Almost There

Why don't you answer me?

All the questions, I've asked.

But no answer is found.

You are clue-less, of how yu feel for me.

People do not realize what you mean too me.

It might seem desperate or that I'm needy, maybe incomplete.

I never knew could feel this way.

Pain.Happiness.Love and Hate.

All in the same place.

All the nights of fear that me and you would never be alive.

It was just like a fairytale in some people's mind.

I would be the princess and you'd be my knight.

You were there by myside when others weren't around.

The second time , a tear came from my eye.

I finally realized.

This is all we will be. A secret.

Before you opened your eyes,

I wiped away these tears of fear, so they wouldn't hit your bare skin.

And put a smile on my face just for the fact that I was where I wanted to be .

In your arms.

Some say you are worthless, But to me you are everything besides that.

Nobody knows what you are worth besides me

For many months. We have fought for eachother.

But we haven't fought for us. We were both there when this started.

It was a hazard from where it began.

Like something caught on fire, waiting to get put out.

We knew, what would happen if we went this far.

Why are you stumbling for , when I'm the one falling off this bridge.

Right now it's February. We can get back to this.

You know, sometime in May. it will finally be done and okay.

Dear Love ,

Dear _____ , 

You make me want to scream into a pillow, 
Just so noone will hear me.
But they see that your "love" is hurting me,
More than you will ever understand.
I have so many things too say,
But I fear that nobody is listening.
I keep hearing the same answer,
Too my questions. 
Someone once told me to ask a different question. 
But what would I have to say?
Everyone wants me too say "I'm done."
But all I want to say "I don't want it to end this way."
Too much feelings, their getting caught up.
I forget the feelings i have.
Until you say one word, then everything pop's up.
I've never fell in love before,
This is as far as I have gotten.
Sometimes I feel like crying but I know that won't get me anywhere.
I've watched you walk away, and wanted to stop you from going.
And I whisper to myself "I love you." softly,
So you wouldn't hear it anyway.
I didn't want to drive you away.
But everytime I want too,
The words just won't come out.
To you it may sound mushy or childishly cute.
You may not believe it so it's better I keep my mouth closed.
Then I try to tell you exactly whats on my mind
Yet I wish to tell you that I'm beginning to
Miss you more with each passing of the day
And that I want to be with you
Come whatever time in May.

Goodbye My Love

I CAN FEEL YOUR HEART BEAT.
I CAN TOUCH YOUR PULSE.
"LUB-DUP, LUB-DUP". 
WE GOT CLOSE.
WAITING FOR CLOSER.
REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU MAY FEEL, 
YOU SHOULD SHOW ME THAT YOU APPRECIATE MY LOVE AS YOU WERE WILLED.
WE KISS, WE TOUCH, AND WE FIGHT.
THEN MAKE UP.
DO THIS OVER AND OVER BUT NO MORE
GAVE YOU MY HEART AND MY SOUL, MY EVERYTHING.
THEN IT WAS GONE ALL IN ONE SECOND.
HOW EVERYBODY WAS ASKING.
WHAT HAPPENED 
HOW’D IT HAPPENEN.
NOW IM ASKIN
WHY DID IT HAPPEN?
THEY WANTED TO SEE US TOGETHER,
HAPPILY EVER AFTER
I WISHED THAT TO 
UNTIL I REALIZED 
THAT’S NOT WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO.
YOU MOVED.
YOU LET OUR LOVE DRIFT.
AND IF DISTANCE MAKES THE HEART GROW FONDER,
THEN LET IT KEEP OUR HEARTS FROM WANDER.
AS I LOOKED IN YOUR EYES.
I SEE THE REAL YOU.
THAT’S IS HINDED INSIDE
AND THAT’S WHY I AM THROUGH
ALL THE TEARS I CRYED FOR YOU,
IT DIDN’T GO THROUGH.
I HATE TO WALK AWAY.
I LOST YOU ANYWAY.
BUT I MUST SAY GOODBYE MY LOVE

Life Line

Not even one last goodbye.
Just gone out of nowhere, out of sight.
Never thought i was blind to see,
That your pain was worse even then,
A smile on your face.
I was stupid not to think of what was going on,
I was wrapped up in all of my problems.
And i forgot about yours after all.
Even the thought of you not being around,
My tears fall and fall.
And i have no clue what to do.
Im lost in a daze not the first of them all.
No man is worth the tears,
Nor worth the time.
If there is a life line.
From now and till then.
I am here, with a shoulder.
So don't leave without a goodbye again.

Just a Boxx

It was just a box.
A orange box
A shoebox. 
Size 4 1/2.
Under my bed it laid.
Gathering dust, until i took it out one day.
I said to myself this is a problem,
This is my only solution.
I filled the box full of paper.
Paper with words that were in between the lines.
They weren't wrote for you, not to read them.
It's not just words on paper but much more then that.
These words are the key to my heart.
You might wanna keep em close.
Closer than you had, like before you know.
I put a card above the many of those papers.
It was two stick figures kissing.
I might write but i can't draw.
But it was the effort that count,
I never got a thank you at all.
I placed a shirt color of blue.
I think it was a large but i don't have a clue.
It kept me warm at night when i was all alone.
It made me think back to when i was with you in your arms.
Notes surrounded all of the other objects.
Within the notes were feelings that you had onced said.
And problems we had dealt with.
Almost everyone was felt with confusion of 
" I don't know how I feel for you.."
On top of all that I sat a pig, a little pink pig.
I'm not sure why though,
Maybe that he wouldn't forget that I'm not just another girl.
This is just a box. A shoebox.
Filled with memories.
Memories I want him to have because I'll never forget them, their in my heart.
So I finally handed my pizza boy his box.

As She Walks Away

Walked into the house found a letter next to the door. 
She said she's tired and don't know what to do anymore.
Thinking to myself this is too much for me.
Why can't she sit and wait a little bit longer for it too be.
It isn't that hard to do.
But then again I'm still confused too.
Conversations, were always in them.
Don't know what to believe.
Rumors come and go as we see.
She says she's ready to give up on me.
She has told me a thousand times or more,
Tht she can't wait forever for me too decide.
But something in me knows,she won't leave my side.
All her silent cries i ignored,
So I wouldn't have to feel them as she did.
God knows I don't mean too hurt her.
What about them hard days on me.
I don't think about hers though,
Or what's on her mind.
I sit here thinking if she will come back too me after this night.
I hated it when she slammed the door.
As she walked away.
My heart cracked into half,
I realized I let the best thing go.
I hope and pray she will come back too me .
I hope she won't forget about me .

Tell Me

Tell me why you can't love me like I do for you.
Tell me why it's ashame for you and me to be.
Tell me why it's such a secret if everybody knows.
Tell me why I'm so stuck on you like gum on a shoe.
Tell me why I cant stop thinking of you even when im mad at you.
Tell me why you give me pain but I still want you to remain.
Tell me why your my favorite way too waist my time.

Tell me if what you say is true that, waiting is the best for us todo.
Tell me if the sideline girls will go away, cause in my vison their not fading away.
Tell me if you want me stay if not I'll be on my way.
Tell me if what you feel is the same or if it's not unfulfilled in some way.

Tell me what to do I'm caught in a daze about you.
Tell me what you want to say and stop holding all that in.

Tell me not to worry , and we'll be happy in the end.

Your Name

I can keep writing your name over and over again,
Your name with hearts around it.
The clock just tickin,it's quarter too three.
Tossin and turnin in my bed.
Cause i can't sleep, got too much on my mind.
Could it be you babe, that has me pondering.
Did you know that everyday is so much more amazing,
It feels like a daydream.
Never thought these feelings would come true,
Now i'm feeling complete and it feels real too.
We had our days of fighting and leaving.
But you always made your way back in,
Right when your smile made my whole weekend.
I place my ear against your chest to hear your heart beat,
And if i'm dreaming, then let me sleep forever in this love melody.
I think he's the one, but where is this comin from.
This is all crazy, the games we be playing.
You pull a card, i'm hoping it's hearts.
I wanna be with you ain't no time to waist,
You put a smile on my face.
And baby time came and took you away,
I thought you were here to stay.

Just Ah Night

To the first kiss. 
To the first touch.
Then all was left, was love.
Never knew it was gonna be you.
 
Ah long night ahead.
Taking picture's and holding your hand.
Sitting on your lap, your arms wrapped around me, tightly.
Our song came on.
We knew we couldn't just be friends, tonight.
I kissed you on forehead.
Asked you if you wanted to leave for a minute.

In the front seat, sitting quietly.
You scooted over,
Then our first kiss met between our lips.
So to the back seat, we moved again.

Kissing on my neck, 
I'm grippin' on your back.
Your shirt came off and that's when it began.
Your lovin' is compared to nothin' .

I fell in love at our first kiss,
Just didn't notice it.
Because I've never found it.
With you baby I think, we could have something like it.
But nothing is perfect, we could fix this.
