Forever A Friend

That hair, those eyes, and that mysterious smile use to have an effect on me, for a little while.

But alast you weren't the real deal you were a rebound so to speak, but you can't blame me for liking you after all you were kind, funny, and sweet.

I promise you it wasn't you it was me, I still had unrequited love for HIM you see, so I put you back in the category of friends where you belonged and thanked God my little crush wasn't prolonged

You had me under your spell for one, maybe two weeks tops and then I came out of denial and all my so called 'feelings' for you just seem to stop

Don't get me wrong your a really nice person, and great friend, but your just not the guy for me, your just not him, so I guess you'll forever to me just remain a really good friend.

Life's Challenges

The world oh so bright in my eyes
Now seems to be so grey

I'm still not sure
What turn of events
Caused my world's color
To slowly but surely fade away

It's funny how one moment
Everything can be going your way
Then all of a sudden a storm starts brewing
And when lightning strikes nothings ever the same

Amusing isn't it?
How one moment you could be flying sky high
Then the next moment
You're on your face on the ground

Isn't it funny how everything around you
Even your heart can fall apart

Sweet Sin?

Your adrenaline starts to pump
And your thought process starts to haze
And the voice in your head screaming to you
Gradually starts to fade

When what you know to be wrong feels oh so right
There begins the battle between good and bad
There begins your internal fight

True the enjoyment of sin can be fun while is lasts
But never the less, it's always fleeting
Just like lightning
It comes and goes fast

The question that so many of us forget to ask is:
'Is it worth it? '
The consequences that never seem to be in plain view
But always seem to be masked

Though some of us, sin cannot conquer

The Truth Hurts

So the truth finally comes out

You finally see through all his games
And all his lies

You finally realize
That the only place he was every perfect
Was in your eyes

In that moment you realize
That every moment you shared meant nothing at all

And you've never felt like such an idiot
Or so incredibly small

And you realize
That you'd rather stay lying on the ground
Then get back up after taking that long, miserable fall

As your friends draw close to you

The Thought Of You

It actually frightens me
The though of you
Because there are countless things
That it can make me do

The thought of you can make my heart race
It can leave me restless at night
Can make me fidgety to the point where I pace

The thought of you can leave me buzzing with an unknown high
It can form a pit in my stomach
And can leave me love sick and sighing

The thought of you above all other thoughts in my mind shines
It can send shivers down my spine
And make me long for you to be mine

The thought of you can take my breath away
The thought of you from my mind never really strays

Fallen Soldiers

In the long hard battle that never seems to end
I watched each of them fall

Soldiers
Commarades
Allies
D ear sweet friends

As I watched each of them fall I thought
'not another one, no it can't be true'
But what was more devastating
Was that I seemed to be the only one who missed & mourned you

Maybe you didn't fight hard enough
Maybe you just weren't that strong

Or maybe there were signs we didn't see
Maybe you were crying out for help all along

Worst though then watching my closes allies surrender

An Almost Broken Glass Bottle

For a while now I've been afraid to say or show how I feel, so instead I go around telling people I'm tough, pretending to be made of steel

All of my feelings I shoved into a bottle made of glass, and as I shoved this glass bottle inside myself I prayed these feelings wouldn't last

The more of my feelings I shoved into it the fuller my glass bottle got, the only problem is once I started to shove all my feeling into it, I didn't know how to stop

Even if you were to ask me if I was okay I'd put on a smile and say I'm fine, even though deep down inside I know I'm lying

So here we are present day and despite my efforts to stop it, my glass bottle and I have started to crack and I know any minute now both of us are going to snap

No matter how much I wish it wasn't so, no matter how much all together I wish my glass bottle and I would stay, I know deep down that my almost broken glass bottle is any second gonna give way

My Last Breath

Awoken in the night
To find you once again in my midst

I'll never understand the control you had over me
The power you wielded enabling me to act like this

Your once oh so intoxicating presence
Began chokes me like a thick cloud of poision

But from you I just couldn't get away
Almost as if in time I was frozen

The closer you got to me
The more I choked and heaved
I can't believe that once upon a time
I was so easily decieved

Your once so soft and warm hands
That use to caress my face
Are now hard, cold, and burn my skin like fire

Picking My Poison

More and more it feels like the stresses of life are clouding me, like a thick wall of fog through which I can barely see

It feels like all this stress is strangling me, help somebody please! It feels as though I can barely breathe!

But wait while yet all this stress continues to strangle me, there is also this pounding pressure I can feel inside of me

The pressure of taking care of you, the pressure of to myself staying true, the pressure to be who you want me to be, the pressure of never making a mistake for fear that you'll never again be able to look at me

The pressure of trying to succeed, the pressure of always trying to make you proud of me, the pressure of trying to make everybody happy, little do they know that sooner or later all this pressure will finally destroy me

But even if this pounding pressure I feel inside doesn't do me in first, there's still this strangling stress that continues to choke me, and honestly I don't know which poison is worst.

The Nightmare That Set Me Free

There once was a dream I was fooled into thinking was reality

Because in that dream
You and me was something I wanted
But knew could never be

In that dream you stole my heart
And part of my sanity
In that dream my common sense
Unfortunately
Ran away from me

In that dream you captivated me
In that dream I was blinded
And the stars in your eyes
Were the only things I could see

But then that dream morphed into a nightmare
And I saw you for what you really were
