As I am writing this
I wish these words weren't true
But I must say
I can not love you

You have broken my heart
And thrown it in the dirt
Thank you for showing me
How much love can hurt

I gave you my heart,
My love, my trust
But as soon as I was out of sight
Your love has turned to dust

The promises of waiting
And always loving me
Have seemed to disappear
To leave me in agony

I told you I would love you
Until the day I die
I have kept my promise
Even when you lied

No longer do I keep silent
You have caused me too much pain
I feel you have betrayed me
When I was only beginning to love again

I'm not sorry for loving you
Though I feel I shouldn't have
It seems my perfect angel
Is still waiting for me above

No more tears will fall from my heart
For the mistake of loving you
This much so far I say my dear
That from this day is true

I can't forget about you
But remembering is killing me
Goodbye my use to be angel
You don't have to worry about me

Stand brave my soldier boy
For your home and country
Stand strong my soldier boy
For my weak heart

Sing loud my soldier boy
So I may hear you in the night
Listen hard my soldier boy
I sang a song for you

Shoot straight my soldier boy
Protect me from harm
But shoot not, my soldier boy
When it need not be done

Let your heart beat my soldier boy
To the beat of a thousand hearts
Let your heart beat, my soldier boy
For your loved ones at home

I miss you my soldier boy
For too long you have been gone
I miss you my soldier boy
For home does not feel like home

Come home my soldier boy
When the fighting is done
Come home my soldier boy
To hear our wedding bells' song

Like the lives that only live for the love they haven't found
A single soul is searching for peace in the hell of lies
Like the fire burning in the pit of insanity's home
A single life is barely controlled by the bounds of being alone

Like dreams that only dreamed of the dark called death
A single shadowed dance gave life to her last breath
Like the sun setting fire to the earth when it leaves
A single brightened glance gave her peace when she last breathed

There are lives that only live for the love they haven't found  
But still their broken hearts are too shy to make a sound.
There are fears that only frighten when the soul is bound
And only a single fear could always make her drown

There are dreams that only dream of the dark called death
But only a single tear will echo her life long debt
There are songs only sung when one draws their last breath
And then a single weeping child is all that is left

If I can stop one heart from breaking
I shall not live in vain.
For the heart asks pleasure first
And then excuse from pain.

I like a look of agony because I know its true.
It says I am nobody, who are you?
Its says I am a poor torn heart,
A tattered heart.

Poor little heart! Did they forget thee?
Proud little heart! Did they forsake thee?
Frail little heart! I will not break thee.

Not with a club the heart is broken,
Nor with a stone-
Its love that deals one imperial thunderbolt
That scalps your naked soul
Found poem: composed of lines from 7 different poems by my favorite author, Emily Dickinson

Body twist, watch me close
Heartbeat thump,  don't let me go
Pressed together, move with me
Sway in rhythm, not an inch between

Hard benethe, but gentle fingers
Trace my body, the feeling lingers
Grinding harder, make me wet
Pick me up, no hesitation left

Face only a breath away
A kiss is all I have left to say
Body heaving, do what you must
Blood coursing, on fire with lust

Time stopped, she saw his touch
Heart broken, she left in a rush
Her tears falling, stealling the passion
Please don't touch me temptation

Bodies swaying
Music pounding
His body pressed to mine
I knew it was wrong
I had a girl
But I couldn't seem to stop
I couldn't stand
He sat down next to me
Leaning up against him
Muscles tensing at my touch
I look up
His face was so close
A mere 2 inches
He took my breath away
He laughed
And it was perfect
Soft yet deep
My heart was beating so fast
I looked up again
Our lips almost met
And then she came
But this time
When she kissed me
She didn't take my breath away

A thousand voices combined in harmony
Rise higher, brighter, stronger,
Lifting my soul till my spirit sings

A timpany triumphs over the trumpet's cries
While the trills of the golden strings
Cascade from the skies

A crecendo vibrates and shakes with power
Flowing unheeded through my life
No moment passes when my eyes do not smile

Every fear is the last I was holding
Every sense is alive in love
Every light is bright and golden
Every breath is a new life begun
