Let’s rewind the clock
When it was just me and you
Let’s take it back
To when I didn’t have a clue

We were two crazy kids in love
And they said we’d last forever
But who were they to know you’d found
A secret hidden treasure

“X” marked the spot that led you to the bar
And a redhead named Denise
She knew all the right things to say
And made your heartbeat increase

Had it been a one night stand
I may have been able to forget
But when you snuck off every night
You lost my respect

We’re separated now
And I heard she left you hangin’
But don’t think you can call me up
That ship has done gone sailin’

I’ve got a new man now
And he’s everything I wished for
I wanted to say thanks for the heartache
And I don’t miss you anymore

He gives me reason for being...
... Is that what you expected to hear?
Another lovesick poem, of a girls love revealed?

Not today, my sweets
I don’t need a man to be happy
Sorry if you wanted to hear, something a little bit more sappy

I’m strong and independent
I can manage on my own
I don’t mind the hours, spent single and alone

Now would I like a man?
Of course, you silly goose!
But I won’t whine and pass the time, pining for my zeus

If only there were more like me
Who acted more mature
And didn’t pause to wonder, what would give them more allure

Just live your life!
And your true love will come along
Perhaps we should put this message into a catchy song :o

So we set it on fire
Step back and watch it burn
Let the smoke fill the sky
And make the world learn

We will not be forgotten
Born into this broken world
We will rise above
We will not be deterred

The young and the dying
The hope of tomorrow
We’ll command our armies
Of heartbreak and sorrow

We’ll remind you who we are
We’ll storm into the streets
We’ll capture your attention
And steal away your peace

We’ll march to the beat of our hearts
The ****** and the broken
We’ll show our strength in numbers
And speak the words unspoken

Our only hope is this:
To awaken your compassion
For in this place of pretend perfection
There’s life you can’t imagine

You know she’d wait forever
A grin lighting your face
Drop your bag on the front step
Take a deep breath and reach into space

With a knock on the door
You announce your presence
Your finally home
You can taste her essence

The door swings open to reveal a man
Dark hair and light eyes
Can I help you, he says
Confusion sparks to life

I’m sorry I must have the wrong house
You say with a smile
He nods his head and backs away
When you see the tiny child

She grips her mother’s leg
And your eyes climb above
Where you meet her dreamy gaze
And your heart stills with a thud

Her lips parted gently
And her hair laying loose
A hand rises to her throat
And you resist the urge to accuse

The man looks between you two
And asks what is the matter
Silence is his only answer
And your world slowly shatters

Tear your gaze from her tear filled eyes
And shake your head goodbye
Nothing friend, I just miss my love
And turn your back on her cry

Leave the world you knew behind
As her desperate shouts haunt your mind
But keep on walking just the same
And they said love was blind

See the ship on the horizon
A silhouette against the setting sun
Aboard you know he waits for you
Fight the urge to jump and run

Feel your heart hammer against your ribs
And the soft breeze stroke your cheek
As the ship rests at dock
You hurry along the beach

Sailors pass you right and left
And you feel the panic set in
When suddenly you spy the captain
And his look of sympathetic chagrin

Shake your head as you hear the words
“There was an accident….”
No, no this can’t be!
Though the truth is evident

Stumble down along the sand
The waves lap against the shore
Erasing the footprints of your past
And your hopes for what lied in store

Fall to your knees and cry
Your world ended in a second
With every sob you slowly die
And pass into legend

I am who I am
There’s nothing else to say
I’m living my life
On the edge of the fray

I used to try and blend
Into the sea of lies
But I stepped out to the side
No veil before my eyes

I am who I am
There’s nothing else to say
I’m living my life
On the edge of the fray

You can try to push and pull me
But I know where I stand
Try to knock me down
But I will withstand

I am who I am
There’s nothing else to say
I’m living my life
On the edge of the fray

When the rest of the world
Is dressed in solemn black
I’ll wear a brilliant red
And stand out from the pack

I am who I am
There’s nothing else to say
I’m living my life
On the edge of the fray

I know what I believe in
And no you can’t sway me
Don’t bother to reform me
I will not bow down gently

I am who I am
There’s nothing else to say
I’m living my life
On the edge of the fray

Be who you want to be
Whether it’s a follower or a leader
But would it be so bad
To simply just be neither

I am who I am
There’s nothing else to say
I’m living my life
On the edge of the fray

Drowning in a sea of disbelief
Just can't conceive what you've done to me
What did I do to earn such grief
It's breaking me apart, I'm tearing at the seams

Nothing hurts me more
Than seeing you in the arms of that stupid *****
What the hell was I thinking when I thought you cared
You never gave a **** about the memories we shared

I gave you all I could but I guess that didn't cut it
What more do you want from me you greedy little nitwit

What was first a numbing pain, is now a raging fire
You think that little ***** will quench your desire?

Trust me, love, you'll miss me, and this is how I know
You love the thrill of the hunt and the prize at the end of the show

She'll sneak around behind your back, like you did mine
She'll give you lists and excuses till her story is a web of lies

Haven't you heard, karma's a *****?
Keep that in mind for the next girl you ditch
