Statue to StatueYou cannot tease me with your golden eyes,
You cannot charm me with your silver tongue,
For you are made of bronze,
And I am made of steel.

Never Let GoLook, my darling, past the trees and sky
It can barely be seen with your little eye
But I know in your mind, it burns so bright
It's presence lives in you day and night

As we grow older, it fades to grey
And all the memories made slowly slip away
Don't let that be you, no matter how hard it seems
Never let go of the land of your dreams

EyesI look into your eyes,
And see much more,
Than that blank stare,
I see happiness, joy, tranquility,
Anger, angst, dread,
But most of all,
I see love,
Love for the world,
Love for your life,
But most of all,
Love for me.

BeastAre you scared of me, Dear?
Am I the monster you always said I wasn't?
Is my sweet smile now an ugly sneer?

Scared? Frightened? Horrified?
Am I the beast in the dark to you?
Am I no longer the Goddess you glorified ?

Do you fear the words that come from my lips?
Scared to see me at night?
I come no matter what. New moon or eclipse.

Let me show you tonight,
Of the beast you created.
From the hell of the morning light.

You think I wanted you to be scared?
I had promised to never hurt you,
Because of all the memories we shared.

My heart was not to clever,
Which made us, Beast and Beauty
And you, are something lost to me

Beside MeThere I wake up
And you're there with me.
I'm not feeling well
And I want to sleep
But you help me up.

You make me feel better
Because you care for me.
I look a mess
But you don't care.
You still think I'm beautiful.

We go to the computer,
My new residence,
And I look for the guy I yearn.
Still nothing.
But I have you.

Perhaps that's all I need.

I Want You GoneMy life is in a spin,
I'm moving way to fast.
Please stop before I hit the ground.

My head is spinning in circles,
And I just feel like dying.
Please help me before I lose my mind.

You're in my head,
And I want you out.
I won't let you bring me down.
I'm going to stand on my own two feet.

This is my life, not yours,
So stop trying to live it.

I want you gone,
And out of my life for good.
Don't bother with me because I'm not interested.
Go live your own life,
And get out of mine.

You better brace yourself,
Because I'm about to lose control,
It's you left,
Before you do something wrong.

My life is in a spin,
All because y

I WonderWill I ever tell you, I wonder,
How you make me feel?
It's doubtful at best
For I don't even know
Who you are
I may have clues
But do I really want to know?
Yes, of course I do
Just the thought of you
Passing through my mind
Fills my heart with joy
I want to dance with you
Sing with you
Let you in my heart
And hope you want the same
But I'm not sure
If I have the courage
To tell you
Or even figure out who you are

Hanging by a MomentI will always wonder what she was thinking that day.
Though I wasn't the kindest or bravest,
Nor was I the smartest or most charming,
For some reason, on that day, she chose me.

I was plenty surprised to say the least;
Certainly with her charm, beauty and wits,
She could have had anyone in the world,
And yet she choose me, a spoony poet.

It was as if an occult hand swooped from
The heavens and turned her gaze towards me,
For it could have only been divine work,
To make me worth an angel's attention.

Here I am, clutching to that memory,
Hanging by a moment.

The First Kiss.We both lay there
On top of the bed,
And I lean over
To kiss your head.

You look up and smile
And you tell me no,
I must wait
Just a little while

So I sit there and think
With my arm around you,
As you look up and blink
I smell your perfume.

Each time I smell it
It's like the worlds set in stone,
And every time you laugh
You make my heart roam.

I want to kiss you
In a sensitive way,
So I kneel down before you
Then I grab you and sway.

I put my hands on your waist
Then lift you up,
And I place my lips onto your lovely
And most delicate face.

Better Than I Know MyselfI take a look in the mirror,
And I see this person.
She's me, the real me.

Pressing my hand against the glass,
It feels like she's actually real.
Like I could reach in,
And take her hand.

She knows my secret, my fears, my dreams,
She knows what I have been through,
Because she's been there too.

She's strong, and confident,
Everything I hide on this side.
She's the only person, who knows me,
Better than I know myself.

She's fallen, rose above,
She's been scared, loved, sad,
And so much more.

She lets me see who I have become,
And she knows that scars that I have carried.
I guess you could say she's my best friend.
I know sh

My Heart, My ChoiceEvery person that I've met
Would tell me that I get no respect
From the beautiful girl that I like best
So they'll laugh at me till I get upset

It's hypocrisy at its best
Since people who call me friend, I'll have to detest
And their ignorant guess are causing me stress
Because some of it gets in my head, but I've left few without breath

They'll not choose the directions I'll take
Because now I know what's real and what's fake
They just can't understand the feeling I've obtained
They want to remove the happiness that I've gained
But my heart is true, so I will never be changed

Reaching Out.I'm reaching out with my hands
Expecting you my love to embrace me,
But when I close my hand and see that you
Have not yet grasped on,
It hurts.

With every time I open my hand
To this painful empty feeling,
It tears this hole in my heart open
Letting it fill in with sadness,
And letting it become deeper.

So I let my nails grow out
Not expecting for anyone to latch on,
Continuing to grasp this desolate air
I find my self falling down in despair,
But then I see you reaching out
To grab my lonely hand out from the dark,
But alas I cut you,
I lost the sense of caring,
My nails and my heart,
Have become too sharp for this hand

Nothing like the First LoveThere's nothing like the first love
And those early signs of bliss
Where heartache's still unheard of
And all you lust for is a kiss

When we're still so innocent and pure
Think with love, this world, we cure
But we're just so immature
Gave our hearts away without really being sure

There is nothing like the first love
No one could ever take their place
We may come across pure beauty
Only to find perfection in their face

Glistening,ever-changing eyes
And the thickness of their lips
Combine to form a perfect smile
Leave our hair standing on its tips

Nothing like the first love
Even if one day we grow apart
We will always keep t

Love and LossIn these bright blue depths
Swimming with mystery
Memory upon memory
Rising to the surface
As I look into your eyes.

That night,
Deep in our history,
Each kiss bringing us closer
To the true definition of love.
Spiritual; our bodies and minds united
The morning light our only hindrance
The only shadow to our happiness.

But now as we stand face to face,
Our mutual presence
Sparking the same images to appear,
The same lines to be heard
In our pained minds
Old, forgotten words
Meaningless to others
But send us into a different world
A world devoid of happiness
A world filled with misery

Half of my heart aching in longing
C

They say love is unconditionalThey say love is unconditional,
A family's love,
The love of a soul mate,
The love for a dear animal.
But love is only unconditional
If trust and hope stand together side by side.
If they are together,
The love will last forever.
But if I cannot trust,
And I cannot feel hope,
The love is doomed.

Run Or DieRun and hide
The demon is breaking out
And about to be on a rampage
So watch your back
You may be next
This could be your day to die
And you just don’t know it
So run
Now.

Let's GoWoke up on the wrong side of the bed
I’m in a smart ass mood
Really
It’s nothing new
But today is a day
I won’t take any shit from you
So don’t even try
To push me to that point
I’m so ready to blow
I will eat you up and spit you out
And won’t even give a damn,
So run
For your life
And stay away from me.

Now ReallyYou think you can be random
And try to get over on me
But I don’t know you
You don’t know me
So why start shit you can’t explain
So come on
On really
How old are you?
That was high school drama
And I gave up that a long time ago
So grow up
Get over your self
Move on
And go the hell away.

Is this Really You?

Your happiness
Is due to my sadness
Seeing me sad
Makes you glad
Your heart is so cold
And you only know how
To act bold,
That is how the story will be told.
