Insecure Securities

You make me feel like
I'm good enough,
I'm strong enough,
We'll make it through.

I don't want this to end,
Maybe that's why I'm
So scared, I don't need
Another to tell me they
Love me, they'll never leave,
I need someone who will prove
That they're worth my trust,
Can you be that one?

I want to believe so I do,
Prove to me I'm not just
Making a mistake, putting
My heart out there again.

I know that if you left
My heart would be back
To being in pieces, bleeding
Out onto the cold cement,
Like a dying rose on the side
Of a lonely highway.

But if you stayed, if you could
See past my strangeness and
Neediness, I could be the one
For you, my love is forever.

This might not be perfect but
I do believe it's perfect enough,
You're the one I've been waiting
All my life for, please, I beg you,
Don't let me down...

Maybe, Maybe Not

Sometimes it's hard not to think
That maybe this isn't forever,
You'll walk away into the sunset
And never look back.

Do you miss me when you're
Away and do you love me
As much as you say? I can't
Help but to think.

Is there anything you want
To say to me, anything you
Need of me so I can believe
That you won't go, you'll stay?

I'm messed up but still
You say you love me,
I'm insecure, sometimes
Worthless but yet - 

Am I good enough for you?
Am I enough? when you're
Gone I can't sleep I miss you so,
Do you feel the same?

I want to believe but I'm
Afraid, don't say you'll never
Let go, I've heard it and been
Burned by it, before.

Just say what your eyes
Are begging to let out, 
Say you miss me and 
Maybe I'll be okay....

You Let Me Down

I waited every day

Hoping to see your face,

But I never saw it again.



You were supposed to

Be there for me, you were

Supposed to love me.



Momma, what did I

Do wrong? Why didn't

You love me anymore?



You left me with strangers,

Walked away from me

When I needed you to stay.



You let me down

In the worst possible way,

It hurt so much.



Even now my beating heart

Still breaks when I think

Back on those days.



Those days when I waited

To see your face just one

More time but never did.



Those days when I wished

You were her, hugging me,

Telling me she loved me.



But it's over now and I'm

Doing okay, I swear that

I will never be just like you.



You who chose her drugs

And alcohol over the one

Thing you should've chosen.



But it's too late for regrets,

And it's funny, after all this

Time, I can't seem to hate you...

Wake the Dead

The demons scream inside my head
Trying to wake the dead,
But the dead cannot hear
For they have eyes, but no ears.

Their voices vibrate in the air
Blending to become a nightmare,
A nightmare of dark desires
That flare up, like a fire.

Scream,scream,scream,scream,scream,
I wish this was all just a bad dream,
The echoes pound in my head
And I'm afraid they might wake the dead.

Moving On

I’m starting over again,
Feeling alive instead of dead,
I’ve made mistakes, who hasn’t,
But giving you my heart was the biggest.

Times were tough but
We had it all, didn’t we honey,
But the day you threw me away like
I was garbage I closed the door to my heart.

I’ll never be that girl again,
So fragile, so weak, so afraid of
Love, I’m facing my demons and I’m
Wading through the past, trying to find myself.

My heart was wearing
Thin but now I’m stronger,
You’re nothing but a stranger now,
And I’m moving on from the days when you were mine.

And maybe one day
You’ll look back and realize
I was the best thing in your dirty,
Miserable life and the mistake was letting me go.

But maybe not, it’s really
No longer my concern, you’ve
Turned your back a long time ago,
Now it’s time for me to walk away, alone.

I wanted you to stay,
I was in love with you but
Sometimes the thing you want
Isn’t always the thing you need, I know now.

Just tell me one thing,
Tell me if I ever meant any
Thing to you at all, even just once,
Damn, there I go getting all weak again.

You left a hole inside me
But slowly he’s the one who’s
Filling it with all the love and kindness
One can possess in this condemned world.

So now there’s you and
Now there’s him and I, but
No matter what you’ll always be
The first Love who broke my heart in the worst way....

The Transition

The darkness was my Savior,
The blood was my wine,
Wings chained down and painted
Black, I couldn't fly.

I couldn't breathe, a hollowness
Lay in my chest, cold, unfeeling, I
Lashed out in anger, wanting to feel
More than pain.

Scars shadowed my heart and
Blinded my eyes, thought it didn't matter
So I reached for the blade and
Scarred my wrist.

But still I kept on, still I held
Hope there was more than this,
More than the pain of the Past and Present,
Still I searched.

My heart finally broke one too
Many times and I was about to
Give up on finding real Love,
When I met you.

I spent my life praying to a God
Who showed me the waiting and 
The tears were worth it, the heartbreaks 
And disappointments.

I've been afraid, not because I'm
Afraid you're like the others but afraid
I won't be good enough, afraid this is a dream and
I'll wake without you.

But I don't want to be afraid anymore,
So unlock my chains and help me fly,
I'll carry you with me, I promise you, I'm here to stay,
Always and Forever...

A Student's Curiosity

Do words simply flow into one's brain
Like a river does,
Never stopping, never ending?
Is the sun simply there to burn bright, 
A flaming ball in space,
Or does it have a purpose unknown?
Is the darkness something to be afraid of, 
Tainted and evil,
Or have we created that fear within ourselves?
Is there really a God worth believing in, 
A Supernatural power,
Or is it just a luxurious comfort one wants to believe in?
Is there such a thing as true evil, 
Right from birth,
Or is it that evil is the world we've created?
Is racism and prejudice based on ideaologies, 
Ethnocentricity, superiority,
Something unable to change, something that makes us human?
Can one individual really make a difference, 
Change people's minds,
Or are we all doomed to go along with the flow of our ancestors' past?
Is there another universe with a planet like ours, 
Among the stars,
But a Utopia instead of filth and ruin?
If there is and we find it 
In the future, what'll 
Happen, I wonder?
I doubt we would change our ways of living,
So I hope we don't find it for, 
Surely we would destroy it...

Overcoming the Pain

In my life you crept
And in my bed you slept,
Why hadn't I seen 
What would have been?

I regretted every night
When your words would bite,
Cried myself to sleep,
Cut scars in too deep.

Wrote your name a million times,
Read over all your crimes,
The bullet you shot in my heart
Was only one of many you tore apart.

Death sweetly called my name,
For you I took the blame,
Then realized I couldn't any longer
And found that I was stronger...

I Promise

When you're down I'll hold you
Until you feel better,
I'll never let you go even if
The world crashes around us.

You are my calm in the storm,
You are my balance,
The very air I breathe,
You are my universe.

Nothing can outshine you,
Neither stars nor moon,
I'll always be here for you,
Just tell me I'm needed.

Raging

You were a lesson to be learned 
And I was the one who got burned,
I guess when it's the end it's the f******g end.

So I hope you choke on the words you screamed
Out, cursing my name when I didn't let you go
'Cause it turns out my Love was wasted on you.

I'm trying not to hate but it's so damn hard
When everything we had meant nothing to you
But it was everything to me.

My eyes burn from all the tears that leak out
From time to time, my heart breaks just a little
When I remember how you walked away.

Some day I'll find someone better,
Someone who knows what they have and
Doesn't take advantage of my Love like you did.

Someone who won't try to use me,
Who will Love me for who I am and doesn't
Talk behind my back about things that aren't even true.

Maybe it wasn't meant to be, maybe I was 
Kidding myself, wanting to believe you Loved me,
But whatever it was, I hope you know, you're dead to me now.

Revenge is the sweetest dish ever concocted,
And maybe it's not right but it sure feels
Damn amazing, more than you made me feel. 

So this is the last time I go through this,
It's time to live my life without your ghost
Haunting me all the time, without the memories.

I'm better off without you, it's true,
Even if you were all I ever wanted, thought I needed,
It wouldn't have worked, no matter how we tried.

Don't say you Loved me, you wouldn't
Have walked away so damn easily if you had,
Wouldn't have left me with all this anger and pain.

Sad thing is though, I know when I wake up in the morning
And fall asleep at night, your sleeping image in the morning sun
Will come to mind, arms wrapped tight around me.

And I can't seem to shake this sadness,
Although my dreams aren't filled with you anymore,
But sometimes I swear I can still feel you, here, holding me, and I cry.

I remember how you would whisper
Sweet and low in my ear, that you loved me,
You'd never let me go, you'd always be here, but those were lies.

As I lied to you about letting you go if asked,
But then you countered with another lie, that you'd
Never ask, but here we are, in this chasm of dark goodbyes.

You turned your back when I needed you most,
You couldn't even act like a man when you left, just
Gave me a message saying it was over and went back to her.

I think that was the worst, that you ended it so
Suddenly, so easily, and went crawling back to the girl
You broke up with for me, but I suppose that's how it goes...
