I think about you day and night
I begin to dream
Thoughts that make my heart take flight
I smile from ear to ear
Singing love songs
Loud enough for the world to hear
Oh this feeling is so grand
I dream of us soaking in the sun
Laying in the sand
Waves would be crashing
And my, did you look smashing!
We'd laugh and play
And waste the day away
When night falls
We'll cuddle in close
With a fire that calls
Inviting marshmallows to roast
And in my dream
I could already feel
Our love was strong
Our love was real

I can see you smiling through the pain
You've been through storms of hurt and rain
Your heart is big, but your eyes weak
But you still act strong, oh so sweet
Although you say you're quite alright
Saying that phrase takes all your might
Such a weak soul, you think to yourself
And begin doing things not good for your health
You'll walk out of bathrooms with nosebleeds
Hiding your face so no one sees
No one knows anything
Just the way you want it to be
Years after rehab, you begin again
But to stop, all you needed was a friend
Someone who cared about you so
And take care of you in times of woe
A friend who loved you endlessly
And to make sure you fell sound asleep
A friend at heart is all you need
To cope with this world full of greed
Jo Sep 2012
I wish I could say
I knew you like before
It seems like yesterday
When you walked out the door
My heart was broken
But you didn't care
For you, I left my life open
Like Hawaiian air
You shattered my heart
And ran out of my future
As if we never had a start
As if we were never together
Jo Sep 2012
And as though she read my mind
She walked away
And just like that
I'd lost a friend
Someone who was there though it all
Now gone
Oh well
I thought
Just another open space in my heart
As always
So alone
Growing more lonely every day
Not a surprise
Given any day
I would have chosen to live alone
I would have been by myself
It's better that way
After all
The life of a changeling
Is a lonesome one
Jo Sep 2012
I am like paint
Peeling from the wall
Slowly
But not yet
Starting to fall
I'll float to the ground
Where no one will see
Everyone will walk by
And forget about me

I am like stars
The kind that die early
And fall off into space
But people still see me surely
I'll shine them goodbye
Quickly depleting
And for eternity
I will be seizing
Jo Aug 2012
I know you don't remember me
But I remember you
I remember years ago
Back when the skies were blue
We used to laugh in secret
And run in the rain
Hide from all the adults
And never heard of pain.
A decade passed
But I was true to my word
I would never forget you
Not even if the memories blurred
Jo Jul 2012
I took a deep breath
Then closed my eyes
Silently to myself
I added up your lies

Just a few
Here and there
But you lied straight to my heart
And that's just not fair

You said forever
And I believed you
Now I'm here alone
We're not the perfect two
