A Broken Lover

People look her way
But they don’t understand
No one knows the pain she’s felt
The tears she’s cried
And the life that has died.

There was once a time
When the love was alive
The tears never came 
And the smile never faded

The girl up above was the one who knew to love 
The one who’s heart and smile was free 
The one who used to believe in her dreams

Now that girl is gone 
Replaced by one who slowly fades away 
Destined to walk her own death 
Fading to a broken lovers grave.

Walking as if the life was gone
Speaking to a ghost of her past
Screaming to be free 
And wanting to believe again.

Will the life longed for 
Ever be relived?
Will the love she searches for 
Ever be received ?

Or is a broken lover…
 all she has come to be?

Crying So Hard I Was Screaming

I cried so hard I wanted to scream 
Your memory still brings bleeding tears to my cheeks
The thoughts of you, me, and us are killing me
Why cant the pain inside just be a bad dream.
I want to wake up in your loving arms 
But my eyes are closed by the tears of my heart.
Everything around me is crashing down
There’s nothing left for me to do but drown
I want to call your name with my last breath
But I’m screaming so loud that my breath is dead 

I was screaming so loud that I wanted to cry
I knew everything was over the moment u left my side
Hold me and tell me everything will be fine
Otherwise, blow out the flame that burns for you
And bury my heart in the deepest grave
Let me drown in a sea of bloody tears 
With the sound of my screams ringing through your ears.
Maybe then you’ll know that my love was real.

I’m screaming so loud that I’m crying 
And I’m crying so hard that I’m screaming
There’s nothing that can ever make this feeling subside.

A Broken Farewell

Take a dagger to my heart
And let me die with grace.
Don't let me wake from a murderous sleep.
Just take me away from this place.
Let my love for you slowly burn away...
Let the fear of the unknown disappear.
Bury me in the deepest grave,
And keep me from the world.
Remember that i loved with all my heart,
And in the end... it tore me apart.

Reaching Through the Rain

She stands on her porch 
As she watches the rain
Feeling the tears stream down her face.
Showing all her pain.

This can't be happening 
She sits and thinks .
Everything was perfect 
Nothing needed to change. 

Always and Forever 
Is the promise they once made,
But forever turns to never...
When your world stops dead in place.

It's all my fault 
She repeats in her head.
I shouldn't have argued 
With what he said.

But how was I to know 
That he would soon be dead.

Never again will he walk these steps
To greet her with a smile 
That she'll never forget.

No more kisses in the park,
Holding hands, 
Or touching each others hearts.

Valentines Day will come and go 
As her lonely heart turns cold.
Her anniversary she will dread
Because it will remind her of his end.

Never again will her heart sing 
Because he's in a place she can't reach.
The wound he left will never heal,
But it will slowly disappear.

I'll never forget you
She repeats,
But everyone knows
Her passion will become weak.

As the rain stops pouring,
And the sun shines through 
She feels him with her,
And knows she'll make it through.

Betrayed But Free

Sitting alone in the dark
She thinks of him in her heart.

She looks to the sky way up above,
And prays for the pain to stop.

Never once questioning the lies
Now all she wants to do is cry.

She hoped for something that was never there,
And now she feels nothing but complete despair.

Maybe one day he'll look at her and see
He's the one who lost,

And she's the one who's free.

Moving On From My Past

slowly falling into an abyss
gently drifting with the wind.
looking into another eyes...
leaving what i once knew so well behind.
taking one step further
means taking two steps back.
never letting go of whats in my heart
forever wanting you to hold me close.
mothing makes sense to me anymore.
i miss you with all my heart.

Crashing Down

Crashing down all around me 
There’s nothing I can do 
Everything I once felt 
Is now slowly bleeding through
I can’t see anything anymore
I’m blinded by the pain
No longer can he hear my cries 
Because I’m screaming inside. 
I want to tell him I’ll never let go 
But my breath is getting weak. 
Why can’t we be together again?
Why can’t I be free?
I want him to hold me and never let me go. 
Why can’t he see this pain killing me?
Why  won’t he tell me what I want to know?
I sit and watch as forever ends. 
Watching him disappear. 
There’s so much I want to tell him 
But I know I need to stand clear.
I’m falling to an abyss of pain 
As my life crashes all around.
And there’s nothing I can do 
But let it bring me down.

The Perfect

“How are you?”, he says
“I’m fine”, she replies
“I haven’t heard from you”
“I know,  I haven’t had time”

Once inseparable
With nothing in the way 
Always and forever 
Is the promise they once made.

He looks at her 
And sees her pain.
She looks at him 
And feels his grief.

It wasn’t supposed to end this way.
They knew they were meant to be.
So then why did it happen,
Why did they just split?

He says it was family,
She says it was life;
But deep down they both know
Their decision wasn’t right.

Now they try to be friends
But it all seems so weird.
He loves her more than ever, 
And she loves him still.

He denies his feelings, 
She hides hers;
But through the cracks 
Will be an open door.

Three simple words 
Is all one needs to say 
To make the other come back 
And make yesterday today.

They were the perfect couple 
With timeless love in their hands
But they  became the perfect split 
When forever disappeared in the mist.

Trapped

She hides his memory
Like it’s a big secret.

No longer wanting to see him
But capable of hearing him.

She hears him say he loves her
And swears he always will.

Then she feels the pain,
And allthe world stands still.

One broken heart and one broken dream
Is all he left her with.

Now she hears him in her head,
And she’s unable to forget.
