Your Heart
I want you to know:
What is there to stop?
So many creatures of the sea!
Why do...
Why?
Weary
I fear the end...

I LOVE YOU
A day has gone by without you.
In Search Of You
Sam
I don't know how to tell you
Be Honest With Me
Hey Dad, turn around...
When I first met you...
I enjoyed you
There's this boy
Broken Heart
The Jeffrey I Know Reprised!
Dad,
When you hold me tight...
LET ME FREE
Help.
Remember me.
Bad Habit
CHANGES
OUR EARTH
Mom
You said, I love you.
Something More
S-U-M-M-E-R
Be More Than Friends
You are my light...
Love is not what you call it
When I am around you...
Playing in the sizzling hot sun
I see you pass me by
Her for beauty.
Give me some time
The Boat
I am happy
Unknown love
Superman
I'm all that you'll see
Everyday I awake
Ocean Blue
I AM ME
I had a love
Caught up
All alone in this world
El amor as hermoso
I never knew
Ashamed
Hearts in Her Notebook
You pull me right, you pull me left.
My soul...

I Am Happy Animals

I am a butterfly, give some love for all.
I am a bear, I give you a little bit honey, and you can try the sweet that I feel.
I am a fish, be a special dancer in the sea, just for you, and I will dance nicely, just for you too.
I am a horse, running as fast I can to catch and find you.
I am you, all in my life, and I express it to you. Never mind. I will never forget you. I can't.
I am a girl, and you put something in my heart..
And that just a little bit broke...

And I hope, we will have a happy life with happy animals in our side. I wish...

Confused About It

Why do you do this,
You're so childish,
You say something & you admit to it,
Then later you try to deny it & apoplogize,
You need to realize what you are doing to me,
You always tell me you were meant to be,
I fall for it and believe you,
Would you stop being so cruel,
Stop playing with my head,
I wonder if you do that to the rest,
I hate the fact that you try to come back,
You already know it's not going to work,
You're just going to treat me like dirt,
I don't want you in my life,
I still remember when you tried to stab me with a knife,
This is what you get for hurting me,
I told you, you were going to regret losing me,
So just move on & let me be,
All I ever wanted is to be treated like royalty,
You did at first,
But then you started acting like a jerk,
Just leave,
And never come back to me.

AN-j, 15

Testimony of a Teenage Ditz

No longer shall the chains reside,
I've given "love" the boot!
Shall walk with dignity, and with pride...
Wait a sec...that guy is cute.

Kylie, 13

When I'm around you my whole life is good

When I'm around you my whole life is good
But when you walked away hopelessly in love I stood

I never wanted to lose you
Because I love you too much
And then you said "I'm over you"
I didn't feel touched

I wish that you would come back
Give me a second chance
But I don't beg and I don't stalk
So if you don't want to I understand

I would be so crushed
If you didn't take me back
But one day it will all be over
And that is just a fact

raiinbo0ow, 12

When I'm with you

When I'm with you
Everything is alright
I feel a lot better
I'm happy inside
When I'm in your arms
The rain turns to sun
All the bad in the world
Turns and runs
When I'm dancing with you
The world comes to a stop
Everyone disappears
Everyone but us
When you whisper in my ear
I lose all my sense
No one is around us
And the world is at its best
When you want to kiss me
I want it too
But when the song ends
You turn back into you

Tay, 13

I Love You

I love you so much I cry.
And when you ask why I'm crying
I smile foolishly and you laugh
I laugh as well, and again I try so hard
To tell you that I love you but this time was different. You say it for me and say it this way, 'when you walk away I count the steps you take and when I go to sleep you're all that I can think about so I hope you love me because if you don't I think I will cry and then I might die so say it for me just once I want to hear it from an angel so say it.' So I say it once, twice, three times until he puts his lips to mine then I start to shine and I know he will always be mine!

cassie, 12

I don't regret anything

I don't regret anything
From my past
Because our decisions make us
Who we are
And I
wouldn't want to be
Anyone else

devon, 12

Richie
Nice
Sweet

Sweet Like Sugar, Sour Like Lemons

Some days you can be as sweet as sugar,
Other days as sour as lemons.
I guess it depends on your mood. But I still love you.
Some days you can be as sweet as sugar,
Other days you're as sour as lemons.
I guess it depends on if I'm with you or not. But I still love you.
Some days you can be as sweet as sugar,
Other days you're as sour as lemons.
I guess it depends on if I say any thing at all. Just remember I'll always love you.

Jamie, 13

Your Heart

Your love is what I'm after.
Your looks are not my desire.
Your eyes are pure like the ocean blue and the light blue sky at night, when the sun goes down.
Your heart beats like a drum that sometimes beats too quick or a little too slow.
You're the spirit in the music and the mist in the fog. Your heart is my desire.
Be quick, don't be slow around me.
I know.

Lauren B. , 18

I want you to know:

I want you to know: you are the water for fish, the air I breathe, the energy I use every day. I love you.

Maliyah, 12

What is there to stop?

What is there to stop? What is there to do? You're mad at me, I'm mad at you. We both are mad but you won't cave in. I won't apologize I thought you were my friend. We both may laugh we both may cry. I know the problem so tell me why. Why are we not talking?Why are we fighting? I think there is something we are both hiding. When everything is high and on top tell me what is there to stop?

So many creatures of the sea!

Stingrays swim along the bottom of the sea,
Dolphins dance 'cause they're as free as can be.
Penguins dive from really cold ice,
Seals can do good tricks. They're nice!
Sharks look for yummy fish to eat.
The small fish are speedy, yet a tasty treat!
Squids have tentacles that are seriously strong.
The blue whale sings a wonderful song.
Polar bears appear to be tremendously large,
But in water, the walrus shall prepare to charge.
So many creatures of the sea,
Too many to name! Don't you agree?

Rena, 14

Why do...

Why
Why do people treat you wrongly
Do they even care?
Why?
Why don't they know how you feel?
Why?

depression 101, 12

Why?

Why do I choose to fall
why do I accept his call
why do I miss him when I'm away
why do I think of him night and day
How does he act as if he's sweet
why does his kiss feel so deep
I wonder about all these things and come to the conclusion
It all must be an illusion
But I continue confused
This life learn lesson of what I cannot see
But I come to find out
The reason no doubt
Is that he loves me

alysa, 13

Weary

Weary
Of not being appreciated
Not being loved
Having no joy when I'm so young
My inner smile fades with
The wisdom I obtain
But no one knows
Because I smile through my pain
My little poems are made fun of
You think only the emo kids write
Little poems at night
But this rhyme of pain
Comes from an ex-cheerleader
Don't be fooled
Everyone hides pain inside
Some more than others

Felicia, 15

I fear the end...

I fear the end
Of our friendship
That I poured my heart into
I can't let go
So I let you treat me
Like you do
When I know
I deserve better
I want you to love me
And cherish me
Like best friends do
But you're not interested in commitment
I'm way too intense
I know
Why is this?
I think it's because I'm a very broken person
I gain my esteem from the loyalty and love
Of my friends
I exposed my deepest thoughts to you
You didn't understand
I feel hurt and embarrassed
I feel uncherished
I hope someday someone
Will really love me
Stupid Joey

Lioness of the Plains

I'm sent to hunt with all the females.
Protecting the territory is the job for the males.
While in the plains, I hide beneath the grass,
I spot my prey. I won't let it pass!
I jump from the hiding spot and begin to bite.
I kill my prey using all my might.
I bring the kill home, back to the pride,
We eat our fill and put the leftovers aside.
Of course, we give some to cubs who are little.
We don't want them getting to skinny nor brittle!
While the cubs grow up, they'll learn their part.
Hunting and defending... It's just lion's art!

Jenna, 15

I LOVE YOU

I look in your hazel eyes
hoping that something will arise.
I am trying to let you know
That I love you.
With your blonde hair and your hazel eyes
You can win any girl's heart.
And that heart is mine.
I try to pretend everything is fine
But it may just be a fantasy of mine.
Is it just me you pretend not to see?
My heart is aching
and I am shaking!
I need you to know
That I love you.

lola, 12

A day has gone by without you.

A day has gone by without you.
I don't know what to do.
You broke my heart into little bits.
We had fights and threw fits.
My heart feels heavy and lonely.
Oh, if only, if only.
I miss you a lot.
Because you left me standing there in the
parking lot.
I cry and weep for you to come back.
But you just ignored it and began to pack.
You left me there all alone.
Then I saw something,
a light that shone.
Your coming back inside your car.
I knew that you wouldn't leave me standing on the tar.
You said you were sorry and wrong.
And that I was right all along.
We are back together!
What a joy!!
I missed you,
My good looking boy.

Chapyn, 12

In Search Of You

At times in life, when I stop distressed,
To find my wounds, lying undressed;
And pain is all that I can feel,
With no one around, to get me to heal.

At times in life, when I do tire;
Whose company do I admire?
I search, in vain, for a lap to lie on,
If not that, just a shoulder to cry on.

At times in life, who do I blame?
When fate plays a nasty game.
Best friends turn to bitter foes,
And leave behind a string of throes.

At times in life, when everything's good,
I'm enjoying good wine and delicious food.
Just when I have forgotten to cry,
With whom do I share this ample joy?

At times in life, when I'm trudging along,
With no one to whom I can belong;
I need nothing but love that's true,
Which is why I am in search of you!

Michelle, 17

Sam

Your name is a poem, a song
I want to dance whenever I hear your name, Sam.
I walk behind you at school wanting to touch your long golden hair, Sam.
I laugh at all of your jokes trying to make you like me, Sam.
Will we drift away as sixth grade begins, Sam?
Will all of my hard work be crumbled up?
Will you forget about me, Sam? Do you love me?

P.S.: I love you!

Love Devyn

Devyn, 11

I don't know how to tell you

I don't know how to tell you
That when I see you everything's all right
Yeah it sounds corny but it's true
I know it can't happen right now
But it will one day
This is just my way to show you how much I do care about you
and how much I live for you and how much I love you
I know sometimes I'm shy around you
Sometimes I act like I don't want you
That's just because I don't want to get hurt
I love you Josh

The confession of our love, 13

Be Honest With Me

Tell me I'm different
because you know I am
I'm not the same as all these other people you've met
I'm a completely different type of person
tell me what you think of me
if you have something to say
say it to my face
I swear
I can handle it

devon, 12

Hey Dad, turn around...

Hey Dad, turn around and tell me what you see
I'm going to yell, Dad, it's me
you look through me like I'm a ghost
you can only see my stupid brother
you always put him first
Dang, Dad, I thought I was your little girl
the one you tuck in at night
and the one that you would tell: keep your head up high
but everything's changed ever since Gordo got locked up
it's like I'm not even there
all you talk about is: how is my Gordo doing?
I know that you care for him, and so do I
but you got to realize he's not the only child in your life
I do so much so you can see me, but you don't care
Dang Dad, do I have to get locked up to to be heard?
when I cry to be heard when I yell
you don't know how bad it hurts
but one day you'll regret never listening to me
because one day I'll really be out the door
but it sucks because right now I can't walk out the door
all I can do is ignore.
I no longer have my head held up
all I do is look at the ground without making a sound
but wait Dad, look at me before I leave
and tell me what you see
Oh wait, I know, wait, you see a reflection of Gordo
in the tear running down my cheek
but I understand you're too busy thinking of Gordo
and you'll never have time for me!!!

Love Always
Janelle

Janelle, 15

When I first met you...

When I first met you
All I thought we would be was friends
but as time passed
My feelings for you changed
I didn't want you just as a friend
I wanted you to be mine
and I was so scared to ask you out
But then it happened
you asked me out and I found out you loved me as much as I loved you
and now that we're together no one and nothing can separate us

I love you with all my heart Justin!!

bibi, 15

I enjoyed you

I enjoyed you I didn't want to see you leave, boy. You made my life so complete, I didn't want to move too fast because you're too special. I really loved the way you made me feel inside. You wondered why my spirit was so happy, you touched my heart, every part. Whenever you spoke to me I loved what we had going on. I may never find another one like you for me. I had no worries once I stepped into your presence, you had a way of helping me see that everything is okay, babe. What else can I say? We started out saying that we would just be friends with special feelings. They had arisen, what were we supposed to do meanwhile?

Cirra, 13

There's this boy

There's this boy I always looked up to with admiration.
He's got everything a girl could wish for and more
But beyond the good looks he's a great person
Some people say he's quite the party animal
But some people see the real him
Funny, outgoing and hyperactive at times
But the question is, why is there something wrong?
He only sees the girls that are just like him
When secretly his soulmate could be right in front of him
Behind the name brand clothes and the good looks, deep down they
Could be a bad person
But behind the ugly, everday, average girl could be the one he's been looking for all along

shelby, 14

Broken Heart

I'm stuck all alone with a broken heart.
It was sad when my partner and I had to part.
We couldn't find a way to keep in touch.
No email, no phone number, nothing like such...
We promised we'd see each other again someday,
But I doubt there will be any way.
He's in Asia, I'm left in Maine state,
I feel so trapped now inside a steel crate!
I wish we can see each other just once more,
Without him, all over I feel so sore.
If I see him again, I'll know that
I'll surely get a ring, and that's a fact!

Lira, 17

The Jeffrey I Know Reprised!

I swear it
On my cat's food dish
I just saw him today.
The Jeffrey
Who's been hiding
Behind the shell
I now call Jeff.
I saw Jeffrey again,
In his eyes,
His beautiful eyes,
The eyes I used to laugh with
That belong
To the one
The only
My Jeffrey.

Kylie , 13

Dad,

Since I was small
You've been my world.
Someone to say I love you to
and someone that truly knew he loved me too
I've always said I want to be like you,
someone so smart, gentle and kind.
I love you Daddy no matter how far away.
You'll always be my dad no matter what they say.

Nicole, 15

When you hold me tight...

When you hold me tight all I can say is: never let go.
I look at you and I see you looking down at me,
Smiling and saying, I love you.
Being in your arms never felt so good,
Wishing we could run away and be together forever,
I hate the thought of the day ending.
I wish this day would go on forever instead of a few hours,
Leaving with a smile on my face that nobody can ruin,
Dreaming of you an how happy and safe you make me feel.

Lisa, 15

LET ME FREE

I'll send a butterfly to show peace.
I'll free a bear to represent hard times.
I'll send a dove to show love.
I'll free a swan to show memories.
But I'll never let free my dreams for they shall become reality.

lulu, 12

Help.

Help.

Do you know what it feels like to wake
up everyday, with a battle within yourself?
You hate yourself so much that with each
passing day you want to run that blade, that
knife down each arm,
To be so anorexically thin that
you practically float into the
glittering sky. I try to explain to you,
but you never REALLY listen.
You choose to pick at my mistakes rather
than actually help me, you look past my
worries, my feelings, my pain,
So that I just help you. You're fine.
But what about me? I try to explain
but words cannot describe the hatred
I feel inside. No one understands.
and when I need someone so desperately to
help me you just push me away.
Just listen to me. I know you care
but it's so hard to see. These walls around
me keep everyone out and let no one in.
I so desperately need someone to understand.
Don't you understand?
Please help me as I've helped you.
Please.

Rachelle, 15

Remember me.

And as I grow ever older.
You may start to be wiser.
Not I.
As the world is changing before
my very eyes. I slowly begin to realise
my friend, our days are numbered, and as
soon as we are born we begin dying.
So every precious moment I have left on
this earth I will live as my last.
I will travel the world and experience things
very few have, I will set new records
and leap into thin air. Risking my life.
I will be remembered my dear friend.
for the extraordinary things I will do with
my life. I will never have a normal life.
You experience child birth, and 'love'.
Whilst I will experience so much more.
Come with me and be remembered, or die
in the shadows of the great.
For I'm not afraid of death.

Rachelle, 15

Bad Habit

We've been together for 7 years
Thru the pain and tears
There's been so many ups and downs
Happy moments, laughing, smiles and frowns

Sometimes I wish I didn't love you
Because of all the heartbreaks you put me thru
We've had our breakups
But somehow finding our way back to make up

It feels so hard to be without you
And you tell me you feel that too

So is this true love because our hearts don't dare to say goodbye?
Or is this like a bad habit and we're just living a lie?

Mia Janae, 22

CHANGES

Everything has changed
I don't even know if we are still best friends!
You push me away at recess and talk privately without me being allowed to come.
You make plans with other people and completely forget about me.
Every time I try to talk to you it is me you pretend not to see and just walk away.
You never are in the same groups as me and you never stay with me at recess.
I ask if you can play and you say NO.
You go off with other people and never ask me to come along.
You start to blame things on me and get mad at me.
What did I do?
Are you the best friend I used to know?
You are completely changed.
NOW I AM LONELY WITH A BROKEN HEART.

laur, 12

OUR EARTH

This is our land.
Let's lend a helping hand.
Reduce the garbage.
Put litter in the trash can.
Reuse your bottles,
Recycle plastics.
Let's keep our whole earth litter free.

Mom

my first word,
the one person who i can count on
that person is my mom
she is my best friend
when i was small and could only crawl
i called her mommy
she was there when i was not
she is the one that i will never forget.

dez, 15

You said, I love you.

You said I love you but I choked. I feel like I let the world down. You said my name but I didn't answer. You looked at me with a smile. I tried to smile but a tear came down.
You wiped it off and said, "what?"
"Nothing, just when I am with you you make me glow." So when I look at him a tear comes down and it reminds me of when we didn't kiss. He grabs my waist and says, "Let's kiss."
I see that twinkle in his eye.
"I love you," he said.

love, 12

Something More

I dream a dream of something more
I wait and wait for something else
The life I want so far way
I hope and hope for that one day
When life will be just like that dream
The dream I dream when I'm alone
The dream I dream for something more

Be More Than Friends

You're the face I want to see every morning.
I pray every night that I run into to you at least twice.
When we talk my heart skips a beat.
I even laugh at everything.
So maybe, just maybe
We can Be More Than Friends.

I see you in the hallway and no one else exists.
My eyes always go toward you.
That winning smile is all I need.
So maybe, just maybe
We can Be More Than Friends.

You're face is the one I fall asleep thinking about.
All the memories we have always appear in my dreams.
When I think of you everything seems good.
So maybe, just maybe
We can Be More Than Friends.

Maybe, just maybe
We can be more than friends.

H.M., 15

You are my light...

You are my light,
Shining ever so bright.
You are like the wind that blows through my hair,
You are my sun amd my moon.
I feel safe when I am with you because I know you won't harm me.
And most of all you are my dream
A wish that I want but can't have.

jaeda, 14

Love is not what you call it

Love is not what you call it
Love really hurts
You say you love someone but you really don't
You say you love someone but do you really mean it?
Do you really feel it?
There can never be a question like this but can you see it?
Some say love is spelled l-o-v-e
But it's really spelled h-u-r-t
My name is spelled A-U-N-G-E-l-I-Q-U-E
And I'm going to stick with that for the rest of my life
I love myself and I know that for a fact

Aungelique, 13

When I am around you...

When I am around you,
I don't know what to do,
Nor what to say,
And I wonder if you feel the same way too,
When my eyes met yours,
It was like they had opened the golden doors,
Our Marriage day,
Your silky black shirt,
Then I said 'Oh, you flirt,'
My dress as white as snow,
On the front with a medium-sized bow!
Confetti in my hair,
Just a thought I couldn't bear you weren't there,
Your light brown shoes,
You said, "Come let's go have some booze,"
My big diamond ring,
Trust me it had bling,
My long beautiful hair,
And now everything we have we share

cozza, 10

Playing in the sizzling hot sun

Playing in the sizzling hot sun,
Is very, very fun.
When I fly my kite,
It will be a pretty sight.

When day turns to night,
There will be no more light.
I love the sunshine a lot,
Even though it can get so, so hot

hanna, 11

I see you pass me by

I see you pass me by
And I just wonder why
You love her not me
It's hard for me to see

Five years just pass me by
You strongly caught my eye
Some wishes might come true
But I'll always love you

No matter what they say
No matter what you do
I know that you're with her
But let me tell the truth

I am that girl you used to love
The one who sent the teddy gram
The one who's named anonymous
The way I feel is just like this

But that was Christmas I saw you run
Went to tell your friends that she's the one
Somebody else was a mistake
Oh, now I'm feeling my heart break

When will it happen, I don't know
Because time has come I have to go
I hope you still have kept my bear
No matter what I'll always be there

So next time that I see you go
I'll take my time I'll take it slow
It's hard for me to tell you that
I love you, I always will like that

No, I don't have blue eyes like her
As you can see that I prefer
I'll tell you what is going on
My "happy" ending is now done

I'll never smile when you walk through the door
I don't want to see you anymore
I've had enough of everything
It's time I try a whole new thing

Naree, 13

Her for beauty.

Her for beauty.
Him for might.
He cries dripping towers.
The moon cries wind before them.
Her glistening shadow,
Dances across him.
His sharpened face,
Laces across.
She sings silence.
The tenderness.
His shadow.
His princess.

J. K. Kilma, 14

Give me some time

There is nothing to say
Confusion just fades away
My life won't be so gray
Anymore...

Yeah, this love does still exist
The love of mine
That I give to my only one

Don't worry dear
I'll make my changes
Just give me some time

anin, 14

The Boat

Weathered eyes,
A face of pale.
Watching waves move,
Don't feel so good,
But a breeze
Comes over me like the moon.
I feel light as I begin to fly,
Over the mountains really high.
I come back down,
And feel alright.
Then I know...
It's going to be alright.

Molly , 17

I am happy

I am happy
You may be blue
It's a difference between me and you
You are cute
I am too
We have one thing in common so far that's true
You may be my boyfriend or my friend who's a boy
Either way you're like a brother who doesn't annoy
I am happy and now you are and so we are not very far

prettykya, 10

Unknown love

You were the only one
I cared about but
That all changed.
You lied and cheated,
You hurt me deeply.
Nothing can hurt me more.

Once you cared
And I was the melody in your heart
But now I'm just a broken record
In the attic of your mind.

Broken now so I don't play.
Lost with one word from your mouth.
Maybe we were never ment to be.
Maybe we should have left it unknown.

roma, 16

Superman

Superman.
He can fly.
And he saves the city.
Along with the girl.

The girl is always happy.
The city safe.
They always have
Superman.

Did you know,
That you are my superman?
That you're my hero?
Please tell me you know.

I know you'll catch me, before I hit the ground.
I know you'll save me,
From the bad guys.
You're my Superman.

Through my window I look.
And wait to catch a glimpse, of my Superman.
I let my thoughts take over.
Just waiting for you.

To be honest.
I used to think,
You'd never come.
Never save me.

But much to my surprise,
There you were,
Arms outstretched,
To hold me close.

And I'll hold you in my heart,
Forever to be,
My Superman.

I'm all that you'll see

Dreams can come true
And wishes too
But both can break
And most of them do

How could I think
Your love was true
Guess because you paralyzed me
With your every move

I tend to fall hard
And I tripped over you
Now I can't stand back up
And I've got everything to lose

When the one you're in love with
Has feelings back
Something'll go wrong
Your heart is in
For an ambush attack

I really did love you
And thought you did too
Now I know better
And I know what to do

I'll trust myself
Above everyone else
I'll keep my heart secret
And only for me

Until you prove
You really love me
My heart is locked away
And I'm all that you'll see

Everyday I awake

Everyday I awake and you're there by my side
I stare and can't imagine why
You are here with me
Then I think shoudn't you be glad
That you've got me?

I do my best for you
And no thanks I get
I sit and cry till my eyes
They are wet
But I still love you
Am emotionally attached

Could you not give me a sign that you feel the same?
You say you love me
But never show it
My life I gave you
Everything I got
But to you this is just a game

No more I will take
Am standing my ground
See you later
Hopefully not around

Ocean Blue

I look into your eyes.
That always remind me of a blue flower in the middle of summer. The ccean blue waves I always see when walking on the beach or when you touch me so gently you remind me of the solt gentle air that blows around me. How you remind of life, how you make me feel special and loved in everyway.
You are my life, my life I will will want to treasure with you forever.

I AM ME

I am me
And that's all I can be
No more
No less
No second guess
I laugh
I live
I love
I cry
Sometimes I wish that I could die
Sometimes I'm happy
Sometimes I'm not
Sometimes I'm in overdrive
And I just can't stop
You may not like me but that's ok
Because I am me and that's how I'll stay

I had a love

I had a love,
One so sweet,
He looked so good down,
From his head to his feet,
Those beautiful eyes,
Soft wavy hair,
The sparkle in his eyes,
Makes me wonder and aware,
The look I give him,
Makes him notice me,
For all I want,
Is for him to go out with me.

Caught up

Caught up
In what I feel at the moment
Pain wells within me so strong
All at once
And then suddenly it's gone
Whenever I hear a certain song
It makes me release the hurt that I feel
My happiness is a delicate balance
Of good and bad
I hope to make that balance tip
So I can have eternal joy
That never ends

All alone in this world

All alone in this world
Really hurt but really strong, I am not in a place with open arms
To let you know, I'm where I should belong
A place where it's cold and dark and fear all around
I wish I wouldn't have made that mistake
But somehow God gave me a forgiver like him
I call him Bear but his name is Aaron
He's the sweetest guy I've ever met!

El amor as hermoso

El amor es hermoso
Sin amor no hay vida
Sin vida no hay amor
Son la perfecta pareja como tu
Why you?

I never knew

I never knew that I could fall in love with someone like you, that you could become my everything, but then it just happened. So here I am writing this poem for you and thinking of no one else but you.

Ashamed

How do you live with yourself
How do you sleep at night
How do you look in your mirror
Do the things you do and not cry
Cry because you know what you did was wrong
Tring to make people weak yet we're still standing strong

You should be ashamed
Doing these bad things
I'm beginning to believe you have no feelings
You should be ashamed

Now don't come crawling back to me
Saying, "Girl, I'm sorry"
After what you did
You took me and broke me
Into a million pieces
The scars are still here, still here to prove
That no one on Earth has Hurt me like you

Hearts in Her Notebook

I was talking to her the other day
Her mind was somewhere else
She wasn't even listening to me
I was talking to myself
Her eyes wondering
Her legs trembling
Her body full of anxiousness
He passes in the hallway
She's filled with nervousness
He's got her drawing hearts on her notebook
Feeling even more special than she did before
Drawing hearts on her notebook
Deafened to the outside world
He's got her drawing hearts on her notebook
And her mind begins to whirl
All her thoughts rattle inside her brain
All her words are scrambled
Blood running through her veins
She's so into him
He's into her
But he doesn't know what he does to her
He makes her feel good
Makes her feel special
He passes and she just has to look
He's got her drawing hearts on her notebook

You pull me right, you pull me left.

You pull me right you pull me left. I feel like waves are crashing down upon me like it's a never ending story. I'm just drowning, waiting, and waiting, for someone to come save me. It's all your fault. I've forgotten how to survive. I've forgotten how to breathe. All that constant tugging from right to left has changed me. I'm not the person I once was. I'm someone so indifferent.

My soul...

My soul still stained by your harsh words, my tongue still tastes of ash, for what I imagined were supple lips were my lips and rubble clashed. My fingertips running down your spine sent me in a trance although I was pleasing you it made me quiver too. At that point I didn't care I could have been told you were from Mars I would have just been that Martian lover, call me a star. I never knew love could make me ill like I had the flu but after I felt that pain I'd rather have Leptospirosis than lose you. So believe me when I tell you this, readers, never let your lover go for the pain you will fee,l the agony, the sorrow, will never let you go. Although, it may fade with time.
