Elissa Maes Poem
THANK YOU GOD FOR LOVE
My love has come to stay
In my heart forever more
And has taken most of my pain away
Making me happier than I've ever been before
He need not say a word at all
To make a smile come upon my face
Looking in his eyes I can't help but fall
It seems with him everything is in place
A future that used to look dire
And destined for nothing but heartache
Has become something to desire;
A love with passion and a bond to never break
His every touch sends me to cloud nine
Every kiss is like the first one
It's hard believing he's all mine
And I often get scared he'll run
I cherish every single moment
I get to spend in his eyes
For I know he must be Heaven sent
... Thank you God for finally hearing my cries.

Elissa Maes Poem
There is a story
I was once told
About the glory
In growing old
I was 15- no longer a child
But too young still
To be running so wild
And chasing that reckless thrill
My daddy and I were fighting
But he sat me down to say
Stop speeding like lightening
You'll miss being a kid someday!!
Chorus:
I'm sorry daddy
I should've listened to you
But I couldn't see
All the pain I was about to go through
I was rushing to be grown
So I could just take flight
Get away from all I'd ever known
Oh daddy I wish you weren't right!!
Verse 2: I was 17 when my niece died
She was only ten
Oh I cried more than I'd ever cried
Wishing I could see her again
Life came at me fast
Cuz that same year I fell in-love
N watched the world fly past
Gave my boundaries a shove
Ya I got my wish to be free
N moved out of state
Took my love with me
And it was so great
But I still am
Chorus x1
Bridge: Now I'm living with only momma at 24
Feeling my heart break
Cuz I can't see you anymore
And realizing I made a mistake
I should've cherished you then
When I had a chance
Should've not waited again
To share another dance!

Elissa Maes Poem
I don't need to close my eyes
To still see your face
Or to feel these butterflies
Coz thinking of you makes my heart race
I can't get out of my head
The feeling of our first kiss
And all the words you said
Have got me thinking this
Chorus: I didn't want to wait tonight
I just wanted you closer to me
But I know it's going to be right
Waiting to make you happy
Even with all the wanting it brings
I know there's something good in store
After all aren't all the best things
Worth waiting for
Verse 2:
I know we've both been broken
And it's always hard to think of
Trying to just be open
To the possibility of love
I'm not making any promises
But I'm not backing down so you know
I don't care what anyone else says
I wanna see where this could go
chorus x1
Bridge:
Who we were back then
Doesn't matter right now
As long as we're not the same again
Things will find their way somehow
Fate is what I believe in
And there's no way to look past
That what's about to begin
Maybe meant to outlast!!
chorus x1

Elissa Maes Poem
Deeper than I've ever cut
I'm tired of these nights alone
But I don't know what
To do to make it on my own
I've tried and tried
To find a way through
Then I cried and cried
Cuz I always miss you
Chorus:
When will that day come
When will I find I'm better off without
Can I not be numb
And still find my own way out
Cuz I'm tired of fighting this rain
Through this storm of ugliness
Right now all I feel is pain
So when will I find my own bliss
Verse 2:
Sure I'm stronger than I used to be
And I've come a long way
But how can I not see
The happiness of that final day
Is fate bringing me closer
Or will it be like it was before
Maybe I'll look back and this will all be a blur
All I know is I don't want to hurt anymore!!
Chorus x2
Bridge:
Tell me when does it end
The pain you caused me
While pretending to be my friend
Now that I've broken away and I'm free
You damaged me deep inside
It's taken a while to mend it
But it's too hard to completely hide
And I will never ever forget

Elissa Maes Poem
A butterfly so beautiful and free
Starts out as a flightless bug
A caterpillar not so pretty
And furry like a rug
The change doesn’t come over night
No it takes many days
But its cocoon wraps it tight
And transforms it in so many ways
We are like these butterflies
Before they have changed
We must let out all our cries
And get help to be rearranged
Like the branch holds the cocoon
We hold onto each other for a while
And it may be just as soon
That the changes, just like butterflies, make us smile.

Elissa Maes Poem
Chorus:
I may crumble, I may break
But I will continue to stand straight
Yeah, you won’t see me move at all
For though I crumble and I break
You will never witness me fall
Verse 1:
Make no mistake
What I speak is the truth
I leave in my wake
The innocence of youth
Ignorance is not tolerated
Stupidity is just ignored
Fact is the only thing stated
Feelings are things to be stored
This pain can’t be released
I will shelter those I know
Yeah, until the day I am deceased
I will not let this go
Chorus x 2
Verse 2:
So let’s see your best shot
I’d like for you to test me
And I’m sure you want to a lot
Then you will finally see
I will not be broken
No matter what you do
Yeah no matter what words are spoken
Or what you try to put me through
I will smile and hold it in
Still standing on solid ground
You can try to reach me within
But I won’t be pushed around
Bridge:
So think about this before
You put effort into my demise
I’ve hurt worse than this before
And you could only see it in my eyes
But that’s only when you look closely
From the outside you can’t tell
No one can really ever see
When I’m making it through hell
chorus x 2

Elissa Maes Poem
Look me in the eyes
Tell me what I mean to you
And a little pain dies
Knowing we'll make it through
I feel the past in me
The scars on my skin
But I wonder if you see
All the scars that are within
Chorus:
I have been cheated
I've been wronged
I've felt defeated
But still gone on
I hide the pain
Cuz I don't want them to know
That all that will remain
Is fear I can't let go
Verse 2:
I feel safest here
Amongst the shadows
So used to being near
The darkness that grows
It overtakes me once in a while
Makes me feel alive
And I can't help but smile
Cuz I know I'll always survive!!!
Chorus x1
Bridge:
I've been beaten
I've been used
All the mistreating
From being abused.
Yet here I stand now
Not showing all the scars
Made it through hell somehow
Now I'm shooting to the stars!!
Chorus x2

Elissa Maes Poem
Woke up this morning
Lying next to you
And without any warning
My feelings grew
Said I'd never believe again
Cuz my heart is still aching
But I didn't know you then
Guess this is the risk I'm taking
Chorus:
I give you the chance
To break me down
Or share this romance
And stick around
I'm letting you hold my heart
And you can set it free
Or break it apart
But I'm hoping you'll just love me!!
Verse 2:
I had walls built so high
Didn't think anyone could scale
Or would even try
But you showed me you wouldn't fail
Even when it really seemed
Like love wouldn't go my way
You became everything I've ever dreamed
And took my breath away!!
chorus x1
Bridge:
My happiness is in your hands
But I'm not at all afraid
Cuz ur the only one who understands
How faith is made
THis isn't only lust
It's so much more
Cuz ur the only one I trust
Will make it so I don't hurt anymore!!
Chorus x1
