her skin was like mahogany silk
and hers was light as milk
his hair was straight
his was not
her skin was plain
and hers covered with dots
all of them different
no two the same
all of them lovely, each crafted with care
so i want you to know that your beautiful
from each hair on your head
to the tips of your toes

you dont know the wind
till you feel its bitter cold
you dont know the breeze
till you see it move the trees
you dont know how much you need water
till you aint had none in days
you realize how much you loved them
till they go away
all im trying to say is
dont take life for granted
live in the moment
cherish each day
and please
dont throw it all away
im not telling you forget the past
or ignore the future
but dont let it define you
and dont be afraid
because tomorrow is not a promise
and your life is not just a legacy to be made

It's our little secret
no one needs to know
who left you beaten and bruised
and hungry and cold, so
you smile and nod
put on a show
and dread what will happen
when you go
back to that house
thats not a home

I love you
but I'm tired
of constantly chasing you
of always asking
what did I do
I'm tired of the lies and the games
and the constant wondering and pain

some you see
some you dont
not all will heal
not all end in groth
i know youve heard
what dosent **** you makes you stronger
but thats not always true
some time it just makes you realize
no one will ever be there for you

everyone has theirs
to sooth their pain]maybe it started as a game
took them for fun
took them to sleep
took them to cope
Now you're in to deep
you think you need them
you really dont
you took them firsts
they took your hope

i see you
do you see me
i hear you
are you listening
i need you
you dont need me
I know that
you'll leave me
i ask you
do you love me
