Don’t Cry

Don’t cry It aches loneliness it’s quiet when you’re not around Don’t cry My own thoughts are echoes screams inside my head. I need you Don’t cry Every mistake Every sore cut left open for me to bleed. Don’t leave Don’t cry

Unusal

You’ve gotten under my skin The layers are paper-thin But made of diamond. Somehow you’ve penetrated the deepest layer And put me under your spell and I don’t care. You must know This is unusual, for me.

You’re The Only One

I break away when you’re gone Didn’t know I would need anyone this much Eternity, well that’s not long enough Cause baby, you’re the one You’re the one I want to wake up next to everyday You’re the one I want to kiss in the pouring rain You’re the one who makes my heart race You’reContinue reading “You’re The Only One”

Feels Like Home

It took you about fifteen minutes to park, I kept busy by writing in my notebook, trying to get all my ideas down on paper so I wouldn’t forget later; because let’s admit it, I always forget come later.

Firefly

Everything

It’s a new day You’re still you And you’re still a mystery to me I can’t read into you. It’s a new day It’s the same me But I’m feeling a bit differently I’m wondering, I’m doubting How you feel about me… It’s the twinkle in your eyes The way your heart races against mineContinue reading “Everything”

Confession

The words written on your lips Were nothing but a murmur When I read what they said My heart stuttered A response got caught inside my chest I looked back at you, out of breath When I saw your smile Time slowed down I could hear nothing But the echo of my voice Did youContinue reading “Confession”
