The number 2

Two houses is what I call home, with two kitchens and a bed in 2 places I roam, I walk the streets without knowing what’s  next, could it be the worst or maybe be the best, with arguments I hear and the stuff that I see, is everything hidden under an oak tree, with secrets to have and nothing to be told is something that made these places so cold, for I don’t like to argue or scream or shout, but sometimes it’s how my words get out, for I sit late at night, not a sound in reach, for the things I say in my head I will preach, for 2 of everything all of my life, I wonder what it’s like for a husband and a wife, when you get married how do you feel, do you feel as if the world has just gotten real, do u want this person for the rest of your life, or maybe you don’t want a husband or wife, for questions I ask who will answer, like diseases in the world, what causes cancer, with the things I own, and the things I share, I wonder if I get all up in peoples hair, do I bother people I know, but they just don’t let it show, do they know I’m here or just a sound in there ear, with two cars and dogs, the answer lays in the fog, something you mightn’t understand, or maybe you just cant, when you look at the sky and you ask why, you only live a bit, so ask every question with a smile, I can’t tell you this and I can’t tell you that, cause you promised this and I promised that, I miss people that are dead, but I don’t tell anyone cause it’s different in my head, I wish it was one home with one happy family, with one dad one mam and we all live happily, with my sister and my brother, we’re from the same mother, I might not know his father but i know I’m some man’s daughter, for those who choose to leave and those who choose to stay are the people I hope to see everyday, I don’t read this note, cause it’s not something I quote, I leave the thoughts in my head and put my thinking to bed, because when it’s late and night when there is no light, i think and I sit, and I watch and I blink, the more blinks I take, is the more tired I’ll be, but I can’t stop thinking for what’s best for me, do I talk to someone, do I say what I need to, but what’s in my head I don’t want to be in yours too, i cry to myself cause I find comfort all alone, but some days I wish it wasn’t 2 places I called home,

9 lives

9 lives is the most you can live, 1 heart is the most you can give, 

9 lives, 1 love, and to me, you are more then enough, 

I’d choose you a million times over, but I could only choose you 9, I have nine lives to tell you when it’s right, 

I’m sure one minute out of nine could be the right time, 

at least that is what I think, but it only takes 1 second to blink, 

1 second and the person I love most faded away, until my next life sees the light of day, 

at-least I see it that way, 

I hope you do too, but my nine lives don’t matter to you, 

9 lives to live, but only 1 so true, in every moment out of 9, it’s always been you,

Crowded room

You’re all that I see, you everything I want for me. 

I mean that from the bottom of my heart, my heart burns the more time we spend apart, 

behind your gaze, that’s the destination of my daze, 

to see more of you then what you show, to be the only lover you know, 

I mightn’t be everything to you, and maybe you never meant the words “I love you” 

but I did, and I do, in every crowded room all I ever see is you, and only you,

Unfortunate

My best mistake was falling for you, 

I would replay it over and over again, thinking about the time I fell for a friend, 

it was the way we got close, that was what lead me to miss you the most, 

I loved you, and unfortunately I still do, and as much as I wish it wasn’t, 

it’s only unfortunate because I’ll never have you.

Broken

With everything i went through, I always thought my heart was broken, until i met you, and i experienced a love unspoken, falling for you even though it hurts, out of every accident I’ve ever made, I’d never call this the worst, the biggest accident I’ll ever make is waiting on me, it’s the way i felt that i never told you, about how i always thought of what we could be, it will always be you, no matter where my life goes, my heart will think about the love only I know, something so true, something I wanted to know with you, start with you and end with you, care for you in all the ways you never asked me too, but I would do that for you, anytime your around, I find my heart skips a couple of beats, patters and pounces, like jumping on sheets, I’ve never loved someone like you, because I guess I never wanted to, there’s been times where I thought love was here, but I was never certain because it wasn’t clear, but it found me I was wrong, and all I could do was listen to love songs, with every rhythm that came through, made me think of all the things I wanted to say to you, I hope one day, maybe some day soon, I get to tell you how much I love you, from the moment I realised, to the day we say goodbye, I knew I loved you and I never asked why, I never had to, the answer was clear, out of every place in the world, the only place I wanted to be was here, with you, day after day, because there were so many things I wanted to say, but time comes to an end, and it made me realise we will never be anything more then friends, with this love we share that could never be spoken, your the only one whose ever made my heart feel whole, but also broken,

Appear

In the quiet of the night, when your lingered shadow starts to play, I find myself lost in my thought, drifting further away, your laughter repeats in my mind, it’s something so sweet, with ever passing moment, I can hear my heart beat, your company, the one thing that pulls me from the dark, but in this quiet affection, I fear I’ve lost my spark,  with every glance, I loose a piece, a small bit of my soul, but in the warmth of your arms, once again you made me whole, when the room is quiet I wandered through our memories, so pure and true, but the lines of who I am, begin to blur with you, I crave your existence, the comfort of your touch, yet in this broken heart, it’s you I need so much, no matter how much it breaks me, let me lose myself in you, with every whispered sigh, no matter how much it hurts me I’d choose you every time, in the depths of this devotion, there’s a strange feeling of delight, for loving you feels like coming home at night, though pieces of me scatter, like the leaves start to breeze, I’d gather them all together, because you are my hearts ease, in the distance of longing filled with every last bit of hope, I’ll hold you close forever, in loves eternal scope, so here I stand, painted in your grace, and I might be losing me, but I found my rightful place, so here I am where shadows dance an weave, knowing all I truly want is for you love me, in every heart beat, and every frosty breath, it all fills up the space, I might be losing pieces of myself, but I found my saving grace, in this beautiful battle, where I am  home and free, in every lasting life, I choose you to be with me, for you, are what I consider home to be, in the end, it doesn’t matter if I fade into the night, for loving you always felt right, so once more let me lose myself in you, and watch the world fade away, sometime it will take me with it, but in my arms is where you will stay, forever under the stars, when pieces of me start to disappear, but like a magician, around you they re appear,

Lifetime

The world told me to marry the person I love, but the bible told me to love the person I marry, and that’s what I plan to do, marriage is scary, and if it’s not with you I don’t want it, I do plan to tell you one day, I do plan to tell you the things I wanted to say, the way you look at me, the words that you say, can only lead me to want to see you everyday, I can’t explain how I feel, I can tell if it’s real, one thing I know, I love you so, I miss you more then anything, I watch you from afar, because I can’t have you, but I promised to never lose you, even if I had you, if I died tonight I promise to look for you in every lifetime, until death do us apart, you will always have a special place in my heart

Soul tie

soul tie soul tie, that 7 letter word, a blessing sent from heaven, something so heard, invisibly listened to, individuals secretly put as 2, a soul tie makes one, one soul and one heart, a soul love another even when the souls are apart, until death finishes time, until the soul tie unwinds, but your souls are tied, and the tears you cried, because the relationship felt tangled, but with a soul tie it’s all handled, it’s only tangled because of the distance, you hold on to the tie, because everyday you miss it, when your not with your other half, one thing doesn’t sound the same and it’s your laugh, as you watch from afar, you realise the person you are, you can’t laugh the same, and no one is to blame, your heart behind your body, is connected to somebody else, I’ve experienced that for myself, I was never told, it was just there to hold, hold onto so tight, to think about it at night, and as the soul tie crossed my mind, you did too, because I wouldn’t want to experience a soul tie with anyone but you,

Lover

My love will never fade, because I think we both know there’s no expiry date, I’d rather learn your not for me, then sit and watch you leave, I’ve never loved someone how I love you, and right now I don’t think I want to, the person I know you to be, the things you will never say to me, my loves not wasted no matter how long I have waited, I really like you, but you don’t see me that way, I will love you tomorrow just as much as I love you today, I’m not scared to fall in love any more, because if it’s you I’ll have no problem waiting, and you will never have to worry about my love fading, no matter how you feel my arms are always open, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart even if it’s not spoken, I will wait for the day that you want me too, because that is something I would do for you, no matter how much you don’t want me to, I will love you like this and no body else, and that’s something I have always said to myself, you mean the world to me, even if I’m not, you always have and always will be my favourite thought, the things I never got to say but I always meant, in any crowded room, what comes rushing back is your scent, the way you came across on the first day I met you, and the way you still pass my by on the days that I left you, not because I couldn’t see you anymore, but because our time was over, but I’ll wait for the day until I’m your one and only lover,

Forbidden

The thought of losing you haunted me day by day, 

losing you before I said everything I wanted to say, 

I’m scared, 

what if your gone before I tell how much i love you, 

what if there’s no one to make my heart race how you do, 

you can’t get everything you want, I know that, 

but I wished you were an exception, for me to be pushed into your every direction, 

everywhere you go, it’s the places I learn to know, 

off by heart to find you when you leave, to tell you every lingering word I hid up my sleeve, 

I guess they were never hidden, I just couldn’t say the words out loud because I knew we were forbidden, 

I’ll remember your every step, there’s nothing you’ve said to me that I’ve learned to forget, 

though the stars may frown on this love that’s been hidden, I danced with you in every dark corner, even when I knew we were forbidden,
