It’s been five weeks since you’ve left me here
Stranded and bound by my own fear
Now, honey, I know you meant no harm
But, look at what you’ve done to me now

Oh, look at what you’ve done to me
I’m hurt and I’m cryin and I’m just tryin
To get back home to you
But, baby, it’s so hard when you push and I pull
We can’t seem to get anywhere, No
I can’t seem to get out of here

Cause I’m stuck in this place
Left without a trace of you
I’m locked inside my world
Can’t seem to find the key
Help me out
Someone please just help me out of here
…just help me out of here

My dear, I love you
But, I should have known
That our love was like an hourglass tipped on its side
Not flowing or growing or coming or going
Just there, and how boring is that
Baby, oh now I want more

I gave and I gave till I was breaking
It was always me, the one who was caving
And every time I cried you told me that it’d “be okay”
Well, it’s not okay

There isn’t a second that goes by where I don’t miss you
There isn’t a minute that goes by without me wanting to kiss you
You fill my thoughts and make me smile
You appear in my wildest dreams
There isn’t a day that goes by without the longing for your touch
The miles that part us, forever going, forever long
The time that separates does nothing to help this empty ache
I lay awake at night and cry in despair
For every day that goes by, I am here and you are there
I fear it will always be this way
A day at a time I take it
There is no other way
I could dream about the future and reminisce on the past
But either way I slice it, it leaves me rather sad
The future brings me hope and I close my eyes and dream
But, then once I open my eyes, I am left with no one there
I have seen you in the past that is true
But, when I look upon those days it just deepens my remorse
So what shall I do?
I shall wait for you
I shall cry my tears and vent my pain
I do this in hope that our time will come again

I was eight years old the day you left me
It was early in the morning, I didn’t know a thing
I remember the lights, oh so bright
They were flashing in my eyes as they came
They came and took you away

You were my best friend; I’ll say it till the end
Up until that day you were my life
We’d talk and laugh and we’d cry
Oh, I was young
And I never thought the day would come

I saw you in that hospital bed
Even though they say it was impossible
I swear you opened your eyes to look at me
But, I was so young, who knows?
It could have just been me

Life moved on after that
A lot was lost but, no one knew
Just how much was gone for me
I cried and I cried, I still do sometimes
There are some things that time won’t mend

Now I’m 18 years old, thinking back
I’ll never forget the times we’ve had
The good and the bad, it was all true
We were thick as thieves and still are
Because I know you’re still here with me

I struggle to hear your voice these days
I can’t remember how it sounds
It hurts like a knife in the heart
Though I can’t remember your words
It doesn’t change how much you mean to me

It’s been such a long time
And I’m not that eight year old girl anymore
Still I know when I’m sad and down
I’ll just look up into the clouds and see you smiling down
And I’ll smile back and know, for now, that it’s going to be okay

Imagine me
Want me
Need me
Imagine my touch
See my eyes on you
Want me to need you
Say the word and I shall
I shall be forever yours
I’ll be there in a wink
Want me
Like you’ve never wanted anything more
Want me and you….
I need you
I love you
I need you to love me too
Need me to love you
Say the word and I shall
Say it and I shall be yours
Promise me your days and your nights
Promise me
Say you’ll be there
Mean it
Say the word and I shall love you

Each day the distance seems greater
For I am here and you are there
I just wish you knew how much I cared
And how I wish I could be there
This love stuff is a fickle thing
Made even harder by the distance that it brings
Though it is hard, some things I know are true
I love your smile, I love your hair, and I love you
Those things will never change
My love for you will remain the same
Because without you, my world is dark
And I’m going home from a party with some guy named Mark
Then we have a one-night stand
And I know it’s only because I liked his band
Except, they weren’t that good, I was just drunk
Thank God it was him on top; he hit his head on the top bunk
The ***, it ******, he couldn’t get it up
He just passed out after he peed in a cup
He thought it was great so at least he was happy
I was left to pass out on the couch and feel rather ******
Then it’d be the morning after
And he’d be thinking “Why’d I nail her”
And I’d be thinking “I’m such a *****”
Then he’d walk out the door
And I’d be left here just wanting a hug
That’s when I’d wish I had a pug
Which I think is a rather cute dog
But, some people would rather look at a hog
Now look what I’ve done here
This poem was supposed to be real and now it’s just silly
And now I just lost my rhyme scheme
Looks like I’ve ruined it completely
I guess I could just start again
That would require me to pick up a pen
Even though I’m typing right now
I wish I could end this with a pow
So, I’ll go back to my original lines
I wish you could be mine
Because I care about you a lot
Without you I want not
These things will remain true
I love your smile, I love your hair, and I love you

Searching for something
Anything to heal this hurt I’m feeling
Forever hiding within myself
To shield my mind from all of the pain
My devotion to you has continued
It has continued for far too long
When will I learn to fly on my own?
When will I learn to leave it all behind me?

Hiding behind this smile
Are the tears of a little girl looking
Looking for something to hold onto in her time of need
Searching for the love she so desperately needs
Behind the light that emanates
There is darkness so strong and so cold
Numbing to the bone
Threatening the soul it clings to

When will I fight the fear and find the courage?
How can I find the courage to leave something I’ve known
For so long I’ve known that I need to leave
Someone come steal me away from this dark
And help me find my light
Help me say good bye to this life
Good bye to this world of pain and show me something new
Something new so I can finally breathe

Swallowed up by this hate that I’m feeling
Cannot see beyond the red that clouds my eyes
Hearing my screams you look right towards me
Only to quickly look away
Can’t you hear me?
Can’t you see the pain I’m feeling?

Hiding behind this smile
Are the tears of a little girl looking and searching
Hiding behind the light that I shine
Is a darkness so strong and so cold
What doesn’t **** me is sure to make me stronger
Its pulling me under
Someone please save me from this world

Hiding behind this smile
The tears of a little girl flow free
A little girl looking for something to hold on to
