The Struggle

as night falls
and dark crawls 
up to form an abyss
where every hand turns into a fist
and a small fight
turns into a struggle for life 
to do what is right 
or wait out for morning light
a cry in the night 
sends a shiver of fright 
through out the town
but they pretend there was never a sound

Just a Toy

How can I fix my broken heart
With all these pieces I don't know where to start
Lost all my tears
His infidelity confirming my worst fears
I was never enough 
I wasn't all the stuff
He wanted me to be
So now I see
That I was just a toy
For him to destroy

Just Watch

Sit there and watch the wounds bleed
and see what happened to the seed
that you planted here
that caused the tear
that is rolling down my face
you cant take back what you said
and now my dreams are dead
with the love we had
how did things turn so bad

Dont Judge Me

if you are going to judge me 
judge me for the now 
not the past 
and if youre going to cause a fight 
make sure you can last
because I dont stop for love
because god above
knows its not enough
because times are rough
and im going to be me
and if you can't see
past my mistakes
then you have no right to take my dignity
because i still stand tall
even with my back against the wall

A Year

There's been tears 
We've encountered our greatest fears 
Holidays passed by
You being my best ally
We got stronger
As days got longer
Our family grew
And love was all we really knew
We had issue
Crying and used tissues
But we moved on
All distrust gone
We fall deeper everyday 
Our past left to decay
Because nothing can take us apart
For we are of one heart

Do You Get What You Want

Do you get what you want when I cry
Everytime you say good bye
Every harsh word you say
Pushing me farther away
Making me feel so down
Making my face a constant frown
Your words so vile
Killed my smile
Made it hide
Deep inside
I know you care
But your love is never fair
Showing more each day
Why I should run away
And find a place to stay
Where I'll be okay 
I'll be home then 
I'll never fear you again

Knight In Shining Armor

defend my honor 
gosh im a goner 
have me dreaming more
 like the same things i adore
 giving me hope i had given up
 turning my heart beat up
 with ever little word 
all the hate i had heard 
from the last one 
is gone
 can't wait to look in your eyes
 and no longer see the dispise
 in my love's stare 
so let me dare
 to take a chance
 on a moments glance
 at my knight in shining armor

His Face

words can't replace 
the looks of his face 
the time and place 
of everytime he made my heart race

Life

It's crazy 
But we will make it baby
Through thick and thin
Best friends until the end

Quiet Cry

every night i lay down
and try not to make a sound
as i cry and try 
to figure out why
why im crying 
when hes not even caring
i have the dumbest fear 
because hes not near
i hate and condone
being so alone
