy me.

You've done your damage,
Again and again.
You've set me on fire.
And there's no way to win

Show me what ive done
Tell me what i did so wrong.
Please give your words justice,
so i know where i belong.

Take a step back and see what you've done
Look at your actions, and see what you've become...

You win

Staring
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
Things are numb all around.
I focus in, only to realize i'm staring.
There's nothing to be seen,
Just what my thoughts aren't sharing.
It's too easy to stare,
And to forget what was seen.
What if you stared,
...Thoughts so keen?

There is so much, so wrong.
But all i desire, is what's right.
The love and hate inside me,
Have begun an endless fight.
They say ignorance is bliss
Because the truth is so rough.
I tell myself, and others too, that i'm alright.
But that just can't be enough.

I'll stare... Aimlessly
Thoughts: Unread.
Just know there is so much.
That was left, unsaid

Stars
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
I think,
as i look upon the stars.
So small,
Yet we travel so far.

We walk so much;
But we search more.
Years go by,
but we search like before.

Like day and night,
people pass me by;
and i feel so small,
when i look up at the sky.

I see one,
or two thousand stars.
But only, am i only
looking up for (my) mars.

Where are you mars?
I've been promised (you) so much
"keep on looking"
"keep your head up" and such.

But where does the search,
come to its end?
When will you become,
more than my friend?

Jinxed
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
When you find the one,
That turns you to a lover;
Your heart breaks in two,
When that one, loves another.

Broken, shattered,
Distraught within:
Loving so much,
Must have been sin.

Terrified at first;
Not jinxing it was my goal.
Although we never touched,
You took my heart and soul.

I give my best effort,
To win it all back…
But time has gone by,
And travel is what I lack.

But like I said,
Once before;
You stole my heart,
And shut the door.

Too late now,
For more internal strife.
You’re long gone by now,
In…and out of…my life

A new
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
Nothing seemed to matter.
Not school, life, or air.
Nothing, until i met you;
And you said you'd be there.

So much has happened;
God knows that's true.
But not nearly enough,
To end my love for you.

Distance is scary;
Yes, i agree
But as long as I'm alive,
It's your's, i will be.

It was always you,
That inspired me most.
And if my heart were a party;
Then you'd be the host.
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
I see the world in her eyes
I see the confusion, yet I see the wonders
I see trouble, yet glory.
But most of all I see the deep blue,
I see freedom beyond all belief.
I see motivation and inspiration.
I see Life beyond death, and new beginnings.
Although I see these things
I also see lost hope, yet love
And memories of great times.
But knowing this, I realize it will never end
As long as I exist, I will see these things
But what to do with them is yet to be seen
My heart may be broken, but my sight is still keen.

A shelter of blue eyes
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
every second with you was special.
there grew this connection.
each day with you
became a jewel of my collection
no regrets, nor doubts
i gave you my all
i took shelter in your eyes
even when u let me fall
i began to give in
i was ready for forever
i may have been young,
but you should never say never.
still i stand,
vulnerablle as ever
writing these statements
to make my love sound clever
living this life
is now so tough
but when i had you,
you were always enough...

Sincerely, Love
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
Wow its been some time.
things slowed down, and sped back up.
i know this situation, ive seen it too much.
a case of "right person, wrong time"
but with you, time never catches up.

when you least expect it,
I'm thinking of you
you may be occupied, or lost in thoughts.
but the only thoughts that engulf me
are feelings for you, and i think you can see.

as this wonder of a world turns,
and as this miracle of life changes;
there are things still unexplained.
things that we wish to know, and things we fear.
but forevermore.. i fear no day, and i fear no night.
i fear only the day, with you not in my sight.

whether you are far,
or whether you are beside me..
the only day i fear is one without you.
a day without you in my life, and without me in a single thought..
the only day i fear, is the day where another person..
has the honor to fill my spot..

Sincerely, Love

No one
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
No one like you..
Not as far as i see.
No one can live close;
To what you will always be.

For a moment i may be fooled
The next, my thoughts show.
I know where my heart lies,
And i know where my thoughts go.

I feel the love.
And heartache every now and then.
But i would have it no other way
With anyone but......you my friend.

I don't care what happens
Or what i go through...
I'll go through hell,
Just to be with you.

Just to keep
Alan Bishop Jul 2011
There are nights...that may resemble this one.
And on these nights, there is nothing i want more.
NOTHING...that i want more, than i want you.
And when i think about these words i've spoken,
i realize...I have you, and i am blessed. No longer broken.

It's you i see...so clear in my future,
Its me, i see, beside you each day.
I cherish these seconds, for as long as i'll live.
I'll never regret, and ill never have to forgive.

Baby lets walk...one step at a time.
There's no hurry, i have all the time in the world.
I'll wait for you, and lay with you, and hold you as you curl.

Don't look to the past, and don't worry about your fears.
I'm here now, and i plan to stay.
I'll cure your fears, and I'll fight for you.
I'll stand with you, and i sware to be true.

You and me? We're different than the rest.
Everyone sees it, and i know that's ok :)
Time will bring strength, and strength will bring us close.
Closer and closer, we shall become; Even if the road is long and steep
Cause you're the one....that i'll always fight for, just to keep

— The End —
