Beautiful Eyes

The first day I saw him,
I didn't know what was going to happen.
He was one among the crowd,
Not at all different!

The second day I saw him,
There was something different.
He was not the same person,
Turned unique all of a sudden!

The third day I saw him,
He looked into my eyes!
I stood transfixed in his gaze,
In my stomach were butterflies.

The fourth day I saw him,
He looked in my eyes again.
Silent words were exchanged
between our gaze.

The fifth day I saw him.
I went up and asked,
Have we met before somewhere?
Or are we related from the past?

He shook his head
And here's what he said!

Yes my love, we met in our past life!
We were two souls that became one.
In life and death we were together,
And again here we've come! 

I turned my head and walked away,
Taking a silent oath
not to look at him the next day!

The sixth day I saw him,
Those beautiful eyes looked in mine again.
It felt like we'd known each other forever
speaking of pasts and future.

That day I knew we're meant to be.
Whether it comes true or not,
We'll just have to wait and see!

For now all that I know,
Those beautiful eyes are in what I'm lost!
So just remember that if you don't find me,
In his eyes, lost I will be, conversing silently!
lo

A Broken Heart

How do I mend a broken heart?
My entire world has fallen apart.
How do I find hope in a brand new day,
when the one I love has gone away?
My mind overflows with memories of you,
of all that we've shared, all that we knew.
I long for your touch and your warm embrace,
the look in your eyes, the smile on your face.
My dreams are filled with your soft gentle kiss,
I wake and cry for all that I miss.
How do I mend a broken heart, 
when my one true love and I are apart?
My heart knows to love only you, it won't let go, what do I do?
Our moments together were precious and few,
but I cherished them all more than you knew.
I love you, my angel, and always will.
I loved you then and I love you still.

Demons of Darkness

She stood on the bridge In silence and fear 
For the demons of darkness Had driven her here 
They cut her heart  
Right out of her chest 
Making her believe 
That the demons knew best 
They were always there 
Sometimes just out of sight 
Waiting in the background 
 Till the time was right 
These demons were destructive 
Knocking down the life she knew 
Hating everything about her She hated herself too 
These demons can't be seen
 But they're far from fairy tales 
They live inside your mind 
Their evilness prevails
 So on the bridge she stood
 About to end the fight
 Then she stopped and thought I'll fight them one more night

Father You Weren'T There So I Cried

Father today I was born as I look at the faces of all the doctors and Nurses and my mother. You weren't there I cried.

Father today is my first day of the third grade. My grandparents and mother and sister hug me and say good luck. You weren't there. I cried

Father today I'm up getting my diploma. As they call my Name and I walk up and look in the Audience and my Family and friends cheer. You weren't there. I cried.

Father today I get married to the love of my life. As we say our vows and kiss and turn to our family and friends. You weren't there. I cried.

Father today I had my first child as I hold her and everyone is gathered around me and my husband patting us on the back and hugging us and holding the baby. You weren't there I cried.

Father today we lay you to rest. We stand around your grave and keep our heads bowed. As my family leaves I lay a rose on your grave and get on my knees and talk to you. You're finally there to listen to me and be there, but still I cried.

Broken Promises

Broken promises and sad goodbyes you left me standing all alone with tears in the well of my eyes.
In the blink of an eye, you turned your back and walked away;
often I wonder if I'm the reason you didn't stay.
Everyday I dream of how perfect my life would be if you were here.
You could be my everlasting shield and protect me from all my fears.
Or whenever I'm down you would hold me in your arms and wipe away my tears.
But deep in my heart I know it will never be;
that you would walk back into my life and never leave me.
Birthdays, Graduations, Prom:
you've missed it all.
And it hurts so much because you didn't even bother to call.
The truth is I need you here in my life. 
When I get married, I want you there to give me away to become a wife. 
And when I graduate I want to see that look of satisfaction on your face. 
I don't want another man to take your place.
For there's nothing I want more in this world than to just be daddy's little girl.

Fake a Smile

Everyday I see people
On the news
Having been bullied
Or are alone and abused
I know that their lives
Leave them so sad
Or maybe just tired
Lonesome
Mad
And I know next to them
With all of their life problems
I have nothing to complain about
So I must have no sorrow
But if that is so
Why do I feel so empty
Like someone has left
Left me only a penny
But if that is so
Why do I feel so lost
Traveling in circles
To big of a cost
And if that is so
Why am I so depressed
I feel like life's not worth living for
I don't know what comes next
Then I ask myself
"What happens now?"
Fake a smile
Find a way down

Broken

If I turned around and walked away, would you notice I'm gone,
Would you even care?
When you look at me, do you see the smile on my face,
Or do you see the tears I fight to hold inside?
Do you see a strong, willful woman I portray,
Or the scared little girl who never quite goes away?
If I broke down and lost all control,
Would you know how to handle me,
Would you hold me 'til I stop shaking,
Kiss away all of my tears?
Would you know how to lift me up
From a place far below recognition?
You see a sexy, loving woman,
But I'm so much more.
I'm sad,
I'm lonely, 
I'm unpredictable,
I'm broken,
I'm irrational,
I'm complicated.
You say you want me,
But you don't even know.
You see who I let you see,
Who I've always let you see,
But what about the real me,
The everyday me,
The girl who never seems to get anything right
The one who could break down at any given moment
And have no clue why.
I try so hard to fight away my doubts
For a while they bury themselves away,
So far away that I think they're gone forever,
But I guess nothing lasts forever,
Because the pain and tears always find their way back to me.
Can you handle me,
Can you handle ALL of me?
Am I worth the time,
Do you really love me enough
To stand by me through all my troubles,
Or am I just too broken for you?

Change

Scared confused mindless clone,
Delving deeper into the unknown,
my heart is bruised my soul crumbled
The deep despair of lovers rumbled.

Control abuse delete forget
Feelings once shared are now reset
The chains you hold are now released 
My soul is free my mind deceased.

What once was hate is now empowered 
for this empty shell to be devoured
Your need for me has been replaced
My thoughts of you have been disgraced

The time has come to change the pace
Look ahead, erase, embrace
The change has come upon my sorrow
The tears will wait until tomorrow.

Alone In My Head

Alone in my head,
I'm feeling so low,
You won't understand,
No one can know.

My eyes are so tired, 
I can't sleep at night,
Your face haunts my dreams,
When I turn out the light.

It happened so suddenly, 
It happened so fast,
I knew all at once, 
That none of this would last.

Was I just a game?
Was this all just for fun?
Did my feelings matter, 
To anyone? 

"This didn't mean anything",
That's what you said,
As I was so shamefully,
Getting up from your bed.

I held my head high,
As I walked by your side,
Tears welling up,
I was dying inside.

Weeks have passed,
Keeping secrets, telling lies, 
I don't have the strength, 
To look either of them in the eyes. 

My heart has been broken,
Not once, but twice,
Once by my best friend,
Once by the love of my life.

Deep down inside,
I know it's my fault,
So I'm just going to lock it, 
Away in my vault. 

Sometimes I still think of you,
When I'm lying in bed,
Still all alone,
Inside of my head.

Depression

Depression is running through my head,
These thoughts make me think of death,	
A darkness which blanks my mind,
A walk through the graveyard, what can I find?
Black shadows walk in between the graves,
How many lives have not been saved?
Six feet under if not more,
How I'd like to go down and explore,
The feeling of lying in a box,
I can't get out, is it locked?
Is it day or is it night?	
Are birds singing or have bats taken to flight?
I know one day this is where I'll go,
Am I afraid? I don't think so!
Will I be able to explore the feeling of death?
After I've taken my last breath?
Or will I be a shadow in between the graves?
Will I know how many lives have not been saved?
After this life is there another one?
With a different moon and a different sun,
I won't go to hell as I'm already there,
A place full of sadness, a place full of despair,
So there's nothing to live for, no future no past,
So I might as well end it, end this life at last.
