Twinkling Christmas lights
Brighten up December nights

Freezing cold air
Wind tousling my hair

Raindrops turn to snow
Putting on a beautiful show

Curled up by a fire ablaze
My favorite way to end each day

Music, laughter, and Christmas cheer
Hustle and bustle as the holidays near

You are the notes to my staff
Together we create music
That transcends languages
Tickling the ears
And strumming the hearts
Of everyone we touch

You are the ink to my paper
Together we create stories
That will be passed down
From generation to generation
Leaving the reader filled with hope
That they too will find true love

You are the match to my fuse
Together we make fire
All it takes is one touch
For you to light me up
Shining bright
For the world to see

Oh lover!
Lie to me tonight.
Tell me a story
About us together,
Always and forever.

Before I met you

There were spaces in my head
Even my demons were scared to touch

There were parts of me so cold
Even the sun couldn’t warm

There was a side so dark
Even the stars couldn’t illuminate

You were never scared to crawl in my head, warm my heart, and light up my darkness.

Sad people always try to make those around them feel happy and loved, because they know how bad it feels to be sad and alone.

Silence speaks louder than words
You’re silence is screaming
Echoing inside my brain
“Your not good enough”

You can stop talking
I understand
I hear your silence
Loud and clear

I place my head on your chest
Let the rise and fall lul me to sleep
Feel your warm breath
Send shivers down my neck

Our legs intertwined
Your hand lost in my hair
I listen to the music
Of your heartbeat

My dreams come
To whisk me away
But I know I’m safe
Snuggled in your arms

Staring at the sky
One of my favorite pastimes
Watching the world go by

The crisp air
Biting my cheek
Wind tousling my hair

The grass is damp
Running my fingers through the soil
Forever leaving my stamp

Searching for my identity
Amongst the stars
This is where I find serenity

Everyday

I become a little more you
And a little less me
Picking up bits and pieces
Until I lose myself completely

You make:

My hands shake
My ground quake
My heart break
My head ache
My tears lake
My brain wake

In regards to promiscuity
A man gets a cheer and a clap
While a woman gets a slap
On the wrist
And a tsk tsk

Oh the double standard

I miss you
And you aren’t even gone yet
From experience
I know how this will end

One day you will find someone new
Meet someone funnier; prettier
You’ll slowly slip away
All while denying anything is wrong

When you look into her eyes
You will see a future
When you look in my eyes
You see lust and desire

There is no future for us here
so why do I let myself fall in love anyway?

Not all who watch the sunrise are curious about the action of day.

Some are cursed with no other alternative.

Either way, it’s a beautiful way to begin anew.

It’s hard not to fall
Though I’m strong
The second you call
It doesn’t take long

Your voice so seductive and calm
Lulling me into a trance
Im like clay in your palm
Soft spoken word making my heart dance

I’d give anything to taste you
Feel your breath on every inch of me
In my ear whisper all you’d do
I’d be anything you want me to be

Unfortunately you’ll never know
Just how deep my feelings go

Life is an uncanny thing
A mystery ride
Scared of what the future may bring
I’m fine, she lied

The future fills her thoughts
Why does she do this?
Will she get caught?
If she leaves what would she miss?

Her mind wanders constantly
Fantasies keep her sane
Choosing to live vicariously
Through the dreams in her brain

As she downs her wine
She whispers “I’m fine”

My soul is the night sky;
and you are the stars that light up my darkness

I’ve found comfort in knowing
No matter where you are
The many miles between
We lie under the same stars

Sometimes I try to guess
which one you’d see
If you were looking up at them
Same as me

I look to the skies
When I’m lost and blue
Trying to find myself
But all I see is you

what do you see when you look to the stars
Do you see me, or just mercury and mars

You remind me of a star
So beautiful,
But so dangerous,
I can only love you from afar

If I try to get close
You burn me alive
But without you
My sky would be empty

In the light it’s easy to pretend
But when the dark comes
it’s clear;
You light up my world

When darkness falls again
There you are
A constant reminder
Of what will never be

Something felt wrong
I told you no
But you were so strong
I had no choice

I was only five years old
When all this began
How could you be so cold
You were supposed to protect me

Let’s play a game; hide and seek
I was to hide
I wasn’t to speak
You always found me

Hunted me like prey
Ripped off my clothes
As I began to pray
Clenching my eyes

Singing songs in my brain
Keeping my mouth shut
Pretending not to feel any pain
To scared to do anything more

For years you abused me
Until one day you were caught
I was finally free
Or so I thought

The memories of what you’ve done
Haunt me every time darkness replaces the sun

She can’t let go
Of the one that makes her sad
Because he used to be
The only one making her happy

Letting go of him
Seems impossible
It will be one of the hardest things
She could ever think to do

What’s truely harder though
Is holding on to him
When deep down she knows
He will never love her back

Goodbyes always hurt the most
When the book is closed
Before she had a chance
To read the final chapter

I am so sorry
I’m sorry someone loved you badly
I’m sorry someone made you feel
Worthless, alone, and abandoned

I’m sorry someone made you feel
Like a waste of space
Unworthy of time
Unworthy of attention

I’m sorry someone made you feel
Expendable, ugly, and weak
I’m sorry someone made you feel
Afraid to love again

But tell me this
How is it justified
In your twisted mind
To do the same to me?
