Blushing Rose

I see a blushing rose
Looking so beautiful.
It reminds me of
What you do with me
I remember the way
My skin touches yours.
I remember how you
Treat me each and every day
You keep a smile
On my face.
I need to feel
You’re touch a lot
More than anyone elses.
I feel this happiness
A lot more than 
I usually have been.
You don’t have to
Do much to make me happy.
You became the highlight 
Of my day.
The one i want to see.
I’v become moody
Until i see your face.
Your touch sends
My heart racing
And blush like a rose.
I’m not shy
Of doing my own thing
Because you like me
For me not some stranger
You tell me you love me
Me i won’t say it back
I’m too scared
And unsure about it.
I don’t want to 
Make a mistake
As i’ve done before.
You seem to understand that.
That’s why it makes
You so special to me.

Falling Angel

You’re like an Angel
Fallen from heaven.
I never did think
It was you
All this time.
I didnt think
I would be
The lucky girl,
To have you,
To hold you.
I think of you 
Everywhere i go.
I feel you eyes 
On me everywhere i go
You’re the one
I want to 
Trust my heart with
To keep it safe
From harms way
I can’t imagine
My life without you
Now, its very 
Difficult to do.
There’s that one phrase
I want to say
But i’m afraid 
To tell you
Scared of what your
Reaction might be
I care for you deeply
As i do for my family
It’s hard for me
To understand how
I have you as mine.
And why i already do.
It’s a mystery to me
How it happened
I’m glad that you’re mine
You’re my fallen angel!

Life

Why does everyone have to complain about life?
Why can’t anyone appreciate for what it is 
We take life for granted countless times?
What's the rush about anyway?
Why can't people stop taking others for granted?
Why do so many bad people get away with so much
While the rest of us suffer for it?
It seems like no one can own up to what they do
I'm always seeing decent people. 
Get treated badly because they have a big heart
You would think they would realize why 
The good people stop being nice and kind
Eventually good people snap.
And that all seems like it shocks everyone 
Like hey this sweet person has bite
Now they are the mean ones
In everyone else's eyes.
They don't like when the good ones stands their ground.
How much more of this will continue?
Will the whole world turn into this?

Absent Mindedness

I’ve been getting so lost in my head
I barely notice things going on.
I forget where i am,
What i’m doing at the time.
I tune out everything around 
Letting my thoughts consume me.
And most of the time 
I don’t realize that it has.
It troubles me when i do this.
I lose track of time, 
Lose track of where i’m at.
I become robotic to what i do everyday.
It’s scary how easily i slip 
Into this state of mind.
It’s like my brain is beginning 
To shut out the world 
Take me away from reality.
Like my mind wants to solve 
All the problems that been going on. 
Or analyze all situations that’s happened.

Coming Clean

Here comes the raindrops
To wash away my sorrow
To wash away my pain
To wash away my regrets
To wash away my old feelings
And give me new ones
Like the saying goes
Out with the old
And in with the new
I guess i finally 
Get my chance for once
I won’t forget the past 
I have no more shame
Of who i am
And what i did then
What had happen
Has changed me
I don’t know
If it’s for the better
Or it’s for the worse
I guess we’ll find out
Later on in life
I’m not depending 
On you anymore
For anything any longer
Don’t expect me to be
Crawling back to you
When you think
You need me the most of all
Probably the only time 
I would go back to you
Is when you can
Prove to me
That you truly care about me 
And willing to change your ways
For me and only me
I’m not getting 
Myself hurt again
For the billionth time
You might think this is silly 
But it’s the truth
And i’m serious
So good luck 
With the next girl
I hope you get hurt
Like i did
Then you would know
How i felt then!

The Maybes

Why is it so hard
To fall asleep?
Maybe because i have
You on my mind.
Maybe i miss your arms
Around me like you’re 
Protecting me from 
My nightmares or my fears.
But you failed from 
Protecting me from
Getting heart broken.
Again i ask
Why is it so hard
To fall asleep?
Maybe because i stay up
Wondering if you miss me
Or think of me.
My mind goes to
Another question.
Do you regret the 
Things we did together?
When we talk
I ache to have you back.
When you are brought up
In a casual conversation
With my friends 
I hear the way
They talk about you
It’s as if you’re nothing
But you’re something to me.
But i guess i should be
Moving on to someone else
But it’s so hard.
But i will thank you
For one thing.
And that is thank you
For keeping me from
Falling apart completely
In the past.

Mystery

My heart has been torture
In so many places
So many times
That i can’t even count anymore
Why does yours hurts the worse?
Why is it that i 
Can’t even get over you?
I can’t stop the urge
I get when i talk to you
I crave you so much
When i talk to you
I feel as if everything is ok
And not going to fall apart
But when you quit talking to me
I feel that loneliness again
I feel my heart twist and turn
And ache and go crazy over it
When we meet i didn’t think
Anything of it then
Then we got to talking
And that lead to something more
You became my whole world 
And i thought no one 
Could take that away from me 
But it did happen
My world became fragile
Without you in it to keep it stable
Back then i thought i was healing
But just when i was almost there
Everything came crashing down around me 
I’m not really sure
If i will heal again
Whatever you did to me
Has affected me so badly
That you left a scar behind
You changed me so much
That you don't realize of
what you did to me.

Fallin'

I’m falling, falling down deep
I don’t plan to back out now
Not now, not ever
I’ve gotten so far now
Why back off when there is
So much more here
I plan to show you
How much i love you
With each passing day
It grows more and more by day
I have an ache in my heart
With each day i don’t see you
It grows along with love
I have for you
The ache numbs down 
When i see you
I give anything
Just to see you everyday
I want to keep things right
And not mess it up with you
This is something special
That i do know
I can see you think so too
I can see you don’t want
To let me go
That fine with me 
I wouldn’t want you to
You are all i could ever ask for
You’re my fallen angel
The one i was too blind 
To see in the beginning
The one i love now, always, and forever

Who Cares

I look around
And i see the world changing
But i stay put, don't change
People look at me strange
Like i shouldn’t belong
Then i feel sad, heartbroken and lost
No one cares how i feel
They don’t see me break down
They don’t see me burning
They act like i’m not here
And sometimes i wish it was true
They don’t mess with me
When i’m around
But as soon as i leave, they do
I know they do
By the look on their faces
They don’t realize that i know
They think i’m stupid or blind
I don’t know which
Or it could be both
But i don’t know
I feel like i’m in a deep dark hole
And no one sees me
Or at least not the real me
Very few can see
One day they care
And the next they don’t 
If someone actually cared
It would bring me to tears
But i don’t see that happening
Any time soon
Or at least i don’t know
I run away
To cry my heart out
But no one comes for me
To comfort me
To hold me
Like i see others do
I guess it’s not for me
Slowly tears fall from my face
Finally someone sees
I feel ashamed
Of them seeing me like this
They didn’t try to comfort me 
When i needed it
Why now when i don’t
Why would anyone care?
Who cares!

Wishing

I could wish 
A upon a star
So many times
And half expect it 
Not to work
And half expect 
It would
I wish for 
Fantasy to become
Reality instead of 
The other way around
To bad i can’t 
Stop wishing
And deal with life
Maybe i’m to scared
Maybe i’m just weird
I wish the maybes
Would go away
There’s too many 
Maybe's in life
So i guess
I should stop wishing too
But then again
There would be 
No more possiblities
