You will never know
 

You will never know how much I'll miss you
or how much I care for you inside my heart
you'll never know how often I think about you
or how many times you tore my world apart.

You will never know how many tears I've cried
or how many times a night I dream about you
you will never understand why I do any of this
or just how badly my soul aches for you too.

You will never know how many dreams have been shattered
or how in just a few months, you have changed my whole life
you will never be able to apologize for all your mistakes
or be able to somehow forgive me for all of mine.

You will never be able to kiss me
or to even hold me in your strong arms
you will never know that I am hurting
or that you will only bring me harm.

Yes you will never know any of this
because I keep it here locked inside
for I don't to bring want
to bring any more pain into my life.

But as I am writing this
I can't help but think
of how much I love you
and how I wished you loved me.

Because you will never know
how much my heart aches for you...
I wish I could tell you this
but I am too scared to.

PiCtUrE
 
It's funny how something like a picture
can spawn so many forgotten memories
and as I stared down into your eyes
I closed my own and began remembering....
I remember that day so vividly
as if it was just yesterday
amazes me that it's been almost 4 years
and I still think about you today.
I had admired you from afar for over a year
and I remember when you finally asked me out
I was so happy that I almost started to cry
remember when you asked me what I was so sad about?
I was far from sad, I was in my own little world
being with you felt like some strange dream
a dream that I never wanted to wake up from
couldn't believe that you had chosen me.
I remember the night you said I love you
it was when we were talking on the phone
words can't explain what was going through my head
but for the first time in my life, I no longer felt alone.
You were there for me,to experience my ups and downs
to hold me close whenever I needed a friend
you listened to me and gave me advice
when it seemed as if my world had come to an end.
You fought every battle with me
stuck up for me every chance you got
noone quite understood how deeply we loved eachother
back then love was something so many teens forgot.
But not us...not you and me
what we had was so special in my eyes
but all good things come to an end
eventually we would have to say goodbye.
I never would have thought you would end this
and when you said it was over,I could barely breathe
I couldn't believe you out of all people
would be the one to break the news to me.
I remember running into the girls bathroomn
and crying on the shoulder of my friend
the pain that I felt at the moment was so intense
and I didn't think that it would ever end.
I remember thinking that you'd come back to me
that this was all just some mistake
but as the weeks treaded on.....
my heart continued to break.
When summer came, I thought I was okay
that is, until you called me
I remember how excited I was
and how nice you seemed to be.
I mistook your call for something more
I thought you wanted to get back together
but you just called so you could feel less guilty
and I knew the answer to my question was-never.
Never again would I get to kss you
or tell you that you were my ultimate dream
because as much as I hoped it would be
our love wasn't quite what it seemed.
I remember the next time I saw you
how the tears sprung to my eyes
as I saw you holding her
your arms wrapped around her so tight.
That year though...I survived
but I remember how much it hurt
to be without you once again
it was just another lesson learned.
And when I opened my eyes
I saw your picture still in my hands
I let myself shed one small tears for us
and knew my heart would understand.
Because thats all thats left of us
just a couple pictures that I kept
and as hard as it is for me....
its something I have to accept.

Feel Like Nothing
 

Without you in my world...
my life means nothing
for when I had you
I had everything.
I had friends who were true
they used to care about me
now they have all disappeared
all I can do now is weep.
I cry not only for me
but for you too
for leaving me here
alone and without you.
Hiding my pain isn't working
it's so plain to see
that I am dieing inside
I no longer feel like me.
How can I get past this?
I feel like my life is over
you were all I ever had
now you give me the cold shoulder.
I was never the one to fall in love
for I believed that it didn't exist
but when you kissed me that first time
my heart and my lips could not resist.
I wish that I could forget that night
and all the other days we shared
that way i could pretend that I was happy
and that maybe someone would reach out and care.
But thats not the case
and I'm suffering on my own
oh god what did I do to deserve this??
why must I have to survive a broken heart alone?

Your Words Hurt Me
 
Brokenhearted you left me
asI watched you walk away
I cringed at the memory of our fight
and the words you said to me did stay.
How you didn't care if I was mad
because in a few days you would be gone
it was like my feelings never even mattered
and I started to wonder what went wrong.
I came back to school today
because I had been sick for a few days
and I wanted to see you more than anything
now I wish my love for you could be erased.
I didn't believe my friends
when they told me what you said
I thought I knew you better than that
well obviously I was mislead.
And later on you said it again
it was your way of trying to hurt me
I never talked about you behind your back
and if I did, it would have only been good things.
I wanted to cry so badly
but I wouldn't give you the satisfaction
because I saw you sitting there across from me
blantantly waiting for my reaction.
You tried to talk to me
but I ignored your every word
I'm tired of being treated like this
why is it me that you want to hurt??
I haven't done a thing to you
expect try to be a friend
but obviously we can't be that anymore
for whatever we are has now just come to an end.

It would Be Too Easy
 

It would be too easy
to pretend like we never even met
I could ignore you in the halls
and put on my best act yet.
It would be too easy
to simply walk away from you
when it's something I want...
but am not sure how to do.
It would be too easy
to not stare into your blue eyes
that way I can forget the way they shown
in the darkness of a hot summer night.
It would be too easy
to say that I don't care
then I could get on with my life
without having to be part of a pair.
It would be too easy
to say that I never even loved you
I could take the games you play
and turn them around on you too.
Yes it would be too easy
to do all of these things
but I am not a vengeful person
and somewhere I know that you love me.
So I will stick around
and wipe these tears of mine away
it would be too easy to leave you...
so I guess thats why I still stay.

What's Happening To Us?
 

Why can't we make things right?
can't we go back to how things were?
Without you,
my life has no meaning
no purpose at all.

Even if you don't realize it
I need you more than words can say
but not ever you.
can stop the pain you're causing me...
you can't wash our past mistakes away.

My heart is breaking slowly
cracking piece by piece
and soon,
nothing will be left.
Why can't you just talk to me
and tell me how you feel?
Why don't you just say
'I love you' and make things okay??
oes It Take?
 

///DoN't LeAvE///
 

You know who you are
and that I love you
I don't want you to leave
but I know you have to.
I'll just shut my eyes
and drift off into yesterday
every smile you gave me...
it's in my heart to stay.
And if I ever got the chance
to somehow go back in time
I would have done things the right way
its sad knowing that you could have been mine.
You are all that matters to me
and I don't care what others say
I am the one who controls my heart
why should I listen to them anyway?
I am really going to miss you
and next year it won't be the same
no more taking our walks down the hall
no more playing your litle mind games.
No more of your gentle touches
no more of your helpful words
no more will you be there.....
and my sobs will never be heard.
I hope you remember me
and how much that I cared
we have been through alot
but I have always been there.
And yes maybe you haven't
treated me exactly the best
but whose perfect anyway?
let's let the past rest.
I'm concentrating on now
strictly just you and me....
I love you with all my heart
and I wish that you didn't have to leave.

HuRtInG WiThOuT yOu
 

I feel like I am on the outside
every time her name escapes from your lips
do you love her, do you still care
if she knows that I'm the one you're with?
I'm risking it all for you
my heart is out on the line
waiting for you to accept it
praying that you will be mine.
I can't even begin to tell you
how many nights I've lied awake
wondering when our love would happen
and what would ultimately make it fade.
I know I deserve better than someone
who already has a girlfriend
but I can't hide the way I feel
one look in your eyes,and I can't pretend.
So I let you hold me for now
but I don't let you catch my tears
for tommorow I might wake up
and you might not be here.
For whose to say that you
might not change your mind?
because the two of you are still together
and it hurts that you think that its fine...
Fine to just make me fall in love with you
and to carry my heart wherever you go
fine for you to ask me out and then leave me
sitting at home on a Saturday night alone.
Some may say I am a fool for you
and you know what,maybe I am?
but you and I are so good together
that its hard for others to understand.
Everyone automatically assumes that you and I
are meant to be together because of the way we act
always touching,somehow communicating without words
around others we always joke around and all that.
But then I go home and I start to wonder
about how far I let my feelings for you go
is it that obvious that I am in love with you?
can you tell how badly I want to be with you alone?
I never got to tell you what I've always wanted to say
that inside,without you, I am slowly dieing
and I need you to take all this pain away
because I can't imagine life without you by my side.

 

Do YoU lOvE mE?
 

I finally did it today
I actually kissed you
only on the ckeek though
but hey that counts too.
You kept asking me
all day during class
I was afraid you were joking
but time was running out fast.
I felt you searching...
to put your hand in mine
this time I didn't resist
gave up trying to fight.
It felt so natural
like it was meant to be
finally now I have the answer
to the question of you and me.
We were in our own little world
away from everyone around us
I wanted to tell them all though
that I had fallen in love.
But what hurts is the fact
that soon you'll have to go
why didn't this happen months ago?
I love you...I don't want to be alone.
We could have had something special
but now it's too late...isn't it?
we were too late to act on this
and thats something I don't get.
What were we so afraid of before?
because now I have no real reason why...
why did we never get together?
and why now,when we have to say goodbye?
It feels like my heart is being
ripped apart in two different directions
and I'm trying my best not to cry
but you're showing me so much affection.
This really hurts...knowing it'll never work
for who knows what tommorow has in store
I don't want my heart to break again
and I don't want to love you anymore.
But I don't know how to stop loving you
or to stop feeling the way that I do
I'm praying that you love me....
please...say you love me too.

LaSt DaY
 
I didn't want to tell you goodbye
couldn't force the words out
the situation was awkward anyway
you know what I'm talking about....
Because the truth came out today
I finally told you how I felt
it was a huge relief to let it all go
to stop pretending to be someone else.
And as I watched you walk away
I hoped that I'd somehow see you again
that what you said wasn't all lies
and that we'd remain close friends.
I don't want to be that girl
whose always chasing after you
I can't compete with her
I don't even want to try to.
For what we have right now
is perfect in my eyes
I don't care about anything else
just as long as your in my life.
So much between us was left unsaid
I didn't tell you everything
you still have me afraid to love you
to share with you my dreams.
I hope to God I see you again
for I've been waiting for too long
to just hold you in my arms
and not care if it might be wrong.
I am my own person
and I make my own choices
I'll just have to block out
the sound of everyone else's voices.
This isn't just some stupid crush
that I can make go away
it's something I can't fight
it's lust, some may say.
But I know it's not
and thats all that matters to me
I'll just close my eyes and think of you
and see you once again in my dreams.....

The Future Of Us
 

Maybe I will see you around someday
and then I can laugh about this
yeah...things will be okay then
my love for you won't even exist.
And maybe we'll sit down
and have a nice long chat
about our high school days
and say how much we miss that.
Maybe we will reminisce
over the love that we once had
the love you never gave into
because you never loved me back.
And maybe I will mention her name
and ask you if you're still together
then you'll smile and say no
that you knew it wouldn't last forever.
Maybe if I would speak up
I'd be able to let you know
that although the years passed
I still wasn't able to let you go.
And maybe you would tell me the same
and admit that you thought about me too
about what might have been if you tried...
I bet you would have fallen for me too.
Maybe I would just shrug my shoulders
and let out a bitter laugh
and do my best to hide my tears
because I always hoped you would say that.
And maybe seeing you was another sign
telling me not to give up on you
or maybe it was giving me a nudge
to just get over the past too.
But maybe I shouldn't be
worrying about all of this
for the future is so far away
and the present...is what I'm stuck in.
For you are still here, not far away
and your phone number is right in front of me
I know I should call you and tell you everything
but past rejections and heartbreak is all I can see.
But if I don't take this one chance
will I regret it for the rest of my life
maybe I should call you later....
maybe sometime tonight.
For now I will just daydream
about the day I might see you again
what you will be like and I'm curious
if I'd still be heartbroken.
Maybe things will be different
if I just take this one oppurtunity
maybe I can change the future....
if I just let the present be?

My Nonexistent Love Life
 

Relationships are doomed in my eyes
I have gotten my heart broken once again
to make matters worse,it was by a friend
and now all I want to do is curl up and die.
What's the point in love I ask?
it doesn't ever last
you always search your past
trying to get those feelings back.
Nothing ever works, so why even try?
why do I wear my heart on my sleeve
constantly thinking of you and me
is not what I should hope for inside.
But its what I do, night and day
I wonder what your answer will be
and if you're willing to love me
hoping you won't push me away.
I'd be willing to spend all my life
being there for you and only you
I'd be your best friend and lover too
if you'd just let me in this time.
I have yet to find true love
but hey, I am still young
my love life though is done
and I have run out of trust.
Yes relationships to me are doomed
and maybe some of you will agree
I just need to watch out for me
because I can't fall in love with you....

+++Wish You Well+++ 
  I wish you well
You were never officially my boyfriend
so i guess I can't call you my ex
but I was crazy about you
your kisses truly were the best.
You weren't like other guys I dated
you were content with just holding me
never once took advantage of me
remember the night we both fell asleep?
I woke you up and told you it was late
but you shook your head and smiled at me
you said you just wanted lay there and that
being with me was the perfect dream.
The sweet things you would say
they still have stuck with me
and tonight was the first time
we talked since January.
I am glad I put the past behind me
and I believe I made the right choice
you still remembered me...surprisingly
I wish I could call you now and hear your voice.
You have a girlfriend now, that I understand
was it the same one you had when you were with me?
is that why you told me we couldn't go out?
you had someone on the side the whole time, I see.
And although I should be angry about it
this happened months ago and I have let go
I'm not the same girl I was when we met
it took awhile but inside, I have grown.
I'm not writing this to say
that I want you back or anything
you have your own life now
and it doesn't include me.
Thats fine though, because I don't mind
I just kinda miss how you made me feel safe
maybe we never were a compatible couple
but at least you had your heart in the right place.
I wish you nothing but the best
and hope that you have a happy life
I'm smiling now because I know
that I'll see you around sometime.
The door linking our past
it is still open you know
the ball is in your court
a touch is all you have to show.
If that never happens with us
then it will be okay
we are not meant to be
not ever, not even today....

Don't Push Love Away
 

It's been a week since we have spoken
and I had some time to think about things
my happiness means more to me than you know
all I want to do is stop my suffering.
You will regret losing my love
and everytime that you pushed me away
I can imagine you crying to me on the phone
asking me why I didn't stay.
The answer is quite obvious
you couldn't make up your mind
one day you acted so cold towards me
then the next you were fine.
I can't turn my feelings
on and off like you do
thats why I'm making the choice
of having nothing to do with you.
People keep asking me how exactly
I could be so strong and not care
the truth is, I care too much
and for me just to is not fair.
I kept on giving
and all you did was take
I kept a close eye
on every move that you made.
But I am putting an end to all that
and I'm moving on because I can
next time know you don't push love away
know you have to take time to understand.
I don't think I will ever regret this
all I am doing is protecting my heart
from someone who will only misuse it
and give it back to me ripped apart.
I hope you also find the happiness
that I am so desperately searching for
and know that I mean it this time
I won't be coming back to you anymore.

Love Story
 

The word love comes to mind
everytime I say your name outloud
butterflies overwhelm me inside
you are the one,without a doubt.

If I ever told you this
what would you think of me?
I know you cared for me then
you made me happy entirely.

You grew apart from me
and it killed me to stand aside
and let you lead your own life
leaving me with not even a goodbye.

But I still loved you
I buried it so deep inside
wanted to cry every second
but I held it in all the time.

I didn't let myself fall apart
although sometimes I came close
I'd have to listen to you talk about her
knowing that you loved her the most.

I stayed by your side
gave you advice whenever you needed it
I thought that maybe you would see
that it was me you were meant to be with.

I am still convinced that one day
it will happen, that you will understand
you were all that I ever wanted and needed
it can still happen you know...it can.

But I won't wait for you,not like before
I will be here whenever you are ready
and if you never are willing to commit
at least I still have all of our memories.

What's a girl to do?
 

I want to find a lasting love
don't want to play any more games
need someone by my side
and am willing to do what it takes.

Next time I will be more careful
and I won't get in over my head
because before I ended feeling used
and I don't want to feel like that again.

I always seem to have the worst luck
or maybe I just take whoever likes me
I'm not going to be like that anymore
next time I will do the choosing.

Often I find guys that I like
but they are always too old for me
it's so frustrating when I have to say no...
and tell them that I'm only 17.

For every guy I know my age
doesn't want a serious relationship
they're only looking for one thing
and won't stop until they get it.

So what's a girl to do
when she's trying to find a lasting love
wait for the little boys to grow up
or find a man who feels like she does??

Want To Help You
 

Take a look around you, what do you see?
your friends aren't here...but I am
I've been by your side through it all
but you still turn away my helping hand.

You don't want my love or my compassion
so what exactly do you want from me?
am I just the girl you run to
whenever you are in some kind of need?

I stare into your beautiful blue eyes
and I see someone that I love very much
I want to believe that you feel the same
swear I could feel it in every touch.

You can depend on me, for anything
last thing I would ever do is hurt you
I thought you knew me better than that..
after all that we've been through.

When all your friends leave you behind
and you come to me so I can dry your tears
I am the only one who truly cares about you
but the second they call..you just leave me here.

I won't argue with you on this one
because I shouldn't tell you how to run your life
but before you go out and do something stupid
think about us...about me..sometime.

Think if running the streets is worth it
and if your life means anything to you
do you treasure it, do you want to keep it?
God... I really hope you do.

The Chance I took For Love
 

I took the chance the day
that you stepped into my life
I should have stayed away
but I never do whats right.

You had me hypnotized
under some kind of love spell
for months all I saw was you
and I knew that you could tell.

The first time you touched my hand
thats as far as it should have went
and I did back away for awhile
but my heart just could not forget.

Every line you fed, I ate it up
every excuse you gave, I believed it
when you told me you were leaving her
I thought it was me you were going to be with.

But you never did break up with her
your mind changed from day to day
sadly I waited for you to pick me
and you pushed me farther and farther away.

You knew I was getting too close
and you had to do something to stop it
but I kept on coming back because I loved you
and I hated the fact that you were doing this.

We started off as great friends..until you wanted more
I had been waiting for months just to hear those words
and when you told them to me..I almost cried
they were the sweetest words that I had ever heard.

I was so excited because I thought I finally had you
but what I ended up having was a broken heart
because you ended up working things out with her
I don't want to sound so bitter..you just tore me apart.

I took a chance and I'm weary
of whether or not I should have just said no
would I still be in the same position as now
writing these poems about you and you don't even know?

If you ever reappear in my life again
I think I would choose the alternate route this time
because I won't let you take my heart away from me
it's not yours to ever have...its mine.

Let Me Down
 

Next to you, I feel like I lack maturity
you're practically grown up and on your own
I'm just a shy, quiet girl who loves you
and lives hundreds of miles from where you roam.
Talking to you on the phone though helped
but now everytime it rings, I know its not you
you have moved on past the phase called me
in the past few months,I've realized this truth.
I can't be mad over something like this
you were never mine,the distance was too far
loving me was easy enough for you to do
but forgetting me was what tore my heart apart.
There I was...lonely and confused
waiting for you to call or even write
cried everytime I imagined you with someone else
your strong arms holding her all through the night.
That was supposed to be me, I should have been there
but at the last minute, you told me to stay away
what would have happened between us...
if I had actually gotten on the train that day?
And traveled across the country in the name of love
would the way you feel about me now change?
would I have gone through with everything I promised?
there are no clear answers here...just mistakes.
I would have done anything to be with you
climbed the highest mountain,scale a thousand peaks
I thought giving my heart to you would be a smart thing
but in the end it only made me even more weak.
There was no safety net for me to grab unto
no one could stop my own demise
couldn't keep my tears from falling
I had to dry my own eyes.
Now whenever I talk to you...its different
not necessarily in a bad way but its just hard
especially when you bring up what we could have had...
and then I remember how recklessly you broke my heart.
But I act like it doesn't bother me so I lie
and tell you, yeah we would have been great together
when on the inside, I am dieing without you
but on the outside, I seem to have it all together.
You tell me that we would have been the perfect couple
and that you wished that we could have tried
well why are you even telling me this for?
months ago, it was your decision to say goodbye.
I'll just let you keep telling me these sweet things
and wish that you meant everything you said
I know I'll have to brace myself though...
for the next time that you'll let me down AGAIN.

Finally Over You
 

I think I am finally over you, over all the pain that you put me through. I can hold my head up high and forget about all your careless goodbyes. You will never call me again, we'll never be able to remain friends. We are going in 2 different directions...I loved you, did I forget to mention? I truly did and thats what caused this to end, you loved me but you couldn't pretend. You weren't mine to have, you belonged to her, there was nothing I could do to keep me in your world. I never asked much from you, probably nothing at all, how could I ever make my life right again..if loving you was my greatest downfall? Tears for you have been shed to the bone, I just need the memory of you to leave me alone. I want to make things okay like they should be, my heart doesn't need this pain,doesn't derserve to bleed. Someday you will regret your actions against me..you'll realize its me that you do need. But I will have moved on from you...and one day, you'll get over this too. Take care of yourself, hope you have a nice life..as for me, you know that I will be fine.

Let Love Find Me
 

I am just a little girl, what do I know about love? I know more than I should and it hurts...it does. I learned at a young age what heartache was, I was only 13 when I met my so-called angel from up above. He broke my heart and left in 2, I'm still not over him, it's something that time can't undo. I search for love in all the wrong places, meet guys who turn out like rapists. I know its not the way I dress that makes them think that, I don't want to act naughty, I don't want to act bad. That's not me at all so how do I meet such guys? Why can't I find the one who can make me feel complete inside? Either they lost interest in me or they live too far away, and I'm tired of the tears, tired of the pain. Maybe I should stop searching and let it find me, thats what my family and friends seem to think. But I am just a little girl, what do I know about crying tears? What I do know is that they stop everytime he comes near. I won't tell him this though, I'll just keep it to myself...for he doesn't belong to me, he belongs to someone else. I'll just let him wash all my unhappiness away, and pray that he will love me one day.

Try again
 

You made me feel better
at the end of a cold day
I would run to you
to chase all my demons away.
Hearing your sweet voice
always helped ease the pain
I didn't feel as alone
or quite simply, as refrained.
There was someone out there
someone who understood me
this person never judged me
in me, you did believe.
You said I could be anyone
that I could do anything
my self esteem was lifted
all of this because you loved me.
But you let me go...why?
why did you cut ties for good?
did you think I needed room to grow
maybe you'd be with me if you could.
I don't know what to do
I miss every second we are apart
tell me do you love me?
can you fit me inside of your heart?
Please say you can...
I pray to god that you can
you're all I've ever needed
I hope your heart understands.
That 2 people who care about eachother
should be together till the end of time
so what do you say,can this happen?
will you once again be mine?

Nam NOT Weak
 

So you say that I'm weak
because I can't let go of you
that doesn't make me any less strong
or any less human too.
I can't turn around and forget
as quickly as you can
when the words I love you are spoken
they're hard to replace, do you understand?
Because usually when people say them
they mean it, it comes from their heart
I can't believe you lied right to my face
should have know you would, even from the start.
You had a bad history with women
but I was convinced I could change you
and for a few weeks, you were perfect
but then your real personality shown through.
But don't you dare call me weak
thats one name that I refuse to acknowledge
I'm alot smarter than you think I am
just wait till I go off to college.
I will make something of myself
where you're stuck known as a nobody
I will be famous one day
and I hope you see me on the tv.
And say 'look theres that girl I used to know'
'there's the girl that used to love me'
I will have moved on far above you
to a man that makes me truly happy.
So we'll see whose the weak one
a few years down the road
I have a feeling you'll be different
than the guy I used to know from back home.

Why Do I Hurt?
 

Why am I so damaged inside
how can I erase all this hurt
you promised me it would go away
you even gave me your word.
But I wake up,its still there
my pillow is stained with tears
photographs are thrown across my bed
memories that have faded only this year.
I used to be a happy girl,I had friends
surrounded by people who loved me
when did that all start to change?
was there an exact month, a date maybe?
Popularity was once at my fingertips
people used to look up to me for advice
now I come up empty handed everytime
for they are no longer friends of mine.
Why do I live with such pain?
can't I be just like everyone else
when can I stop worrying about others
and finally concentrate on myself?
I haven't shed a tear in months
but I wake up with tears in my eyes
it seems like only in my dreams I'm human
and when I'm awake, I wear a disguise.
I keep waiting for someone to notice
like you did..but you left me here
you gave up on me before I got a chance
to tell you that you chase away all my fears.
Why didn't you stick around?
was there someone else who meant more
why wasn't I good enough to be with you
why did you need to go and be with her for?
I will never have the true reason why
or a definite cure for my pain
but I'll still keep holding on tight
for maybe I'll be alright..one day.

I'll Keep On Loving
 

Today I thought alot about my past
and made an inner peace with myself
all things happen for a reason
thats something I had believed and felt.
And if we say goodbye now
it might not be for forever
love has a funny way of making things right
if we are destined to be together.
I stopped worrying about past relationships
over things that had been said and done
what matters now is that I am surviving
life is one of the battles that I have won.
I got over a broken heart,the loss of a friend
and I did it all alone, without any kind of help
in order to understand why this happened to me
I had to figure it all out by myself.
And now my head is clear,ready to learn again
because these bad experiences won't affect me
I will keep moving forward with my life
I'll stay positive and just keep on loving....

The Rose
 

A wilted red rose lays in the palm of my hand
its petals so crumled and looking forlorn
and I slowly start to drift away in time
ignoring the sharp pick of its thorns.

I could feel my heart start to ache inside
but I wanted to go back and relive this
the night you gave me this once beautiful rose
and the same night we engaged in our first kiss.

These emotions were bottled up for so long
letting them out was like opening an old wound
it still stung as if it happened yesterday
it tightened around my heart and gave it no room.

I pictured so perfectly our fairy tale romance
arms around eachother, holding eachother close
late dances underneath a moonlit sky
the simplest of touches meaning the most.

And as I remembered all this
I could no longer hold the tears back
how could a love like this have existed once
and is there a way to find out what we lacked?

One day you were next to me,promising me forever
and then you faded away within the lapse of time
was there not enough of an effort made on my part?
I still don't know who was wrong,your heart or mine.

As one trickle of blood runs down my finger
I recall some memorable words that you said
that even if we never made it to eternity
there was still a chance we'd find eachother again.

Maybe we will, maybe we won't
I won't live my life by what you promised me
but I'll hold on to this rose as long as I can
its the only tangible thing of you that you let me keep.

 Never Cry
 


 

Here I am, my guard is broken down
would you like to take a peek inside
maybe you can find the answer...
the answer to why I never cry.

Right after I got my heart broken again
I locked myself in my room and cried for days
the pain was so intense and never ending
it felt like my heart was breaking away.

But then after that experience,I became numb
and did not feel when to came to others
my friends would try to get me to show emotion
they thought it was an act,that I could recover.

They saw the light soon and dropped their questions
not because they didn't love me...I know they did
they just wanted to give me some well needed time alone
that whatever phase I was going through,I'd come out of it.

Why don't I cry, why can't I shed a tear?
I can feel me slipping away
getting replaced by some other girl
who doesn't care about whether she goes or stays.

I am still searching for something
that will give me the answer I'm looking for
and for the magic words that can turn me back into
the caring,sweet girl I was before.

I'm so scared that I'm going to die unloved
that I'll be left here without a friend in the world
do you think that this will happen to me?
what can I do to avert all this pain and hurt?

Here I am,my guard is down
and I'm asking someone to help
because I can't take this much longer
I can't even save myself.

I I Saw You
 
If I saw you today
I wonder how I'd react
would I burst into tears
and even take you back?

Or would I tell you
how much I hated you inside
that you used me for no reason
and lied to me too many times?

But if we ever did meet again
I would be too tongue tied to speak
I don't think I'd do anything at all
except let you pass by me.

I'd let you go on wondering
what I was thinking in my head
maybe things would be better
if we just left them unsaid.

Because I did talk to you
that would give me nothing but hope
I don't want that or your pity
I can survive a broken heart on my own.
Wanted To Know You
 
I wanted to know you
why was that such a sin?
you weren't the shy type
but you were different within.
Thats why I wanted talk to you
for whenever you were around
we had these amazing coversations
you were smart,witty,and such a clown.
You were only honest with me
why you were,remains a mystery
but as our friendship grew
you became interested in me.
And I cared about you too
it was just bad timing
you already had another girl
and that wasn't fair to me.
I was still stuck in the past
hung up over this other guy
you helped me get over him
and wiped away these tears of mine.
So what do you tell your friend
when he's on his knees for you
asking you out every chance he gets
but you're just not ready to?
And what do you do when
he suddenly ignores you
and flirts with other girls
seeing the pain you're going through?
Maybe I did the wrong thing
when I told you no then
but I thought you were joking
besides,you had a girlfriend.
We were the talk of the school
people knew about us so quickly
about how I fell in love with you
and that you felt the same for me.
I hated not having privacy
we could never talk alone
maybe we would be together today
if we had better communiation..but we don't.
When I took the chance and finally told you
that I had cared about you for 8 months
it was too late, you already had given up
I didn't expect it to hurt THIS much.
And now we no longer talk to eachother
and I still miss you alot
you were so cruel to me in the end
but maybe it was just your way of showing off.
I never told you how much I cared
I would never even let you touch me
because I was afraid people would find out
they did anyway without me even speaking.
All I wanted to do was know you
and get to understand your thoughts inside
I didn't expect to fall in love
and then get kicked out of your life.
I WOULD
 
I would sacrifice my happiness
if that would make you smile
with every ounce of my energy
for you,I'd go the extra mile.

I would give you the world
the sky,the moon,the stars
fly across this country
just to be where you are.

I would cry you a thousand tears
just so you would never be in pain
when love seems far away from you
I will renew your faith everyday.

I would listen to your every word
and pour my heart to you
because you always listened to me
at any time of the night too.

I would love you for eternity
which is what I'm doing right now
though we're not together anymore
we will be again someday..somehow.

II YeArS
 
Keep seeing you around
see you look at me
with sadness in your eyes
of how it all came to be.
Used to believe you loved me
we were so young then
alls fair in love and war
if so...then how did she win?
Often I seem to reminisce
and I can't stop the tears
who would have known that loving you
would have lasted this many years....
WOULD 
  Lost Without You
 
Can't get you off of my mind
can't get you out of my head
need to get a grip on myself
and think of someone else instead.

But no one ever understood me
the way that you seemed to
no one ever made me smile
not like the way you do.

Things are different now
I can tell things have changed
she's the girl in your present
I'm the one still stuck in yesterday.

I would sacrifice my happiness
if that would make you smile
with every ounce of my energy
for you,I'd go the extra mile.

I would give you the world
the sky,the moon,the stars
fly across this country
just to be where you are.

I would cry you a thousand tears
just so you would never be in pain
when love seems far away from you
I will renew your faith everyday.

I would listen to your every word
and pour my heart to you
because you always listened to me
at any time of the night too.

I would love you for eternity
which is what I'm doing right now
though we're not together anymore
we will be again someday..somehow.

 Am I Over You?
 
I have had a few days to clear my head
and I'm happy to say that I'm over you
not just over the little things you did
but over all the pain you put me through.

Now I know that I deserved better
than what you offered me at the time
I was just getting out of a relationship
and ended up being the next victim in line.

I can't quite call it an accident
because I saw the damage that you could do
I knew about your girlfriend from another school
I knew the rumors...I knew all about you.

I wanted to find out for myself
what it was like to be in your arms
to be safe and free from danger
I felt comforted, not alarmed.

Got too caught up in your lies
that I couldn't seem to find the truth
were we or were we not a couple
everyone seemed to know the answer but you.

I couldn't wait around for you
and something between us started to change
instead of holding me like you used to
you started to give me my space.

My heart felt so empty those last few days
I wanted so badly to go to your graduation
to see you walk across that stage....
maybe I'd get to see your family and meet them.

But I knew I could never go
it wasn't my place to be there
for she would be the one holding your hand
does she love you,does she even care?

Because I can remember you coming to me
in times when you were feeling down
and asking me to just hold you....
is that the only reason you came around?

To get my sympathy and leave
taking my heart along with you
it's not right that you did that
if you were here,I'd tell you that too.

But you're not here anymore
and school's been out for awhile
why is it that I can close my eyes
and still remember your sweet smile?

I still get this feeling
in the bottom of my stomache
when I thought of how we touched
and how much I loved it.

The feel of your hand laced in mine
the chills caused by a small gesture
how you used to help me get better grades
how you would give me so many encouraging words.

It would be a waste for me to say
that I didn't enjoy our time together
because I had the time of my life
I just wished it could have lasted forever.

Would we still be talking now
if we stayed as friends and nothing more?
would that have really made a difference
or is writing this shutting another door?

And maybe I lied when
I said I was over you
because inside I'm still hoping
that you're not quite over me too.
  Till The End Of Time
 
When I talk to you
my heart feels so heavy inside
because I can't tell you
about all my sleepless nights.
You are the one I dream of
the one that I can't let go
You think that we're still friends
because I don't let my love known.

Our past is complicated
went from friends to much more
but when our feelings became too strong
is was you who decided to shut the door.
You couldn't handle the distance
that seperated you and me
you couldn't understand why
it was only you I wanted to see.

How could I ever explain
how much I loved you from the start?
the way you cared for me...for others
it captured the very essence of my heart.
But I didn't tell you how I felt
because you weren't ready for this
the next step seemed so far away
I was slipping towards the bottom of your list.

You could never make time for me
and your phone calls came farther in between
I would get so angry, so upset that I
always tried to start fights and make scenes.
It wasn't the best way to go about
confronting you about the way you treated me
but I was just a young girl last year
and I didn't want to act maturely.

What I wanted was to close my eyes
and wake up in the safety of your arms
to savor the taste of your lips on mine
and ignore the sound of the buzzing alarm.
How could I even get up the nerve
to tell you that I fell for you
when I wasn't even sure who I was anymore
and didn't know if you even loved me too?

Now that our relationship has faded
and we are walking the fine line
I keep all my emotions deep inside me
for another day, for another time.
We have come too far and I don't
want to ruin whatever we are now
friends? confidates? associates?
is caring about you even allowed?

When you recently told me
that you loved me at one time
I almost fell apart inside
felt another piece of my die...
Why did you never tell me then?
and why now,after all these months
after I spent forever getting over you
how could 3 words mean so much?

But they do...somehow they do
if you loved me once,maybe you can love me again
I will just continue acting like I always do
pretending that you and I are just friends.
But I know everytime we do talk
I will just be living another lie
I've been doing it for over a year
and I probably will be till the end of time.
I was younger than you
and not quite as brave
you took some big risks
wished I could do the same.
Was love enough to keep you
in this life of mine?
if I acted more interesting
would you have given me your time?

You were older than me
and acted so self assured
always promised me that
you would love me forevermore.
But promises only take you
as far as you want them to go
when someone else crossed your path
that was the end of us I know.

I was clueless at first
but I finally did catch on
I wasn't who you wanted...
and now you are gone.
In the midnight hours
I lay awake in my bed
and replay our sweetest moments
over and over in my head.

I wait in anticipation
for the day I will see you again
I plan for the perfect words to say
and for all my wondering to end.
Do you still love me....somewhere?
because I love you with all my heart
but if you even cared for me at all
then why did you tear my world apart?

Till The End Of Time
 
When I talk to you
my heart feels so heavy inside
because I can't tell you
about all my sleepless nights.
You are the one I dream of
the one that I can't let go
You think that we're still friends
because I don't let my love known.

But I know everytime we do talk
I will just be living another lie
I've been doing it for over a year
and I probably will be till the end of time.

When I'm in love with someone
why is it so hard for me to say it?
to tell them they're the center of my world
but I never do..and now I live in regret.

There were so many oppurtunities
for me to remind you how I felt
but my heart froze inside
and your love couldn't make the ice melt.

I made you feel neglected
know I never wanted to hurt you
I was what was stopping us
and my fear of losing you too.

In the past,whenever I said the words
my heart always got broken in the end
maybe thats why I'm so scared
I don't want to get hurt again.

And now that you are gone
out of my life for good
I wish I said I love you
if you still loved me..maybe I would.

But I don't want to
interfere in your life again
I had the chance and I blew it
and lost one of my best friends.
Just One Night
 
If I would have did what you wanted
in the morning,would you remember me
or more importantly...would you remember
the feel of my lips or the softness of my cheek?
Would you have remembered my name
if I was to wake up beside you
woud it be just a one night stand
is that all you wanted from me too?
Then you could run and tell your friends
about everything that happened between us
you would change the story around
and in the process, lose my trust.
If I was to lose my morals for one night
and say I got too wrapped up in your arms
I wonder if I would go through with it
if I was too subdued by all your charms.
I must admit that you had me tempted
by the way that you were looking at me
then something happened that changed my mind
for I was worth more than that,I believe.
I don't regret telling you no
and maybe thats not what you wanted
maybe you just wanted to hold me
I can tell my answer left you daunted.
But I wasn't going to take any chances
and did what I thought was right
and at least I got to know you
even if it was for just one night.

IBroken Heart
 
I feel my heart being broken
words come but are never spoken.

You are here beside me
but still I am empty.

There's is nothing that you can do
to salvage the pain caused by you.

You say you don't remember
what you said last time we were together.

But I remember it,clear as day
inside of me your words remain.

How you loved me,but it wasn't enough
how could you forget...I cried too much.

And you held me in your arms
but it didn't stop the harm.

I know that this is the end
we are over, I can't pretend,

Is this the last time I'll ever see you
this feeling of dread is coming quickly too.

You get up and turn towards me
and I look into your eyes, searching.

Your eyes have seen to lost their shine
I know because in your reflection I see mine.

I don't want to cry in front of you
but here comes one tear...and another one too.

I grab your hand and stand in your way
repeating to you what you told me yesterday.

'How come I wasn't good enough?'
'why did you give up on our love?'

You wouldn't answer me at all
just stared blankly at my bedroom wall.

With a sob, I pushed you away
and cried like I haven't in days.

I never heard the door close behind you
never heard any kind of apology too.

You were going to be fine without me
and I was going to be lonely as can be.

One day when I am over you
I'll laugh and giggle like I used to.

And when I see you, I'll wave
even say hello if I'm feeling brave.

But right now all I want to do
is to soothe this heart broken by you.
SListen To Me
 
Can I have a minute of your time
there's something that I need to say
please don't say anything yet
I need to let this all out today.
Now when we first met
we became really good friends
sure we'd flirt with eachother
but we knew where the line did end.
You would talk to me about her
and I'd do my best to help you out
but the more and more I got involved
the more I started to have my doubts.
I never told you that she wasn't
the right one for you..did I?
No, I took all this love for you
and hid it deep inside.
And I got tired of your games
remember how you'd always ask me out?
and you would leave me in tears
when all I wanted to do was shout?
Yeah, I know you thought it was funny
well you don't play with people like that
what's really pathetic is the fact
that you actually liked me back.
How happy I was when I found out
like we were finally going to be together
but that never happened did it?
No, because you were too clever.
You led me on along with her
and I fell for it all the time
I'd let you hold my hand
kiss me...to me it seemed right.
To be in love with your friend
and have them feel the same way
well...it was an amazing thrill
the butterflies lasted for days.
But I don't want you to know that
I want you to know what you did to me
remember when I finally kissed you
in the hall,where everyone could see?
I didn't care what they thought
I only cared about you
but that was your last day
because you were graduating high school.
And you gave me your number
and told me to call you sometime
when I did, you acted so strange
and it made me want to cry.
We made plans to do something
and as usual, you ignored me
I took the hint and I gave up
I haven't even called you in weeks.
You have my number...you never call
I can't believe I fell in love with you
why...how did I let this happen?
I only wanted to be friends,thats the truth.
I never wanted to cry over you
while trying to fall asleep at night
I didn't expect everyone to notice
whenever we had another stupid fight.
My intentions weren't to feel like this
I wonder what yours really were
and now that you're standing in front of me
maybe you can tell me why you hurt this girl.
Did you feel guilty about not saying goodbye?
I have so many questions, I need answers
why did you tell me that you loved me
when we both knew that you were with her?
So now that you know how I feel
please don't make up any excuses again
I'm tired of hearing the same old story
of how you wish we can still be friends.
We can never go back, we can never move on
all I want to do is make peace with my past
I don't want to waste my time hating you anymore
because the pain is less and soon my anger will pass.
And at least I got to let this all out
I've kept it within me for so long
and now that you know everything....
my reason for holding on to you is gone.
Wash Away
 
Time fades into the background
and as the rain falls onto the windowpane
I hold my hand over my beating my heart
and listen to the drops that are so faint.

The tears slide down my cheeks
I make no move to wipe them away
it has only been a few months
but it still hurts like yesterday.

I take out my photo album
and study the features of your face
you changed my life that summer
it is you that I can never replace.

The rain will drown out
the sound of all my sobs
no one is coming to my rescue
I have no one left to depend on.

For it was you I ran to
when I needed someone hold me
and now these arms of mine are empty
I'm searching for comfort desperately.

I have become a different person
and I don't know who I am anymore
keep thinking that I'll be okay....
but the old me never walks through the door.

All I know now is how to cry
without letting anyone else know
yes, the rain will wash it all away
and my pain will never truly be shown.
Is Your Love Real?
 
I want to hear that I'm beautiful
and that you love the outfits I wear
when we're together I need reassurance
I need to know that you care.
You make me feel so secure
and thats making me put my guard up
I'm hoping you meant it when you said
that you loved me THAT much.
I've been overexposed to lies
so if thats all you're going to do
then leave me before I get
even more attatched to you.
I can tell your good at heart
but how long will you stay that way
I love your innocence, I really do
but what's going to happen what it fades?
Nothing good can last forever
unless it is something pure
are we even right for eachother?
you seem to be so sure.
I'm putting my heart on the line
will you recieve it on the other end
and catch it before it falls to pieces
if loving me is just for pretend?
aw You 
  My Inner Pain
 
Have you ever reached out to someone
and poured your heart out to them
did they let you into their life too
promising that they'd always be your friend?

When you both started to fall in love
did you share every waking moment together
were you ever seperated by a long distance
and find yourself living in their letters?

Did this person ever tell you their ambitions
how their life's goal was to spend forever with you
and late at night, did you talk till the sun came up
never complaining about the lack of sleep you went through?

And when you cried or were feeling down
was he the first person you wanted to call
and sob so quietly but he still heard you
did he tell you to always stand tall?

When the love in your heart consumed you
and every waking moment was spent on him
was your future as bright as you thought it was
did he love you like he said...until the bitter end?

Have you ever told yourself to let go
and to just accept the fact thats he's gone
did that person ever mean so much to you
that you knew he'd leave you all along?

Was his kisses so passionate and loving
that you allowed yourself to get lost in them
did you ever realize he was just lieing to you
that it wasn't you who was pretending, but him?

When do you say enough is enough to your heart
and to close it up and lock it away
do you ever wonder why you always get hurt
if not...maybe I should be thinking about it today.

If I saw you today
I wonder how I'd react
would I burst into tears
and even take you back?

Or would I tell you
how much I hated you inside
that you used me for no reason
and lied to me too many times?

But if we ever did meet again
I would be too tongue tied to speak
I don't think I'd do anything at all
except let you pass by me.

I'd let you go on wondering
what I was thinking in my head
maybe things would be better
if we just left them unsaid.

Because I did talk to you
that would give me nothing but hope
I don't want that or your pity
I can survive a broken heart on my own.

 

Wanted To Know You
 

I wanted to know you
why was that such a sin?
you weren't the shy type
but you were different within.
Thats why I wanted talk to you
for whenever you were around
we had these amazing coversations
you were smart,witty,and such a clown.
You were only honest with me
why you were,remains a mystery
but as our friendship grew
you became interested in me.
And I cared about you too
it was just bad timing
you already had another girl
and that wasn't fair to me.
I was still stuck in the past
hung up over this other guy
you helped me get over him
and wiped away these tears of mine.
So what do you tell your friend
when he's on his knees for you
asking you out every chance he gets
but you're just not ready to?
And what do you do when
he suddenly ignores you
and flirts with other girls
seeing the pain you're going through?
Maybe I did the wrong thing
when I told you no then
but I thought you were joking
besides,you had a girlfriend.
We were the talk of the school
people knew about us so quickly
about how I fell in love with you
and that you felt the same for me.
I hated not having privacy
we could never talk alone
maybe we would be together today
if we had better communiation..but we don't.
When I took the chance and finally told you
that I had cared about you for 8 months
it was too late, you already had given up
I didn't expect it to hurt THIS much.
And now we no longer talk to eachother
and I still miss you alot
you were so cruel to me in the end
but maybe it was just your way of showing off.
I never told you how much I cared
I would never even let you touch me
because I was afraid people would find out
they did anyway without me even speaking.
All I wanted to do was know you
and get to understand your thoughts inside
I didn't expect to fall in love
and then get kicked out of your life.

Fireworks Within
 

As I sit here lost in yesterday
a certain special day comes to my mind
the day when you and I finally kissed
a day that I wish I could rewind.
We didn't know eachother all that well
but I felt something for you so deep
it rushed over me like a tidal wave
you were in my thoughts constantly.
The next day,you were leaving
so we had to make this day last forever
I loved getting to know you....
wish we could have somehow stayed together.
Distance seperated us then like it does now
but I thank god for those two days
maybe it was the ocean or the sand
or the sound of crashing waves...
But I fell head over heels for you
what amazed me was that you felt the same
we had so many things in common
loved poetry,hated playing head games.
We were upfront with eachother
even though we didn't have to be
guess because I saw something in you
and you saw something great in me.
When we kissed, it was incredible
it was as if I was walking on clouds
never experienced anything like it before
it was a kiss to remember,without a doubt.
Something you said to me the other day
well..it kind of stayed in my mind
you asked me if I ever think about that day
and I answered all the time.
You also asked me if I remembered the sparks
when we kissed near the waters edge
you don't know how vividly I can picture it
or how many times I sit and reminisce.
Those few days were worth it in the end
because somehow I still have you in my life
I wouldn't trade them for anything
I will cherish them for all time.


 












 

 

ot Anymore 
 





 









 



 



The Truth
 
Whenever I think about you
my mind drifts back to your smile
of tight hugs and sweet kisses
phone calls that lasted all the while.

I remember how good it felt to love
and to be loved in return
I searched for so long to find someone
and through you I did learn.

But what you gave me had consequences
there was a part to you I never knew
I didn't recognize how cold you could be
or that I would cry because of you.

I was just happy, too happy at the time
my eyes were sown shut to your deceit
the warning signs were there
but I just chose not to see.

What happened to me then
when did you start to change?
I don't want to remember this now..
it brings back too much pain.

But god I need to
I have to get over this
I need to admit that you were wrong
and that it's you I shouldn't miss.

Strong is what I'm not
for my mind blocked out your lies
whenever people mention your name
I pretend that I am fine.

I act as though you and I
had a perfect relationship
but it's all a facade
a lie is what it is....

But my heart keeps on beating
and my mind thinks thats its ok
to just pretend that you were a good person
but that your feelings for me just did not stay.

That wasn't the case, however
and I wish that I could leave you behind
I need to take a deep breath and let you go
and have one last cry......

What I need from you

What I need from you
is something that you can never give
a man to say that my existence
is the reason for why he lives.
Hearing the words I love you
would be nice too
someone to support me
and everything I go through.
Asking you to hold me
is hard enough to do
I need someone who loves me
without making me feel used.
and what I need from you
is something I'll never recieve
someone who was ready and wiiling
to spend the rest of his life with me.

^A^Story^To^Tell^
 
I've been silent all these years
but I think I'm ready now
to share with all of you my story
thats difficult to talk about.

I used to write about a specific boy
poems about love and happiness
I believed he really loved me
but next to him I always felt less.

Too caught up in being popular
that I went along with all he said
he could treat me the way he wanted
I let him play mind games with my head.

I was a young girl at the time
he was older and it excited me
that I was dating an older man
while my friends ached in jealousy.

But what they didn't know
was the horror of it underneath
they didn't know how he'd make me cry
or how he manipulated me.

Being used was all it was
and it took me so long to tell
he did so many things to me....
I lived in my own personal hell.

He changed me, made me feel empty
for months I felt like I was nothing
my friends never noticed a difference
but I was good at hiding things.

I guess what I want to tell you
is be careful who you fall for
some may not be who they say they are
even if they say they won't hurt you anymore.

Take care of your heart and all its worth
don't let anyone ever tell you what to do
live your own life, have your own thoughts
always be on guard at the same time too.

Love should never be perfect, as we all know
but it should never make you feel like nothing
and if you're with someone who makes you feel like this
then please do what I did.....leave.

Smiling
 

I don't feel like smiling today
why is that a crime
if I'm not happy 24/7
people start to ask why.
I say my boyfriend dumped me
don't worry it's no big deal
he just couldn't understand
why sometimes I just don't feel.
It's as if my heart is numb
and there's nothing I can do
this doesn't happen that often
doesn't it ever happen to you?
Someone can sit there and say
that they couldn't live without you
and then you hear yourself reply
well that's something I think I could do.
I'm not coldhearted
don't get the wrong idea about me
but I've been hurt so many times
that my scars are just too deep.
I don't feel like smiling
when it feels as if I can't even speak
can't stop the world from spinning
and I feel my knees get weak.
Because I know if I smile
the next thing I'll do is cry
and if I'm proud
then I can't do that, can I?
I have to be strong
I will get over him
I just don't feel like smiling
because I know the tears will win.

You're Not Listening
 
That's it
walk away
you always do when you
don't know what to say.

Becuz you're a coward
and you know it's true
you were wrong when you thought
that I'd come back to you.

I'm surviving
life's been treating me ok
what are you doing??
don't look at me that way!

Breaking up was for the best
thats what we both agreed
so...no don't even try it
the blame is not on me.

So I'm selfish am I?
well then what are you?
becuz every move I made
revolved around you too.

Don't even try to apologize
I don't want to hear it
we're over ok?
I just wanna forget this.

Yeah walk away
go ahead I dare you to
it won't change a thing except for
I lost what little respect I had for you.

Remember This.....
 
If you ever remember one thing about me
please remember this
to be with you one last time
is sadly what I'll always wish.

Our friendship is over
becoz I fell in love with you
I'm sorry but honestly
I thought you felt the same way too.

Was what we had superficial?
Did you ever even care?
never imagined we'd turn out like this
I believed you'd always be there.

Remember that I tried
to mend the situation with you
but you continued to ignore me
What was I supposed to do?

I'm not going to just sit here
and wait for you to make up your mind
I think I'm ready to move on now
after all of these months,after all this time.

I hope you realize
just what you're missing out on
I hope you remember my face
when the days are short,and the nights are long.

Remember that I'll miss you
no matter how apart we are or will be
I'll always keep a place for you in my heart
for you are forever a part of me.....
 
I've found someone new
 
I did what I said I would
I got over you
it took months and alot of tears
but here I am, living proof.

So if you ever thought I couldn't make it
without you being my my side
look at me, I'm still breathing
I survived.

I'm not the same person
that I was before
but however, I am stronger
and I couldn't ask for more.

You are still in my heart
locked away with the rest of my past
but I have moved on, you see
to a love that I know will last.

I love you was all you couldn't say
you let me slip right through your hands
but I'm all right now, don't worry
for I have found myself a new man.
^I WILL NOT^/
 
I will not be your toy
or come whenever you call
I don't need you there to catch me
everytime I'm about to take a fall.

I will not let you hurt me
when you flirt with those other girls
I'll just turn my head and ignore it
and forget you were ever in my world.

I won't listen when you say
how much that you love me
you're doing this to lead me on
and thats NOT an attractive quality.

I will not take you back
after you've had your fun with her
for once you need to realize
we can't go back to what we once were.

I don't have time to play games
because you're the one who starts them
one week you're all over me
the next we're just friends.

And you know what?
I'm tired of this
I don't care anymore what you do
or whose lips you may kiss.

I only care about me
and I need to get away from you
I will not let you control me...
from here on out we are through.
 
MaYbE wE CaN
 
Stop looking at me with that smile
don't try to make me laugh
your cute tactics won't work on me
I have already told you that.

My hands are starting to tremble
your body is moving closer to mine
I swallow away all of my nerves
and pretend like I am fine.

I'm waiting for the bell to ring
you are waiting for a sign
I can't let you get to me
so all I do is tell you lies.

YOu can see right through me
but you don't let me know
instead you just shake your head
my heart breaks as I watch you go.

I am doing the right thing
but it still tears me apart inside
I don't like hurting you
or seeing the disappointment in your eyes.

But what you are doing is wrong
I won't let you cheat on her with me
tell your girlfriend the truth
and we then we can talk about us....maybe.

You're^worth^it^
 
Do you ever think about me?
cuz I think about you everyday
I plan out my words carefully
practicing what I want to say.

I'm not very good at expressing myself
I tend to get nervous and shy away
but with you I feel so much at ease
I adore you more day by day.

I can tell that you're falling too
but you're better at hiding your feelings away
but when love comes into your life
let it in, you don't have to be afraid.

For as long as you have me
and as long as I have you
we can conquer all our doubts
and our insecurities too.

What you're going through right now with her
its complicated, yes I know
but if you want this as much as I do
then you need to let her go.

Stringing her along won't make things easier
and doing that will only push me away
I'm trusting you with my heart here
before it was safely put away.

But from the moment that you first touched me
I felt something, a force that I can't explain
I remember when your eyes met mine steadily
and neither of us made a move to pull away.

Others don't understand why I
bother to even wait for you
but in my heart, I know you're worth it
I will wait as long as it takes too.

I wish I knew if you thought about me
as much as I think about you
I'd like to think you do, with a smile
and realize how good my love feels too...

How I wish

How I wish you were still around
to bring my life up instead of down.

How I wish I could see your face
and know for once that it wasn't a mistake.

How I wish I could read your mind
to know why you lie time after time.

How I wish I could say no to you
to tell my heart that we're through.

How I wish that you felt like I did
to want me and to be interested.

How I wish I knew this before
I gave you all I had and more.

TeArDrOp
 

A tear fell for you today
I tried to cage it in
like I do to all of
my old feelings for you....
but it was no use
Soon I was drowned
in all of our old memories
and sweet kisses of yesterday
I tried to be strong,
and get over you...
I know I shouldn't love you
but I'm unsure of how to stop.

Who I am
 
Take me as I am
I will never change
understand this here and now
I will always be the same.
I'm sorry that inside
my heart feels such pain
this is who I am
this is who I will remain.
And if you're willing to risk this
then I'll gladly follow you
just understand that I'm different
my hearts taken so much abuse.
My body has been violated in the past
how do I know I can trust you?
I want to be able to open up
but it's so hard to.
I can't stop my tears
I don't know how not to
this is who I am
and who I want is you.
I just need someone there
to be my protector, my guide
I want you to be that person
if you're willing to stand by my side.
 
:::GaMeS aNd LiEs:::
 
Games and lies
lies and games
which one is different?
which one is the same?
I don't know
you tell me
and while you're at it
stop pretending
That you don't care
I know you do
You like me
and I like you
Things don't have to
be so complicated
we flirt all the time
I know your interested
Everyone around us
can see it too
they say we're so obvious
so now what do we do?
We travel in circles
avoiding how we feel
and whenever we touch
it's becoming more real
I can't resist this
I don't even want to try
it hurts that I can't be with you
I hate it because it makes me cry
I'm tired of all this
he said/she said
if we can't talk about this
then why are we even friends?
This is all you do
games are what you play
when I think we're finally getting somewhere
lies are what you say
Maybe I'm being selfish
but I can't help the way I feel
and neither can you.....
so when will our love be revealed?
 
:::ThInKiNg BaCk:::
 
When I think back to us back then
I still get butterflies
remembering our sweet kisses
beneath a moonlit night.
You would wrap your arms
around my waist so tight
claiming that you'd never let me go
that we'd never say goodbye.
And I'd laugh
and give you a knowing smile
I'd tell you I'd stay with you
but that I'd have to go home in a while.
Neither of us drove then
we had our parents cart us around
that didn't seem to bother us though
or put our spirits down.
You meant the world to me
I found my soulmate in you
hurt to know I'd have to set you free
after all we had been through.
High school was approaching
I would be leaving you behind
even after we ended things between us
I still thought of you as mine.
I had it bad for you
you were my first kiss,my first love
to move on and find someone else
to me was unheard of.
But eventually that's what we both did
even though I thought about you all the time
about all the love we had for eachother
and our bittersweet goodbye.
It's been years since then
and I still feel the same
my friends think I'm crazy
they ask me not to say your name.
But they're not me
they don't know how deep I felt
with you I was somebody
I acted more like myself.
My heart has loved since you
my life's been full of lies and deceit
why is it that the wrong guys
are always attracted to me?
I'm hoping that you still think about me
and wonder what might've been
maybe one day we can tear down the past
and together begin again.
 
Your Definition of Love
 
To explain to you what love is
would take too much time
the concept to you is confusing
so I'll just keep on pretending I'm fine.

We keep getting closer
and you're hiding your feelings away
we used to talk for hours remember?
but lately you've run out of words to say.

In the beginning you told me
you wanted a serious relationship
that you were tired of one night stands
and being with you helped you forget.

All the pain you had in the past
it all disappeared when you met me
now I think you're getting scared
because you're in too deep.

Don't be afraid of love
embrace it,let it in
to love someone isn't a crime
to hurt them is the only sin.

My heart's telling me to reveal
how much I truly love you
but my tears won't stop
so I'll swallow them back down too.

I know you're not hurting me on purpose
but the coldness in your tone frightens me
don't shut me out now
please don't force me to leave.

I want to stay with you
to grow with you,to learn
and more than anything I need you too
kiss away all of this hurt.

Give me a sign that you care
a smile, a laugh, a touch
we've been together for so long now
don't I deserve at least that much??
 
Taking a chance......
 
The door of oppurtunity is open
and I stand in the hallway
contemplating whether I should leave
or whether I should stay.

I see you smiling
your arms open wide
I take one step closer
and slowly shut my eyes.

I clear my mind
of all my previous thoughts
I know I loved you
and that you cared for me alot.

But this feels so wrong
and too right at the same time
I shouldn't be here
I should've told you goodbye.

You don't belong to me
we are not together
she probably loves you
but I can love you better.

Your eyes meet mine
you're waiting for my choice
I try to speak
but cannot find my voice.

Instead I come towards you
and gently squeeze your hand
maybe....for just one night
I can pretend you are my man.

You kiss me
and I melt in your arms
my heart is acheing
trying to protect me from your harm.

I ignore the pain
the future is up to me and you
the door of oppurtunity is open
and I just slid on through.
 
LoVe Is MoRe ThAn.......
 
Love is more than what you feel
and more than what you say
love is not some 4 letter word
that you throw around every day.

Love is more than a simple song
more than just a gentle kiss
love isn't just a phase
it's more than all this.

Love is more than a hello
worth more than a tearful goodbye
love is more precious than diamonds
and makes you feel happy to be alive.

Love is more than a touch
more than what you see in his eyes
love is more than the stars you see
or that feeling of those butterflies.

But if love is more than all this
what exactly did you give to me
I remember feeling some of this
but it left me with nothing.

For you lied when you said you did
and you lied when you said you cared
because if you ever wanted this to be
you'd somehow find a way to be there.

And you're not, not anymore
you ran so far out of my life
into the open arms of another
and left me with these tears to dry.

To be brave is what I wish
brave enough to send you this
and to tell you that your companionship
is what I truly miss.

When it comes to love, you knew nothing
but I do admit that in the beginning it was true
have you ever heard that saying do onto others
as you would them to do onto you?

One day I hope you fall for someone so fast
and so hard that you can't even breathe
and when you remember the pain that you felt...
remember you gave that feeling over and over to me.
 
LoVe HuRtS
 
I have been waiting for far too long
to simply touch your face again
a few months ago you broke my heart
only now is it starting to mend.

I don't mention you as much anymore
but you're never erased from my memory
all I have to do is just my eyes
and I can picture you so vividly.

The words I love you hurt to remember
they play over and over in my head
why was it me, not the other girl
that you walked all over and mislead?

I once had your picture next to my bed
and look at it while we talked on the phone
to me it feels like years ago
back to when I felt not so alone.

I miss feeling those butterflies
or a simple gesture like holding hands
to be a part of someone else's world
I thought maybe you would understand.

You turned your back on me
and left my heart broken in two
bitter is what you made me become
all I ever wanted was to be loved by you.

It hurts when I remind myself
that I will never see you again
but what kills me is the fact
that I can't even call you my friend....

What Happened To Me?
 
I feel a sense of lonliness
beating softly inside my heart
I stand here beside the ocean
wondering when my life fell apart.

It was when I first met you
that changed me forever inside
but you no longer remember me...do you?
you never even told me goodbye.

Incomplete is what I am
I don't know how to change that
how do I get that smiling girl
and her happiness back?

Love is all I ever asked for
to find someone to fulfill me
part of me believed it was you
causing my feelings to run too deep.

I can't pretend for I'm not like you
because in my heart you still exist
I can still close my eyes now
and conjure up the taste of your kiss.

As these months go by
I still take you wherever I go
I know it's not right
but I'm so scared of being alone.

You weren't the one for me
even though it was what you said
I don't want to know all the other lies
you fed to keep me interested.

I just want to remember us the way we were
young, happy, and carefree
god...it's been so long since I've felt that alive
what exactly happened to me??
 
Come Back
 
I start to cry
watching you talk to her
can't we go back
to what we once were?
You once loved me
or was that all a lie?
I don't understand then
why you let me in your life.
I see you reach out
and gently touch her hair
I remind myself not to look
but I can't help the way I stare.
Just a little over a week ago
it was me that you touched
what did I ever do to you?
did I not care enough?
I never knew if your feelings
were as true as you claimed
but I'm willing to believe you
if you admit that you feel the same.
Tell me that you love me
don't let us slip away
come back to me please
I need you now...and every day.

AcHiNg LoVe
 
Things between us are awkward now
they have been for the past week
we no longer joke around with eachother
you act so uptight around me.
We once were friends...
friends who both felt something more
why didn't things ever go farther?
we both wanted them to before.
And now whenever I try to touch you
you pull away and act so cold
flirting is no longer allowed
did your feelings for me grow old?
I'm sorry that I told you no
everytime you asked me out
I didn't know you were serious
I don't know what I was thinking about.
But I mean it now, i really do
I love you and I need you to see
that you shouldn't be with anyone else...
I need you here with me.
We would be so perfect together
you and I both realize that
so why are things suddenly so weird
can't we get the love in our hearts back?
I honestly believe that I love you
no matter what you may say or do
even if you never feel the same
I will always feel this way about you.
You were the first guy to ever
cause me to let down my guard
you made me laugh all the time...
letting go of this is too hard.
I miss you and I don't know
how to talk to you about this
all I wanted was to be more than friends
to share maybe one innocent kiss.
Now look at us, we barely even speak
and you have lost interest in me
for all those times I told you to leave me alone..
now look...it's only me whose hurting.
 
Is ThErE rOoM 4 mE?
 
I lose all my sense of reality
when I look into your blue eyes
I then step into your world
and the attraction there I can't deny.
The ground is spinning beneath me
but somehow I'm standing still
I feel you put your hand in mine
and now my heart seems fulfilled.
And I realize now how much I love you
how much I don't want you to leave
can't we freeze time....just once
what about us, what about me?
We've been dancing around this issue
for over half a year
now that I know it's ok to love you
I'm suddenly overcome with fear.
Because you control your own mind
I don't control your soul
but when you're around me
tell me..do I make you feel whole?
You make me feel so alive
I never thought I would again
and I trust you completely
you're one of my closest friends.
Should we turn around now
after we've made it this far
or will you finally allow
room for me inside your beating heart?

Though the years have passed by
still I have you forever in my heart
my first love, my first real kiss
the first one to tare my world apart.

I came across your picture today
and all the notes you used to give me
I held the necklace you bought in my hands
ignoring the tears streaming down my cheeks.

I lied when I said I got over you
I never have and I doubt I ever will
loved you with a force so frightening
those strong feelings I can remember still.

You were the only one who stayed with me
through all the good and bad times
whenever I asked you to call me
you never once asked why.

You were loyal, you were true
pure honesty was what you gave me
so when you said it was over....
it was more than a little surprising.

I wanted to end my life
cried more tears than I ever have before
didn't understand you when you said
that we couldn't be together anymore.

You told me that you would love me forever
and thats what's kept my heart alive
I'm waiting till the day
I have you back in my life.

And if that day never comes
if you decide that you must move
know that I love you so much
even if your love for me is gone.

You taught me what love was
and you showed me how to cry
I know I should get over this....
but I'm not quite ready to say goodbye.
