I ask
I dreamed
             I wished,
                 But it has never come to be.
                     In my head I can see
                        The slow dance that seems like it will never be

                              He's held me in his arms
                                 Laid his head on my chest
                                     But never has he offered me a slow dance
                                         Well at least not yet

                                             I am not especially romantic
                                                Never expecting fine gifts or flowers
                                                  I would much rather sit and laugh with him for hours

                                                       But this one little thing
                                                          S­o simple
                                                          ­  It does not require a ring
                                                            ­  Or a single grandeur gesture
                                                         ­        No music
                                                           ­         Or candles
                                                         ­             
                                                                ­      If he knew how much it meant to me
                                                              ­           Would he still not do it?
                                                             ­               All I want is one slow dance
                                                           ­                    As I put my whole world in his hands.

We write love poems,
We swear that we mean it,
Swear on the moon
The stars
The great beyond

I wrote you love poems
I swear that I meant them
But not now.
Not in this moment,
When that once hopeful glow around my heart
Turns to hopelessness
To memories of injury...again

The monsters that possess your tongue taint me
The scars are now too great in number
The heaviness of your shadow bears down as if it were my own shame
But it is your's

I swear  that I meant those love poems,
Every word

But oh how easily  words can fly away with the winds of our pasts...

Waking up to the open sky
You’re the whispering scream in my atmosphere
Your laughter echoing infinitely it seems
The star that’s out of my reach
But I wish on it anyways
I’m my own star
With a light of my own
But I used to be a part of something bigger,
Something greater than myself
Two energies entwined shining bright
You and I
We weren’t just anything


Supernova
We outshined our galaxy
Exploding like we meant it
Feeling heat like the sun
Scarred and burned from our own fire
On your back
On my soul
Shattered across the universe
Into a million immortal pieces
We aren’t going to fade out so quick

You say that the orbit,
The round and round,
It was all just my game

I have looked into your eyes once, but I will never forget it.
When I looked into your eyes, I saw something amazing shining from within.
Something stirred inside of me and a feeling of sweet restlessness washed over me.
No one has ever moved so much with one glance.
Your ice-blue gaze rekindled my belief that there is pure beauty in this world.
A beauty untainted by the hands of time and the unfortunate circumstances created by man.
There is something deep inside of you that is breathtaking

Every day, I come closer,
Closer to you,
Even though you are miles away,
Sitting here,
Sitting here is all that I need,
As long as I am thinking of you.

I don’t want to want you,
I don’t want to need you,
But you love me for me,
And that’s hard to come by.

I had always thought that my heart was cold,
As cold as ice,
But you took this heart,
And made it whole.
The puzzle has been solved,
I am complete.

I don’t want to want you,
I don’t want to need you,
But you love me for me,
And that’s hard to come by.

My daddy wasn’t good to me,
My mama always cries,
Stuck in the middle,
You found me,
Just in time.

I don’t want to want you,
I don’t want to need you,
But you love me for me,
And that’s hard to come by.
