First and Last

The first breathe is said to be taken,
the moment you are born.
Five months ago I lived that moment again,
and was lucky enough to be reborn.

My first true breathe was taken,
from the first moment I met you.
It was then I realized I had not been living,
and my first breathe was long overdue.

I began living from the moment I saw you,
and I die slowly whenever your depressed. 
But no matter what my soul is feeling,
my heart will forever beat within your chest.

Their is no other who can possible take your place,
your spot in my life is forever set in stone.
As long as we have each other,
We will never again be left out and alone.

Every morning that I wake up to a thought of you,
my body fills with intense emotion.
Their has never been someone I loved so much,
who I cared for with such devotion.

I will love you until the day comes,
when we have to part while I take my final breath.
But when that day draws closer I want you to know,
I will continue to love you even in death.

If theres one joy, one love,
from which I never want to part.
Its you my very special love,
my world my life, my heart.

My first and last breath,
the first and last beat of my heart.
Will all take place when I am with you,
Nothing will ever tear us apart.

Beware the Flames

When I was very young I was told a saying,
once you touch the heat of the fire,
you will never want to touch it again.
those who follow this saying are people that I admire.

I've fallen into the same trap over and over
after all the pain i endured I have yet to learn.
This path is leading me towards the fire.
And more then my hand will burn.

Allowing the glorious blaze of the fire to consume me,
is what I find hard to avoid.
I let the fire take over my heart,
until my entire being is destroyed.

I tell myself that their is always a chance,
I cling to a tiny thread of hope.
Wishing that one day I will be pulled up by love,
only to find the thread cut and I again fall down the slope.

I still believe that one day I will be saved,
someone will walk by to pull me up from the thread.
Until then I must realize,
I cant look behind me I must always look ahead.

Although the flames may taunt and hurt me,
they also keep me warm in the cold.
Once you learn how to control the flame,
they are truly something to behold.

Love can be seen as a burning fire,
mesmerizingly dangerous when it first comes into sight,
but worth the pain and anguish when it is controlled.
Im waiting for the day when its time for my love to ignite.

The Unknowing Angel

People have said that love is blind,
and that our hearts will lead the way.
That day I realized in order to find love,
you must be blind folded and led astray.

My path crossed with an unknowing angel,
Wandering her path as blind as can be.
And with my luck this wandering angel,
just so happened to fly down to me.

She was unable to see the world around her,
and trusted me to be her guide.
I took her by the hand,
and led the way with pride.

At the end of the path her vision returned, 
and she looked into my eyes.
It was her turn to take me by the hand,
and lead me with her into the skies.

The unknowing angel doubted her beauty,
and believed she was a mess.
But that hasnt stopped me from falling in love,
with the girl wearing the oreo dress.


Dedicated the the oreo cookie that sorrounds my filling.

Can I Be Loved?

My past has left me burned and scarred,
my soul and spirit has turned to ash.
My esteem and ego has blown away in the wind,
my confidence and pride are locked in a clash.

Neither side seems to be taking advantage,
but something drastic must be done.
Should I endure and wait out this pain,
or should I give up, get out and run?

Thanks to the burns that have haunted me all my life,
I fail to see any good in me.
I feel that I can never be loved,
and their is nothing worthwhile in me left to see.

Something is always done that makes me doubt the love,
our love gets stronger and we get closer by the day.
But the waterfall dries up,
and it seems my heart drifts farther away,

When I am told those three magic words, 
I feel that their is no way they can possibly be true.
My hatred for myself reflects love that is aimed my way,
that was until the moment that I met you.

I have heard these words on countless occassions, 
but never given reason to believe.
After being convinced that I could never find love, 
I was not prepared for the blow I was about to recieve.

I was shown love by an unknowing angel,
who has finally led me towards the light.
I dreamed of climbing and climging,
but I never thought my heart would reach this height.

I must come to the realization,
that their is nothing wrong with me.
I must take the mask off of my heart,
So that the person I love is able to see.

Journey of a Boy

The young child stares into the blue sky above him,
his mind creates creatures in the clouds.
Warm images of lively creatures in the world above,
as his life goes on the images begin to shroud.

The child continues on the journey everyone must face,
he stops to look at a bright green leaf on an oak tree.
As he marvels at the strength of the leaf holding on,
it drops off the oak and falls down free.

The child spots a lone deer in the distance,
enjoying the lush grass before it.
A wolf leaps from the bushes near the creature,
in minutes the lush green grass turns a dark red.

As the child proceeds, the road begins to fog,
the child hears laughter in the distance.
pausing for a moment to finally hear the voice of another.
The laughing turns to screams then disapears from existance.

Watching all the events around him,
the child regrets the choice that he has made.
he is the one that decided to go through this journey alone,
he has no one to save him, no one to give him aid.

The child stares into the sky above him,
his mind shows the falling leaf and the wolf beginning to attack.
Hoping for an escape from this vision,
all he is able to see is black.

Love Is Blind But You Are Not

Your stomach hurts
and your heart is aching
I just hope for your sake
that it isn't breaking

Ive been trying to tell you
Ive been trying to help
i'm doing this for you
this doesn't benefit myself

You say your in love
and that love is blind
you say that you love him
and your hearts seem entwined

Love may be blind 
but your eyes and mind see clearly
I highly doubt this guy
impaired your vision this severely

You already have love
we should all be as blessed
you deserve the world 
and i wish you the best

You've recently seen his flaws
but what more can you expect
love is love 
and nobody is perfect

This is all i can tell you
theirs nothing more i can do
the decision is yours
and the rest is up to you

Temptation

You tempt me with your touch
you tempt me with your stare
you tempt me with your love
which I know isn't their

Hearing the words "I love you"
doesn't mean a thing
empty words don't phase me 
yet you still have my heart on a string

I love the way you treat me
I hate that it's all a lie
although I feel I need to
I could never say goodbye

I'm not the only one you fool
with your words and your deceit
until you part yourself from them
our love is incomplete

Your touch, your words, your whispers
Keep me from feeling dismal and alone
but lead me not to temptation
I can find that road on my own

Suffering of a Broken Soul

Never together
always alone
by myself forever
no where to call home

No one to love me
no one to care
as far as I can see
life is not fair

A broken empty heart
is life worth living
always apart
never forgiving

Stop life from passing by
or is it to late
I would ask myself why 
but theirs no time to debate

As the sun goes down
the moon begins to rise
my smile turns to a frown
and my soul starts to die

My Salvation

Withering into the darkness,
yet walking towards the light.
do not give up my friend,
you have not yet lost this fight.

Trying desperately to find a cure,
to these wounds that may never mend.
Looking back at my past,
am I really speaking of a friend?

It has been me all along,
that has been searching for salvation.
a means to finally cease my torment,
and end my desperation.

After all my wandering and searching,
I have finally found a cure.
In the company of my family and friends,
is where I am most secure.

Their words, their love, their care,
is what has always kept me warm.
Their calm and soothing nature, 
is what has saved me from the storm.

Emerging from the darkness,
not submitting to the light.
I will never admit defeat,
and I will not lose this fight.

Not Good Enough

I have always been told
That all I must do is to try my best.
I have been trying that all my life
And all it has done is left me alone and depressed.

The pain that I have suffered
Trying to earn a place in your heart.
Has only given me the stress of knowing
That we are only drifting apart

All of my effort and all of my soul
Was put into my plight.
To take you in my arm
So we may run off into the night.

I have put in all my will and my strength
To convince you that we were meant to be.
You told me you feel the same 
But you cannot because you are not free.

There is another in your life
That possesses the key to your heart that I desire.
You have told me yourself
That he is a cheater and a liar.

You know for a fact 
That you are not the only girl in his life.
Then why do you insist
On putting yourself through this pain and this strife.

I would spend every waking minute with you
If I was just given a chance.
But from my current state
I am not given room to advance.

I could tell you everything you wanted to hear
There would be no Shakespeare left to recite.
But I’ve noticed now
That there is no way I can win this fight.

I have expressed my love for you
Even though it was tough.
It appears that
Even my best is not good enough.
