Words Can Hurt

I always heard the saying that
sticks and stones 
may break my bones
but words will never hurt
but I learned long ago that 
it was all a lie
because words do hurt
well at least your words did
they cut me like a knife
deep down in my soul
they hurt the most 
because they came from you
every single thing you have ever called me
I will never forget
I cant ever forget
it wont go away
its lingering inside my head
it hits me every night
I sit in the dark
thinking of you
thinking of how that hurt me so much
but it was just a word
yea thats true
its the way i took it
I took it hard
my tears are silent
and those are the worse kind of tears
I only do it at night
every night
but you wouldnt know
I am hurting deep down inside
but you still wouldnt know
you can ask me all you want
my answer will always be
im okay
you just dont understand me
so why would i tell you
now I realize
that i am nothing you call me
I am more than that
but why does it hurt so much
maybe its because it came from you
a person I love so much
a person that i never thought would say it
but you did now 
I cant seem to let it go
it will always be with me
I feel so less of myself
but I will get over it
words really do hurt
especially when they came from you...

The Perfect Girl

What is the perfect girl?
I always heard the saying
there is no one perfect in what we call this world
but truth is
there is a such thing called the perfect girl
she is the girl who accepts you for who you really are
she is the girl who knows your past and accepts it
she is the girl who knows how many times your heart
has been broken and she is willing to try
she is the girl who knows all the right things to say to you
when your mad
she is the girl who makes you smile for no apparent reason
she is the girl who knows your weakest and strongest points
she is the girl that you can trust a hundred percent
she is the girl who doesn't care about all the other girls you dated
she doesn't care because maybe they were perfect
but they were perfect for you
she is the girl who is going to stay by your side
no matter what
she is the girl who fell in love with you
but I guess I was wrong
because your too busy looking at the past
your focused on the future
Instead of whats in front of you
the good ones always get hurt
but at times they are stupid
because they are focused on that one that hurt them
somewhere out there is the perfect girl
but you will deny her
because your afraid
your afraid to start over again
so you will never know her
you will dream of her
but your dream has already came true
you will wait for her
but truth is
she is not coming back
you waited to long
she moved on
you should too
maybe you will meet someone half as good as her
but chances are
not likely
because there is someone out there for everyone
maybe she was your one
she will forever be that
perfect girl that you never knew

The Perfect Guy

The Perfect Guy
Every girl fantasizes about what the perfect guy would be like
would it be like the movie enchanting
or would it be like a Cinderella story
as a child you would dream about this
you was the one always saying
that's going to happen to me one day
but as you got older
you eventually experienced your first heart break
so you knew it wasn't true
you thought he was perfect
he was special
he was the one
everything was good at first
until you had that first argument
you thought it would be the first and last one
but it wasn't
now you found yourself crying more and more
so you ended it
because it wasn't suppose to be like that
the perfect guy wont hurt you
he"ll hate to see so much as you crying
he can tell whats wrong with you
just by looking at you
he doesn't like to be away from you
your always on his mind
the perfect guy knows every little detail about you
and he still cares
he loves you for who you are
he loves your personality
he loves your smile
he loves the way you laugh
he loves the little things you do to put a smile on his face
he loves to hear you talk
he wants to hear your voice
he knows all the right things to say
he tells you that your the most beautiful girl that he has ever seen
but ti him its not always about the looks
its whats in the heart that matters
he loves you because his heart tells him so
he loves you because its something about you
that he has never felt before
he loves you because your the one he feel in love with
the perfect guy will always be there
no matter what
the perfect guy could be standing right in front of you
but your to blind to see it
he could even be your best friend
but no that's wrong
that will ruin your friendship
but why?
he knows everything about you
you can tell him anything
you love to be around him
he is what i described as perfect
have you not caught on yet
once in your lifetime you have thought about this
you and your best friend
yea that's funny
that's a good joke
but its true
you may say there is nothing more to us
were just friends
are you sure?

You Are Mine

You are mine
I am yours
but what does that really mean?
I say your mine because I can tell you anything and everything
I feel comfortable around you
I feel safe
 I feel complete with you
Its like your my other half
you know everything about me
what makes me smile?
what makes me cry?
who I really am?
you know the other side of me
the worse side of me
but yet you still there
well you say you care about me
you showed me that I can trust you
you showed me how to love you
not only that you proved to me what love really is
I see the good in you
the sweet side of you
I like that side
I see the who you really are
when everyone else doesn't
who is to say that Im the perfect girl for you
who knows what the future will bring
I know this is how I really feel about you
hopefully you feel the same way I do
I am yours forever more
you are mine for eternity
