Sleep Evasion

Sleep evades me tonight. 
Tears are fighting to be set free. 
I am stuck in an endless battle. 

My eye's burn with white hot liquid. 
My heart aches for comfort. 
Someone to tell me, I'll make it through. 

But my pride stops me. 
The words die on my tongue.
I keep the pain to myself.

I let it out when no one is around to hear.
My sobs echo in empty rooms. 
I hold myself together with hope. 

Sleep evades me tonight.
Tears are fighting to be set free.
I am stuck in an endless battle. 

Please set me free.

No Where Else

Your calling my name once again. 
My heart flutters with excitement. 
You got me where you want me. 
The butterfly's in my stomach are trying to burst out. 

My body reacts to you. 
I have no idea why. 
But every time your around 
My heart skips a beat. 

Your gaze lights me on fire. 
My voice grows weak. 
You have me backed against a wall. 
There's no where else I'd rather be.

My Suicidal Refuge

The pain in my chest wont stop pounding.
My salty tears wont cease to flow from my blue eyes. 
I get cut by a razor every time some one tells me the truth.
Yet here I am, once again seeking refuge in your arms. 

It's crazy to think I keep running back to you.
Maybe every one is right and I am just a child. 
Could they be right about me and you?
I hope for my heart they are not. 

They say your a liar, you wont leave her. 
Especially for me they say, and I can tell what they mean.
I'm no where near as good as her. 
I just hope you can see that I would give anything to you. 

The pain and tears would all be worth it in the end. 
If I could only win you over. 
Battle scars left on my pale skin wouldn't matter,
if you were there to kiss them. 

This isn't some fairy tale, I can read from a book.
Its dirty reality where I'm on the front line. 
How I wish I could be the one, who you belonged to. 
Instead here I am fighting behind the scene for your love.

Insanity

You say you want me to be free,
but really you just don't want me. 

Now i'm drowning in my pain,
standing in the pouring rain. 

How this fell apart is such a shame.
You made this in to some game. 

You were just in it because you had some thing to gain.
Your lies are driving me insane.

The Hidden Side of Love

Love
                    Hopeful, Hurtful
             Exposing, Hiding, Changing 
             Secrets hidden by emotion.
                             Lies

My Heart On a String.

My heart is waiting for the day, 
when you choose her over me. 

It knows it's going to fall,
                          
                                     crash,

                                               break, 

                                                          and 

                                                                 shatter. 


Even on this soft carpet floor.

Secret Lovers

theres some thing in the air
a current of static electricity 
every time we touch 

when we kiss
i feel it course through my veins 
why this happens
i do not know

it could be the love i feel
but maybe its the darker side
the secret we hide

its an addiction i know 
but i cant let you go

Cramps

Cringing in pain
Ruining my day 
Absolutely awful 
Moaning 
PMS
Snap its that time again.

Springs Gentle Breeze

The grass is green
The wind blows lightly through my hair, 
as we hold hands.

You Can'T Hide Me Forever.

im the secret you have to hide
for now
she still has her claim on you but not 
for long

i wont give up till you 
are mine
i wont stop trying to love you till we 
are together
