Light

Still is the night
Quiet genteel light
Shin down on me
Don’t diminish and abandon me.
I don’t wish to be alone
Darkness please leave me be
I do not want nor do I need you.
But light, sweet white light
Warm my cold with your glow
Without you I feel alone.
Oh dear light
I can see you growing dim
Please stay dear light
I need you with me
But no you can’t
You must leave like everyone else
And I alone
In still and quiet
Darkness and dread.

Kemmick

This pain I feel is unbearable 
I feel as though I am slipping into darkness 
I want you so bad, it is killing me 
This yearning, burning desire that is like fire 
Scorches my soul to blackened ashes 
The need to hold you close 
Over powers the thought of letting you go 
Can you see my torment? 
I try to keep it hidden within 
Yet I feel as though I may be failing 
Do you feel as I do? 
No, I do not believe that you do 
There is so much life flowing within you 
Yet beyond the happy smile, jokes, and laughs 
I sense sadness within you that you cannot let pass 
I sit here and imagine us happy together 
But then reality kicks in and I imagine you with another 
I wish that could be me you hold in your embrace 
I yearn to feel the warmth that you can provide 
Alas, not all wishes come true 
So I will shut my eyes and dream of you 
If only things were different 
Then maybe you and I could be 
But I will pretend nothing is wrong 
And be the friend you want and need

When Sorry Is Not Enough

What do you do when sorry is not enough? 
Lost for words and trapped 
Trapped in the misery you’ve made yourself 
Unable to change what was said 
But not knowing how to fix the mistakes 
And words 
Words just aren’t there 
Not there to show the pain and remorse 
Regrets or hurting him 
Him this person that you love 
And there is no walking away 
Away to let it fix itself 
An impossible concept of the hopeful 
The anger and lack of forgiveness is hard to bare 
In your head all you can think is 
I did this
You sit and you cry, lost in time 
The weight of u guilt pressing down on you 
Wanting to hear him say 
Everything is ok 
But knowing it won’t come, not what you deserve 
Loving, loving so much it hurts 
And knowing you’ve brought things to ruins 
So, what do you do when sorry is not enough 
And it seems everything is at its end 
When comforts not in his arms 
And you can’t see a way to fix it and apologize 
To say “Baby I love you” 
And have it be ok. 
But all there is to say is “Sorry” 
Turn away and cry.

Thoughts of a Teenage Mind

So what if I'm not as you expected!
I'm different, I'm not like you.
Is this a reason for me to be neglected?
I do my own thing; to me this world is new.
My thoughts and opinions are not to your liking,
But I love how I am.
I know you find my personality shocking,
But I'm only human.
I don't want to conform;
I like to stand out
On this I stand stern,
"To be an individual!" I shout,
But you try to tie me down,
Clip my wings, so I cannot fly.
If I conform, all you'll see is my frown.
I feel smothered, like I will die.

So what if I'm different!
Love me for who I am!
You do know that 'm God sent,
But I feel as though my life is sham.
I'm not going to change to please you!
You say I rebel,
But is this really true?
"Sometimes my life feels like a living Hell!"
Whatever my crime,
I refuse to change.
I would much rather serve my time,
I simply refuse to listen to a word you say!
You just have to deal
Take me as I am, or leave me alone.
I have the time to kill
As you sit there deciding on how to make me your clone,
But I am what I am,
And I'm comfortable with being me,
I hate living this shame!
Loving myself, now that's the true key.

As Summer Ends

He holds her hand
As they sit in the sand
Talking of a future they’ll never have.
Wishful thinking
Endless dreaming
Summer’s near an end.
And as it passes
Dreams slip away like molasses
Leaving all he wished would be
Now she’s gone
And he’s all alone
What happened to that summer
Where dreams seemed so real
Things tend to change
No matter how you wish they remain the same
But he can’t help thinking
Of the girl that left him dreaming.

Empty

The gaping hole you left in my heart
When you went away seems to tear away at my soul. 
Without your warmth
The world seems to darken and diminish.
Everything looks oblique 
Until the moment you return 
And wash away all that seemed to make me forlorn.

Lonely Girl

She sits alone in her room 
This pretty little girl with no one to love 
Tears run swiftly down her cheeks 
They show anger, frustration 
And now she feels weak 
She lays there and thinks about life 
Feeling stricken with nothing but pain and strife 
People talk behind her back 
Leaving her helpless and draining her soul 
But not a word she utters 
No emotion does she show 
Until she gets to her room 
Nothing but a pillow to hold 
She thinks of ways to end the pain 
But knows that it just can't be her end 
She hides away in her books instead 
Letting the happy endings sweep her away 
She drifts along caught in her stories 
Hoping that one day Prince Charming will come through 
"Foolish" she thinks to herself, 
"Prince Charming is only a fairy tale 
And wishes weren't made for you" 
This girl feels no hope 
No out to the things that make her sick 
She's alone in her room 
Crying with her nose in a book

Yesterday

Where did our yesterdays go?
I wish we could go back there
To where our love would flow
And hold hands without despair
Because yesterday you loved me
But today you just smirk
I gave you the key to my heart
All you gave me was hurt
Yesterday was perfect
Everything was so right
Today I'm a wreck
And all we can seem to do is fight
Yesterday we kissed
And you told me you care
Today you are missed
I wish you'd come around but you wouldn't dare
Yesterday the nights were warm and bright
Asleep with my pillow and you in my mind
Today it's dark and I can't find the light
Everything is black and I'm falling behind
Today I have to keep myself busy
And avoid letting my thoughts drift away
Trying to resist misery
But at least I'll always have yesterday

Hurt

Our love is a dying ember,
And I sit here as I remember
All of the happy bliss.
I can't help the regretting,
But there is no forgetting
Of all the things I'm going to miss.
I have to close the book on this chapter
No "happily ever after"
For heroes truly don't exist.
I'm sitting here dying, unable to stop the crying,
And all I'm doing is trying
To figure out why you'd hurt me like this.

Sorrow

I cried today Love
Tears of hurt and pain
Your anger sears my heart
And scorches my soul.
In my own desperation
I long to hear you tell me it’s alright.
I begin to feel bitter,
Bitter of the helplessness I feel without you.
My love for you is overwhelming
These feelings I have for you scare me.
You are the only one that holds my heart,
It is yours to bend, break, and manipulate.
I am weak without you,
I feel empty and incomplete.
I want us to be happy.
You and I wrapped in a warm embrace
Nothing but the stars to cover us
And your soft whisper in my ear.
Your anger is killing me inside
And for theses reasons I laid down and cried.
