You Are A Star
Stewart Linney Jan 2013
You are a star.
That's what you are to me,
A part of me.

You are a star.
It's not hard to see,
I mean it wholeheartedly.

You are a star.
Forever a star you'll be,
Part of the sky,
You'll never be far from me.

You are a star to me.

Ms. Judged Me
Stewart Linney Nov 2012
Ms. judged me.
I can't help but feel,
That she's misjudged me.

In reflection,
I can't fault her.
I just hope it's not a perception,
That I can't alter.

In Secrecy It Grows
Stewart Linney Nov 2012
I never did have,
The decency to show,
Or how to tell I felt for her,
In secrecy I chose.

A love will be revealed,
If the secret is exposed.
But I will never tell her,
So in secrecy it grows.

Forgotten How To Smile
Stewart Linney Jan 2013
I've forgotten how to smile.
It's been so long,
That when I try to smile,
It feels so wrong.

Demon (Upon My Door)
Stewart Linney Nov 2012
I hear a gentle tapping,
Upon my door.
A gentle rapping,
Upon my door.

The mental sapping
sound, up on my door.
In gripped suspense,

Gripped, and tense.
The sound upon my door.
The haunting echo,
The taunting echoes.

I hear my name.
No-one knows
I'm here,
So why do I hear my name,
Upon my door?

A quiet screaming,
Makes no sound
but deafens,
This quiet demon upon my door.

Frightful, scheming upon my door,
'You can't come in',
I scream,
Frightened, screaming up on my door.

The lights flicker,
The atmosphere of the night's thicker,
The demon hits like a heart beat
upon my door.

I close my eyes in fear,
After a tear,
I re-open my eyes.
I lay, just me and the sound of my heart beat,
Upon my floor.

This room in my mind has no door,
No windows,
There's no way out.

The demon is in here,
He was never upon my door.
The demon is in here,
Forever upon my floor.

Sunshine Follows Her
Stewart Linney Nov 2012
Sunshine follows her.
Her beauty shines so, so bright,
I'm in her shadow.
