If my face was a mirror,
Your love has broken the glass,
Shattered not seeing clearer,
Puzzles present to past.
If your womb was of water,
Indeed 'twas I that drowned,
No sculptor nor a potter,
Could craft the curse you've crowned.
Some say your love is fire,
And I the weakest wood,
What made you burn desire?
To beguile in my blood.
Heavy you are of stone,
Atop a fragile feather,
My heart you crushed to own,
With lies to love forever.
Before I was a bridge,
Until your beauty blew,
My life over the edge,
And then I fell for you.
Emotions in me entered,
As intercourse was nice,
Yet serpents in you centered,
A heart colder than ice!
My trials and tribulations,
With you tell like a tale,
As sour and rich relations,
Of Angels loving hell.
If my face was a mirror,
Your love has broken the glass,
Shattered not seeing clearer,
Puzzles present to past.
Son, say no to drugs...
You are born as a beautiful child.
Your parents had a dream to make you
a wonderful and worthy child
They did their best for you with
their struggle and pain.
Now they have pain in their heart to know
you are taking drugs
Their worries and pain in their heart you can not see
The tears on their face, you can not wipe
They have loved you and taken care on you.
Why should you take drugs
These are bad for you and kill you slowly
They make you crazy and lazy
Your cough will take your parents breath away
Your ruin health will kill your parents slowly
Not only you ruin your life but also your parents
Say no to drugs and save your life
Say no to drugs and take your parents worries away
Say no to drugs and save your nation's future
You have dream and make it come true

My Heart Beats In Your Chest
It’s like every beat of my heart is calling out your name
And pumping you through my veins
It burns so bittersweet in the arms of another
Stealing away, to steal you away from your thief
It pains me to say, my pain turns away a new leaf
These fresh flowers bear rotten fruit from the soil still bearing your name
And I’m staring in shame
At the things I’ve allowed to grow
My love
You don’t know. You don’t know…
Desperation weeps from a heart once loved
by hands blessed by god, by hands so tender,
a heart believed they were safe, only to be hurt
at the end asking itself, "why?"
The dark clouds hid her heart from view
No one could see it so no one knew.
That this heart of hers had laid dormant
For a very long time.
Afraid to come out of its shell
Cause it knew pain very well.
It had been hurt so many times before
That it decided to close its doors.
It had gotten to a state
That like a bear it would hibernate.
She had a sign outside her door
Love doesn’t live here any more.
Love from this place has moved away
In here it could not stay.
In this house there is too much gloom
How is love supposed to bloom?
There in the corner sits her broken heart
Numerous times it had been torn apart.
So she lives in misery, wondering
When her heart will be free.
Then a light shown from under the door
From a heart who had been here before.
They say that “ misery loves company”
But they found love and are now free.
( I’m an optimist)
My love is so pure ...My heart is made off glass..
Everyday you see through .. My heart off glass..
Every crack you see .. In my heart off glass..
Still you chip away... At my heart of glass..
With all your nasty words.. You crack it some more.
My heart off glass.
Every day i cover up and hide ,My heart off glass
Yet you still see through .. My heart off glass..
You've broke it so many times .. Its just fell apart
Pieces lost here and everywhere .. Gone for ever more
Now you've broke .. My heart off glass..
Still you come back .. For even more
Off my heart off glass.
I've always been the last one to fall
Holding my heart under lock and key
Up in a tower standing so tall
It's Beating in Harmony
While i'm Living in ecstasy
Guarded from love
And all it's damning reverberations
Seeing you standing next you next to me
Takes the breath away from me
But your motives were all revolting
And now i'm stuck here hurting
Forced to live a lie
Sitting here begging to die
I was just another notch on your bedpost
And now you think you have the right to boast
Up and spinning away
My heart gives way
No more beating harmony
Or living in ecstasy
Looking at you now really breaks me
This key, how it laughs!- how it taunts!
how it shows proof of a heart to unlock.
Yet with every atempt it leaps from my grasp,
And plays a cruel game of hide and seek.
A game from which mine heart wanes.
Now i find the key..
Only to hear the cruel laughter once more.
My heart is now a broken glass
Of showers shattered in the street
Unknown in pieces people pass
Shifting and shoving with their feet
The love I've loved has left and gone
My heart is now a broken glass
The life I've lived is loathed and done
Crippled near cracks, scattered in mass
How far is present from the past?
I can't rewind her love to me
My heart is now a broken glass
If only bees would let me be!
Dis-owned by love like autumn leaves
I knew our romance would not last
What works of vice thy woman weaves
My heart is now a broken glass
My heart overtakes me
Sadness covers my eyes so I cannot see
My heart desires to be free
My heart overtakes me
Loneliness and I sit under the weeping willow tree
My heart has sorrows deeper than the sea
My heart over takes me
Brokenhearted load too heavy to carry
My heart suffocating this is scary
My heart over takes me
Sacrifice screams frantically
My heart, my heart let me be…
She sits in the shadows of a place well too known at a table filled with people feeling
all alone. Staring at her empty glass the pain starts to slip away, by glass five she'll
be able to face another day.
She slides her chair away from the table of despair, and makes her way to a small town
stage she's been singing on for years. As she starts to sing her song she no longer sees
that small town bar, she's singing to a crowd of people away so very far. Her voice may
crack a little and go out from time to time but when she starts to sing her song a
strength pours out of her battered soul and for a moment she truly shines. With the music
in her ear and her mind and heart in the song she escapes from everything that ever could
go wrong. A heart with walls of steal and remorse for none but her she's destined to walk
a lonely road which seems to be preferred. She'll awake in the morning to a face familiar
or unknown but that night you'll be sure to find her at that table feeling all alone.
As my heart feels the pain we’ve been through
~I cried
As my eyes remembered the way they looked at you
~They cried
As my mind reminisces on the good and bad times we have had
~It cried
As my soul misses your soul and my heart misses your heart
~ My Spirit cried
Knowing we will never be able to laugh together again…..I screamed
But knowing that you will never cry again….I laughed
NOTE: Even though you’re gone. I still have your goodness inside of me and that helps
me smile… Therefore, I laugh…
Deep in my mind rest the place of wonderful memories kept
Joyful times and unforgettable events rewind in my mind like a replay
The dreadful thought of the end to these memories I must accept
Yet my body cannot help but hold a heavy heart on this tragic day
Deep in my heart I hold on to lessons you taught throughout the years
The importance of family, religion, and education pounded into my head is still very
much appreciated
Because although not visible, your spirit will forever be here
Running through the veins of your love ones with all the power and love it
generated
Deep in my sole lies a love that is held to the highest degree
God had truly blessed the world when he created this angel in disguise
On this day, we dedicate the memory of a wonderful woman you could agree
Your generosity and kind words I will forever memorize
I'm getting married
to man who only thinks of me as a Friend
I sit here and watch you leave with your friends
While I sit here on this lonely Futon
Waiting for you
You say I'm not your type
But your mine
My heart aches
Cause to you I'm too fat
you like the girls in the middle
I will try to lose weight for you
If I could make you mine
I will anything in my power just to get you to notice me
I can't keep these tears from falling from my checks
Because of the pain you put my heart through
I'm sorry that I am not perfect enough for you.
With skin so pale you resembled a ghost,
And lips as red as the cherries you ate,
You were, by far, more beautiful than most.
With a mind so smart, and a heart so great,
If only, if only, you loved me, too.
To me, you were all that mattered in life.
And I knew that my love for you was true,
But without your love, I was filled with strife.
Lying side by side one cold, wintry night,
Our bodies' heat fogging up the windows,
I declared my love for you with delight.
But you did not answer and quickly rose.
I loved you as much as my heart allowed,
But then, you left to join Him in the clouds.
