I heard a cry in the night,
A thousand miles it came,
Sharp as a flash of light,
My name, my name!

It was your voice I heard,
You waked and loved me so—
I send you back this word,
I know, I know!

"Help," she tries
but her tears drown the sound
of a little girl so desperately bound
by the things this world will never know
her smile and laugh is all she'll show.

Look past it then, and you'll see the pain,
of a little girl trying in vain.
Won't anyone see? Won't they care?
Will anyone even try to dare?

"Help," she starts...but quiets down...
for she is lost...and they are found.

Quiet thoughts fill my head.
slowly, silently tears I shed.
Alone, with only myself as friend.
A broken heart i need to mend.

Left sitting...left thinking...
If silence is water, I am sinking.

The dream I'm so desperately chasing,
My only remaining wish,
The one thing I would die for?
Not going to happen.
It's simple statistics.

The goal so near yet so far,
My only purpose in life,
The one thing I can't live without?
Not going to happen.
It's simple statistics.

The reward unlike any other,
My only hope and dream,
The one thing that actually matters?
Not going to happen.
It's simple statistics.

The most important thing,
My only remaining hope
The one thing I truly need?
Not going to happen.
*It's simple statistics.
Not about love.
Don't really know where this came from either.

Love is more than hugs and kissing,
its when their not around, you're missing.
Love is more than naked massages and ***,
its when every five minutes you have to text.
Love is more than passion and affection,
its when two people have a magic connection.
Love is more than saying I love you,
its a strong commitment you must pursue.
Love is a special bond between two people,
if closely related, it could be illegal.
Love is more than kissing each other goodnight,
its making up after each and every fight.
Love is more than butterflies in the belly,
its no being afraid of use some petroleum jelly.
Love is more than buying a dozen roses,
sometimes love is right under our noses.
Love is more than having a big wedding,
each day it seems to be spreading.
Love is more than an attraction,
its finally getting some satisfaction.
Love is more than being with til the end,
you also must be each others best friend.
Love is more than a burning flame,
feeling for each other must be the same.
Love is more than a myth or a theory,
sometimes its so scary its eerie.
Love is more than a roll of the dice,
its like being on a permanent paradise.
Love is more than sharing the same bed,
love is everything and more,
than I could fathom or be said.

You never loved her,
You never did,
She was just a trophy.

You never loved me,
You stayed on out of obligation,
You never wanted this life.

You're unhappy,
Its not our fault.

Dont take it out on us.
Leave and enjoy the remnants of your life.

Go away.

Leave her be and let her recover from the misery that you,
You and your family inflicted upon her,
And should she miss you,
Then return.

But do not lie to me that you loved her.

You never did.

Because if you did love her,
You would never have done what you did.

You never loved her.
So do not say you did.

Do Not Lie.

Is jealousy the green eyed monster? 
Or is it something closer
An arrow pierced my heart to leave me breathless
Crumpled in pain 
Boneless 
He leaves me in his wake
If only he could see that when he smiles I die
When he frowns I die 
Any move he makes I die 
The pain of constant love 
Keeps me paralysed 
The numbness of my secrecy 
Keeps me strong
The excruciating friendship we have
Keeps me by his side 
It's better than being without him 
Or is it
Is he worth the pain he causes?
Is a smile worth another frown?
Is the light worth the darkness?
I don't want to know the answer 
A blessing 
A curse 
My angel
My demon 
My freedom 
My death 
I love him
He is my Cupid 
My green eyed monster
Sorry I am honestly not sure what I'm thinking
