Sideways Glances
Cassie Mae Jun 2011
I caught the sideways glances
you threw at me.
I imagine second chances.

With each look something advances,
something neither of us can see.
I caught the sideways glances.

With each smile, inside me, a feeling enhances,
a feeling I can't let be.
I imagine second chances.

Forgetting all the past romances
forever I am your devotee.
I caught the sideways glances.

Thoughts of you trap me in trances.
With a fear I'll never be free
I imagine second chances.

Remembering tonight throws my heart into dances.
I wonder what you thought of me.
I caught the sideways glances.
I imagine second chances.

Claim me
Cassie Mae Jun 2011
You never wanted to claim me.

I was just a ******* your arm. You never made me feel special.
Maybe I'm the one to blame. I could've committed more to you.

But maybe I never could give more,
because

You never wanted to claim me.

It hurts now that she's something more to you. What more is she than me?
Does she put up with your insults? Do you tear her down, too?

You never wanted to claim me.

I was never your girlfriend. I was someone you were seeing.
I was not someone you saw the future with. I was the girl you ******.

You never wanted to claim me.

You *******.

Tanner (How I Remember You)
Cassie Mae May 2011
How I remember you.
Your brown eyes,
your sweet smile.
The little things you cherished
from our days spent together.

How I remember you.
Your soft laugh,
your gentle touch.
The way you could tell me secrets
the ones you'd never tell anyone.

How I remember you.
The closer we got,
the further I fell.
You became my best friend
and the one who meant the world.

How I remember you.
The summer turned colder,
our nights grew shorter.
As the seasons changed around us
you grew to love another.

How I remember you.
The way you broke my heart,
the way you let me down.
It's not often I think of that summer
or the emotions you made me feel.

How I remember you.
Your brown eyes,
your sweet smile.
The little things I cherish
from our days spent together.

Alpha
Cassie Mae May 2011
Brisk air chilled his bone
rising sun called him home.
Frozen earth crunched beneath feet
his chest grew tight accepting defeat.

Lone stranger wanting acceptance
tail between legs recognizing deception.
Howls filled the meadow
snarls directed at the young fellow.

Coward runs from menacing yips
avoiding jaws at heels that nip.
Mist rises from the water
following him as he wanders.

Moved to tears
Cassie Mae Apr 2011
Moved to tears,
that's how I feel
when I think about our years.

How you helped me fight my fears,
every touch was so real,
moved to tears.

It's been all these years
and with the devil I have made a deal
when I think about ours years.

No help from my peers
could rid me of the pains that real,
moved to tears.

With snickers and sneers,
all my love, my whole heart, you steal
when I think about our years.

Love inside me still rears
it's head, so surreal.
Moved to tears
when I think about our years.

Cowboy
Cassie Mae Apr 2011
Rough
is not
the right word.
Tough in the face,
gentleman to the
core. A love for his girl
so deep it could fill the seas.
Hold her, cowboy, lasso her
heart. Pull her in with a soft touch.
Do not fence her, but do not let her run.

Wildfire
Cassie Mae Apr 2011
You are the fuel to my flame,
gasoline meets a struck match.
I know I'm the one to blame.

I always fall victim to your game,
myself, from you, I could not detach.
You are the fuel to my flame.

Once we met, I was never the same,
fire burned the forest, the whole patch.
I know I'm the one to blame.

With your heat you took aim,
I was the easy catch.
You are the fuel to my flame.

With the roaring wind you did not tame,
you ran away with the key to my latch.
I know I'm the one to blame.

Your wildfire left me here in shame,
you were the itch I could not scratch.
You are the fuel to my flame.
I know I'm the one to blame.

He never called it love
Cassie Mae Apr 2011
He never called it love,
but I held his world in my hand.
How strong he felt we never spoke of.

A pedestal he had me sit, high above,
to look upon his heart, his sacred land.
He never called it love.

It seemed we fit, our hearts, like a glove.
Reciprocation was too much to demand.
How strong he felt we never spoke of.

Persuaded was the heart, gentle shove
to a feeling not willing to expand.
He never called it love.

Up on a pedestal, so high above,
wind blew feelings away like sand.
How strong he felt we never spoke of.

Losing him I never thought of.
Eternity was pictured and
he never called it love.
How strong he felt we never spoke of.

Secret, hidden
Cassie Mae Mar 2011
It is my secret, hidden this
fever that boils under my skin.
Burning sensations through our kiss.

heartache for a man I can't miss.
In a battle I can not win.
It is my secret, hidden this
fever that boils under my skin.

Inhibitions
Cassie Mae Mar 2011
The first time I saw your smile
all inhibitions were lost.

Calling time my own, it's been awhile.

I'd do anything, pay any cost.

The first time I saw your smile
all inhibitions were lost.

Cassie Mae Mar 2011
To my face
you were sweet
Behind my back
you were anything but

I put faith in your words

To my face
you paraded a smile
Behind my back
you displayed a smirk

I was coaxed by charm

To my face
your eyes were trusting
Behind my back
your lips betrayed

I returned your dally

To my face
you were a man
Behind my back
you were a boy

I wanted the gentleman

To my face
you can't hide
Behind my back
you will be alone

You Think I Am
Cassie Mae Mar 2011
I am not
who you think I am.
The girl you met
late one night at the bar
who so easily let down her guard.

I am not
the girl you spent
the night holding so tenderly.
The girl you called
so pretty, so beautiful.

I am not
who you think I am.
The girl with no defenses
has rebuilt all her fences
with steel, iron, barbed wire, voltage.

I am not
so easily bought
with pretty words, gentle kisses.
The girl who I am
would never let you in.

I am not
who you think I am.
The girl you like so much
doesn't want your touch
or anyone else's.

I am not
who you think I am.
I am independent,
fine with being alone,
taking care of myself.

hurricane you
Cassie Mae Mar 2011
the cold air
seeped through the denim
the seat of my jeans.
the damp ground
warmer than your eyes
looking into my soul.

looking at you
in that moment
i knew i'd never
forget that feeling.

the rain fell
all around us
forming puddles.
the clouds broke
basking the hurt
in new light.

in one summer storm
in one cool afternoon
in one blink of an eye
in one bitter heartbreak.

the taste of salt
lingering on lips
mixing with acid rain.
blurred vision
clearing up
like the weather.

i sit alone
on the soaked earth
on my empty bed.
i cry surrounded
by memories
by the storm

that was you.

I Use To
Cassie Mae Feb 2011
I use to love a boy.
He meant the world to me
and I to him.
I use to call a boy mine.
We would walk the streets at night
sharing all our secrets.
I use to kiss a boy.
He was so special to me
and I to him.

One day the boy decided he didn't love me anymore.
One night I cried into his arms as he told me we'd always be friends.
One summer we talked everyday as the sun set.
One night we got closer than we ever had been.

But he still didn't love me again.

I use to hope he'd come back to me.
We'd make ourselves a home
our kids would grow up there.
I use to dream of us growing old.
His hand in mine
as we slipped from this world.
I love a boy.
He means the world to me
but I not to him.

Somebody Else
Cassie Mae Feb 2011
Today I want to be somebody else.

Nails painted black
hair to match and cover my eyes.
Tight jeans,
loose t-****.

Today I want to cry.

Tears stream down my face
no one around to question why.
Black makeup,
rivers down my cheeks.

Today I want to hide.

Underneath a curtain of black curls,
only the wind gets a peek at my face.
Over-sized sweatshirt,
unlaced shoes.

Today I want to be somebody else.

Today
Cassie Mae Feb 2011
Today I tasted you on my tongue
it was a strange sensation, it's been a year
coffee, peppermint, cigarettes
mingled once upon your lips when they met mine.

You were my ladder with a missing rung
the climb I would always fear
the fall I would always regret
we both know we were a waste of time.

The one before was my song unsung
he is the memory I hold so dear
the one true love I won't forget
after him, loving you was my only crime.

You knew his hand was where my heart hung
to you it was perfectly clear
the whole of me you would never get
now today I pay the fine.

World of Strangers
Cassie Mae Feb 2011
I want to write a love letter,
send it flying,
anonymously,
into the wind.

Off the balcony of my hotel room
I'll send words from my heart
into the hands of a stranger
walking the streets.

They will read each heart felt line,
and believe the words are meant just for them.
For a  moment that stranger
will feel cared for,

because of the words I let go
into the wind.

Dark
Cassie Mae Feb 2011
Sometimes you need someone to hold you
when you can't stop crying,
when the sobs come
and you can't stop shaking.

When the nights get too dark
and the sun won't rise,
you need someone there to tell you it'll get brighter.
Someone who will hold your hand through the nightmares.

But when the world is at it's cruelest
it leaves you to stumble through the dark alone
and through blurry eyes, a foggy mind,
you surrender on your knees.

Can you possibly recover?
Will you ever stand again?
Questions for eternity circle in your mind.
You're clouded judgment pulls you down.

You stay at the bottom waiting for someone,
someone to grab your hand and pull you up,
up out of the hole you dug yourself.
In the blackness, crying, you wait.

Boy in the Elevator
Cassie Mae Feb 2011
It could have been you,
boy in the elevator,
who I was meant to be with.
But we never spoke.

You were reading a book,
boy in the elevator,
I was reading one, too.
But our eyes never met.

Do you think we have a lot in common,
boy in the elevator?
Do you wish you would have said hello?
Do you wish I had asked what you were reading?

There was something about your eyes,
boy in the elevator,
that made me dream of you.
But I don't even know your name.

Boy in the elevator,
I wish I knew your room number.
I would come knock on your door.
I would ask you on a walk.

Boy in the elevator,
I'm sad I let our moment pass.
Maybe you were the one,
boy in the elevator.

School Girl Crush
Cassie Mae Jan 2011
I’m going to make this a laugh
because that’s what it is.
You’re smart, cute, and charming,
everything for that I wish.

But there is one thing in the way,
a girlfriend,
“together since high school”
or so you say.

Me and her,
that girl you’re with,
we have the same occupation,
but she, for you, changed location.

Think about the hobbit-like children we could have,
curly brown hair is not so bad.
With your “girlfriend” the kid would be a ginger
but with your button nose that might be cute, go figure.

Don’t you think we’d make a cute couple?
I know I do!
You’re tall, I’m short.
It’s a match of sorts.

Our children could be normal sized,
taller than me,
but shorter than you.
It’s a plan I’ve thought through.

The exchange in the hallway after lunch
was a little bit awkward, but I liked it a bunch!
Maybe tomorrow we can sit together
and, again, talk about the weather.

Your accent is adorable,
the way you say “about”
and various other words
that sound funny when they come out.

It’s a school girl crush
and I feel so silly
because I’m all grown up.
C’mon, Cassie, really?

It was so easy
Cassie Mae Jan 2011
It was so easy to get to know you.
Almost like the stars lined up and brought our worlds together.
How cliche, but that's how easy it was.

It was so easy to be with you,
like we had been together before.
That summer could have been the start of an eternity with you.
That's how easy it was.

Talking about the past, the present, and the future was so easy we could have been telling the stories to old friends.

It was so easy to be apart because we knew we would both be coming back to each other at the end of the day.
There was never fear or concern if you were late.
It was so easy to trust you.

It was too easy in those two months to fall in love,
but we both knew you would leave.

It was easy when you drove away the first time.
We knew we would see each other again soon.
Keeping in tough was easy with phone calls and letters.

It wasn't easy when you drove away the second time.
I knew you wouldn't call back and that I'd never get a letter in return.

It wasn't easy a year later when I ran into our old friends or when his eyes reminded me of yours.

It was too easy to fall for you under all the stars.
It was too easy to let you in with the warm summer breeze.
It was all too easy to be so heartbroken when it came to an end.

The Hard Goodbye
Cassie Mae Jan 2011
"Happy"
She says to reassure herself.
She paints on a smile
and gets out of bed.

"Great"
She says to her friends.
She laughs when they laugh,
but cries for help inside.

"Yes"
She says to him as he takes her hand.
She'll smile when he does,
but she doesn't want him.

"Bye"
She says to the gun.
The note on the counter explains,
at least better then she could.

you take my breath
you stop my heart

you cloud my eyes
and i can't see where i'm headed
i'm falling for you

My fingers were burning
yours were centimeters away.
Your voice filled the silent night
sending chills down my spine.
Your smile lit up the dark wood
making my lips tingle.
Butterflies filled my stomach
our arms brushed so slightly.
The cold air warmed against my face.
Your presence felt right,
it made sense,
you should never leave.
My heart aches when you go
afraid you'll never come back,
afraid all these feelings
won't be returned.

Just take my hand,
kiss my lips,
make everything

perfect.

Beautiful Thing Called Love
Cassie Mae Jan 2011
This beautiful thing they call love
is nothing but a constant ache.

A pain that starts in your head
and retires in your heart

words

until it bursts

into millions of pieces.

Ruined.

Dark Sunrise

It was the dark
that held me.
Laying on the grass
collecting dew,
breathing steam.

The moon,
the stars,
black wrapped me up,
and held me.

Then,
there was you.
Then,
there was morning.
A sunrise,
red, orange, yellow.
So bright I shut my eyes,
you shielded yours.

The dark came again.
I felt something,
deep inside,
a tug,
a pang,
a hurt.

Fumbling,
crawling alone
into the dark again.

I can still see you.

There's no more sunrise.

Blue Skies
Cassie Mae Dec 2010
Sunshine,
blue skies above.
Somewhere you are under
a blue sky, too,
or gray.

Owl
Cassie Mae Dec 2010
Owl
Owl,
wise, quiet,
flying, gliding, striving.
Predator, smart. Prey, small.
Running, hiding, dying.
Brown, little
mouse.
