Houston,
We seem to have a problem
Love never took off
The way we were expecting

After all the flowers
And all the money spent
We never had a go
We never made a dent

Houston,
All systems have shut down
We never could get this love affair
Up off the ground

10, 9, 8
7 and then 6
That's only as far
As this countdown went

Houston,
Could we give it another try
Isn't there a back up
Could we launch this thing at night

Although a love like this
Has been in the plan for years
All it is that we have left
Is a control room full of tears

Houston,
We seem to have a problem
Love never took off
The way we were expecting

mom played dave matthews
on the way home and sister, sister
hummed softly while i considered the
things I never thought would
happen this year and the sky was
green and orange and blue
green and orange and blue
till it reached the mountains

This year, I actually feel older.

goodbye, 19.
You say one thing but don't follow through
Leaving me alone left to ponder and ask why
Did I do or say something that hurt you
I understand you are busy but I know you have time

My mind wonders is this fate
Is destiny revealing that this relationship is way overdue
Maybe we just need to escape for our own sake
See some place new where we both can share the view

Please I don't want this to be goodbye
We can run faraway and start with a fresh new slate
But for now I wait as you seem to be preoccupied in another lie
****** just look me in the eye and tell me it straight
content
with
loneliness
Daniel Magner 2014
And that's when I look into
Your heart filled with despair
That I can't quite grasp the words
Coming from your mouth
Telling me you love me,
But the truth is you hate me
And I can tell when you **** me
How you leave bruises and bite marks on my body
But I'm sadistic that way,
I'm addicted to this pain you cause me
That I can't even breathe when I look at you
And the thing that kills me the most is I still love you,
I can tell when I taste your lips sweet as wine
And when my hands shake as I reach for your buckle
I can feel it in my body when you finish
And I know you feel it too,
But there is no way to mend
These cuts and bruises of our souls
But I will still pray for you

They ask me over and over again,
"What boy hurt you to make you this way?"
And I laugh.
Because they are too ignorant to understand
Liking girls does not require a previous pain,
Or being touched by a hand you thought you could trust
Love has no ****** preference
And love has no gender
So I am forced to ask them,
"What girl hurt you to make you that way?"
They look at me puzzled
And they don't understand
Because their normal only has one definition
And that is theirs.
They don't understand that maybe,
Just maybe,
I deserve love in which ever way makes me feel the butterflies in my tummy
And makes my hands perspire in the pocket of my hoodie
They can't seem to see
That I have seen more love in the curves of her back
Than they will ever see on their knees.
But no matter how much I tell them that there is nothing wrong with me,
That no boy hurt me,
They persist.
They no longer ask.
They just plainly state,
"A boy hurt you and made you this way."

The fight to keep us together
Is certainly unbelievable
The fights we have
Hurt, like hell but are retrievable

You are affectionate and extroverted
Your full of wonders of joy and your heart felt
But me I was introverted but it's different now
U helped me with stress and pain I've dealt

It makes you sympathetic when you listen to my problems
I know I complain and whine a lot, it's just this love is divergent
When I say I feel ugly you say the opposite you say beautiful
You make me smile and giggle, when I need you sometimes it's urgent

But if we take out our fights and out in good times
Everything seems to align like the stars, just right
To me ur my world and larger then life
You are my BOOBEAR and my hubby, I'll be holding on to this love very tight

I love your smile, it's so cute with ur messed up tooth
Stop calling yourself ugly, you know I don't like when you do it
I think you are the cutest most sexiest man alive
And don't forget it(;
