The Helpless Girl
S G Arndt May 2016
How can one call for help
When they have no voice?

In this dark world
Helpless cries echo
Helpless cries echo throughout the night
Silence filled with fear
No one knows what's right
You say the end is near
You say you see the light
When you have no voice to scream
For help that you may need
The silence is taking over
A couple more pills and you'll be free

Seeing in Color
S G Arndt Sep 2017
we are judged too often
for seeing in color
and the differences all around
are you starting to follow?

try and connect with it all
open your eyes, just be free
why not apprecitate
everything you see?

even though you may feel
as if your efforts are too small
do you remember your mistakes
do you recall?

what needs to be done
when it comes to everyday life
is love everyone
is it too hard to try?

One Last Storm
S G Arndt Jun 2016
The days and the nights, just a blur
The days and the nights
Just a blur
You thought there was more to us
You ask why
You ask
Why
I can't reply
But baby please
But baby
Please
Don't leave me tonight
One little storm can't put out this light
One little storm
Can't put out this light
I tell myself, this will be the last time
But time after time we find ourselves here
But time after time
We find ourselves here
Who's to blame
When the storm rains on us it pours
When the storm rains on us
It pours
Don't pretend to have no shame
The rain is relentless these days
The rain is relentless
These days
I hope that we can see this through
You and I
You
And I
We both know
One more storm like this
One more storm
Like this
Will be the end of it

Lights Fade
S G Arndt May 2016
When the lights fade
Will you be there for me
When the lights fade
Will you be there for me

Girl
Sometimes all these lights fade
Really showing off
All the problems I made
Inside my world with you
All these lights fade
Oh yeah

When the lights fade
Will you be there for me
When the lights fade
Will you be there for me

I'm begging will you be there for me
I need something that you have
Yeah
I need it here for me
You see these lights have faded over me
But what you don't understand is that
I never liked the spotlight anyway
But please

When the lights fade
Will you be there for me
When the lights fade
Will you be there for me

Girl, when the lights fade

Please be there for me
Yeahhh
When the lights fade
Baby please

Will you be there for me
Cause
I need you there for me

Delicate Day
S G Arndt May 2019
April showers — in May
The flowers cannot breathe
I cannot breathe
Rest easy

These tears run down my cheek
What a disastrous — delicate day

No Need For Gold
S G Arndt Nov 2018
It is as if
My most golden time
Was when I had absolutely
No need for gold
All that altered my life
Was the glimmer in your eye

Bed Of Peonies
S G Arndt Mar 2019
Simply stunning.
So divine.

A bed of peonies,
                               grow thicker.
Sweet, subtle touch.
Summertime.

Year after year,
                          the bed will be there.
For comfort.
Who could ask for more?

Look out the window,
                                       the moonlight shore.
The waves crashing beneath.
Just out of reach.                  

We have so much here,
                                        to live for.

Together as One
S G Arndt Sep 2017
together as one
fragile we were
still green to the world
so we ran with the lust

together as one
growing we were
are roots now deeper
this lust turned to love

together as one
as the years flew by
we created this life
a mother you now were

together as one
as our last days approach
what a life we both shared
together as one

Mourning's like These
S G Arndt Aug 2021
it is difficult to remain focused, during
Mornings like these.
a little sad, a little mad, during
Mornings like these.
memories come and go, blurry images, during
Mourning's like these.

I am Unafraid
S G Arndt Oct 2019
Looking up at the stars
That dreamy
Glow
Now with closed eyes
Imagining a prior
Self
Whispering from afar
Murmuring about neglected
Dreams
Unfazed but now understanding
That I am
Unafraid

Your Mind Strays
S G Arndt Jul 2018
Uncontrollably
Your mind strays
Things fall apart
You plead out
It’s the darkness
That won’t go away
A living hell
Feelings of betrayal
So many questions
Who is to blame
Who is to blame
Abruptly
Something surfaced
All the lies unfold
Losing control
You can no longer manipulate
You can no longer stop
The coming of the storm

No matter how much I take
These memories won't fade

Be My Inspiration
S G Arndt Apr 2016
Sleepless nights
Sleepless nights
Can you come over girl
I need some inspiration
Restless thoughts
Restless thoughts
The voices in my head won't stop
This is not who I am
I'm trapped
I'm trapped
In my own mind
Exhausting days
Turn to sleepless nights

Where Will the Power Go?
S G Arndt Jun 2018
Through the grass you maneuvered your way.
Preying on the weak, pleasing yourself,
day by day.
One must stay strong.
When faced with such allure.
One must remain true, true to the core.
By doing so,
you might regain control.
Overcoming obstacles and much more.
The knowledge gained unknown.
For when man conquers this,
where will the power go?

Don't Speak of Love (Ch.1)
S G Arndt Oct 2016
What is there for me to do? There's so much in this world you have not seen. How can you speak about love? Without you, I'm full of pain. And emptiness remains. I beg for your forgiveness. I begin to feel the shame. I said we were too young. But I'm begging you to stay. Please don't leave me in this empty world. Let's try another day. Do you see that if you don't speak of love, everything will be ok?

Put a bird in

Faith
S G Arndt Mar 2016
I don't talk too much
People talk too much
Don't you agree
Don't you agree
I hope you see
I hope you see
That you shouldn't
That you shouldn't
Have faith in me
Please have faith
In me

All These Poems
S G Arndt Jul 2016
How many poems can I write
How many poems can I write
About the girl I want to call mine
Maybe one more time
I can write
Until she finds me
She will one day see
All these poems that I write
All these poems that  I write
Were all for her
Just please girl don't ask for anymore

Among the Trees
S G Arndt Sep 2017
on mornings, like these
i sit
among the trees

Autumn, about to unfold
the leaves
are turning gold

the breeze, brushes by
as if
the woods are saying hi

i cannot describe, mornings like these
when i sit
among the trees

Past Relationships

Shared the love
The passion
We fell
Into depression
A living hell
So many questions
Feelings of betrayal
No answers
This is a cancer

Running in Circles
S G Arndt May 2016
You are too ******* yourself
Just let the past go
All these walls you have put up
It's hard for me to know
What you are really feeling inside
No emotions for you to show
Running in circles you say
Just let the past go
You're just running in circles now girl
Just let the past go

☁️
S G Arndt Nov 2018
enjoy these words
in silence
value every line
you might try
to look right through me
in an attempt
to dampen the shine

Cracks on the Walls
S G Arndt Aug 2016
You see the cracks on the walls
Oh how I've weathered so many storms
A few to many, have hit too hard
Leaving me with cracks
And scars from the past
Nothing makes sense anymore
These storms, they come too fast

Stay
S G Arndt Mar 2016
Be honest with me
Every word I say is real
You urge to talk to me
And our time is here
Baby are you here for me
I need to know just how you feel
Do you think your future is with me
I want to know if this is real

The Real Me
S G Arndt Mar 2016
You could have had me so simply
You let me walk away that day
They say things about me
I don't listen to what they say
You know the real me
So you say
You don't know the real me


You can't know the real me

I see you
So I'm going to get it

Selfish
S G Arndt Mar 2016
You said please
All you say is please
You say I am yours
Oh baby I can be yours
But just tonight
I want you tonight
Just don't blame me baby, please don't blame me
You shouldn't have followed me
Now all you can say is what if
I don't say or think, what if
So bring your body here
All we do is pretend here
I thought you knew I'd play you
And that this was never for you
You hate selfish people you say
You love me, you say

Give You Some Advice
S G Arndt Aug 2017
You could have it all,
but you don't believe me.
Why keep running and running?

"I wanna be free"

Let me give you some advice,
do what feels right.
But don't give up on me,
as the fire burns bright.
So join with me,
as we take on the night.
S G Arndt Sep 2017
"Continue On, Continue On"


If you know
If you know the flame is gone
Please let me know
And I will continue on


What is a man to do?
What is a man to do?
Dealing with a broken heart
That I didn't give you


We made all these plans
All these plans to be together
Now looking back, we were too young
But we thought the flame would last forever


Girl don't apologize
Don't apologize for the dark times
Because thinking of you now
Makes me smile

Mountains of Paper
S G Arndt Dec 2019
As mountains of paper continue to cover her desk, a student blurts out, “Why is my grade like this?”, the teacher knows she is behind, with grades, social life, motivation withering on the vine, but the students do not care, because Christmas is near, and when the next semester rolls around, another mountain will appear.

Artificial Flavor
S G Arndt Aug 2017
I struggled to recognize
myself in the mirror this morning.
Nothing feels the same.
Even the coffee has lost it's taste.
It's as if you added the flavor to my life.
All the colors do not shine the way they once did.
Without your vibrant smile,
I now hardly see the light of day.  
The echoes in the silence have grown closer,
I need a way to ease this pain.
S G Arndt Oct 2017
we are all running around, blind
in a place so fragile
this world
all these lies

the darkness comes from inside
and i can feel it tonight
so hold on
hold on tight

i remember the ways we touched
every time
as if it was our first time
together as one

i cannot begin to explain
the feelings i feel today
i have nothing here without you
i have no spark to inspire my day

That Little Tree
S G Arndt Mar 2016
Leaves falling, symbolic death
A human taking their last breath
Look around
As the wind blows us round and round
Where you stop, no one knows
The journey you will undergo
Maybe one day, we all will see
That we should have held on
To that little tree

☁️
S G Arndt Sep 2017
Don't go trying to stop me
from breaking free
Like a bird in a cage
let me spread my wings and be me

One night you came to me asking why
and you began to cry
I know words hurt
so I lied to your face

Another trip around the sun
and my lies have come full circle
We knew the time had come
the flame that was once there is now gone

Love is a tricky game
when two people come together
One moment you are crying on the floor
the next it has you begging for more

Parents Cry
S G Arndt Jul 2019
She was young
She was so independent
Parents cry—
About the wrongs she committed

They don’t try
They never try

But she doesn’t mind
She is young
And parents cry—
When their children outgrow their fantasy

Her Lie
S G Arndt Mar 2016
She was crying when I left her.
She has forgotten how to smile.
She said she wouldn't change.
She would rather hear a lie.
She would rather feel no pain.
She hears me say don't fall in love.
She see's me live my life.
She knows we have no future.
She wants to live a lie.
She begs me to stay.
She begs me to stay.
She begs me to stay in her lie.

Not Your Home
S G Arndt Mar 2016
You leave me exhausted
I want to be alone when I wake up
Baby you want to cry
I do not know what I am doing
This is not your home
You have no more to prove
Baby you start to cry
I do not know how to help
You thought this was your home
There is nothing more for you to do
Baby you fell to the floor
I watch you take one more
You could not accept
That this world was not for you
You did not know how this would end
Baby please
Do not leave this world we are in

I'm way too young
I'm way too young
Love all around
I can't stand the feelings

I'm way too young
I'm way too young
Love all around
I can't stand the feelings

Still way too young
We are way too young
You say you want love
But we run from our feelings

Still way too young
We are way too young
You say you want love
But we run from our feelings

Can I do you right
Oh baby please can I do you right
It's only 2:35 in the morning
You see it's only 2:35 in the morning
So lay yourself down in my bed
Yeah girl come lay yourself down in my bed
A night with me will change your ways
One time with me will change your ways
I hope you don't cry by the end of the night
Because girl if you cry by the end of the night
I may have to leave you and never come back
I will leave you and never come back

Beautiful Beaches
S G Arndt Jul 2016
I've been to beautiful beaches
I've felt the sand beneath my feet
Standing there in that open breeze
I've never felt more free

I've seen enormous cities
I've rushed around all day
Standing in that electric crowd
I've never felt this way

I've climbed the greatest mountains
I've had my breath taken away
Standing nearly in the sky
I've never seen the earth this way

I've come to realize one thing
I've been running and running from something
Standing on the moonlight shore
I've never felt this way before

That Spring Night
S G Arndt May 2016
You loved me first

Under that spring night sky
You fell harder
As my breath moved across your skin
Under that spring night sky
I was no longer a stranger
When we broke down our bodies boarders
Under that spring night sky
If only you could see yourself in the light
Of the stars above you tonight
Under that spring night sky
I thought I was in love
I never knew it would be the only time
Under that spring night sky
When I kissed you goodnight
And went on without you in my life

No more of this pain you left me in today

Baby please don't leave me this way
Please don't walk out that door
Just give me one more day
But without tears hitting the floor

A lit match
With an aged twist

Trembling through the night

Sometimes
I push myself
To see how far I can go
To see how high I can get
Sometimes

To take one more
To see how far I can go
Sometimes
I hate myself
And see no point in this
So I take one more
Sometimes
When I'm with you
I push for more
To see how high we can get
Sometimes
When I'm with you
All I want to do
Is go to the sky
Sometimes
When I'm with you
I think of her
But you can't know
Sometimes
When I'm with you
I hate myself
And see no point in this
