Untitled

you could at least notice my smile
don't you remember you were the one who got me to see how beautiful it is
but just when i started to feel good, 
be happy, love myself, love you,
you broke away
kind of reminds me a lumber jack that cuts down big trees
you build me up only to let me down

Go Ahead and Take Your Break

Break away my love 
run free
never mind your past
go ahead, determine your own destiny
just like wild horses
escape
go away from captivity
but along this path of finding yourself
remember me
my smile
the way i laugh when nothing is funny
the emotion i expressed
when you kissed me
over and over again

Tears Are More Than Tears When They Are Shed For Love

Tears are more than tears when they are shed for love
Love is more than lost when it is lost for good
No heart can endure what losing takes away 
No cry can shed a tear that soothes a spirit (no not the spirit of lost love)
For to gain is to love and live again
But to lose is to hurt and die a thousand times
A smile is more than happiness when it is brought about by love
But a cry is a painful instance of losing the most important, most overwhelming 
attribute of life (love)

Afraid of Losing What I Don'T

I can’t seem to cry (oh oh oh)
My feelings are absorbed because of my fear
Unable to feel or express what I want to feel
I wander like a refugee
 at once upon a time I was able to control me
Now everything is out of my hands 
Who knows who/what goes on inside of a heart that does not feel
A mind that does not think
Eyes that don’t see clearly and ears that only hear the contrary
Where did I go
My love, my smile
My reason for being
Everything and everyone doesn’t seem to mean as much as they did in the past
I’m afraid to love or trust again 
Because the things I once trusted turned against me
Paper sits there blank
My thoughtless mind is unable to display anything
My weary fingers cannot write, not even what I want to feel or think
I walk away from manner ignoring what I really want because I’m afraid of losing 
what I don’t

Remembering Us

break away my child
run free
never mind your past
go ahead, determine your own destiny
just like wild horses
escape
go away from captivity
but along this path of finding yourself
remember me
my smile, the way I laughed
when nothing was funny
the emotion i expressed when you kissed me over and over again

Untitled

There are times when I can sense your presence 
But in reality you’re not there
And then there are times when I can feel your touch, taste your kisses, and smell 
your scent
I awaken in tears; pillows drenched, because my dreams are so real
Unable to conquer my own feelings, you continually cross my mind
Thoughts of you, the good and the bad
There are even times that I want to ask God for another chance, but how could I 
when you deliberately hurt me

Afraid of Losing What I Don'T

I can't seem to cry (oh oh)
my feelings are absorbed by my fear
Unable to feel or express what i wan to feel
I wonder like a refugee
at once upon a time i was in control of me
now everything is out of my hands
Who knows who/what goes on inside of a heart that does not feel
a mind that does not think
eyes that don't see clearly and ears that only hear the contrary
where did i go
my love, my smile
my reason for being
everything and everyone doesn't seem to matter as much as they did in the past
I'm afraid to love or trust again
because the things i once trusted turned against me
paper remains blank
my thoughtless mind is unable to display anything
my weary fingers cannot write not even what i want to feel or think
I walk away from manner
ignoring what i really want 
because i'm afraid of losing what i don't

Hate You

I hate you
 that's what i really want to say
becasue i'm worried i wasted your time
i'm worried that i pushed you away
it didn't take lies to make me love you
i would have accepted you as you are
 it only takes love keep us together
so why are we so far apart
i hate you that's what i really want to say 
becasue you loved me temporarily 
you only took half of my pain away
perfecting me inside
causing my outer beauty to glow
I'm devastated, i hate you, and yes I want you to knw
