Je suis jeune, ou c’est ce qu'ils me disent,
Jeunes et capable, sauvage et libre;
Mes os ne craquent pas sous le vent.

Je suis folle, c'est ce qu'ils disent,
Folle de croire vos mots cassés,
Mais vous étiez jeune une fois aussi.

Je suis seule et ils ne manquent jamais d'avis,
Seule, oui, mais jamais trop seule.
La tasse était à moitié pleine quand nous nous sommes rencontrés.

Je suis ce que je me dis:
joyeuse aujourd'hui, envieuse demain,
et en ce moment, juste une fille coincée entre deux.

I don't know why
but you're perfect to me.
I think your eyes are a specialty.
I think your laugh is a wondrous thing.
I think that your smile is an invitation to proceed.
I think that you and I were meant to be.

But then I think,
am I right for you?
am I good enough?
I also wonder if,
I annoy you
or I you wish me gone.
My thoughts won't let me love
but my heart's on my sleeve.
I really just wish that you and I could be.

Beautiful,
such an overly used word.
How about you call them:
                                                        Stu­nning                       Delicate
                                    Magnificent                 ­   Lovely                    Radiant
                            ­  Enticing                                                       ­                    Exquisite
                           Tantalizing                                                      ­                   Dazzling
                                 Wonderful                                                        ­      Mesmerizing
                                               ­  Alluring                                          Ravishing
                                                          Captiv­ating            Enthralling
                                    ­                                      Enchanting

How about you call them something other than beautiful?

it's supposed to be a heart, but alas I failed.

I want to kiss your cheek in the morning,
to write love on your arms with my hands,
these broken things so undeserving of your worship.

You saw me when my skin was broken,
when I clung to all that had left,
when my love was wasted on gutter dreams.

So now I seek your hands,
the ones that held me so close,
when I was too scared to be loved.

New moments holding a memory sweet but harsh,
like the times you were mine, yet never us,
never something that held any trust.

Nobody makes me laugh like you do,
still I'm uncertain, uneasy in your eyes,
everything I want, yet our sentiment is strange.

A liar's tongue, a braggart's mouth,
the ways we increase this love's promise,
but I'll never find a way to tell it all.

Maybe I sensed it in the beginning,
how we'd always be star crossed
and I'd always want more from you.

...but now it's different
"protege moi, protege moi"
I see you and I'm home.

maybe this always was
the one thing
we'd never know the meaning of

lucky to trust
bound by love
hands intertwined forever

This one goes out to you
To The Girl with Angel Eyes
To my 10 Million Friends online
To everyone who asks "How R U?"
To the musicians who provide me with Sound
To the World that Keeps Turning
To those who are Missing something
And to my friends who have convinced me not to Fall

This is for the Memories that have yet to be written
The unfinished Notebook
And the Moonlight that has yet to be seen
This one goes out to you
All of the poems I write are based off my everyday life.  I've been through a lot these past few years and my writing serves as a diary.  The poems I've written so far are about friends, family, exes, and my everyday struggles with life.  If it weren't for the people in my life, well, I'd have nothing to write about.  So this one goes out to you.

Into what once was beautiful memories of me and you
I'm drowning in the salt water
Bubbles are forming at the top
My heart is about to stop
There is no us
And I'll be a good little girl and I won't put up a fuss..
So if you really don't love me, let me blow of some steam and let me drown in these
puddles of fallen salt water dreams...

I think I've found your secret
The key to my locked up pleasure
The way to make my body writhe
To make that pulsing, riveting, shock; skyrocket from inside

Embodiment of ecstasy
Tip my head back, and close my eyes
Allow every sound that finds its way to my mouth
To slip out like a rolling tide

To ease my hands down in a way
That both tortures and teases me
But the one thing that is truly inspiring
Is simply the way he *watches me
The scars will knit together again
And the bruises will fade away.
The ringing in your head will clear.
You’ll live to see better days.

That may be true, but you need to know
That those aren’t my only wounds.
The scars and bruises and blows to the head
Are nothing to what will come soon.

Look. You can’t see the scars anymore.
I told you that they would fade.
You see? They’re hardly there at all.
There’s no need to be so afraid.

No need to be afraid, you say?
You know nothing of the dreams.
The ones that wake me in cold sweats
With tears and strangled screams.

What’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you happy?
You’re better – good as new.
You’re fully healed. Perfect and sound.
What left is there to do?*

I wish I were whole the way you think.
The scars are gone, true enough,
But the dreams persist and they always will.
Deeper scars – eternal and rough.

Something is different
Everything seems new
And right on the surface
I know the reason is you.
A new way of thinking
And a joy in my walk
But the strangest thing is
Maybe it isn’t just small talk.
An interesting view
From my freshly opened eyes
Could it be real,
Or another one of my lies?
But for once I am not betting
For the ending to be tragic
On the contrary
I am thinking more so magic.
