~Coming Undone~

She pulled her hair back
Put it up in a ponytail
She leaned up against
Her staircase rail

He hangs his head
And stands in the doorway
He puts his hands in his pockets
But doesn't know what to say

When you’re two of a kind
And you’re living as one
And time goes by
And it’s coming undone
You try to figure out
What it is you need to do
But you can’t figure it out
Neither of you have a clue

She laid her head
Down on her pillow
Tear stained cheeks
And her eyes were hollow

He packed his bags
And left in the night
He loved her so much
But it didn't feel right

~Moving on~

Should have listened to that advice.
Should have turned around and walked away.
Should have ran when that first sign showed up.
Should have followed my instincts.
Should have looked you right on by.
Instead I fell into that trap.
Instead I walked right into a wall.
Instead I figured out who you were, the hard way.
Instead I let myself get too deep.
Instead I ignored the advice.
Now I pretend it didn’t happen.
Now I walk with my head held high.
Now I feel my insides quaking, every time you walk by.
Now I cry in the shower at night.
Now I try to move on.
But the thought of you keeps me awake.
But the thought of you hurts my heart.
But the thought of you makes me sad.
But the thought of you makes me laugh.
But the thought of you is now a memory.
For now is the time to walk away.
For now is the time to build my walls.
For now is the time to learn my lesson.
For now is the time to get up from my fall.
For now is the time to build new memories..
This is me becoming strong.
This is me and my new life.
This is me without all your strife.
This is me and my new self.
This is me moving on.

~Nervous~

I see your name and my heart strings tighten
I hear your name and my stomach turns
I see your face and my heart starts pounding
I talk to you and my face, it burns
My palms are so sweaty
Around you I can’t breathe
My breath is so ragged
Without you I can’t breathe

~Lover/Hater~

Why is it that every time I see you
The anger in my heart, it builds
But then I look into your eyes
And the anger in my heart, it stills
How can I love and hate you
How can these feelings coexist
When every time I see you
I want to introduce you to my fist
My anger for you is to great
But my love for you is greater
I want to be your lover
Not another of your haters

~Depressed~

Why is it that even when I feel so happy
A part of me still feels so depressed
I fill my day with family and friends
I worry about the way I am dressed
Hoping and wishing that one of these days
I will truly, truly, be content
I smile and laugh away all my fears
Exhausted, all my energy spent
On hiding behind these walls I have built
My heart it feels like its broken
But with these feelings inside of me
I know that my heart is awoken

~Drama~

Please leave the drama at the door
I don’t want to hear it anymore
Keep me out of all your fights
I don’t need it, it’s just not right
I have no quibbles or qualms with thee
Let it be, just let it be

~So Close~

Living knowing you’re so close
And yet so very far away
Is like living with a knife
In my heart everyday
I make myself continue living
I make myself move on
Because even though I don’t want to be
I know that we are done
I lick my wounds in silence
My heart I will repair
And your name is written
Into every scar with care

~No More Goodbyes~

For there in the darkest recess of my mind
I find the light that you have cast
And I lift my eyes to your eyes
And you have erased all of my past
I feel your hand caress my face
You steal a kiss and turn away
I hold your hand against my heart
And hold you still and make you stay
I breathe a breath against your neck
You lean against me and close your eyes
I know now that you’re content
There will be no more goodbyes.

~No Bounds~

I shed a single tear
The sound of my muffled sob
echoed in my ear
A long sigh from deep down
Echoed all around
The splatter of my tear
Spread across the ground
I know I shouldn’t worry
I know how much you care
But still I feel it exploding
This feeling that is so rare
My heart it aches to know you
My hands, they wish to hold you
And every day I go without
Is another day I miss you
My love for you knows no bounds
I know that this is true

~Key to My Heart~

You were the key to my heart
My heart was wide open

Now you’re the one who tore it apart
And I pick up the pieces

You left me with scars
You’re name written in the cracks

The windows of my heart have bars
And loving now, is just too hard

~Insanity~

My mind is breaking
My thoughts can’t be completed
The insanity of it all
Is making me pissed
I try to play by the rules
But you keep changing them
I try to get even
But you get revenge
You take advantage of me
You wallow in my shame
And you point out my failure
To the whole world
And still I have you
To blame

~Tell Me~

Lay me down
Gently on the floor
Hold my hands
I’m begging for more
Kiss my lips
Hold me tight
Tell me you love me
All through the night
Feel me quiver
Beneath your touch
Kiss me all over
It’s never too much
Caress me gently
Pull me close
Hear my heart
It’s beat, it flows

~Midnight~

This is the time where tears may swell
This is the time where fears may dwell
In the middle of the night
Filling my heart with this plight
I turn around to see you there
Wishing, oh wishing, for you to care
Happiness escapes away from me
Loneliness is all that I can see
No hand to hold or arms to feel
My heart you came to take, to steal
And still I can’t break away
And still I ask for you to stay
Remember me my dearest one
Remember me though we are done

~Wide Open~

Here I am
An open book
All you need
Is to take a look
My heart wide open
And yours to take
But should you leave
My heart would break
