FRIENDSHIP AND LOVE
If you want your love to last
When all the dreams are past
When excitement dies away
And routine's here to stay
Ferme tes yeux.
imagine le pire.
si ce n'est pas elle
avec quelqu'un d'autre,
Laisse-la partir.
T'as le droit de quitter
n'importe quelle relation où tu ne te trouves pas,
T'as le droit de quitter
toute histoire où tu ne t'aimes pas,
Mais n'importe où tu vas,
n'importe quand t'y vas,
Si ça te blesse,
Shiver down your spine,
Voices on a cold breeze that blows over the hills.
You said you'd stay for them, for me
Please make me a promise, make us a promise.
They talk about the view from halfway down
You hold an entire galaxyWithin your eyes.Shooting stars becoming tearsThat run down your face.
I Just pray that you will stay
You know I'm not good with words ,but I have to express it in some way
I'm just hoping that our time will be forever
Even forever means never
I'm sorry I look desperate
I did not know who I was
There were things I enjoyed
But none took up much more than my peripheral-
I was fixated on how and when I would leave.
One day, he walked into my room-
Forever,
That’s all I want.
Nothing stays in this fast paced world,
All I ask is that you stay with me.
Grace be that flower and how she glistens.
Your eyes sift along and you don't see truth,
It's not about the grace but who listens.
She will need you to see through to the youth;
A poem for the days that you feel so alone
the days you feel lost even when you are home
A poem for nights when your tears pierce your pillow
when your head hangs low like an old weeping willow
I know its been a whileit's getting latebaby just stay a whileplease just wait
hear me out girl
its been a yearfull of heartache and hardshipsI lost life thenbut you kept me alive
Before I Stay
September 5, 2018 ~ Wednesday
What if I put right what I got wrong
And I put it into a song
What if you should decide
Practice what you preach ,keep your peace
Forgive and forget don't hold on to regret
Fight for what is right but dont fall asleep angry tonight
So close I could almost taste it.
Yet, all along, I knew I'd be scared to face it.
The thing I'd been chasing
The one I'd been craving.
Yeah, I'm scared to face it. It's a paradox
A pandora's box
So close I could almost taste it.
Yet, all along, I knew I'd be scared to face it.
The thing I'd been chasing
The one I'd been craving.
Yeah, I'm scared to face it. It's a paradox
A pandora's box
I wanted him to stay.
But Time would not allow it
For he does not trust me. Not anymore.
As I am a creature of hell.
I know no death nor life. Only pain.
The ones who walk away Are the ones who don’t care,They can’t be bothered to.
You are the blood in my veins,
The only way I would let us part,
Is if I cut my skin and let you out.
I hide my body,
And decorated my soul,
I don't put doormats or door signs,
That says "welcome" anymore,
I got rid of all the dodders,
And sowed seeds of dreams in my chest,
Will you ask me to stay?
I don't know what went wrong,
We were supposed to last long.
I tried my very best,
But you ended up just like the rest.
Your caption stated
"I'm the type to wake up
and say you never happened "
And oh how I wish I was that type.
Oh how I wish I could forget the
mental pictures I took of you
oh how I wish I could
I rode her back
As a real man would.
A stallion can feel their rider
Lift their feet and fall into
their back.
I could feel her
bossom but only that as her
Hoofs crashed against
Please stay
I've watched as the things that I loved fell away
And sometimes I struggle to make it through every day
If you weren't an ocean away, would that be the difference to make you stay?
If you got on one knee and put a ring on my fourth finger, would that be enough to make you linger?
It didn't take too much
To bring me down to my knees.
To leave me laying on the floor
Covered in bruises and blood.
To leave me laying alone in the dark.
So here I stay on the floor,
Does he remember
The smiles
He once brought to my face?
Does he remember
The way
Our hearts would race?
Does he remember
The sparks
That once flew so freely?
i am not a hotel. don’t pack your bags only to stay a week or twodon’t come to me only when you need somewhere to get away from everythingi am not a hotel.i am a home.let me be your home.
Stare at the stars,
Wondering who we are,
And why we are lost.
How is it possible to be ourselves,
When we are unsure of who we are?
How can we live to their expectations?
I love you more than the wolf loves the moon
And than the greedy love the money
I love you more than the musician love their music
And the plants love the water
I love you more than the sky loves the stars
I'm used to being dead last,
I'm used to being in the past,
I'm used to being last kid picked
and bottom of the heap.
I'm used to being "come here."
I'm used to being "go away."
I want you in my life
Read between the lines
Behind this words I hide
The truth I keep inside
Would I be asking for too much if I asked for your understanding? In this day and age, when times pace isn't good enough and tolerance is at an all time low, can you spare a bit of patience?
Every answer is a lie,
Every night it all unfolds.
Only when I'd rather die
Is when the truth is told.
Every answer is one I hide,
It scares me more than you know
Because when I search,
I hope I forget your eyes
And that I couldn't look way.
I hope I forget your smile
Because it makes me wish you'd stay.
I hope I never call you
When its late and I can't sleep.
Your not real to me, your just a dream
without a tear i can think of you no more
your slipping away
why won't you stay?
your happy now-with her
im just in the way
your always on my mind
Hands
Of him to invade me to intrude to be ill mannered and uncouth to me
Hands
Dating the clock so faithful so diligent so painless so fast so slow
Hands
I wanted you to stay
Once you arrived, of course
What we had, went astray the minute it sparked
You promised;
Promised me a happily ever after to
A fairytale,
We never even started
He is the ocean, the calming blue sea,
teaming with vibrant life,
and miles and miles of open space
I love the taste of sugar, but your lips taste better
You glisten in the sunlight, but I will take you in any weather
Maybe one day I will find someone
who doesn't see right through me
Change the path he's walking
Blood drips above your lips
Your heart beats in hyper drive
We’ll reach the sky when it is dawn
You’ll never cry because I’m never gone
Seek out the meadows
Upon this day
Into the night
Come out upon my sight
As silent as a ghost
Everything is beautiful when you're around
I wonder how long you'll stay
I don't ever want you to go
this void, this emptyness inside.
what'd you expect of me?
i'm an empty vessel with out a soul.
I can't make through this pain
give up
You'll never find a job
man just give up
Don't try harder next time
There is no hope for you
give up
Won't you stay the night?
To call me your "short-haired beauty" again.
To stay up all night with me and talk.
To tell me things of your past, present, and future.
To hug me, maybe kiss me.
Cold breeze bugging me,
But the warmth from your skin
Is tugging at my broken heart from never being held
But you held me, oh, you held me
Little asks of where should we
And heat upon my cheeks
The more I think, the more I wish I, pushed stop then hit rewind.
I wish things would just go back to the way they were,
I was indeed happier and felt your smile next to mine.
A woman of Black gold, gave birth to an olive child,
Strong and mighty was she to stand by a father who stood to just pretend.
Made sure her little peice of hope in this world was warm, fed, and fast asleep everynight
Give me your hand.
You feel that vibration in my chest?
That's called a heartbeat,
and as long as that machine
is pumping that red matter through my veins,
it goes through to my brain,
With grace and power she stands there
Light soothing hands with a maternal touch
Gentle eyes that cut through glass and fair hair that falls upon her shoulders
Dependable, she is everyone's crutch
The sole of the shoe is burnt brown
The body of it is crushed red
These shoes pound the ground
Running away, looking ahead
Momma always used to say, “God laughs at the plans you make.”
But that was just a chance I had to be willing to take.
Empathetic, kind-hearted, containing the true values of life
I once met love at the front door!
And, when I glaced it's direction
Love, beautifully, smiled back at me.
That was love. My first sight!
I became instantly drawn to love.
when the Sun is alive
so am I
the unimaginable dream is mine
fog will remain in my path
but fire in my eyes, boldly.
there is a dawn that rises
unshakeable and endless
like the core of soul
Why I write? I write because you told me to
Because you encountered history and literature but never met a pen or page
Why did you have to love me?
I can promise you that it’s nothing against you. But, I turn away because I keep love close, maybe too close, and I think that I will only remember and love you.
Death was not an angelWith dark and spindly wingsAnd charcoal fabric- a shadowy face
It's eyes did not glow redWhen it trotted through the doorIt's short claws clicked,dull, against the linoleum
How heavy is the shadow you cast
Burning pages of riddles past
We never feel like we've grown
Until we see our reflection in the world we know
I am desprate to know when the end is near
I was running so far, taking guidance from the North Star,
knowing full well i was not up to par.
for me there was no holding anothers hand, no one to help me understand.
I'll call you in the morning, so you know that I'm alive.
For I might die while I'm asleep, when darkness covers my eyes.
For when you are not with me, I'm drowning in the sea.
We often try so hard
For things to remain the same
Like a secret moment created just for you
Frozen in time
A memory we constantly return to
Taking comfort like a warm blanket
