Change Isn't Always Good
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
He never just goes with the flow
Why is it all he does is work?
He says he loves it so
So why is it not a perk?

He doesn't love the way he use to
Nobody knows him anymore
Do you see how he looks at you?
He probably thinks it's a chore

All he wants is just to die
He cuts his wrist and watches it bleed
All he does is make people cry
His pain is no longer a little seed

Now it is his heart
That sits and wallows in the pain
Changing that way wasn't very smart
He lays there now, feeling his shame

Insanity
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
When I wake up in the morning light
I just want to shut it out
The words that I want to say
Put up a fight, not wanting to come out

I lie awake for hours in the night
Not a word from me, not a sound
I'll awake one day with dismay
But for now I don't want to be found

I turn our all of the lights
I cover my mouth with cloth
I can't stand all the fights

Why does it have to be this way
I need a reason to survive
I need to stop fighting the day
I need to lead the day with strive

I watch the cars pass outside
I start to lose my sanity
The blood has all dried
I can't hide from the voice inside of me

What Is This?
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
He doesn't know if she's in his fate
She sits there crying scared to death
Their hearts are pounding and this they hate
She sits there waiting just holding her breath

He looks at her
She starts to scream
He's not sure
This is just a dream

A dream this may be
Then why is the pain so real
They need to open their eyes and see
If love is what they really feel

Superman
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
I know he's out there
Somewhere looking for me
I'm waiting so patiently
But this wait is hard to bear

I'm reachin' out for someone
Does anyone hear my cries?
Reach me before sunrise
******* undone

Rescue me from this terror
Throw me out a line
I can't make another error
With you, everything will be fine

Please rescue me
Where is my Superman?
I need my Superman
I'm drowning in this sea

I'm waiting ever so calmly
I thought I saw you near
But it was just a dream I fear
I'm waiting ever so calmly

Letting Go
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
With a kiss so cold, tears so hot.
Heart pounding fast, it just may pop.

Fear and regret, forgive and forget.
So much to handle, I'm in a fret.

Living a lie, or not seeing the truth?
Living in fear, or not forgiving you?

Love you, or live forever?
My heart you will keep, to hold and to treasure.

Dream of you? I want to.
I want to, to be with you.

Dying fast, I want you here with me.
Hold your breath, remember the past.

Keep on dreaming, dreaming of a better place.
Let go of my hand, just forget my face.

Separate Ways
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
Hey you just listen to me
I'll tell you what I want from you
It's what's inside that you can't see
Perfections you seek but there are few

You hold all my secrets inside
Is that not enough for you?

What's the deal with this?
I give you all of me
But all you do is hiss
It's time to set me free

Just let go of my hand
Please forget my face

You go on your way
I'll lead the life of my own
There's nothing left to say
I just want you to leave me alone

Gone
Lily Mayfield Apr 2012
You saw them everyday
Had conversations with them
They were your best friend
But now they're gone

Holding you tight in their arms
Keeping all of your secrets
Saw for you when you were blind
But now they're gone

They are in your heart forever
They will always be your love
They will always love you
But now they're gone

Watching them from a far
Do you dare go back?
They waited for you
But now they're gone
