Take It.

Take It.

Close your eyes,
breathe in deep.
I’m not afraid,
you’re here with me.
Now I’m ready,
to take this leap.
My hands shake,
I cannot sleep.
Your lonely soul,
my wasted youth.
Those eyes that never
gave me truth.
We’re in too deep,
we’ve come this far.
We’ve nothing left,
we’re what we are.

So take it, take it, take it,
my heart is yours.
Don’t break it, break it, break it,
just close the door.
We’ll make it, make it, make it,
if we try.
Don’t break it, break it, break it,
don’t make me cry.

Press your lips,
onto mine.
Now your hands,
run down my spine.
Now our hearts,
beat as one.
Now the night,
has just begun.
So pull down the covers,
on your bed.
There are no words
we’ve left unsaid.
I’m yours tonight,
let’s see it through.
I’m not afraid,
I’m here with you.

So take it, take it, take it,
my heart is yours.
Don’t break it, break it, break it,
just close the door.
We’ll make it, make it, make it,
if we try.
Don’t break it, break it, break it,
don’t make me cry.

How Can You Say You Love Me?

How Can You Say You Love Me?

Every girl wants to hear
that she’s the center of your world,
that she’s extraordinary in your eyes.
No one wants to sit alone,
night after night
waiting patiently by the phone,
praying for calls that never come.
What a lonely life we lead,
so lonely.
I reach out for you
but you are never there.
I’m the one who’s trying
so hard to make this work,
you’re the one who never reciprocates.
How can you say you love me?

Intertwined

Intertwined

The girl who doesn’t think
She’ll ever be good enough,
For him: the boy who only wants the girl
Who looks good in the mirror with him.
How are their lives intertwined?
A slit wrist,
A pretty boy façade,
Another brick in the wall
Of broken hearts & shattered dreams.
How can two lives so vastly different
Ever end up as one?

Offbeat Heartbeats.

Offbeat Heartbeats.

Here’s where I stand.
It’s just some desolate city street
corner in my mind,
with the streetlight winking out above me.
And the only sound is of my
offbeat heartbeats,
keeping time in the broken rhythm
of the street.
But I live for the music of my soul,
it’s like none you’ve ever heard.
There’s no tone, no key,
nothing but a pulsating beat
and a flash of colored lights through my eyes.
So here’s where I stand,
here’s my heart.
Do you know how much
it is yours forever?

Is this what you call love?

Is this what you call love?

Wrap your hands around my throat,
Oh yes, that’s love, isn’t it?
That's real truth and compassion.
Is that what you whispered in her ear
all those nights when I was lying alone in bed,
and you were lying by her side?
Is that what you traced into her skin,
fingertips light & pulses racing?
Is this what you call love,
always being afraid to speak my mind,
sewing my lips shut
never saying a word against you?
I’m too scared to ask you
the questions I need to,
because it’s your answers I fear the most.

Breaking Down.

Breaking Down.

Breathe.
It doesn’t feel like
quite enough,
like nothing could ever be good enough.

Bleed.
Your heart couldn’t possibly
beat any louder
my heart couldn’t take it.

Break.
My heart is falling to pieces
with every beat,
I’m dying from the words you say.

Sense.
Deep inside my soul,
I can feel everything
shattering around me.

Feel.
I can’t feel anything anymore,
not since all this
has fallen down
around me.

Cry.
I wish I could
do anything to show
the hurt I feel inside,
but my eyes stay dry.

Die.
Without you,
it feels like I would
but somehow I know
I can survive.

Smile.
I’ll try,
desperately to hang on
to go on & pretend
I don’t care.

Why.
I just can’t understand,
why you would do this to me.
why I was never good enough.

no sun will rise again.

Somewhere in the darkness
She confesses
"This is what it's made of"
and he forgives

Love is your first
Chance to breathe
Put her on life support
until she can open
her eyes on her own

She sleeps with
his picture under
her pillow
and kisses it in the morning

Take a moment
everynight
To kiss the stars
Dream so you can breathe again

she remembers when
he held her tightly
his arms held her
like a life line
Drew her in like a lunar eclipse

but now it's like
no sun will ever
rise again.
all her world is dark.

Betrayal.

Betrayal.

It’s so cold.
The wind
Slips up jacket sleeves,
Invades the hood of your sweater.
You clutch my hand tighter
I smile.
Huddled against each other for warmth
On a desolate bench outside the mall,
You are mine.
But then I learn
Of how your hand found hers
Outside of Starbucks yesterday,
The same way it found mine
Saturday.
And now, all I feel…
Is angst.
