The risk
Halie Starnes May 2014
Every night i wait up,
With you.
Every day i come home,
to you.
Every day i lay down,
Your next to me.
Every time i go out,
Your with me.

How do i know?
How do i tell?
How can i see?
Will i ever know?

Do you really want me,
or do you know what your doing?
How can i tell if your true?
I stay with you,
you clear my mind and give me peace.

But im so scared.
What if you leave?
What if i do love you?
Is it worth the risk?

Well i can't stop the way i feel this time.
I have tried.
But i love you.
If you didn't love me you would leave.
So only for you,
I will take the risk.

Beautiful Lies
Halie Starnes May 2014
Don't say another word,
you know what you have me falling for.
your wrapping your words around my heart,
like a weapon in the dark.
I try to look away but those bright blue eyes,
pull me back into your beautiful lies.

You pull me around and bring me back in time.
I remember when you left that morning and didn't return that night.
I would ask you where you been but all you do is stutter.
But for some reason i know your name will be the last word i utter.

I feel like i should leave,
I know every night you go out to drink.
I can't leave you alone,
but i have problems of my own.

Your faithful to me but your not.
You turn your head and then get some off the rocks.
Baby that bottle brings out your worst,
It turns my lullaby in the form of a curse.

That taste that you try to hide on your breath,
I love you but i hate that sour kiss.
We all have demons in all shapes and sizes.
Yours brings pain in the shape of a bottle.

— The End —
