You Want
ANA CORREIA Mar 2020
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

And Still...
ANA CORREIA Mar 2019
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

Friends Don't
ANA CORREIA Jan 2019
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

Untitled
ANA CORREIA Dec 2018
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

Nowadays Immortals
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

I was once a warrior
ANA CORREIA Sep 2018
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...

Hey Love
ANA CORREIA Sep 2018
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
ANA CORREIA Sep 2018
Sometimes it’s the wrong choices
That takes us to the right places
We can hear a thousand voices
Yet we only care for a handful of faces

We’re abnormally high on love
We can jump so high people think we’re flying
We don’t wish we just hope
That one day we can make truths of their lying

And maybe you’re the crazy ones
And we? Are the kings and queens
Playing with water that can burn all the suns
Cause our reality is not always what it seems

So please walk like you don’t care
That your world is falling apart
When the walls crumble you’ll think it’s unfair
But we will just say that broken it’s just another form of art
this came to my mind when once again a friend of mine was being bullied by society. I mean just because we are not all the same doesn´t mean we can make fun and put down other people. that just ****** me off so much. hope you enjoy my poem and that it makes you guys smile

Saturn's Tears
ANA CORREIA Sep 2018
Come on children gather around
There is a story to be told
From a time that was lost and never found
Quickly before, it gets too cold

Come sit by the fire
While our minds run wild and free
Keep them sharp even when your body is tired
And meet a new world with me

Once upon a beginning
And you must know there was more than one
The strings of time were spinning
Finishing erasing what was once done

And between the dust of the past
Stood a man on the side
From his race the very last
HE watched the worlds collide

From the growing dark pit
HE saw a shadow appear
The figure was a giant HE had to admit
But nothing like the ones HE learnt to fear

HE then named him Titan
Never thinking if what HE did was wrong
And when the nothing started to whiten
Poor HE felt briefly like HE didn’t belong

The Titan then began to walk
His feet cracking in the white floor
Suddenly Titan came to a stop
Mumbling something then no more:

“A thousand times a chance I gave
A thousand times they refused to learn
Millions I tried to save
But in the end they all burnt

Humans are selfish to their core
Yet my love liked them in a way
So she keep making a new door
While I saw my love fading each day

‘Be the brightest start in my life’
To Her I once said
‘Be my guiding light when I’m lost in the dark
Hold me, for I’m only yours to keep
And I promise you, you’ll forever be in my Heart’

But now as I watch you disappear again
And for a race that is nothing but ****
I can’t help but to be jealous of the man
That stole you from me just for fun

Forgive my sins oh sweet earth
For I’m a fool that as became blind
Maybe in the next world birth
Our love we can again find”

A soulless sob and yell followed the silence
And in a second the nothing started to break
A show full of fire and violence
That was the moment that HE thought no one could escape fate

So HE run and run till HE could no more
Shivering, screaming trying to avoid his fears
The last one could find no door
So the fool tried to hide behind the starts of Saturn’s tears


I hope you guys like it ? its hard to pick just one ahah
This is me trying to tell a story... hope you guys like it I guess
ANA CORREIA Sep 2018
I’m stuck in an endless spin
Brown hair reminding me of what could have been
And maybe I bit off more that I could chew
But I got restless while looking at that sky, so blue


Fell to your knees trying to recapture  
Lucky *******, the ones time can’t capture
On the net, movies or between the sheets
Our love always ends up alone on the streets

And when the voices are raised
And the loving glances fade
I’ve become nothing but a broken hero who quit too late

But you know that…
In the end, I’d do it all again  
I’ll save you and be you’re best friend
But darling, don’t you know this love isn’t right, it just isn’t right

I could be yours
If you arrive thirsty at my door
Cause when it rains it pours
And my heart can always take a little more

What you call love I call possessive
And seriously it’s not impressive
A bag full of promises, empty of love
On my bed floor
I put your heart in reverse  


You say it is our time if I want it to be
Just point at the stars if you want to be free
But our love is anemic and you still can believe
That the end would come from me

Cause I still feel that rush through my veins
Tinkering with my head, the sound of chains
All this people in the world
Yet I cannot find anyone sane

And I still feel that rush in my veins
It twists my head just a bit too thin
All those people
In those old photographs I've seen are dead

But you know that…
In the end, I’d do it all again  
I’ll save you and be you’re best friend
But darling, don’t you know this love isn’t right, it just isn’t right

I could be yours
If you arrive thirsty at my door
Cause when it rains it pours
And my heart can always take a little more

And sometimes I just sit around
And look at my feet, I’m upside down
Memories of your ***** sadness feels me up
Just like an old worn balloon
And darling …
Those are the times I know leaving you was never too soon
hit me with your best shot , i would love to hear your thoughts on this

— The End —
