Love Is.

They say that love is kind
That love is pure and hard to find
Well its true 
I thought i found my lover

But now im not sure
He treats me like a women should
and yet there’s something that tells me to leave
is it my heart telling me not to trust

Or is it my heart
They say Love is happy
That Love is not self-seeking
but i don't know what to think

I think I love him
but it seems as if he's changed
is it wrong to feel the way i do
to still have my doubts

though the ring around my finger 
bounds me to him
I fear that what they say is just a bunch of lies
i see it in his eyes

he's hiding something from me
they say Love is trusting
well so far i have
and yet for so many nights i wonder

did i make the right chose
I do love him
for my heart stops when he’s not around
and yet the though of death

it seems so nice
confusion hurts
it really is like a shinning knife
that cuts so deep and yet i contunie to think of it

Im not really sure what love is
i just know that love should never hurt they it is
so to my lover i say again I love you
But in my head all I say is i should have known better

Unknown Love

Day by day I think of him
I see him in the morning
I see him in the night
I even see him in my dreams

What can I do?
Day by day I ask this question
And every time I just sit and doing nothing
Confusing thoughts

To keep him close 
Or push away 
The ring upon my finger holds me close
And yet my heart is pushing away

Not sure what do 
Is this the love I’ve dreamed of?
Or could this just be an illusion
A way to forget the pain

Who really knows? 
Sure not me
Could there be some one, something to tell me
Is there a book on love?

No, of course not that would make life easy
If life was easy it would be boring
Who knows, the way I see it we live in trial and error
The only way it seems to work

I really don't know how I feel
I think I love him 
But I'm not sure if its love or just a want to belong
Who knows?

Yet day by day my heart breaks more 
The pain of the world and the hate in every day life tears it more
The world full of fear and hate
Everyone afraid to get close to someone
Windings up alone in fear of getting hurt

I Tried, I Cried, I Died Inside

What I thought was love
Only became more heart ache
The ring I waited to wear
A symbol of what could have been

Could it be im foolish, and undeserving?
If only I knew
Right now im down to nothing
Does he still love me, or did I fail him

I don't know
I've tried to be strong, I've tired to trust,
And once again I’ve been hurt
He told me he was different

But I should have known better
They’re all the same, and they don't seem to care
I've tried making it work
But now I just feel like giving up

My heart is pounding, and it hurts
My thoughts are racing saying
"Give up", "No stay"
I'm so confused

And it hurts so bad,
I want to put my pain to an end
But I don't know how

Hated Doubt

I have my doubt and I hate it.
 To doubt is a sin,
 a sin of which is the worst of them all.
 You own my heart and you treasure it like a precious Jem that you have earned. 
I love you because you stole my heart and made it whole. 
Yet I have a thin line of doubt in the back of my mind. 
In this doubt it tells me you too good to be true.
 You are a light so rare and so beautiful you make every moment of life worth 
living. 
You are the fire within my soul, you made me feel alive. 
No matter what happens, 
this light and this fire will NEVER die. 
I won’t let it fade and I hope you never do either.
 Long live LOVE,
 JOY,
 and HAPPINESS. 
Forever FREE!!!!!!

My Love Not Meant To Be.

My love for you I hold true
my feeling lost or confused
Not sure which one to hear
My thoughts so dark

My mind full of doubt
My heart covered my walls once more
For them to fall I must fall
Let all defenses fail

Let my heart protect it's self
To see my self looking at you 
Only confusion fills my mind

My heart and soul
They bleed pain
Confusion, Hate
I fear my self and my heart

My mind does not even know
What is possible
If I show the world my love

They'll turn in despair
My only hope no is to run

Run form those like you 
Of whom I Love
My heart is lost 

No help for me
Only pain
Confusion takes over
No more free will
Overprotected by my heart

What else to think 
But no love for me

Is He Really the One?

Is he really the one?
The one my heart belongs to
Or is my heart leaning for another
Im trying to trust but it seems I can't

Is he really the one?
The one who shows me how love feels
Is this what I really want?
Im trying to figure this out but its hard

Is he really the one I want?
The one I want to marry
I'm not sure; all I know is im confused
My mind is racing; my heart is tearing in two

Now the only thing I can ask
Is he really the one?
The one I love, the one I can't be without
Is he the one my heart calls to

All I know is I’m once again
Full of doubt, confusion and pain
I don't know why though
Could all this be because of him?

Did he really show me how?
To act, how to feel and how
To think when the world is against me?

I really have no idea how to feel
How to think or how to act
Won’t some one please tell me?

The One!

He is the one
The one I love 
 They one to be with
The one to make me smile
The one who fills me with the most joy
The one who won’t let any thing happen to me
The one who cares 
The one I write about
He is the one I want
The one I can have
He is the only one
The one to love

Hope, Faith, Trust

In life you have to have faith and hope. 
If you don’t have faith in your self and in others you wont go far. 
Life is also about trust.
 If you trust your self and others you have faith, and if you have faith you have hope.
Everyone should have hope, maybe for them selves or for others.
Caring for others gives others hope.

Unknown Thoughts

So much goes through my mind
From death, love to hate and pain.
Not sure if it's all about me
Or if it's just simply the way i see it

     I can't help but think of the past.
All the heartbreaks, all the family issues
That I’ve had in the past. 
I don't know what to do or how to act

     With my Father never there and stuck with mom
Always disappointing the family with all of my problems
Having disabilities that interfere with my life
Been going to therapy since I was three

     Now I’m older, and yet still have problems
I have a dad that's always there and doesn't act like a jackass
My life doesn't seem as hard

       Though it is, and now I’m in high school
The hard times have just begun
Yet from all the hard things I’ve faced in life
They only make me stronger

      No pain ever hurts me for I’ve felt it all
From feeling worthless and good for nothing
To being heartbroken and out of place
Lost and unforgiving 
To hate and love 
And pain and pleasure
I felt it all
But what now?

True Joy

You showed me the path of happiness and you showed me how it feels to be 
loved.
Before you I never knew how it felt to be truly loved and now I do.
The wall that once protected me heart from pain and heart break is gone.
You took it down for me.
You showed me its okay to love and too beloved and that’s its okay to let people 
into your heart.
I can’t tell you how much you mean to me
Just that you mean the world to me
And I hope I mean the world to you too.
I would do anything to keep you happy because when you’re happy I’m happy.
I cheer you up and you cheer me up
Together we keep each other happy
The way it’s meant to be
