Unbreakable Circle
Shelby Brown Dec 2013
It's an unbreakable circle
That I know is true
I'll always anticipate the next day
That I get to spend with you

It's an unbreakable circle
Between you and me
You will lie and let me down
Which will make me want to flee

It's an unbreakable circle
One sent from above
We'll end up making up
And fall back in love
Shelby Brown Sep 2014
Your eyes reminded me of the ocean
Not just in color
But in behavior as well
They were wild, set on a certain goal
But there were also spots of calmness

And they both shared an immense depth
Like the ocean, very few people would ever
Get a chance to explore the depth
Many people will try
Few will prevail

There was a sparkle in your eyes
That was where you hid the love
The ocean loves the shore
Which is why it always returns
Almost the way your eyes
Always returned to me

Your eyes reminded me of the ocean
Wild
Calm
Deep

The Way You Look At Me
Shelby Brown Dec 2013
I basked in the sun
As the sea salt wind
Spiraled around me
I dug my feet in the cool sand
And closed my eyes
Just living in the moment
I glanced to the right
Only to meet your gaze
The way you looked at me
Assured me of all the things
You were too scared to say
The smile on your face
Warmed my heart
Then I realized
If there were such thing as a perfect instant
This would be it

Help
Shelby Brown Oct 2014
Every night I cry myself to sleep
All I ever ask
Is for someone to hold me
And tell me it'll all be okay

But not just any someone
I need you
But that's the problem, you see
Because you're the reason for my tears

You're off enjoying life
While I'm left in the dust
Dealing with the pain
I hope she makes you happy
Then rips it all away

Next time maybe you'll be the one
Crying yourself to sleep
Heartbroken over someone
While trying not to make a peep

I'll See You Tonight
Shelby Brown Dec 2013
I dreamt of you last night
Images of you and I danced beneath my eyelids
We were  happy
I was happy
You still loved me
Oh, what a thought

I should have known it wasn't real
I just wanted to believe it was
People believe it's been months since I've seen you
But the truth is
I see you every night
In the dreams you are still mine
I never want to wake up
Oh, how I miss you

Always Searching
Shelby Brown Jan 2014
I looked for you today
Just like yesterday
And even tomorrow
I will always look for you
One day hoping
That our eyes will meet
And you'll remember me
And what I meant to you
Maybe you'll briefly regret
Leaving me

Falling Rain
Shelby Brown Dec 2013
The rain is so beautiful
Not in the way it looks
But in the way it loves
The droplets wait all day and night
Until they are ready to fall
Towards their love -- the ground
They spend their last moments
Caressed upon the grass
Giving it its life and beauty
They sacrifice themselves for them
You remind me of the rain

What Is Real
Shelby Brown Dec 2013
Maybe I made it all up
The way you smell
The way you taste
The way you laugh

Maybe it was fake
The way you looked at me
The way you made me feel
The way you smiled

Maybe it wasn't real
Maybe you weren't real
Maybe I never even knew you

Over
Shelby Brown Mar 2014
As I looked into your eyes I can see it
We are finally over
You didn't have to say a word
I could see it in your actions
Your eyes no longer lit up when you saw me
You stopped clinging to my every word
Your hand won't find mine
Every time we're near
We are finally over
Which breaks my heart to know

— The End —
