Shiny Rock
Tionna Nov 2020
Every diamond, had to first be a rock. And only after many years of sanding and polishing, did it begin to shine.
I was once asked. Why do I feel like I'm always someone else's stepping stone? Is that all I was ever meant to be?

The beginning
Tionna Aug 2017
Two true hearts have been broken
So many words left unspoken.
Sad eyes like daggers in my heart,
Dreaming of a day when we dont have to part.
They say true love is hard to see,
But I feel it every time you are close to me.
My heart has been stolen,
My eyes are left swollen.
I can not fight alone,
I feel my heart turning to stone.
Before you walk away from me,
I am begging you to hear my plea.
I am asking you to stay and fight with me.
I can no longer ask you to stay because of the words you chose to say.
If you choose to go I will understand, but I really wish you would just take my hand.
So I turn to the lord and pray that you can feel my heart reaching out to you. Hopeing you see that my love for you is true.
Our situation is far from ideal, but it is my heart that you did steal.
I am dying inside without you, my heart screaming out to you.
I need you to stand beside me and believe that one day we can leave.
Believe with me that our hearts are so strong, that we cant possibly be wrong.

Awaken the fire
Tionna Jul 2017
This world is outrageous! Like the plague it's contagious! Such hurt and pain! It's all such a shame everyone only looking out for their own self gain! In a world like this it's hard to even try when everyone you have ever met has made you cry. You can feel the fire burn within you. But in a world full of oceans it's a miracle to ever find someone with who you can share all of your emotions. When suddenly out of nowhere someone reaches into your soul and you loose all control. Like an avalanche in the mountains your walls start crumbling to the ground. Suddenly this person reaches into your soul with no fear of the flames. Then out of no where this world suddenly doesn't seem so cold. They are the oxegyn that breathes life into your soul! Like a high speed chase your life speeds out of control. A beautiful chaos. The perfect storm. The rain pours and the thunder roars you can feel the surge of power tingling on your skin giving you the strength to open your eyes in the darkness once again. They are the lighting that sparks your fire giving light once again in this dark world we live in. Like a river that meanders it's way to the sea. You are letting out all your secrets even the untold. You float your way through every valley with each hill only making you stronger. They encourage you as you stumble along. You finally realize that with them by your side you can pick up your stride. You pick up your pace as the wind flows along your face. You finally start to realize this world isn't such a hideous place. You remember the beauty that is only pictured in a children's storybook. Their love gives you reason to keep reading till the very end.

He can see her
Tionna Jul 2017
I know she's still in there. That little voice inside my head. I know she's still in there even though I've told everyone she's dead. It's always been safer for her. To keep her locked away. Until I met this man. He made her want to play. There was something about this man. She just couldn't explain. The way he looked into her eyes. Or maybe the way he would say her name. She couldn't hide her anymore, that little voice inside her head. The one she said was dead. For when she looked into his eyes she knew. That he was every dream she had. Every dream that could come true. Now that voice is screaming! Let me out to play! She yells at me that it is safer now. And I am left wondering how?? How did this man find you? I hid you so well. And now I am left wondering.  How does he know me so well? Then I look into his eyes and it happens all over again. The voice is screaming at me. He is who I'm looking for! He will keep me safe and show me love. You have to let me free. It it his him that adore!

Forever
Tionna Jul 2017
Forever isn't long enough to spend my time with you. Each 
morning I awake to see your sweet face, but all to fast we 
return to bed with another day past. I want to stop time to 
lay here with you, holding you in my arms without another 
minute slipping through. Forever isn't long enough to 
spend my time with you.

Shapes
Tionna Jul 2017
Running in circles, can't take no more. 
Running in circles, across the floor. 
Running in circles, leaves me blind. 
Knowing I can't see but far behind. 
Running in a line, keep pushing forward 
Always falling behind. 
Running in a line, thinking I can make it 
this time. 
Running in squares, thinking i'm going nowhere 
Running in squares, thinking life isn't fair. 
Running in a heart, knowing I have made 
a better start. 
Running in a heart, knowing my goals 
can't be to far. 
Running in a heart, feeling this path 
I must follow.

— The End —
