I need the melody
I need the harmonies
But no
Somebody trapped my melody

They say if you're a poet at twenty
You're twenty
But, if your a poet at forty
You're a poet.

I feel like I'll never make it.
Some times I wonder why
I'm a poet,
Or more why I believe
I could be
A poet.

The only time I write
Are the days I cry myself
To sleep

Will I always have to cry
To be able to write
What's bottled up somewhere
Inside?

Will my words only come
When my heart feels broken
And my world begins to go
Black?

I hope not..

You say you won't come, but you never leave
Then say you don't care,
                                But I don't believe

Still promise a chance for me to see you soon
Just step in a dance to a song in tune
My song's made of words that lure you in
Every move filled with pure sin

You say you don't look, say you don't see
You say you won't listen,
                                But I don't believe

I join one hand with yours as the other lingers
Tracing your body with gentle knowing fingers
Listen to my voice sing a minor melody
Feel my eyes enchant you with the love you see

You say you aren't hooked, say you will leave
But you don't pull away,
                                 And I don't believe

Respond to the beauty you know you can't resist
My graceful harmonies and taunting kiss
You can't pull away for a moment, always come back to me
You might be refusing, but you know you won't leave

You said you'd never love
But you don't believe

I am not a girl in your eyes
I play basketball with the guys
I work on cars
I willingly get *****

But I don't fit in.

I am not a guy
I like dresses
I like to look beautiful
I willingly suffer in 4 inch heels

I don't fit in.

I can't cook like most girls.
I can't act like most girls
But I am a girl.. technically

I am a singer
Of any and every song that can be sung.
I am a writer
Of tales of truth and treachery
Of secrets and stories
Of love and loss
I am an artist
Or so they say

I don't fit as a guy
I don't fit as I girl
I don't fit in any one group
I fit as me

And I am the only one

And some times being the only one
Means being alone

Why are you going to Nashville?
"Business,
That's all I can tell you."

I hug tighter to his chest.
I know what ever it is
I shouldn't know.
I can pretend I don't.
But I know he won't be safe tonight

I look into his eyes
Endless blue skies filled with love
Gaze back at me

"Be careful, love"
I can barely whisper
"I always am, my angel.
This won't be the last time you see me"

I attempt a laugh
"It better not, I'd **** you"
I hesitate
"or rekill you."

One last kiss.
Before he leaves
"Be good" I tell him
"I know you can't keep that promise,
But I can at least tell myself I told you"

"I love you, angel."

I love you too my Hunter..

The wind whispers through the trees
Softly singing, trying to comfort me
But no song could sing me to sleep
On a night when the stars are so bright
That they look like the lights that were in your eyes

Before everything went wrong
Once upon a time the breeze sang our song
In the moonlight we would dance along
If I fell, I was always caught in your arms
We dared the world to tell us we had to be alone

Never make a dare you can't take if it's done
Your songs will turn to empty sound
Your love will decide to turn around

Your stary nights will turn
To whispering winds and darkening skies
