no space in between
our bodies are attached
we fit perfectly together
your chest against my back

our bodies intertwined
it's a beautiful thing
your arms pull me in close
my heart wants to sing

the warmth of your body
sends chills up my spine
even on the toughest days
you make everything feel fine

I wonder what you're thinking
when you hold me so
your fingers interlace mine
I never want to let go

stay here forever
take away all my gloom
I love everything about you
you're my big spoon

Your Choice

I don't want to be just an option
I want to be somebody's choice

I want someone to melt each time they hear my voice

I don't want to be used
I want to be loved

I want someone to turn my grey skies blue up above

I don't want a mystery
I want things to be as they seem

I want someone to be the man of my dreams

I don't want to be alone
I want to fill this space

I want someone to smile whenever they see my face

I don't want to be that girl
I want to learn from my mistake

I want someone who won't make my heart break

I don't want to be an option
I want to be somebody's choice.

Just an Option

I'm starting to realize the world isn't as beautiful as it seems.
The way someone can just go and crush all of your dreams.

--------------------------------------------------

Just a fool vulnerable to his touch
Enjoying the way he made her blood rush

If he wants her to stay the night
It means he really likes her, right?

Wrong. Just like one of those sad songs
She now can sing along

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm starting to realize that some people aren't as wonderful as they seem
When you end up liking them better in your dreams.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Innocent girl who gave all her heart
warned by her friends that it wasn't very smart

But with the words that he used
it wasn't really something that she could choose

The way he tricked her in order to keep her coming
Her heart would pound- a constant loud drumming

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm starting to realize that it's hard to believe in your dreams
When your young heart has been ripped apart at the seams.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Her heart is in irreversible pain
His name is now said only in vain

His image is all she has left
But he has everything- clever theft

Her mind is filled with so much regret
He is something that she'd like to forget

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm starting to realize that happy endings aren't common in life
when each day lived is a constant strife.

---------------------------------------------------------------

He was a priority. She was just an option.

not worth it

the world seems so much colder when you don't have a hand to hold.

the ceiling fan above makes me dizzy

the empty space in my bed makes me numb

having no money makes me feel stuck

sometimes I feel like there's nowhere to run

I push the thought of you to the back of my mind
And cover it up with fake laughs and smiles
Until the memory of you appears
And I remember that I'm alone

the world has less color when you don't have someone to paint it with.

the food in my mouth has no taste

the heat of this town makes me sweat

I get nervous when I hear your name

you're something I'd like to forget

I'm doing fine and enjoying life
Until your face appears
Everything changes and it's like I'm back at square one
left to face it all on my own

the world is so much lighter when all the weight isn't on your shoulders

the ticking of the clock makes my ears mad

my heart seems to skip a beat

the slow rhythm of my breathing makes me feel lifeless

vulnerablity was my defeat

I gave so much of my heart and soul
And have nothing to show for it
You seem to be doing just fine without me
I've got nowhere to go but up

the world is so ugly when you take a closer look.

the way someone can be so selfish

the way someone can just bring you down

some people just aren't worth your time

I think I gotta get out of this town

Thoughts

Your smile
When I wake up in the morning
Your laugh
When I drive in my car
Our kiss
When I’m busy at work
Your arms
When I’m home alone
A broken heart
When I can’t sleep
An empty bed
Where you used to lay

A girl can dream

Tangled in each other
Warmed by your touch
My heart is slowly melting
Is this love or lust?
Maybe it’s neither
Just a silly game we play
All I know is that your body seems to fit
Perfectly with mine in every single way
I don’t want to lose this feeling
Or even move from this spot
Im in love with the idea of us
Whether the odds are against me or not.

Use Me

no words are needed
we both know what will become of this night

the attraction is there
but the need is greater

we want to be wanted
but are we afraid to be loved?

sensual kisses mistaken for compassion
why do we use eachother in this way?

im tangled in your sheets
but more wrapped up in your words

clever lines to keep the act going
tricks to my foolish heart

I tell myself this time it's different, it means something.
a weak attempt at making myself feel better

A girl can only be used so many times
but hey I kinda like the attention.
