Why? IIWhy?

What makes you act this way?
When you needed my help,
I was there.
When you were crying,
Alone,
And needed a shoulder to cry on,
I was there.
When you thought all hope was lost,
When you felt like you couldn't go any lower,
I was there.

Why?

And when you were afraid of me
You still tried to talk to me.

Why?

You were there for me, too.
When I thought it would be easier to give up,
You helped me to see.
When I was going to give up
To protect you
You convinced me not to.

Why?

But, now,
I'm just a broken toy
You're too ashamed to own,
Too tired of saving, comforting
Protecting.

Why?

I feel as though
I suddenly wa

Good and BadYou're my everything and nothing,
You're the song stuck in my head,
You're the teardrops on my guitar,
You're the end where this path lead.

You're my end, you're my start,
You're my joy, you're my fear,
You're my happiness, you're my sorrow,
You're my outlet, you're my pain.

You were a lover, and a friend
Someone to look after,
Someone to look after me.

You were my brightest star,
Now you've made my darkest day,
You're a heartbreaker, and a thief,
You broke my heart, you stole the peices.

You're beautiful and sad,
You're sweet, but not sincere;

You're my angel, you're the devil,
You loved me but you're with her...

I was wit

Missing YouI miss you...I miss your smile
And I still shed a tear every once in a while
And even though it;s different now,
You're still here somehow, my heart won't let you go
And I need you to know,
I miss you....

How much pain are you going to inflict on someone you once loved?

Or did you never love me at all?

All those times....

I held you while you cried.

You wiped away my tears.

Do they mean anything to you now?

So let me ask you....if you really loved me,

Where did you get the knife you stabbed into my heart?

But I took it out,

Let myself bleed over you.

But not anymore.

Now my wounds

Are slowly healing.

Slowly...slowly.....

D

Alone.Do you ever feel alone?
A feeling you can't place?
Are you not surrounded by friends
every moment of the day?

Have you ever been asked to go out,
but decided to stay home?
To make up some excuse?
Like your dog can't be alone?

Do you feel like a different person
when your around people you know?
As if your struggling to fit in?
Like meeting a new friend?

Well that's how I feel,
and that's why I'd rather be alone.

Repeatrepeat for me
that quiet
quiet scream
you heard when i said goodbye

repeat every word
every scream
every whisper
ripping my soul
piece by piece away from me

repeat those last words
its not as if they are ingrained in my memory
repeat them one last time for me

don't worry
it's okay if you forget
it's alrite
I know
Do your remember when i said that?

the tears drenching my face
I wouldn't expect you to
I will remember for the both of us

every night before i fall asleep
when he says something
that reminds me of you
from the depths of my mind
places I'ed rather be locked
our memories will return

he won't be there eith

angel's kisses

shy smiles, nervous glances,
while hands entwine, and we agree to take our chances.
lips meet, and butterflies form,
we pull closer to one another, greeted by warmth.

kiss me like you did that night,
kiss me to get rid of the colds bitter bite,
kiss me to wipe away the tears,
kiss me to wash away my fears.

whisper in my ear,
those three words that i hold so dear.
and i shall whisper back my perfect line,
as our hands begin to entwine.

kiss me like you did that night,
kiss me to get rid of the colds bitter bite,
kiss me to wipe away the tears,
kiss me to wash away my fears.

i love you for always,
for all of my days.
i miss yo

COLD AS YOUAre you there?
Are you sitting on your bed,
Hot tears flowing from your eyes?
Are you mourning the loss of our friendship, as I am?
Are you trying to imagine life without me?
Are you thinking of how immature we acted?
Are you crying?
Sobbing?
Whispering the wrongs we've done,
And thinking of everything we've been through together,
And everything we've done for each other?
Are you reminiscing
And wishing
We could go back to
When we were
Best friends?

Waiting On YouLife will never be the same.
You will never love me,
You will never realize how much I love you...
You're just a chapter in the book of life
The life that can never be,
Because I don't know when I'll be able to end this chapter,
When I can finally move on...
The chapter keeps getting longer and longer
It's endless
Full of happiness,
Pain,
Misery,
And longing.
I'm all alone
Even when I thought I wasn't,
When I was with you,
I was still alone
I just never realized it
I wish I had,
Or maybe I don't.
I wouldn't have had that happiness you gave me,
The spark of hope,
The flicker of light that life can be truly bearable
But t

SmileSmile

Smile at the first song you ever dedicated to me. Howie Day's Collided.

Smile at our first wedding song. Keith Urban- I Wanna Be Your Everything.

Smile at our three month anniversary. When even though I had to go home early. Us just cuddling and giggling in your bed. One of the best nights in my life.

Smile at our first kiss. The kiss I never expected.

Smile at the first time you seen me fall. I stabbed my hand and it hurt. I have a scar there now, that I know when you look at it and think of it, you'll smile at my 'wonderful' balancing abilities.

Smile at the time I fell off the bed, grabbing onto you in a feeble attempt to stay

EraseHe made my heart leap
A strange sort of jump that I hadn't felt since...

How can you change my mind so easily?
Why does he erase her?

Do I want her to be erased?
Maybe I'd sleep easier
If I could fool myself into believing I'd fooled myself
Into loving her

But why do that?

It's stranger than how he so easily
Made my heart leap

With that stupid little smile

Just like hers.

Whoever You AreLet me just say that in my life, you are the punctuation.
Meeting you has changed my life, hear my proclamation.
My days are brighter and skies a clear blue,
All I tell you will always be true.
Just the sound of your voice calms my nerve,
You are much more than I deserve.
You let me hold your hand and I feel my world has swirled.
I feel like I'm the luckiest boy in the world.
I am at peace when I'm by your side,
except for my heart which beats with no subside.
Who can say what the future will bring?
I wish I could know one simple thing.
Who is the one I'm writing about today?
Whoever you are, please come to me and stay.

The Misinformed FactI see the hidden truths; you fail to look past the dirt,
I think of the lead up, you just experience the hurt,
Despite our differences, the bus we board,
A smile of innocence, behind is the sword,
It occupies the seat next to me,
This sword is not visible, instead an impression to be,
Like you, the window becomes a destination,
Offering hope with only slight hesitation,
I search the moveable landscape,
And reveal a standard, an incomplete measuring tape,
This rule of thumb, the look that becomes a stare,
The misinformed fact, by which everyone I compare,
Young mothers; a pram, Aged; a swaying cane,
They ignore, instead of admitti

Truer words havent been spokenIn many a year, the words 'My love', have not left my lips.
And with you they just floated, as if they were meant to be said.
To you and only you, those words belong.
Because, in the truth of the matter, they are true.

When I am with youI feel safe, being myself with you.
I feel happy when I am myself with you.
I feel love when I am with you.

All my feelings seem to run amuck when I am with you.
But at the same time they're perfect, controlled and ever so true.

But The Fates are cruel, and deal a nasty hand.
It's not the first time.
I've been through this before.

But with you it's different.

The pain is double and comes with full force.
Threatening to shoot me down in mid-flight.

But when I am with you…

All seems to turn to naught.
All seems to get better.
And I feel free.

Therefore, my dearest angel, my white dove, my red rose, my one true love,
Forgiv

TombHead turned west, she will die crunched in that
arrogant twist, in the gut of the mountainside,
barren as her mother should have been;
head turned west, refusing the frivolity of water,
the stoicism of bread.

Once again she is in a womb,
once more slowly stacking up ribs for a balancebeam
towards a depressed god.
She kicks her fear across the wall and roars,
mostly for her inbred sister.

The candle is dying
and, ingloriously,
Antigone is copying.

Good Enough

I'm trapped in this web again
I can't deny it
I'll do anything you ask of me
I'm so confused,
So messed up inside,
I gave you my heart
But you made it bleed

I can't say no to you.

Good enough...
When will I be good enough for you, baby?
Why aren't I now?

Drinking in the scene,
Watching others have their fun,
Wishing I, too, could-so effortlessly-
Have a good time
And forget, for awhile
Everything else...

I've completly lost myself to you.
And you, and you, and you.

Good enough...
When will i be good enough for you, honey?
Why aren't I now?

I gave you life, I gave my all,
I shouldn't let you conquer me compltely
Never said a word of discomfort
But sometimes I need to

Here, in the pages of this book,
I'm safe; I'm free.
I'm not lost; I'm just alone.
And I cannot stay where I don't belong.

Good enough...
When will I be good enough for you, love?
Why aren't I now?

Too late to go back now.
I woke up...I know the truth now...
I know who you are.
I don't love you anymore...

So much more to say,
So much more to do.

Don't leave me now...

Give me real life,
I can't let go of this dream,
I've seen it coming,
I'm still waiting

You all torture me so sweetly, so gently...

Good enough...
When will I be good enough for you, darling?
Why aren't I now?

Show me the truth.

I need answers.

I can't say no to you.

If I'm not good enough for you to show me
Just that little bit of respect,
Then why should I give it to you?

Another tiny peice of my heart, chipped off,
shattered,
But I see now that it was for the best.

Why does being different mean being mocked?

Take care of what you ask of me,
Because I can't say no to you.

Good enough...
When will I be good enough for you, darling?
Why aren't I now?

Take my feelings,
Bury them in the ashes of my mind.

Shouldn't let you talk to me that way.

But I do.

I'm not crazy, just different.

I'm not good enough for you...

...but I am good enough to be me.
