Uncertain

Apr 2013 Erin

Shylah S

Its like a train ride,
Don't know your destination,
Or who's going to come along,
Uncertain when it ends,
Or when it will begin,
Then again,
What would it be like if it all was certain?

I like questions that make me think. Aren't questions one of the best inventions of mankind, no?

Pretty On The Outside

Pretty On The Outside

Boys want her.
Girls envy her.
Kids worship her.

All because of her looks.
All because her dimples are deep.
Her teeth are straight and gleam.
Her eyes are clear and sparkly.
Her hair is long and shiny.

But no one sees the inside.
They don't see the pain she hides.
Don't see the tears she holds back.
No one sees her loneliness.

They don't take the time to ask.
They just assume she's alright.
All because she's pretty on the outside.

I kinda used the bullet for my valentine "Pretty on the Outside" but twisted it a bit.

Why do I love you?

Why do I love you?

You dont know why,
Neither do I,
But I now I know,
The beauty of its glow,
The glory in its light,
Shining so bright,
It will never die,
It will never lose,
Its the reason I love you.

Seriously

Seriously

I fell into your arms
After tripping over stone cold fact
You held me for a moment until the shock wore off a bit
Giggling warmly at my clumsiness
and I couldn't help but share the laugh
Just then I realized how long it had been
Since someone reminded me to do that

Missing You

Missing You

The sky blends with colours white and blue
And my hands clench at the thought of missing you,
The dew-covered grass brushes lightly against my skin
Maybe I can lose to the sun and the sun can win
All my emotions trapped in my head
It fills me with even more dread

Maybe the sky will be again blue
When it is not thinking of missing you

Sadness is a weird thing.

Five Years

Five Years

Five years.
So much can happen
In that amount of time.

Five years ago you left.
Five years ago I thought I'd never see you again.
Five years ago seems a life time away.

Four years ago I found new friends.
Four years ago I didn't know how I'd get through.
Four years ago is so far away.

Three years ago I wasn't sure who my friends were.
Three years ago I saw you again for the first time.
Three years ago is so far gone now.

Two years ago I thought I found a new best friend.
Two years ago you came to live with me for a few weeks.
Two years ago is a distant memory.

One year ago I was shunned by my friends.
One year ago I said a final good-bye, unsure of how long until I would see you again.
One year ago is something I'm holding onto for the years to come.

Four months from now I won't have any friends.
Four months from now you and I, we will be reunited.
Four months from now is a future I'm grasping desperately.

Five years is a long time
To go without a best friend.
To go without my sister.

In a short span of months
We can finally see each other!
We can finally stop saying good-bye.

The next four years
Will be the best!
We won't have to wait and fly thousands of miles just to see each other.

From Prague to Kuala Lumpur
Takes so much time and is so far
We only see each other once a year.

Manhattan to Bronx
Doesn't take so long and is not as far.
Now we can see each other whenever we want!!

Five years.
So much can happen
In that amount of time.

But now,
Now we are together
Once again.

My best friend and I are going to college about 30 minutes away from each other after being seperated by 6+ hour flights!

Why, After So Long?

Why, After So Long?

Why do I keep checking my phone
Hoping and hoping that there'll be a message from you?
Or that you might just call?
Why is that glimmer of hope still lurking in the shadows?
I want you gone;
Out of my life,
Out of my mind,
Out of my thoughts,
Out of my dreams.
But still hope is lurking
Even when we haven't talked for weeks.
Even after I decided I didn't want to care anymore.
Honestly I don't want to care anymore.
Not when you never did,
Not after you used me,
Not after everything that passed between us.
I just want to forget it all;
Forget that it happened,
Forget that we ever met,
Forget that I fell in love with you.
I want this hope to leave
Never to come back.
But it's hiding in the shadows;
Just like in Pandora's box
Hope is the last to go.
Why do I keep checking my phone
Hoping and hoping that there'll be a message from you?
