My page seemed to be blank
I looked at the emptiness and my heart rate sank
I felt the unfilled lines creep off the page
coated with a fearsome rage

Refined with the rejection of my pen,
Enough to end the lives of a thousand men
The lines danced around my throat
Tempted me to start what I never wrote

It started,
“There once was girl, faint-hearted was she,
For her first love was forced to flee
And now dreadfully parted
Her heart beat ached and flickered
For their love and lust still lingered…”

I sat and stared at the twisted sentences
And reread these words of emphasis
The lines sorrow set flight
Allowed my pulse to sleep that night

I see the demons
Surrounding me
Choking me
Just over taking me

these feelings never been set free
Feelings of hate and misery
Like a boom created in chemistry
Tick, tick, boom

Used for the suffocation of society
promised to end its entirety
Carried out like life’s philosophy
Only to end in tragedy

The lives of millions become history
For you all live in idiocy
Unable
Untold
Unbelievable

You all are blinded so easily
Not willed to act freely
You have been misguided so eagerly
Your lack of education appalls me
Why you even sit here is clueless to me

I can see that you disagree
But I can see me in you to a certain degree

I see the hate and misery
I see the boom you and I created too easily
I see the fuel to it, all too clearly
And Its not me

I may say it as I see it
But that’s because
That’s a portion of me,
I’ve looked into that mirror so thoroughly
I’ve lost track of what was me
But I’m back finally
And I’m ready to be free

I wish you knew

The tears hidden behind these eyes
The fears deafened with this laugh
The pain numbed with every smile
It has been years since either all have shown

And to tell the truth
It is all because of you
I would like to think I am better off without you
Because you may have lifted my spirits high

Which left me hang up and dry
Everyone thought I would not coupe
Well, I guess they were right

Because these eyes are finally showing their tears
The fears overcame that laugh
And the pain ripped away each smile.
The fake has faded into black

And I only wish you knew

I wish for one breathtaking moment
Fill of love for a single, simple sentiment
Where I can kiss the skies a goodnight
And cease this agonizing need to fight

I wish for the ability to exist beyond
That of this limited physical bond
Which cradles me like a helpless infant
As it makes me feel as fragile as an ant

Yet...

I wish for the strength of said creature
As its raw power is its highlighted feature
It can work hours on end and still go on
Like the madness faced by every mom

I wish for the patience of those women
To do all that anywhere, how and when
It should be impossible to even think
Through the chaos of the markers ink

Smiles locked away behind doors
Tip tapping of feet upon the floors
A closed up room for two souls
A love seen only through keyholes

Laughter heard through the walls
As two hearts tumble down the halls
A slight change to the pace of my pulse
And an emotional reaction of convulse

I realize that my heart has speed up
My mind can't seem to shut up
Not sure if you and I are a thing
Or is this just a little something something?

- E.A.F
A connection is formed, but to what degree? We'll just have to wait and see...

You say I told a lie about last May
And if that's what you think
I guess there's not much to say
I'll untie the anchor, let it sink

Go to a place where you'd love me
Somewhere my truths aren't lies
Disappear so I can no longer see
These heartbreaking replies

No more attention seeking
That you felt I was up to
No more having this feeling
Of my heart ripped in two

I don't want to remember this
I only want the good moments
When you were proud
You even said it out loud

- EAF
Elizabeth Fruin May 2017
All I have pictured are your fingers
Dragging along my skin
If you're wondering if it lingers
I can tell you, sit down, let it sink in

My sleep was not a go ahead
My words were never said
Never given the choice to say yes or no
That naturally means its a no go

But you had to be a fucken ****
Is this the man your mom would want
The boy she spent years loving and grooming
Only to have him out there groping and ******?

Don't say the drinks or **** did it
Or that I was drunk and asking for it
My silence was more an answer than less
A passed out drunk is never a yes

We all have that speck of dirt
It may be your lack of comfort
Or the past and all its anger
But at times its of no danger

It could be your need to be you
Or your darkest inhibitions coming true
There are all kinds of outcomes
Some with resolutions or more problems

'cause we all live in a little glass box
As true as waves hitting the shores rocks
We find ourselves surrounded by ourselves
Not knowing about the dust on the top of our shelves

Others will tell us their opinions and views
But that's like playing with a bomb fuse
We deny our faults in front of them all
No matter how big or how small

We are oblivious to who we are
We don't know if we're dust or a star

- E.A.F
We have something that surrounds us, usually its us.
Elizabeth Fruin Oct 2014
But the thing is,
Is that how ever many times I try this thing called love
I can't seem to grasp it,
I feel like its a flying dove
and I'm just a lone cricket..
Unable to follow it into the sunset.

As the cherry blossoms reached for one another
A lady filtered through her memories of yesterday
From her first concert to her very first lover
To the first time she was forced into the fray.

As the winds blew and the leaves danced
Her memories became something of the past
Faces became a blur and unrecognizable at a glance
And all she felt was hidden behind a sorrowful mask

Everything she once knew was fading out.
Replacing confidence with a fearful doubt
Each step, each corner changed in a haste
Each word, each breath became a waste.

No one to help her anymore
All she could do was change her window to a door

I've been stuck on words to say
With each and every passing day
They have become out of reach
As I search and search and search

I'm looking for a single sentence
To hold up my own defence
How am I supposed to hate you
When all I can do it love you

You held my heart in your hand
So you squeezed and squeezed and
When it finally gave out to the pain
That's when you tried to love me again

I don't know what to do with my heart
Its in shattered pieces on my sleeve
I don't I dont know what to do with my heart
Waiting for you to leave ..... again

Maybe I'm the person who backs away from compliments
Who sits on the sideline to watch the nights events
The one who doesn't like the spotlight on her
Who has a feeling she's got the answer but isn't sure..

Maybe I'm the person who sits on her hands in class
You know, that person who always avoids the mass
The one who doesn't do well with the crowded halls
Who always looks away from the teacher when she calls

Maybe I'm the person who hides behind book covers
Because the books tell of dragons, fairies and lovers
Worlds where she's the princess, soon to be queen
Or a kickass ninja fighting robot machine

Maybe my imagination takes me to far away places
Maybe I imagine the friendliest faces
Maybe that's because no one in reality was friendly
Maybe you should look at me and see me differently.

I’ve been left with countless memories, moments of us
All the feeling we once shared, like love, happiness and trust

But my heart is aching
Its breaking
I don't know what to do now
I don't know when, where or how
No, not anymore,
I’m too sore

I can see the fork in the road
I’m taking its as the code
To see if I live my happily ever after
Even if I can't hear the laughter
Or see the smiles
'Cause I’ve traveled far away, for miles and miles

Out of sight, just like I wanted
But I can’t help but feel haunted
By what u left me
By what we could be

I’ve walked bare foot in the rain
I’ve tried to control the pain
But I can’t contain
No, no no
What I’m feeling
No no no

'Cause I Thought you loved me
But turns out I was blinded by glee
this fork lightened the shadows
And opened all the doors and windows

And when the light seeped through
I realized that we were finally through

Each characters story and adventure has,
Not the same plot,
However, the same emotions.
Their laughter fills my air,
Their first kisses make my lips tingle,
Their happiness leaves a constant smile upon my face,

Their wit and courage bring tears to my eyes,
Their fears and ambitions make reality seem plain boring,
Their delay of reactions and disorientation's help to remind me that their only human...
Everything about them seems so real,
That when they concur obstacles beyond their abilities
All I can do is smile knowing that I had the faith to continue reading their tale.

When words were my only comfort.
Elizabeth Fruin Nov 2014
A woman sits across from me in the mirror
I pretend she's not there even when I see her
Her heart aches to be heard and seen by me
By all I can do is look away obliviously

I act like she isn't there to echo my truth
The fact that her wrinkled eyes are my youth
I see through her eyes everyday with no remorse
Going about my life not looking back at the source

The things that made me the monster I am now
I don't hate these I hate how I let them endow
They took me over little by little until nothing...
Nothing was left but girl dangled from a string

- E.A.F
To all who see age instead of their youth... ♡ wish you good luck ♡
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
We’ve shared moments I couldn’t explain
Some of love, some of joy and even pain
You were my comfort during the lonely nights
Even if you went crazy everytime you saw lights

You and I were the best of buds from day one
Some found your craziness to be a lose, I was convinced I had won
’cause what came with your weirdness
Was a heart that was never emotionless

You waited for me everyday after school
You may have even acted like the biggest fool
And maybe you were in some ways
But I loved you any ways

So I’ll try not to be too sad that you left
And I’ll try not to consider your hold on my heart as theft
Because you were there when I was in need of love
I guess I just can’t handle that you’re now living in the sky above….

in memory of my pup named Roxy
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
His words and body language had been imprinted on my mind, his grin that played on his lips, those dimples that caused my mind to go high.
Although, each time our eyes meet, my heart fluttered, my stomach filled with reawakened butterflies and all I heard was the song to his voice, the melody to his movement and the tune of our synchronized heartbeats as the seconds passed us by. My ears rang with each glance; my heart escaped its cage with each thought. Yet his smile was what made my toes curl and my nose wrinkle when it appeared.

His voice played music and that smile offered a dance when seen. I gladly accepted every time. As we swayed left, then right, and left, again… time slowed to a standstill. Laughter filled the air and he caused my heart to enter my throat with each note to his song, but time never stops for anyone, so we had to apart.
Although, my heart prayed, begged for another song to be sung, another dance to be done. Alas, the moonlight was bright and the stars were my comfort, until we said our last good nights… for his kiss upon my cheek was my delight.

not a poem, but i still love this piece i wrote a while back!
Elizabeth Fruin Feb 2015
Guess my hearts more fragile than it seems
Cause your the plot to these bad dreams
I keep reaching out for your voice
And wondering if I made the right choice

Since I realised what the true love is
Its when you smile 'cause of a kiss
Its something that over takes everything
Makes you feel like your heart should be a ring

Hoping it goes on and on and on
so that this love never ends
But here I am singing this ****** song
wishing we were still friends

But we'll never be friends
No never be friends again
Our love passed like those trends
But I keep looking back to when

When we first said I love you
Or had our first dance or two
When I first felt that  tinge when we kissed
Or when I didn't doubted the moments missed

Guess my hearts more fragile than it seems
Cause your the main plot to all of these bad dreams
I'm missing the sound of your voice
And I'm figuring out I made the wrong choice

Now I'm echoing to the world screaming set me free
I don't want to feel this anymore
Please take away this heart sore

Cause Since I realised what love is
I know you're the one that I miss
The sound of your heart beat
Made this empty soul feel complete

So now I'm hoping it doesn't go on and on
'cause I'm tired of singing this song
wishing you were still my friend
But I guess everything has to end

- E.A.F

We’ve known each other for far to long
We’ve stood together through thick and thin
For instance, you hugged me when I cried during king kong
And I’ve admittedly lost to see you win

And you my friend have got it all wrong
Yes you my friend think this is a friends forever song
but no (x3)
this one (x3)
is for you

You see my friend, I don’t want to be friends
You see my friend, your my someone

My someone to do crazy things with
My someone to dance and sing with
My someone to cry on
My someone to wipe my tears gone

My someone who’d say my name and rejoice
My someone who’d crumble at the sound of my voice
My someone who’d think “wow, she’s beautiful”
My someone who’d say “a life without you would be sorrowful”

We’ve known each other for far to long
We’ve stood together through thick and thin
For instance, you hugged me when I cried during king kong
And I’ve admittedly lost to see you win

And you my friend have got it all wrong
Yes you my friend think this is a friends forever song
but no (x3)
this one (x2)
is for you

You see my friend, I don’t want to be friends
You see my friend, your my someone

Elizabeth Fruin Jan 2019
It's been months since I was by your side
But love is a feeling that no one can hide
I miss the smile that you gifted me with
But your smile has become something of a myth

I still remember the ear to ear grins we shared
And all the emotions that left me so scared
To think that I thought we could be something
Has made me begin to wonder about everything

- EAF
To all that have felt one sided love
Elizabeth Fruin Jan 2015
Feeling alone in a crowded room
Sitting. Waiting for something to happen soon
Something like the glories of life showing their faces
Peaking over the horizon stealing her to new places

Maybe there's a place of pure bliss
A place where she won't have to feel this
Where people aren't forced to pretend
Where nights of tears aren't a days end

Maybe the world will have pity
On a girl who is no longer fun and witty
The only thing keeping her above the tide
Is her ability to hide hide hide

She hides away her tears until nightfall
Scared if she even let a single drop show at all
That her reality will smash to pieces
Her place becoming something of a nuisance

Just light up another ciggerate
And let me smoke my lungs dead
How else am I supposed to handle it
When my heart can't lead my head

Let the air I breath change for worse
Don't call out when my pulse slows
No need to bring a doctor or a nurse
For I am that single withering rose
Heart broken is not a nice state of being. Good luck to my fellow sorrowful souls❤
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
When I see you, I can’t help but bite my lip and twirl my hair
To feel no care in the world and it only seems fair.
I can’t help but lower my head as my heart rate heightens
And to have all my inhibitions disperse as my sorrow lightens

And when we speak, I can’t help but tuck a curl behind my ear
And smile like an idiot while your near
To cross my arms
As if to shelter myself from your charms

Even if I try hid it
And there’s no point trying to deny it
Because, I still giggle like a child on a sugar high
And I would never want to say good bye

‘Cause I get butterflies only wen I see you
I feel longing only when I hear your voice
And I only need you to be the one to say ‘I love you”
And to be your one and only choice
You may be clumsy and a bit of a goof
But one day soon I hope you’ll make you move

For Wen I see you, I can't help but bite my lip and twirl my hair
To feel no care in the world and it only seems fair.
I can't help but lower my head as my heart rate heightens
And to have all my inhibitions disperse as my sorrow lightens

Somehow, We both seem to have a problem with a few things
We stutter and sweat over the smallest of things
Like your mumbled hello and my hushed good bye
And the in between where we’re only able to try…

Even if I try hid it,
there’s no point trying to deny it
I still giggle like a child on a sugar high
And I would never want to say good bye

Love Stuck <3
Elizabeth Fruin Nov 2014
Not all youth have the privilege of being young
Life has a way of making us old and high strung
We may not notice it the first few days or years
But all those times life made your eyes rain tears

It made you age a little bit faster than the norm
It created a havoc inside of you that became a storm
And they say that in order for the rainbow appear
You have to sit and wait for the rain to disappear

But the waiting is maybe the hardest thing you'll do
The constant wondering when will it all be through?

- E.A.F
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Rooms of multiple emotions
Each step taken with my inhibitions
A breath of stale air
Lead to feelings I couldn’t bare

A flash of memory and hope
Only to be shot through a snipers scope
The past and future were probably dead
This only caused the fire to b feed

Each room was over flowed
Some dark, others glowed
Unable to see right from wrong
Not knowing when to be strong
Or how to be weak
And let that tear run down my cheek

You see, in the mist of these nightmares,
I wondered if anyone truly cared
Fore I sat alone in that corridor
And asked for something more

Something to cause me glee
Instead of an instinct to flee
Then a hand appeared in mid-air
I looked and wondered how it got there

And then a saw a beaut
She was as young as I
But as we locked eyes
She morphed, she aged
She shifted and changed

To someone who never lies
To someone who saved me from my own demise
And despite all the trouble
Refused to let me crumble

My rooms now glow with all my pain gone
That’s the reason I call you my Mom !!

- E. A. F
to my dearest mother
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
a pillow full of tears wasted on you
a box full of tissues no longer new
a bundle of emotions finally set loose
a waste of a chase for a fabled goose

i never thought I'd be the girl to fall
but i fell hard, i nearly lost it all
i lost the sight that holds my foundation
i became blindly bounded by your affection

i know i lot my common sense of direction
but i now no longer consider you a destination
you are a pass-by town on my route
this is my one surety, with no doubt

- E.A.F
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
I see no need for this violence
Its crazy, stupid and senseless
It turns the capable to powerless
And the strong to defenseless

It screams are the killings from the merciless
The shots in the air are the shells becoming a known emptiness
The cold bodies in the mud, left lifeless
And the wounded left homeless

And I can’t begin to pretend to be sightless
I can’t turn a blind eye and fake righteousness
And I won’t sit by ideally and say I’m fearless
When, if I were, I would be out there do something to priceless…

If I were I would be saving the lives of those left behind
And I would search for what generations before us could never find.
Peace.

While our minds scream out to make a noise
We relish in the ideals of our said humanity
But we have never set them in stone in our society

Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
I find myself sitting here
Wondering what’s over there
And the only answer is nothing
When it should be something.

Because I’ve seen lives handed out,
And some being thrown out.
Yet we just sit by waiting for the next one…
Not sure if they’ve lost or won.

’cause to be freed from here,
We know, could be the only cure
A cure to the disease we’ve spread
Its the only thing our planet has been fed

Pollution, greed, destruction and more.
Its plenty more than what we hoped for.
We hoped to recreate this world
But our intentions have be swirled

We fought for our lives
Yet we destroy what is left to revive
We fought for our humanity
Yet we destroy it in pointless vanity

We’ve walked through the moments
But I refuse to ignore these events
Not sensing the countless mishaps
I keep thinking
“Perhaps..”

Perhaps someone will hear this truth
Not take it as a lie but as proof
That we need to change our ways
If not soon, then we’ll say good bye to our yesterdays

“Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
Nothing is going to get better. Its not.”

- E.A.F
we need to start caring
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
You’re my ark to this overflowing flood
Shepard to these lost herds
The sun to the unwanted mud
The teacher to these needy nerds

You’re the foundation of my pillar
The plot to a best-seller
You’re my number after zero
And my one and only superhero

My point is, you’re the skip to my step
The reason behind my pep
The dew to my summer grass
And the springs chirping birds that fly pass

But I guess you already know that
With all the winks and kisses in our chat
You’d be blind to not understand
That you’re apart of the life I have planned

- E. A. F
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Can sorry be said in a thousand ways?
Can it be accepted in years and days?
Can it be the lullaby I sing to you
Or do you think that this isn’t true?

I know that many have their views
And that what we do shouldn’t be apart of their daily news
But what if I want the world to understand
That I want to put a silver ring on your left hand?

What if I’m over trying to hide who I am?
That if life’s a game, it sure as hell feels like an exam
One where we are told what’s wrong and right
Where we aren’t allowed to chose between dark or light

Because society has moulded us into puppets
Ones that have been hit by one too many bullets
Even so, I guess what we feel has always been a mask
Whether we had the choice to be apart of their task

I think that if one of us ever asked out in worry
I think they’d only reply sorry
But I’m done being moulded into their toy
Its about time that I start fighting for my own joy

- E.A.F
time  to stand for what makes you happy
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Let me fly into the sky
With my head held high
these broken wings
Can’t carry me

So I beg you please
Resurrect me
Bring me to life
Once again

Level the plain
Be real with me
Is what I did so wrong
Even if our love was so strong?
Elizabeth Fruin Jan 2019
I've been roaming in shallow waters
Left my hollow footprints behind
Tip toed on the edge of the deep end
Afraid, afraid of sinking

Holding my breath in too tight tonight
Slipped off the edge, can't go back
The water's holding me far too close
Not letting my feet touch the ground

My thoughts have cease to exist
Not a single flash of life came to be
Nobody said that it would end like this
Looks like I'm not apart of your history

My breathes are scattered and alone
Reaching out for anyone's hand
Because I don't think I can
My feet don't want to touch this land

The past is a place my mind often dwells in... 2019 will be a year that I look ahead with the past pushing me toward my dreams rather than holding me back
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Shattered glass spread across her face,
Her screams reached out with no such grace.
Her hands touched the clothes she wore,
She hoped she wouldn’t have to feel too much more.

Her screams became numb as she did.
Her hands clung to her arms as she hid,
Her fear keeping her nervous and quiet
And that’s when she felt it.

A nudge from nowhere sent her out into the open in a rush.
Her voice barely audible as she was told to hush.
Her mouth blocked by a hand she could no longer see
Her heart begged for him to hear her plea

She moved his hand away and begged in whimper,
“I see no way to make this simpler.
Just be done with me now,
I’m tired of thinking about when and how.
If you’re going to end me,
Then it let it be.”

Surprised captured her as her body was left
She gasped and savoured her last breath
But seconds passed and she turned and froze
For, she saw a man she alone knows.

I need to not miss you..
I need to not want you
But all that's on my mind
Is how you make me blind

Blind to the worst of life
Seeing it all with no strife
But all I need is a balance
But sadly I have no patience

How do I get over this ache
When my heart's at zoo lake
With a hint of blue looking down
As I miss you more than my home town

Door ways locked ahead
Windows banged shut instead.
Footsteps echoed along
Voices of mockery sang a song
Shivered from head to toe
Awaited a dreaded foe

Stillness replaced the moment
Emptiness overcome the fulfillment
A laugh of vengeance screeched
Until that limit was reached
Shivered from head to toe
Awaited a dreaded foe

Sat down, not willed to fight on
Knowing that they’ve already won
Last breathes taken away
Fore today was my last day

Chaos seeps through my hollow door
Making my soul beg and plea for no more
This chaos hits me right in the chest
The slumbers me into a final rest

I open my eyes and look down
And I see my open-mouthed frown
My scarlet eyes are lifeless and dead
Guess I no longer have a road ahead

I will not know the wonders of love
I'll have no worries as I look above
For my heart is as pure as white
So there shouldn't be much for me to fight

The entrance to those clouds showed its way
Yet sadly there was darkness hiding it away
Dark figure danced in silhouette
No faces nor figures to be met

Only shadows and chaos dancing here
I prayed I wasn't the song they hear
For I wished for the stairs to reappear
As I ran and ran from the silhouettes in fear

My body left lifeless as my soul fled
My soul cried out as my body bled
I was alone with chance to get home
Then a voice reached out and asked me to atone.

Even if the darkness seems to be taking over, you must not miss the light forcing its way through the darkness ♡

We are thousands of miles away
But In my heart you will forever stay
Our drifting souls become a cluster
As the bonds we make tighten faster

Our souls may be two separate entities
But they are bound by a single link
Which are our shared qualities
Lettered on the dotted line in ink

- E.A.F
A soul is always wary of the unknown, but once there is a link shared. There is not much that can be done to stop the change soon to come.

These words are trapped inside of me
I don’t know why, but I can’t set them free
They itch at the inside of my throat
Asking, begging me to sing that single note

A sound that cascades from the heavens
One that’s answering all these questions
Questions of life, love and death
I keep wondering if this note will be my last breath

And if it is, if this is the last breath I take
Then let it be, not a tremble, but an earthquake
For I want people to, not forget me, but commemorate
As I believe that my legacy is destined through fate

A fate decided through the eyes of those above
A life I would leave feeling proud of
Because even if I don’t make my dreams come true
I know that my morals will remained just, through in through

I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I don't want to see  the thunder
I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I don't want to have to wonder

I sleeping through storms
'cause I don't want to feel the rain drops
I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I don't want to be there when my bubble pops

I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I don't want to see the floods
I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I want to wake up to the rose buds

I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I want to see the blue skies
I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I don't want to hear these lies

I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I don't want to feel anything
I'm sleeping through storms
'cause I can't bare to hear one more tragic thing

I'm sleeping through storms
to leave the past behind
I'm sleeping through storms
Hoping that my mind will rewind

Maybe you want to avoid life and just enter memory lane.. Back when all was "right" but remember that the memory of light is sometimes brighter than it really is..

The flame to this fearsome beast, shifts with the wind,
This flame in our darkness, glows until unable,
The flame to this monster, changes from hope to despair in seconds
This flame is as humans are…
Destructive, yet inspirational.

Every second, every day
I wish you never went away
Its been more than a year
Since I saw you near

But my mind still remembers you
It goes back and forth wondering
What if this wasn’t true
What if this was just a way of smothering

A cruel torture added to my life
A pain not caused by any knife
Something to make me doubt
And wonder what they talk about

Maybe its about you and I
How I kept trying to say goodbye

But then I’d be alone
Like someone without a home
Like an inventor in the stone age
Like a rock star without a stage

I’d be alone
With nothing willing me to atone

However, There are no hidden clues
There’s nothing for the hound to sniff
Realities alarm clock seems to have no snooze
And there is no “What if”

But the torture is far too true
Its something many have grown to know
Its the mourning of someone you once knew
A feeling of absolute woe

We have all experienced the lose of love
Whether its from the heart or above

These things I love about you
They're the things only you can do
Like the edited photos you create
Or how your touch feels like fate

But don't ask me how these feelings came true
All I know is its because of you

So I love the way you wear your cherry lip glass
I love the way how you have the cutest of laughs
I love how you give me that adorable coy grin
And how even if I lose, it feels like win

I love your long brown hair with a tinge of red
I love how in photos you always tilt your head
I love your relaxing and cheerful companionship
And how this has been the best relationship

I love the way you get mosquito bites so easily
And how you fish for compliments so rarely
I love all those random ***** jokes
And all those silly, but cute, facebook pokes

So with all this in mind think back one year
Back to when I finally overcame that silly fear
The one of you not liking me as more than a friend
All I can say is I'm very happy you said yes in the end.

This was a piece I worked on for my buddy Dan, I got quite a few lines from a list he made for his girlfriend, and this was for their one year :) so this poem was a team effort :)

A comfort I chose to loose
It's sad to hear this news
But I don't know what to do
When it comes down to you

My heart says multiple things
While my head thinks and thinks
Maybe I should stay and see
Or just leave things be

Let the wind blow how it does
Let our hands move from this
Let the birds and bees buzz
Even if you're everything I'll miss.

Its as simple as that
Its the down to earth fact
That I only have 3 words
To make all the birds
Go chirpidy-chirp

To make all those nerds
Crumble at your feet
With their pocket protectors, awaiting every meet

These three words
Cause all of my sighs
And the regret to those goodbyes
The butterflies to the sweet hellos
Cause your not like all the other fellows

These three words have been held inside me
Unsure of what will be
Unable to set them lose
Afraid I’d being chasing a goose

But with every word you’ve said
A truthful smile followed suit
With a kiss upon your forehead
And something cute

And when things became clear as day
I just wanted to say
Something that close to me and true
I love you

Why do years feel like a flash of moments
Some of happiness others of life changing events
I will never learn to understand our minds
It saves our scariest times and our golden finds

We don't have a say in what we want to remember
We are like a house with a limitless chamber
A room filled to the top with waters rising
So much so we feel the need for compromising

To do things to lower the levels so we don't drown
But most of the time our challenges don't sink down
They rise to where the tides rush towards us
Where our breathes are limited like seats on a bus

Seats that we crave to get a ticket for
Because we believe them to be the key to more
Like a life where we don't have to fight to breath
Where our emotions aren't hidden beneath

Beneath the crashing waves of our conscious worlds
Where everything comes together in swirls
So we hope and pray that the tickets will work
Since we can feel our minds becoming more berserk

We need the relief to be truer than true
We need something for our sanity to cling to..

To
To see his name written in anothers writing,
To hear his song sung by anothers voice,
To feel the hole that he once filled
To seek the comfort he once offered
To think I won’t see him again

To see my world continue to spin without its orbit,
To hear the emptiness behind this laughter,
To feel his cold cheeks as I kissed goodbye one last time,
To seek the warmth that once filled his body
To think I won’t hear him again

To see his smile would cause tears of joy to arouse,
To hear his voice would sound like heavens gates opening to the ******
To feel his arms hug me once more
To seek the music we once shared
To think I won’t feel him again

To see new memories won’t include him,
To hear the beating of his heart would be a miracle
To feel like my smiles are forced and my tears flow
To seek that this wasn’t true
To think I won’t have you…

We laughed and cried together,
We danced and sang together.
We did everything together,
But I think we’re no longer together.

I think its
Too late now to reminisce,
To second guess,
For you to care,
even if you’d try to dare.

Because you made your choice,
You chose her quietness over my noise.
Her beauty over my personality,
Her clarity over my blurred reality.

You may think now that your mistaken,
But my eyes have been forced open.

You may have had me whipped from beginning to end,
Had me spun like a thread,
And had to pretend,
But I can now see through all you said.

Even if at on stage or another,
We laughed and cried together,
We danced and singed together,
We did everything together,

I think its
Too late now to reminisce.
Too late to second guess.
Too late for you to care
Even if you’d try dare..

You may not be in the crowd tonight,
But you will be with me on stage,
For you are apart of my spotlight,
And the makers of who I am to this day and age

You are the molds to my sculptures,
The notes to my music
The mystery to my adventures
And the person who leave me static

You may not be at every show or event
And you may not be there when wanted,
But you are there when I’m in need to vent
And when I feel like I’m being taunted…

When I can’t help but shed a tear
And when I feel like my whole world is about to disappear
When I feel as if I may collapse
Or have a mental relapse

You hold my hand and comfort me
And set my worries free

- E. A. F
the friends that you have always create a part of the person you are.
Elizabeth Fruin Apr 2016
Though our things did not end right
Left aching to be hugged by the night
Why did this go so wrong so fast
Was it cause we weren't meant to last?

You spoke of a hopeful truth
That this, us, would be your proof
That love still exists in the silence
Where sound shouldn't be violence

I know songs are released everyday
But not one says what I want to say
I'm left hollow caught up in this
You were meant to be true loves kiss

So excuse me if you can dear
I no longer want you to be here
My heart has rebuilt my walls high
So its time for us to say bye bye
