other people’s words
made my words seem small
but my words are mine
my words are special
my words are mine
my words have threads
of my soul woven into them
my words are mine
my words have my fire
my words are mine
my words are beautiful
my words are mine
my words come from my heart
my words are mine
my words have my love
my words are mine
my words share my story
my words are mine
my words share my struggle, my fight
my words are mine
my words come from my lips
my words are mine
my words come from my hands
my words are mine
my words have my fingerprints on them
my words are mine
my words can’t be told by anyone else
my words are mine
my words can’t be written by anyone else
my words are mine
my words don’t belong to anyone else
and i'll sing it from the rooftops
and shout it from the mountaintops
that my words are mine,
my words are mine,
my words are mine.

She still loves you and it's hard.
The first week was hard for her to endure,
Her heart cringing at the sight of you.
For her to hear your name, see your face;
Broke her heart a little.
You were her closest friend,
And she had no one else.

Although she ended it,
She still cares so much.
You meant something to her,
But you were also a great source of pain.
She couldn't stay with you
Because to see your face made her
Feel disgusted at the mean words you spoke.

Now that she's not with you,
She misses you so much.
Even when she decided to leave,
She didn't want to, but it
Was an unhealthy relationship for her.

You are a great person and all she wanted
Was for you to be happy,
And you are doing fine.
You are fine without her,
But she is not.

I was lost in the charm of her smiling eyes,
Lost in the gleam of her eyes;
Too lost to see the darkness inside.

She was my light, and I was blinded
By the glare of the sun; too naive to notice
That there is a dark side of the moon.

I was mesmerized by that scintillating smile,
Enthralled by her endless beauty;
To foresee what would come to be.

And billowing clouds came rushing in,
Covering my beautiful morning sky;
Blocking out all of the false light.

Now I am surrounded by the darkness,
I am searching for the gleam in her eyes;
Now it is lost and so am I.

Slowly made her way into my heart,
But so fast to leave me stranded.
Allowing myself to care whole-heartedly,
Only to be heartbroken by the person
Who once made me feel complete.

Her smiles and hugs used to fill me
With happiness, but now only
Bring a great source of pain.
How can she be so happy, while
Removing the smile off my face?

Letters of love written to me,
Each word now meaningless sentiment;
Every word written was a lie.
Said that she loved me too much to hurt,
Now she's knife deep into my heart.

Promises of an everlasting love
Are all broken. Her love for me is lost.
Or maybe I am too foolish, perhaps,
She never loved me at all...
Such a misery to have an unrequited love.

My mind now in a constant disarray,
Before I could hide it and let it slip away.
But I can't ignore the fact that I like you,
So the logical reasoning would be to let you go.
But I noticed, I noticed that I need you.
I need you because I do love you...
A wave of guilt is always soon to consume me,
Without any acts of infidelity occurring.
