Hazel Eyes
Always Ally Jul 2014
I fell in love with your eyes
The same ones that sparkle
Through all your years
I love how they crinkle
When you gently flutter your eyelashes
I'm completely hypnotized
I see all your feelings flash
behind those hazel eyes

Strong
Always Ally Nov 2013
I want to be called strong
Not beautiful, not smart
Strong
Not physically, but mentally
I could get along as long as I'm strong

I want to be strong
Maybe as I had been before my illness
Maybe as I am after

I know I am strong
I have been, and always will be
I am strong even as I am weak
I am strong even in my last week

A Simple Sunday
Always Ally Nov 2012
Morning sunlight lighting the dark hardwood floors
Pages being turned and voices no louder than a whisper
People shuffling in and out the doors
The rain coming in at last
Shifting the clouds
Now to overcast
Watching silently just barely a glance
Observing life as it is
Hoping for the chance
To feel something more
Become something better
Moods always changing
According to the weather
I sip the burn of this morning roast
Nibble my eggs
Crunch on my toast
People in the park sway on the swings
Probably thinking
Of such trivial things
Man on the corner of the street
Checking the time
He's got somewhere to be
Getting back to the daily grind
A tearful woman sitting on the bench
Crying her heart out
From the guy who called her a *****
Life appears all around us
We choose what to ignore
The sick, the healthy
The rich, the poor.

Never Dreamed Of That

One day she went outside

Forgetting
Always Ally Mar 2014
My mind flickers on
The slides start to spin
Music starts playing
The movie is about to begin

So dim and blurry
Can't quite see what it is
It looks like eyes
Or that shirt of his

I reach out to grasp the fleeting images
They darken and tear
Please don't leave
You'll be lost again in there

The Words
Always Ally Nov 2012
The words flow through me
Like a river stream
Passing over pebbles
Leading me to my next dream

Past a meadow
With tall flowing grass
Wind in trees
At peace, at last

The sun warming the top of my skin
Filling me with sunshine
All from within

The words remind me
All of life
Can be full of happiness
Or great strife

So I'll remember at the darkest of times
To be glad of what I have
All that's mine

While I could be complaining about life
Someone is struggling for theirs
I want to let them know
Somebody in this world cares

The words can help
The words can hurt
Help you feel safe
Or keep you alert

Words are just words
But can mean so much.

Paranoia

Love At First Sight
Always Ally Nov 2012
A single glance
That's all it took
Fallen deeply
With just one look

Your blue eyes
More a turquoise sea
Or how I wish
You were with me

Your dark curly hair
And full lips
What I'd give
For just one kiss

And if we should ever meet again
I wouldn't hesitate
To walk up to you
And ask you on a date.

Daybreak Dawn
Always Ally Nov 2014
Is my heart a petty thing
You are a petty crook
You steal glances at me
My heart is one of many you took

Goodnight used to have luster
When it was shared between our lips
Now you fall to her
Her seductive smile; the curve of her hips

Is my trust a petty thing
Or have I mistook
The truth we shared the lies she told
You reeled me in on a hook

Love her but remember me
One day you'll be wishing
To know where I'll be
I'm long gone on daybreak dawn
Nowhere to be seen

Oh Moon, Oh Goddess
Always Ally Jun 2016
Oh Moon, oh goddess;
why do you weep?
I know too well of your lonliness.
I know too well about the darkness that surrounds you.

Little light lingers from the end of a day.
The same light that approaches you.
It shuns you, pushes you away.

You believe nobody sees you, but
I know many who admire your
shimmery shine.
Plenty look to your silent beauty.

Oh how the stars are yours and nobody else's.
For they are just as dazzling;
yet you outshine them all.
The glimmer even at a glance of a sliver of you
is enough to allow a decadent sigh.

Give Me A Reason
Always Ally Nov 2012
Give me a reason to love you
From every little thing that you do
Whisper my name
Whisper your love
Give a reason to love
You

May it be the way you see things
May it be that way you wink
Only at me
Calling me your baby

Just one reason is good enough

Give me a reason to love you
From every little thing that you do
Whisper my name
Whisper your love
Give a reason to love
You

The way you leave me notes
The way you try to hide it when you gloat
When you wrap your arms around me
At night
Keeping me safe
Making everything alright

Just one reason is good enough

Give me a reason to love you
From every little thing that you do
Whisper my name
Whisper your love
Give a reason to love
You

The way you kiss me under the moonlight
The way you always miss me
And tell me I'm right
I don't think I'll ever
Let you go
But you need
To know

Just one reason is good enough

Give me a reason to love you
From every little thing that you do
Whisper my name
Whisper your love
Give a reason to love
You

You gave me a million reasons to love you
And now I think
I do.

The One I Blame
Always Ally Mar 2015
It is me
At fault
For having high hopes
For having great expectations
It is me

Always my fault
Always wrong
Am I right?

She Is Better

Only myself

I Am Frozen
Always Ally Nov 2012
I am frozen
At the scene of the crash
Behind the camera
In the front seat
Seeing the camera flash

I am frozen
Lying cold
Heart stopped
Complete silence

I am frozen
Behind the camera
Tears sliding down my cheek
As the reporter talks on
Thinking about my family, my loved ones
Who could easily be gone within a week


I am frozen
At where it all happened
Only seconds ago
Said goodbye to my loved ones
Only not to know
That last goodbye was truly the last.

A Little Too Late
Always Ally Nov 2012
It a little too late now
She's already gone
No one was there
When things went wrong

She did it to herself
It was only a matter of time
She didn't know that
She was one of a kind

She didn't know that she was loved
She felt alone
Unwanted
Not at home

She didn't speak out
Just out of fear
She wouldn't reach out
She thought no one would hear

She was told I love you
A little too late
She was told you're worth it
A little too late

She didn't know it wasn't too late
So she did it anyway
She didn't know if anyone would care

She wanted to end the pain
She didn't know about how much she would cause
To everyone around her
To everyone she loved

It's a little too late now
And the damage is done
It's getting late now
You sit at her grave to watch the setting sun

Always thinking of her terrible fate
Always thinking about how you were
A little too late.

Come Home
Always Ally Nov 2012
You pick up your suitcase
Looking for new places to go
Something stops you
A whisper
Come home, come home

You swallow your fear
And hope for the best
Knowing this is what you wanted
Come home, come home

Ignore the whisper
You tell yourself
But what if you shouldn't
Come home, come home

Grab a little keepsake and place it with a note
In the package ready to send
By your picture
Come home, come home

You can't go home
You just can't
You left for the better
Come home, come home

Think of your life now
The great people you know
But you think of all the great things you left
Come home, come home

Years pass
You take a right onto a pebble path
You've done it at last
*You're home, You're home
Always Ally Nov 2012
I was alone
Young in age
Filled with sadness
Filled with rage

Tried to speak out
But no one heard
Not a whisper
Not one single word

Got used to depression
A familiar friend
There always
Until the end

I didn't need anything, anyone
I did everything on my own
I got used to the cold
I got used to being alone

The girl with no future
The girl with no path
The girl angry with the world
Full of wrath

They starred and they whispered
But I didn't care
I'd cut my skin
I'd cut my hair

The girl who had nothing at all
The girl who suffered the fall

Your Everything

Your laughter
Is like sunshine
It warms me up inside
Make me feel like everything's alright

Your eyes
Are forgiving
Sparkle like stars
Are full of excitement

Your hands
Bring warmth to mine
Wipe away my tears
Are soft like silk

Your heart
Is as wide as the sky
Is loving
Is Mine, just as much as mine is yours

I love you, all of you
Your anything
Your everything.

Dance With Me
Always Ally Nov 2012
You're across the room
You're sweet perfume

My nervous mind
In a crowded room, you're hard to find

The music's loud
There's a dressed up crowd

Awkward dancing
And nervous laughing

It's so simple
It's so easy

Just one question
Will you dance with me?

I Always Thought
Always Ally Jul 2014
I always thought imperfections were beautiful
And you didn't need to be perfect to be loved

I always thought pain was temporary and necessary
In order to know true happiness

I always thought love fought through the hurt
Because love is a surviving thing

I always thought you'd be here
But I guess I was wrong

I always thought many things were true
But that was before I lost you

I'll Be Okay
Always Ally Nov 2012
Don't say I haven't experienced life
Because of my age
As far as I'm concerned
I've been living every year of my life, every single day

Don't tell what to think
I have a mind of my own
I learn of these life lessons
Once I'm grown

Don't tell what I'm doing wrong
Just what I'm doing right
I'll make it through
The night

Don't leave me before I ask you to
I might need your help someday
To be honest, to true
Until then, we'll go our separate ways
Just know that I'll be okay.

The Astronaut

You're so set on destroying yourself
And there's no place you'll stay

Claiming all you need is space
But I'm afraid you'll float away
Wherever you may be
Gravity,darling, gravity
Won't bring you back to me

The Night is Alive
Always Ally Nov 2012
A
Single light
In the sky at night
Shining and leading the way
Twinkling in the eyes of the future, and the past
Waiting on a change that might never happen or never last
Bringing people closer than ever before
To a new life and a new world
Measuring the distance
Of hard work and long days
The night is alive
With stars of love
Hope and
Faith

Welcome to the freak show
The freakier the better

Men of half the normal size
Performances at length

Beware of the night
For you might over welcome your stay

Change
Always Ally Nov 2012
Change strikes the heart
Piecing you together
Tearing you apart

Leaving you a mess
Leaving you at your best

Showing who you really are
Challenging you to rise
Being you
Despite the judgmental eyes

Change is good
Atleast thats what they say
I suppose it is or may be
One day

It's New
Always Ally Nov 2012
It's new
But
It seems right

The way we hold hands
How you hold me tight

We just met
But you know me so well
Whenever I'm upset
You can tell

You'll buy me roses
My favorite kind
I didn't even tell you
You'll say that you read my mind

It's new
But now we've grown old
Everyday is new with you
Or so you've been told

I hold your hand
As if we just met
The love still there
But better yet.

The Love That Doesn't Last
Always Ally Nov 2012
Don't convince me to stay
When I'm already gone
I loved you then
But not for long

It was good then
But as the saying goes
All good things come to an end
Or so I suppose

I'm sorry
But I had to leave
I'm sorry
Please, forgive me.

Old Friends
Always Ally Nov 2012
I've known you forever
But now your eyes seem cold
Unforgiving
If truth be told

We've grown apart
We're different now
We'd apologize
If words would allow

Keep in touch we had said
We no longer talk instead

A sympathetic smile
And maybe a wave
Maybe, just maybe we'll be friends again
Someday.

It's Not Fair
Always Ally Dec 2014
It's not fair
To tell me I burden you
I didn't ask for this
I'm trying my hardest really
Do you think I want this?
Did this on purpose?
I want to be the girl who talks to people without hesitation
To speak my mind
To get up and dance
To not cry when I'm alone
Not be unable to breathe when I feel the slightest bit of social awkwardness
Not be offended by everyones' joke and jab at me
Which usually leads to more crying and hating myself
I don't want to look in the mirror and hate what I see
I don't want you to think I'm off putting because I'm quiet most of the time
I don't hate or dislike you
I hate and dislike me which is why I could never talk to a person like you
I don't want to love feeling second best at everything
I don't want to be treated differently because of my physicality and mentality
I don't want you to leave
I don't want you to feel like you have to fix me
I can't be fixed
Pain is relentless and forever
I stare for long periods of time contemplating my death
But I realize I can hurt the people that hurt me
I am weak
I am sad
I wish I could stop feeling this bad
716 · Nov 2012
I Would
Always Ally Nov 2012
I'd be an idiot
To say I don't miss you
To say I don't get it
That I don't know what to do

I'd be a mess
Without you
Without us
A love once so true

I'd cry if this came to be
If this would happen
For you and me

Until that day
We have this time
The rain will wash away
And the sun will shine.

Battle of The Mind
Always Ally Jul 2014
If I close my eyes you're here

But I'm not real

But you're here and you're alive
You're breathing

But I'm not real, I'm not alive

But touching you feels real
Your hands, so soft
I remember them being soft

Don't you understand
This isn't really me
I'm gone

I don't understand anything
You're here and why can't that be okay

Because I'm not really here
it's not okay for you to go on this way
You must let go

I tried and isn't that worth something
Can't I be allowed this moment of bliss with you

I'm not real
This isn't real
Let go Milo, let go
I'm dead and you must let go

I'll never let go
You're gone but my love will never leave
Forever is a simple thing
Death isn't an easy thing, When you lose somebody, it takes its toll on everyone. Some people react differently and have different ways of coping.

But you are still you.

I'll be yours even if only for a moment
Whenever you feel it is right

Where is it
The hand to hold
Why is it
That it has gone cold

You are gone
From your place next to me
You chose it this way

Is she more for you
Are you less for me

Before I put an end to me
Wake up
Wake up

Willows of Halloween
Always Ally Sep 2018
Somewhere in the willows
You hear it through the walls
Starts as a whisper
But then it soon calls

Make your way to
The adventure that awaits
You are the key
That opens the gates

Troubles and trickery
A daring little spell
Bring your wits about you
Hope it goes well

Witches are brewing
Skeletons will dance
Vampires are preying
You'll be put in a trance

Haunted are the willows
Who call out your name
Answer to them
You must finish the game

You could be crunching too loudly
You could be here but you're not
Always Ally Jun 2016
You are my thoughts in the morning
You are my thoughts in the night
For you I'm forever yearning
But I mostly hope you'll be alright

Even at my own sacrifice
I want you to smile again
For God granted us this life
So we must give and take what we can

If you should think of only sorrow
Please let me lend you a hand
Please wish to wake up tomorrow
Please don't give up yet
