Missed Opportunity

Tears well up in my eyes
As the words run through my mind
How I was such a fool
For thinking I could love someone like you

Or is it that I'm so unsure
Of what that really means
Or possibly that I don't believe
That you could love someone like me

My heart and my head are so full of doubt
They go round and round battling it out
One says I'm a fool for even taking a chance
The other has convinced me that I fell for you at first glance

Or is it that my perspective
Is just so twisted
Or possibly that the opportunity is there
And I will be the one to miss it

Friendship Unbecoming

A person one knows, likes, or trusts, Webster calls a friend
However, that is not always the case in the end
Each of those traits is in the eye of the beholder, you see
Over time, many times, people become less and less trustworthy
Depleting what's left of our integrity
Leaving us empty
Lonely

Affection arising from good will and mutual esteem
Is what Webster calls the connection between you and me
A ship that sails so steadily with experience and ability
But the reality of the situation, in all actuality
Is hidden so that no one else can see
The lack of honesty that leaves nothing to believe
Taking something important far away from me

So what could Webster call what we've become, you and me
There's no confidence, no principal, or dependability
Moving, turning, changing our minds constantly
Switching positions on the battlefield, you versus me
I think I have the answer in me
The sad truth is, you see
That you and I have simply become enemies

Forbidden Fruit

A yearning to reach out
To touch what I cannot pursue
Must be buried deep inside
To avoid being misconstrued

Gazes shared across the room
One from me, one from you

Piercing through each other's eyes
To a place only the other knew
Inside a dark and endless chasm
To where hope lay but never grew

Aching for just a moment or two
One from me, one from you

Thoughts plague and roam my mind
While I try not to be consumed
However, I often think if you
As my own piece of forbidden fruit

Shattered Dreams

Broken thoughts run through my head

Like pieces of glass cutting away making me wish I were dead

To cease to exist and stop the pain inside

To forget every moment and leave it all behind

I am so lost and in a dark and lonesome place

What's this I see? Blood trickling down my face?

How did I get here and why can't I leave

My chest feels so tight that I feel like I can't breathe

I am trapped in my head and I can't get out

You'd better go before you're found

I've never been afraid before

Now there a stronger influential force

It has all come down to the fear

I can't help but cry these bloody tears

Haunted

Thoughts consume my attention 
With no cure for such an affliction 
I am unable to sleep 
Without you haunting my dreams 

Cold chills and darkness run deep 
Within the promise I had hoped to keep 
Following me throughout my days 
As I slowly, inside, waste away 

A vow to love forevermore 
Sanctioned by forgotten lore 
Accompanying me in this life 
Leaving pain, destruction and strife

Abandoned

The light that once shone in my eyes is no longer there
It left me when you did
The child that lived inside me, the innocence I once possessed
Exists now only in a dream 

I put all my faith, my love, and my trust in you
You were my world
I looked up to you 
I needed you
But you didn't want me and you never needed me

I stood there, speechless, watching as you walked away, unable to do anything
I wanted you to stay
I didn't know how I would go on without you
I cried
I poured my heart and soul out to anyone who cared enough to listen
Eventually, I didn't even have that anymore
I no longer trusted anyone
From that moment on, I knew I would be alone forever
Locked inside my own little world afraid to come back out
Never again would I allow myself to linger after anyone
Not even you
Memories plague me to this day
Thinking, wishing, hoping there was something I could've done to make you stay
To make you want to stay
I don't know why you abandoned me; only that you did
Left with a broken heart and no one to help me put the pieces back together again
Nothing in this world had ever hurt so much
No one could possibly understand what I would have given to have you with me
To hug, to kiss, to hold me tight
Little did I know then, what this would do to me
It stole my happiness
It destroyed me
It left me weak and helpless, with no hope of ever being whole again
I looked at you and realized that you are still a part of my life
Just not the way I want you to be
I thought for one moment that you would come back to me
You hugged me; kissed me; made me feel like everything was alright again
How long will this dance of ours continue?
There are times I wish I had never known you; times I wish I didn't care

A Little Down

I'm going crazy and feeling lost
I know the price, but what is the cost
Of leaving myself open to you
Searching only for the truth

Back and forth, up and down
Falling fast to the ground
Whirlwinds spring like wildflowers
Sitting alone, counting the hours

Fear of losing myself completely
Getting too deep, feeling to needy
How far will this really go
Why do I feel compelled to know

I never thought I'd do this again
But I met you, that's when it began
Now I'm here in this place
Left in the dark with no compass

Judgement Day

I walk about my lonely day

Feeling as though I'm wasting away

If looks could kill I would be dead

Just take me to the guillotine and cut off my head

 

Don't ask me how and don't ask me why

It doesn't matter because I'm numb inside

But what have I done to deserve such punishment?

Will you judge before hearing my testament?

 

Does the truth matter to you at all?

Or will you set the blade and let it fall?

Just go, leave me here to die in peace

As you go, just pull the release and…

Where To Go From Here

Breath-taking, heart-racing waves crash over me,
As we melt into each other
My body awakens from a deep sleep,
As your lips meet mine
Life flows through my soul once again

You shake the very core of my being
Passion thrives in my skin
Take me

My heart skips a beat when you walk into the room
Wishing, hoping, wanting, yearning for your touch

Tears well up as I see you walk by,
Seeming as though I don't exist
Fear takes hold even though I resist
Feeling used and alone

You filled me up now leave me empty
Fuel to the fire that lit me up
Sizzled out
