And it’s just another day
Just another passing year
“You need to take it easy” – they say
But you’re on the end of the rope and it's not even may
You don’t recognize your voice
It's not you saying those words
But your body doesn’t give you a choice…

You want to say sorry,
You want to turn back time
The tears keep falling, the pictures start to get blurry
And you find yourself just hanging on the ride

Give me the strength to fight!
Help me feel alive again - you plead
You just want to make this right
Right the wrongs with a good deed…

But mother nature is as cruel as she’s fair
And right now, is time to collect
You cry thinking of the nightmare
That will take to pay off this debt
Because after 14 days of isolation you start to have a mix up of feelings you need to get out... Hope you all stay safe and healthy

Sometimes you forget how she can
Make you feel like superman
Invincible and confident
Capable of doing anything
And still, still you want to leave

Painful lies and dangerous threats
Late night screaming and regrets
Lost love and fading hope
Fighting and raging all night long
And still, still you wont leave

Cause you know even now
You still love her somehow
And of all the stupid things you do
Once thing you know it’s true …


There’s something about the way that she
Always comes has a beautiful memory
Overlooking the mess of the floor
Falling for her just a little bit more
And still, still you want to leave

Cause you got no more waiting time
You have made up your mind
The lights are down the bags are packed
You got some money laying around, you are set
And still, still you wont leave  

Cause you know even now
You still love her somehow
And of all the stupid things you do
Once thing you know it’s true …
Love like this may be poison in your veins
But if it is? You will gladly take the pain
so yeah this happened ... it was inspired by a friend of mine actually and her late night calls to me

You keep telling yourself that its nothing
But then she smiles and -  hey look there’s something

She lies to herself again and hides her fears
Saying its normal cause you know each other’s for years

But let me tell you this ….


Friends don't call you in the middle of the night
Without a good reason why
They don’t suddenly be by your side
Telling you they just felt like saying "hi"


Friends don't stay after the break of dawn
Finding random reasons to stay
They don’t drive little too slow around town
When they could have just taken the highway

They don't almost say "I love you"
When they had a little too much to drink
They don’t know the other’s shampoo
No matter what you may think

Friends don’t do anything of this
But we both know we do
So, for once let us just take the risk
Cause I know you do, and I love you too
yeah ... tell me what you guys think. and if you want vent about your "friends" too i'm all ears

Now I know that all those setbacks
All those people who broke my heart
They were all northern stars
That lead me straight to your arms

Cause all I know to be true
Is that God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
hmmm it doesn't feel complete but i don't have the mind and maybe the experience too to end it
ANA CORREIA Dec 2018
My head is like a ***** that was hit to many times
You can hear a pin drop in this trouble soul of mine
And my heart is diamond, cause not even a bullet can make through
It’s ****** shield protecting it from everyone even you

Cause I’ve touched the ground more than once
My guilt has made a hole on the stone-cold floor
Nowadays my walk is more of an abstract dance
As my thoughts try to break my chained door

Still you wont ever hear me beg, I won’t ever cry
My thoughts maybe slowly making me mad
But in this society, I would rather die

Cause the immortals of these days, are the ones that fall
Not the ones who fought battles and won
But the ones that did nothing at all
new poem after almost 3 months without having the time to just let it all go... hope its okay

When I get older, maybe saner
Will I remember all the wars that we fought?
Perhaps I will forget all the old bone breaking danger
And all the wicked tricks we were once taught

Yet I will have the scars to prove
There was a time I was the brave one
When I was the hunter and not the food
That faceless shadow behind the gun

They will tell lies about our dreams
Their words will make us true born heroes
Painting with our blood the most poetic scenes
Using nothing more than a few misplaced words and mirrors

And because I can no longer remember
Because I’m just a shadow of the woman I once were
I will nod my head and heart in surrender
Not knowing I was my own personal saboteur
Because one day we may all forget our past, and that is what scares me the most...

If all we are is but a dream
Pointless paintings of memories
Then we should lose our treasures to the sea
Cause all jewels now appear to be, just like broken glass to me
But then you said this cannot be
For there is still some passion under this burning sun
Fueled by the gasoline of a misplaced foreign tongue

So, hey love please forget to frown
Cause with me, you could conquer this town
This sweet chain keeps my heart from being lonely  
Forever happy to remain your one and only

The lyrics are filling out the room, sugary melodies
Its just another Sunday afternoon, cuddling by the sea
I missed your skin when you were away
You made sure I had my recharge today
Through playful smiles and promises of more, my shy lioness
Told me stories that made my blood run hot
And I know the you still have a lot on this life to roam
But at this moment take  my heart and call it home

Because oh  love you will never have to frown
Cause with me, you will conquer more than  this judgmental  town
I had a blast writting this. and i would like to dedicate this to my favorite lioness who struggles sometimes in this cruel world. please never forget I am here to catch you every time
