There's no one who bugs me, irks me and makes me mad.
There's no one who hounds me, pesters me and irritates me.
There's no one who angers me by forgetting special occasions,
or forgetting to call,
or gets unsalted butter rather than salted at the grocers.
Only You.

There's no one who makes me roll my eyes
with his twisted philosophy, illogical excuses and faked innocence.
There's no one who makes me purse my lips in disagreement,
when he comes home from so-called overtime work,
smelling of cigarette smoke and whiskey.
There's no one who makes me bare my teeth with exasperation,
when he doesn't talk when I want him to,
when he seems to not listen when I think he needs to.
Only You.

There's no one else who knows to buy me tulips,
when he's trying to ask for my forgiveness.
There's no one else who sings "Wonderful Tonight" off-key,
when he sees me in my most tattered pajamas,
with my hair standing on end
and my cheeks and neck crawling with rashes.
There's no one who cooks a meaner chicken soup,
when I'm sick and force-feeds it to me in bed.
Only You.

There's no one who kisses me in the sweetest,
most breath-taking way in the park,
in the rain while we're jogging.
There's no one who makes me laugh
with his spot-on impression of my favorite comedian,
while watching a home video on date night,
and sharing a big bowl of buttered popcorn.
There's no one who makes love to me in such a selfless,
most gentle way, making me feel like
I'm the most loved, most special girl in the world.
Only You.

There's nobody else who makes me love him,
who makes me want to keep loving him,
in all his perfection, all his imperfection,
all the things that make him a man.
There's nobody that I am most willing
to brave all the storms with,
nobody I desire to grow old with,
and give all of my self to...
Only You.
Don't judge me when you look at me,
  There's more to me than what you see.
I am a person just like you,
  And yes I have feelings too.
People only see what they choose to see,
  Never trying to see the real me.
I know that when they look at me,
they see the person I used to be.
Try to look beyond my face,
  Perhaps put yourself in my place.
Please try to look inside of me,
  At the person I'm struggling to be.
You won't see the person you think you see,
  I'm nothing like you think I'd be.
So don't judge me when you look at me,
  There's more to me than what you see.

When people ask me to describe my father,
I try to do so as best I can.
He is a giant standing at least seven feet tall.
He is stronger then Atlas and Super Man put together.
And when he smiles, he can illuminate even the darkest of days.

When people ask me to describe my father,
I try to do so as best I can.
Because truth is he was never really there.
He was a magician, who at the drop of a cape would disappear.
He always smelled like old cigarettes and cheap alcohol.
And when he yelled at my mom, it would wake me from any dream.

When people ask me to describe my father,
I try to do so as best I can.
Because truth is, I never really knew my father.
But I can imagine what he would be like,
if he was still here.

I know why you are single,
it's because you make bad choices of men.
You always like the players, the fighters and the broken.
For once, stop trying to fix all of them.

I know, I know.
My love life is a mess,
But if you got to see what I've seen in them you'd understand that love is not a catalogue and I have never made a choice.
I fall in love with that small spark between all the dark spots.

I want to be free
Free from worry

I want to be free
Free from too much responsibility.

I want to be free
Free from people of mediocrity.

I want to be free
Free from celibacy.

I want to be free
Free from relationships that eat away at me

I want to be free
Free to be just me

I want to be free
Free we will see

I need a friend to confide in
Someone to tell about my sordid sins
I need a friend to hold me close
Someone to give me my morphine dose

Many friends have come and gone
Why did none of them stay that long?
Many more friends I shall find
I cannot be forever wearing this lonely sign

So will you be my friend?
Hold my hand until the end?
Tell me that I'm always right?
Even if I start the fights?

I am in love with you.
I know we can't be together.
I am aware of our ages.

But,

I get jealous.
I don't think anyone is good enough for you.
I think of you as my daughter.
I think you could be my soul mate.

It's complicated,
I try to talk myself into not loving you.

But,

Talk is cheap,
My love is true.

Raw words
My motives are unclean
They pour out like the ****** stream
Deep and unknown to the site of a man I once dreamt to be with
It's not about love now
It's about freedom
It's about never needing them
Feeling free I doubt I'll be
Without him really here
He's so dramatic but too charismatic
A serious disposition that I refuse to endure
The feeling of real love
Crazy love, real love
Something told me I shouldn't call
but I can't stand to watch you fall
Alone
Stay calm, your mind is beautiful when at ease
Stay calm and we can be the ones to watch the sea
Crazy love crazy like no ones there
Your face is blank like a stare
a glare
Or a rose colored pair
I found a shadow perched in the palm of my hand,
weaving his cloudy limbs about my lifeline,
he said
"I came here from far far away
where wicked shadow creatures pass,
wave,
and pretend
we all lived through it.
I came here from far far away
to live here on your lifeline
and shout hello's to every long lost soul
you pass,
and do a funny dance for every tortured soul
you wave to,
and pour myself into the trenches in your skin
until you are brave enough
to stop pretending,
you lived through it."
A woman walked by, that I knew from
somewhere far far away.
She passed,
                                                
                                    I waved,
                                                                                      
                                                                  we pretended.
