A Hug

Hugs can be brief and pleasant
or they can be lasting and warm.
But whether the hug be short or long,
it can ease the darkest storm.

A hug is to make you feel safe
and to let you know I care.
It's to make the fearful moments,
a little easier to bear.

When I have my arms around you,
I feel no worries or alarm.
It's then I know without a doubt,
to you there can come no harm.

But if we were to look more closely,
the truth we'd clearly see.
The hugs we share to comfort you,
are really helping me.

Your hugs fill an empty place,
that's been in my heart for years
A hug from you is the best way,
to dry up these age old tears.

Sexual Attention

hes my drug
and im addicted
it seems unreal
it seems conflicted
the way that he touches
it seems so real
and how his attentions
to stumble and seal
he tells me things
i wanna hear
it doesnt mean nothing
an thats what i fear
the way that he kisses
he kisses like a pro
sometimes when he leaves
i miss him so
im obsessed
with his passion i can't get enough
sometimes it gets easy
sometimes it gets rough
just knowing he wants me to give him
my all
his fingers my lips
they feel like claws
i swear i do love him
because hes so real
but im not sure
if he knows how i feel
hes all about
affection
protection
and sex
even though he keeps contact
with one of his ex
whenever were out
we pretend we are strangers
just knowing my heart
could just be in danger
he makes me feel
like
i'll never die
just knowing hes known to
make me cry
even though hes suspicious
i can't let him go
the truth should be spoken
i love him so
the way we touch
our lips meet slow
the way that he holds me i can't let go
the main idea
i had to mention
the way he can touch
its like sexual attention

I thought

I thought your love would last forever
I thought the chapter of loneliness had ended
Did you not want us to start a journey
Did you not want happiness
I thought you were different
I thought your love was truth
Now I sit in the dark, drinking my sadness away
the bottle half empty and my heart aching
I got tangled in your arms and I saw my life in your eyes
What a mistake it was to think that your love would last forever
Now I want to ask you one thing
Did you know that your love would break my heart forever?

Given Chance

Somehow it exists in my own little world
Knowing it will always be a curse without sign
Indeed, can only be seen and be understood
In someone's truthful sight and fearless tongue

Aware or unaware, indeed I made a mistake
Hopelessly without your guiding light
I am afraid, lost and greatly in disguise
Believe me if only I could undo the past
I'll do it before your gentle heart starts to ache

Sooner or later I know my life would be in the next
Bear in mind without your sincerest forgiveness
I am miserable and in great loneliness
Without you, I know I will crawl
Before I will learn to walk again
Believe me when I say this to you
You are my life and I still needed you

If given a chance
From now on
I will hold your heart
As gently as I can
Just to love and keep you
Once again…
Forevermore…

Start New

Love Lasting,
I guess you could call it a thing,
4 yrs it carried,
And now it's all trying to be buried,
My first real love,
Got lost above,
And threw everything away,
There was nothing more to say,
After so many times he broke my heart,
It was like a shooting dart,
So many times,
So many crimes,
To much to handle,
So now here I am starting brand new,
Always wondering how I really got threw,
Now it's hard to trust,
Even though I know I must,
But after the past,
How long will the truth last,
I always get hurt,
I always feel like I'm just dirt,
Are there people out there that are true,
I truly wish I knew,
I want to be happy,
And not sappy,
I want someone to be true to me,
Please help me see,
Make me believe there's good not only bad,
Because bad is all I ever had,
I always go for those bad boys,
That are like little toys,
That just play and play,
And there's nothing you can say,
There's nothing you can do,
Or they'll just forget all about you and be like who?
Like they never knew,
I just want to live my life,
And stop being stabbed with a knife,
Right where my heart is.
I just need to free my mind,
And really look what I need to find,
Im sick of being sad,
And that's what I feel like that all I have ever had,
Now I want to start brand new,
And find my one true Boo.

Old Mice Creed

I used to pass on this old street
Where old men hang and talk sweet
Their truth and wisdom always make me sweat
No one dares to listen, no one gives a shit

Bullshit!
I'm too good for this!

Too proud, too wise, like mice
Before my life falls like dice…
Hit the bottom and roll over like ice
I'll take the mysterious advice

With weary eyes of dying mice
Regrets felt in the soft-spoken wise
A piece of Christ, a peace will rise
It's no surprise, takes a lot of sacrifice

Don't have to be crucified
Don't have to be terrified
Just find the right guide
And take the ride…

No matter how cursive the citywide
You'll always find your way in the countryside
Where simplicity and fulfillment derived
And real life hide in beautiful someone's side

I don't know how to get there
I'm just here listening
To the old mice creed
As I seat along the old street
Where I used to pass and say Bullshit!

Life No Regret

To love another
you must first love yourself...
but how do you love yourself
when you are a stranger in your own eyes...
your greatest fear is yourself...
waiting on a hero that will never come...
is it worth going on...
but if you look deep enough
you will see the truth...
that the hero lies in you...
life is not how hard it hits you down
it is whether you get back up again...
you can't always get what you want...
and you can't appreciate life until you've been burned...
stay in the race because you will only look back
and regret what might have been...BUT...
never regret anything that made you SMILE...

Little Trust

Being best friends from the very start,
But now we are continually drifting apart,
Finding things out from everyone else,
When it was always me you used to tell.

The one in which I'd always confide,
But now you can't seem to make up your mind,
To tell me now or to tell me not?
The little trust that I've now got.

Each truth you told me was repayed,
We shared our secrets, back in the day,
But now it's just a guessing game,
It's pissing me off, I'm full off shame.

But why should I feel the fault is mine,
When I kept your secrets every time,
If you can't trust me, that is fine,
Don't tell me your secrets, I won't tell you mine.
