My Haunting

Once Upon A Nightmare, After The Music Died,

Hearts Layed As Empty Rooms,& Silent Shadows Cried.

That Night, I Held My Dreams In My Arms As They Slowly Faded Away.

I Tried To Hold On To Them, But My Hopes Just Couldn't Stay.

It Broke My Heart To See It All Die Right Before My Eyes.

Now I'm Left Alone & Empty, There's Nothing Left To This Haunting Life.

Nothing Left To Smile for, To Want, To Need To Feel The Warmth.

It's All Gone Forever Now, It's Cold, It's Distant, It's Dark.

My Ghosts Will Stay Beside Me Though, For They Refuse To Leave,

It Hurts For Me To Realize, That They Are All That's Left Of Me.

Finding My Way In Your Arms : Part 1

you walk through the door, i try to quickly catch my breathe
seeing you walk towards me, my heart skips a beat
you softly tell me you love me. it sounds all so simple, but it felt so sweet
you pull me towards you and i feel safely hidden from the world
I try to hold onto you tighter so you could never leave my side
when a thought of me without you arises..

i feel as though I've died
take my hand, walk with me,
down whatever path you want to show me
I'm all ears to whatever you have to tell.
tell me again you love me, you say those words so well.
I hide myself against your chest so that all i feel is your heart against mine
you make a joke to make me laugh, the pain in me subsides
Each time i see you, you make me feel complete,
so when its time to leave i feel you left with a part of me.
Ive never been this happy, and i never want it to cease.

But in myself theres something ever so wrong with me and i fear itll swallow me whole.
I try to get up again, im thrown down, cant even crawl.
I try to think of your face and how you make me smile, but the pains killing me right now,
nothing about me seems worth while.
What do i have to offer you? That would be greater than my mess?
I love you so much its hurting me at the thought i could hurt you.
Instead theres so many questions but whats the right thing to do?
I wish you could hold me and promise me it'll be okay,
that you'll forever love me and in time you'll see me every day.
How i want it all to happen and with you it seems it could.
I would do almost anything if you told me that i could.
Oh god..i wish i didn't have this to have to put you through..
I'm so sorry for my troubles that i may have caused, but its not going to end anytime soon.

Finding My Way In Your Arms : Part 2

I'll never understand it or truly love myself.
Theres not a part of me that doesn't love you and wishes you all the best.
How i long to walk down that aisle in my white wedding dress.
But could you love someone like me..someone who always cries,
someone who always feels a pain in her heart somewhere deep down inside.

I don't wanna hold you down or waste any of your time.
The moments that I've spent with you were the only ones worth my while.
When you kissed me tonight i thought of how life would be,
if there was a day gone by when you wouldn't spend one with me.
I thought of how id hate my life and how i would cry,
and the parts you brought life back into me.. would wither away and die.

I don't want to be selfish here and i don't know if this is whats right.
But id live for you, Id die for you, Id claw my way through hell for you.
All for you and only you. You are my only one.  
Ill never let you go, ill find the strength in me and place it for all to show
You are my love and so you are my life,
although you've already taken so much of this strife
I cant leave you, i wont leave you.
Ive never felt so much from someone that had come into my life,
id be a fool to turn you away,
so i'm asking you to stay,
stay with me, forever and a day.
