We Have It All

Love ain't easy
But memories are free
Tonight's about taking a chance
And unraveling a little mystery

When we play on the edge
There's a chance we could fall
But right now, just right now
We have it all

I feel the rhythm of your heart beat
I hear your melody that sings to me
I see the way our hands intertwine
This could get a little crazy
But crazy is so hard to define

When we play on the edge 
There's a chance we could fall
But right now, just right now
Forget it all

A Million Words

A million words could not bring you back
Neither would a million tears,
I know because I've cried
I fought to hold on, I fought to let go
Finally decided to let that old memory go.
Haunted by your ghost, Smothered by your shadow
Such a debillitating force windfalled around me
Last time I saw you, you told me you were through.
Resisting the temptations and starting brand new.
When I recieved the news that you passed away
I dropped to my knees and shook my head in dismay.
I screamed, I shouted, then cursed your name
Couldn't help feel like I was to blame.
Watching myself as I ran away, 
back to the place where we met that day.
A kick to the stomache, A knife in the chest
I sat there crumbling as they lay you to rest.
What does one do, after a loved one dies
after such tragedy that bargains with lies.
A chemical dependence was your disease,
leaving you down, but making me believe.
I need you always, right beside me
to be a light and to guide me.
Remembering your life and keeping it close,
Keeping up the fight and forgetting the woes

Can'T Stay With You

It's not the way you loved me,
It's the way you shoved me down
I can't face how much it hurts me
when you turned your back on me
you only pushed me away

Though you know I cant stay with you
So please dont cry
just remember how im sayin my goodbye
and remember that you've lost your chance with me
Realize that Im nothing without you
but understand I cant stay with you

It's not the way you loved me
It's the way you left me be
I cant face how much it hurts me

Your a constant vision
I see playing in my head
I see you
I see the way you loved me
Your a piercing voice
that's screaming in my ear
I hear you
I hear the words you love me.

Next Journey

So Happy, she wears this smile
that makes her eyes glisten
as she spreads her warmth of love to others
& singing the song she'll never tell
careful of letting one emotion slip to show how much she really cares
or how each day her heart aches
just to know if today she will get by
without one thought or feeling
without one question or doubt
without one picture or word
running in her head.
She hides the truth like no other can
fooling you with a clear disguise
only running away from every man
Even though she may try to erase, the memories and what was planned,
it's only failure waiting to happen
Hoping only for one's happiness & joy, knowing time wont stand still
She takes 1 more breath , as her heart skips a beat 
and closes the door in her life that was opened by one like NO other
that stole the key to unlock it & may never return it 
Then she looks back to the past & 
begins to walk toward the next road on her journey

Trapt

Why do I feel the way i do?
so scared to read as imperfect to one's eye
I see in my head as the feeling imprison's me
I fight and fight and try to run away
but it's addiction just wont stray.

I am trapt
trapt in a battle alone
for it consumes me
and takes over me whole
I begin to think im doomed,
doomed for this Hell Hole!

So fed up with the worries and lies
I scream and scream...then wait for help
but you could never know the pain i feel
Can't anyone hear me?
they sound like they're near me

As I begin to realize
then it comes clear to me
It is my own two eyes
that I FEAR.

You Are

if i could tell you one thing, it would be thank you
how could I express all that  you mean to me
when you know me best, better than the rest
As i see how fast the years go by,
i cant help but breakdown and cry.
oh for when i get that feeling, you always could take it away

my strength, you are my strength
my heart is 1/2 your heart and will never part..will never part
in the end, love is all that matters

fear was always wiped away as long as you were near
you ought to know that i will always be here
as i pray to god in bed each night
i thank him for the countfull blessings and usual things like that
but most of all i thank him for giving you to me

My  strength, you are my strength
my heart is 1/2 your heart and never part..will never part
in the end, love is all that matters

Mask

You seemed different, 
unlike the others
When you said you weren't like them, 
I trusted your words

Oh what a fool was I, yes indeed
to be used as a tool for you to succeed

So you thought that I could be bought,
with materialistic and life's finer things?
Nope not me, 
never would I become that person.

Oh what a fool was I, yes indeed
to be used as a tool for you to succeed

You start to thirst my love
while your body burst into flames
From under the fire
of my heart's desire
Then you look at me with such sorrow and despair
although I really dont care

I see the real you 
I see behind the mask
The mask you always wear.

Ordinary

I will never be known as just some girl
As a question without any answers,
But will be known as a person.

I have a reason for this life
which i have yet to determine

Never will I settle for average
bebcause I am not just a girl
I AM ORDINARY

New Skin

Shut Up!
Leave me alone
and Just let me be free
I will live my life, NOT yours!

Am I not good enough for you? 
Or will I ever be?
I will not give up the only thing that I can control,
My Pride
because it will stand only by my side
Oh No, here it comes
it strides up and down my bones, threw my mouth
So dark, So cold
Another Panick Attack,  
such a Panick Prone


You will not mold me anymore
because the light is so bright, 
that I can see it clearly now.
I push and shove just to get threw
Now that your out of my sight
I can breathe once again.

In the end, 
you have lost and I have won
For my old skin has been shedded off
and my new skin has come to stay
Happy again, forever this way
Beautiful, Abstract, and Free
I can finally be ME!

Lost Soul

All that I want to say
is covered by fear
I just cant find a way
to make this disapear
If you could see through me
really what would you see
or what would you say?
IF you only knew
All the pain
All the lies
All the things
that I tried
just to feel 
like I belong
back & forth
there i'd go
it was wrong
yes I know
just say it ain't so
So as I sit here thinking
wondering how I got here
knowing something isn't right
I'm blinded by a sight
that leaves me in a daze
and as I begin to fight
Im left with only more Rage!
