to kiss
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
a kiss on the cheek,
another on the lips
a simple hello
that's hard to miss.
unabashed love
emits jealousy
to all around
who can't help but to see.
the tears in her eyes,
when he leaves her side
a simple kiss
hides a bitter goodbye.

Pangs of despised love
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
love me so, love me though
my heart is not yet at the ready.
see me through, see me new
a person rebuilding from thine past.
stabbed through the heart,
broken from the start
this romance doomed 'fore the bloom.
you love me so, you love me though
I cannot return the favour

Paying for Mistakes
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
lines are drawn
feelings gone,
the realization comes at dawn.
lies have been told
it's getting old,
I can see it now, your heart is cold.
these games we play
in a dangerous way
and for that we both must pay.
I see the light,
done with this fight,
but moving on will take all my might.

The Aftermath
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
in the dark, in the depth
he is prowling where she wept.
in the sun, in the sky
she's trying hard not to cry.
his life was taken, she is shaken
he left not much, in her waking.
*I cannot see, I cannot do
what is left for me to lose?
I've lost my love, lost my life
I cannot bear to fight this fight.
I wish to go, I wish to die,
end this life and say goodbye.
I'll see you soon, up in heaven
and if I don't it'll be my hell.
If I see you and we're together,
then I'll say that all is well.

My Sandman
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
heart beating through your shirt,
each thud echoing in my body
warm hands brushing cold skin,
sending shivers down my spine
lips brushing my hair,
sweet breath tickling my ear
muscles tensed, holding tight
a smile felt leads to a smile made
a sigh, a release,
our fingers intertwine
and I drift off to sleep.

Tracing you
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
Freckles cover your body
I trace them like constellations
each one creating a story,
I now see them in the sky.

one sided
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
hey, you look familiar
I think I've seen you before
hey, watch that look in your eyes
it makes me melt to the floor
hey, come over here
I want to hold you tight
hey, move a little closer
it will keep us warm all night
hey, where have you been
I have been missing you so
hey you, you look familiar
like this girl I used to know

when i fall you're there to catch me
when i'm too weak to stand we lay,
side by side always together:
forever and a day

six years ago we met
and my life was changed forever
knew it then i didn't,
how you'd stand by me whenever

through stormy skies
and peaceful nights
we're stronger together
fighting these fights

you mirror the good and blur the bad
your heart good and true,
without you to guide me
i don't know what i'd do

together we'll dance
together we'll rise
together we'll make it
to see brighter skies.
just a little ode to my mirror for always being my person.

charlie
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
why do you make my heart beat so fast?
i feel like it's pounding out of my chest.
i don't know how much longer i can take it
i fear it will stop all together, be put to rest.
they say love is butterflies,
but instead mine are hawks
and a venom in my blood
i don't know what to do
and i don't know what to say,
all i know is that i need you
yet you remain so far away.
you used to be mine but now are hers
and how that happened i'll never know
but just your name drives me crazy
you're my highest high and my lowest low.

Beautiful Weeds
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
I miss your arms around me
Enveloping like wild weeds,
How you held me tight
Like you needed me to breathe
I miss the way we fit
Like awkward puzzle pieces
How you'd get annoyed
But I'd soothe it all with kisses
We weren't meant to be
Yet we needed each other,
Two lost sounds in this world
Oh how I wish we weren't over.

looking glass
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
just another pretty face,
this was all a big waste.
never stop to look behind
the makeup and actions that all hide
the person who i truly am,
but do you even give a ****?
i'd like to pretend that you do,
but i know the truth will come out soon.
*mirror, mirror on the wall
watch me, watch me as i fall

Dawnning
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
my sometimes boyfriend
sometimes lover,
be my protection
and my cover
for love is easy
but not always true,
lust is simple
and I lust for you.
it takes me away
and frees my mind,
for just a little while
I can escape this bind.
your body on mine,
our hands intertwined,
kisses all over
and for a moment all mine.
but it can never last
and life goes on
but for now it's you and me,
at least until dawn.

Scream
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
i wanna scream,
i wanna shout,
cry real loud
and let it out.
i'm going down,
i watch me fall,
all alone
against this wall.
my heart is racing,
my head is spinning,
i've gone too far
no hope in winning.
my world has crumbled
where I stood
and screaming now
won't do no good.

Pick a Side
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
you can pick your side
and i'll pick mine,
take our stances
on these lines
make a change
and take a chance,
I'm asking you
for one last dance
and promise me
that we won't fight
promise this,
before daylight
I'm praying that,
I'm begging it,
that this won't hurt
a little bit
you can take your side
and i'll take mine,
we'll wait behind
these borderlines.

giving it away
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
you're trying to stay mad,
but there's a twinkle in your eye.
and that dimple on your cheek
makes it impossible to lie.
I'm trying to look tough
but my walls begin to waiver.
hide from you, I can't
and not doing so is braver.
a look, a smirk, a sigh,
open books to each other
yeild our poker faces useless
yet we pretend not to know better.

Sweet Temptations

your smile is the serpent
to which I'll always be your Eve

Sailing away
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
The flowers have reached their bloom,
But the beauty can't compare
To the day we walked through their buddings
Catching up and making small talk,
Trying to avoid the goodbyes to follow.
We hugged goodbye and I avoided your kiss
The lingering taste would be too much to bear.
And the happy music blasted around
As I walked away with tear stained cheeks.
A month without you, too painful to bear...
How will I survive these next years...

dance with me
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
I want to be to you
what Ginger was to Fred;
     irreplaceable,
          always together,
               *backwards.

Light Me Up (Italian)
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
illuminare la notte con le stelle
non c'è mai stato un amore come il nostro.
il mondo è nostro per la presa,
non ha senso in noi in attesa
accendere il fuoco, accendere la fiamma
la nostra spericolatezza è la colpa.
danzare questa danza e correre il rischio
questa sarà una grande storia d'amore
accendere la candela nel mio cuore
prendi la mia mano, questo sarà l'inizio.

Light Me Up
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
light the night with the stars
there's never been a love like ours.
the world is ours for the taking,
there's no point in us waiting
light the fire, light the flame
our recklessness is to blame.
we'll do a dance and take a chance
this will be a great romance
light the candle within my heart
take my hand, this will be the start.

Yellow Ribbons
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
yellow ribbons flying 'round
one by her heart tied and bound.
her love, he's sending off today
she's hoping, praying he could stay
a yellow ribbon she'll wear always
thinking of him with the passing days
knowing this could be their last goodbye,
"I dedicate this to you in case I do die.
my love you are my one and only
without you I'll be so lonely
we've been tried and tested through-n-through
before I leave please say I do."

she's praying for his safe return
relying on the courage that she's learned
each day he's gone her pain has grown,
a love like this she's never known.
I love you, I loved you, I'll love you forever
you've been there for me through whatever.

a flag's now flying in the sky,
reminding her of their last goodbye.

Sunday Afternoons
Niki Elizabeth Jul 2014
I miss you in the moonlight
And while standing in the sun
I miss the way you held me
Just can't believe we're done

I miss the way you saw me
It made me feel so free
I miss how you see the world
It filled mine with glee

I miss the simple pleasures
Like staying in bed all day
I miss holding your hand
And the way we lay

I miss the way you teased me
Can't even believe that this is so
I miss you more than imagined
Or you could ever know

I miss our time together
My escape, my peace and quiet
I miss how well we worked
I'll never find something like it

— The End —
