The vowels chime for you in way I can't stop.
Searching new ways to find your heart.
Your heart beat against mine,
Your hair cascading upon my face.
So many memories I cannot erase.
And then I realized I was dancing with the devil;
So delicious to tango in sin
I desire each twirl and spin.
And as the flames grow higher
You fuel my desire.
One more spin could wreak havoc
A chaos I long for
To see your stubborn soul
Finally beg for more

Hayleigh
She pinned me to the wall
Breath heavy, legs a p a r t
Like the most beautiful canvas
Begging for art.

I was reading Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul part 3;
It gave me chills and made me think
How much you mean to me.

I tried to find new words for you
But they all hit the floor;
I've said them til I was blue,
You know I love you more

Back and forth I go, with love and hate and anger.
I keep my heart on hanging strings and now it is in danger.

I wait for you to cut the cord and finally set me free,
Because you say there's nothing here and we will never be.

And then you turn around and miss my stupid face.
And I am certain there's a friendship no one else can replace.

So I sit and dangle for you, waiting for a sign.
I have wanted you for ages, just to be mine.

Ages I have waited and ages I will wait
I think one day you will see this is just our fate.

We started off together, a decade has now passed
But I think another one I could wait and just maybe last.

I know it sounds unreasonable to wait around for love
But I want you like nothing else I can dream of.

And so with hate and anger, passion and hope,
I pray you come around, and I cling tighter to desperation rope.

Is this how
My story ends?
Falling in love
With the same ol friends?
Where does happiness
Find time for me?
When will fate
Finally let me be?

I'm tired of chasing
After whats not to be mine.
Tired of lying
And saying "It's fine,".
Yet I am alone
And its not so well,
To sit in my thoughts
Is a personal hell.

Maybe it was the only kind of love she'd ever known; taking the night train and boarding alone. To see his face in the pouring rain, somehow eased up all her pain. The words he said rang in her head, but nonetheless he took her to bed. The way he made her clothes hit the floor, made her feel like there was nothing more. But as the night faded, in his arms she stayed. And everthing made it perfect, the sadness delayed. As the sun came up, as she said goodbye, "I hate you," she whispered, her usual lie. She knew she'd be back, knocking on his door. For the pain and the passion, there was no cure.

I am tired
Of repeating myself.
Take my words,
Put them on a shelf.
Stop the feelings,
Stop the beat in my chest.
Time to give
My lungs a rest.
Shut my eyes,
Let them be still.
And see what is
Tomorrow's will.

Midnight rolls in
And I'm missing you again.
How is it I'm still
Nothing more than a friend?

You are all I want
And always on my mind.
Yet I can't figure why
When you aren't even kind.

Your silence speaks volumes
To the broken heart in my chest.
And yet still I can't
Just give "us" a rest.

So in silence I sit,
My heart on the page
As the tears fall
In silent rage.

I wish it would stop,
Because you don't care.
You kiss me passionately
And yet its so clear.

I mean nothing,
I am just a *****
And you will never desire
Me as more.
