Before Old

Tryna Fake it
till I make it
standin here to make a show
to define you
and to study
just as far as you can go

do you seize me
how I like it
I'm so difficult
to read
like some paper
or a booklet
or a napkin
with a theme

here I'm standin
starin at you
lookin at you crossed the room
moppin floors
and changin pictures
if i kiss you
I'll be doomed
won't this happen
or i show it
i regret
all my mistakes
wanna study
wanna get it
just before
its just too late

now you're leaving
I'm not leaving
starin at you as
you leave
one more shot
i don't have shots
so now I stand here
watch me bleed
cause i need you
wanna meet you
wanna know you
wanna hold
wanna stock you
wanna mock you
just before i get too old


now I'm washing all the
dishes
cleaning houses
cookin stoves
wish i moved
in your direction
now I got another load
much too laundry
much too cleaning
much too late to try again
when I see you
you'll be taken
so i guess
me
you
just friends

I'll harass you
and embrace
you still
I'm slick I'll get away
what I do
it might just harm you
i am
sure I'll get away

I am charming
I am evil
you know me
i don't make sense
watch me
dancing
beneath roses
when I walk
behind your fence

yeah you see me
all around you
like a mellow
to a stove
why i tease you
with my clarence
now its me
and you alone

Am i crazy
you don't get it
what my poets
don't make sense
my names
ebony
mcmillan
I'm Highmaintenance
and intense

so define me
and come seize me
study lift
and over all
watch my safety tips
and safety net
cause one day I will fall

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

The One

You're the One

You’re the one I wanted to trust
You’re the one I wanted to see
You’re the one I wanted to kiss
You’re the one I really missed

You’re the one who made me smile
You’re the one who made me laugh
You’re the one who made me happy
You’re the one who would think this sappy

You’re the one that kept me hoping
You’re the one that kept me dreaming
You’re the one that kept me going
You’re the one that left me unknowing

You’re the one who could keep me warm
You’re the one who could keep me safe
You’re the one who could always be there
You’re the one who I thought would care

You’re the one I always thought the best of
You’re the one I always wanted to be with
You’re the one I always was disappointed by
You’re the one I knew would make me cry

You’re the one that was my hardest goodbye
You’re the one that I knew it had to end
You’re the one that would hurt the most
You’re the one that I had held so close

- Breanne Cope

Wait for you

As feelings collide into my deep soul,
I try my best to always keep you in mind.
Just when I feel like you slowly slip away,
You seem to know exactly when to come back.
And when I cry for your love,
Somehow I feel you hear it.
Alone with desperation,
Waiting for you to forever be mine.
Longing to hear your voice,
Telling me how much you care.
To feel the touch
That makes me feel so safe.
Longing to kiss the lips
That takes my breath away.

The longing inside my heart and soul
Aches when you’re not near.
Pictures and thoughts of you
Stay inside my mind.
I can’t bear the fact that you’re
Not by my side.
My mind wonders uncontrollably
Of where you might be.
Pain is what I feel.
Pain.

Waiting to gaze into the eyes
That tells a future.
My heart softly whispers
The true meaning of love.
Faster and faster my heart beats
When you’re near.
Slower and slower it gets
When you’re faraway.

A thousand pages are needed
To tell you exactly how I feel,
That the love you give to me
Is the love that seems so real.
Gently touching me to ease my pain away,
I just can’t imagine how life would
Be without that touch.

Sadist

You called me your wife
and said I'm your life
The first day you called me
made me feel so happy

You kissed me on the first meeting
thinking its not wrong
Everyday you called me without fail
and I thought you were after me like a tail

When we met again
you tried to do things that were not right
Sooner or later,
you stopped your love

I thought of a reason,
and I realised after you touched me
all you could do was drifting away

Im starting to hate you
Im sorry but its true
You told me plenty of lies
and did those pathetic tries

Your killing me deep inside
with hundreds and thousands
of stabbing knives!

And now your gonna regret,
because your in trouble
come begging me Baby
try your best and dont be a pest
FOR ALL I CARE!

Im goin on a new path
for my new love
and I swear,
I will never find a sadist like you!

True Love

Words will never describe how much I love you
You're the greatest and our love is true
These past months have been confusing
I hope it is not you that I am losing
At times I break into tears
Because in my mind I have fears
They are in my head, and over and over they play
When all I want, is for you to stay
We both seem to be sensitive now
But why now? And how?
We fight so much over little things
Then the next minute your giving me wings
It might not seem that way all the time
But when I do one thing wrong, it's a big crime
I know I mean everything to you
And trust me baby, I love you too
We will get through this
By talking or maybe a simple kiss
Our love is so strong
And there is no way we will go wrong
Please trust me and have no doubt
Because it is you, that I cannot live without
You bring me happiness and sunshine
All I ever wanted is for you to be mine
Now I have you, and I'm doing wrong
I guess emotionally I'm not that strong
I'll do anything for you sweetie pie
I'll get down on my knees, and even die
How can I treat you this way, so bad
It makes me so mad, but yet so sad
I used to be so perfect and so nice
I would never ever think twice
But now I feel like I'm the worse
It feels like maybe it's a curse
You don't understand how much I try
And sometimes I ask myself why?
Inside I know its my fault, and my problem
And you probably ask yourself, How do I stop 'em
My heart is crying in the middle of a smile
This has been happening for while
I am not lying and this is true
But the reason is not you
So instead of walking away
Think twice, and stay
Because great things are destined to happen
Just be patient, and don't ask when?
Baby you are my heart
And without my heart, I will fall apart

Experience Love

Ok well I am only 12 years old.
Wow who cares.
I have experienced love.
Though it was with my parents,
I still understand it.
What everyone needs to understand
is that you have to take love in every form.
Whether its picking up someones pencil
or giving a passionate kiss in the rain.
I think I was in love with a guy.
I blushed around him
and I cant make it out
because it was a unique relationship.
One that I never experienced with
anyone out of my family.
Though he cheated on me so many times
I keep coming back for more.
So I am 12 but anyone can experience love.
NO MATTER WHAT AGE! PEACE!

Miss Dad

I would call out "Dad"
when was angry, scared or sad.

When I thought Jennifer was hogging you,
you would stay with me like glue.

You'd talk to me, tell me don't be scared,
I could always tell you cared.

When my friends were mad at me you'd stay throughout the night,
you would be there for me and hold me tight.

You were someone I loved that I could call,
you would help me when I would fall.

You'd kiss my boo boo and make it better,
when I went to camp you'd write me a letter.

You would write how much you loved me
and said that with you I wish I could be.

While I was reading I would grin
as I would wish the same back to him.

We would play games for hours on end,
whenever I had a broken heart you would mend.

In restaurants while waiting to go,
we would play tic-tac-toe to get three in a row.

I wish that you would walk through the door,
because I keep missing you more and more.

I know that you are in a better place,
but I am selfish in this case.

I wish that I could have you back in my arms,
to see your special smile and charms.

I miss your smile, your care, your love.
You remind me of a precious dove.

I love you with all my heart,
but you have known that from the start.

I know the world will still go on,
even though my loved one's gone.
