Standing Strong
you told me you loved me
you told me you cared
you told me you wanted me
you told me you wont leave
you said your love will never fade
but boy that’s all you did was toy
with my already fragile heart
you started to look away
when you said ‘i love you too’
you started not to care
when i cried in front of you
you didn’t want me around
you pushed me away
you mocked me
you teased me
you made me feel like dirt
you lied to me
and you didn’t care how
much i hurt
that’s it, i finally had enough
I’m not taking it any more
so here, take your stuff
don’t come around any more
oh no, oh wait, i made a mistake
that’s all i wanted was you back
i begged and i pleaded
to give me one more chance
yet here you already moved on
you have been all along
your memories haunted me
just wishing you were here
i was blinded by all the love
that just wasn’t there
but boy now I’m better
I’m leaving you behind
and never looking back
I’m stronger now
I’m moving on
and finally standing strong.

You
You say I’m your girl, and you will always be there.
But everyone comes first and that’s just not fair.
You say you love me and I’m always on your mind
Do you really expect me to believe such a line
You get mad cause I yelled and I cussed,
But you don’t have time for me but everything else is a must.
When it comes to me you just never have the time,
I’m always last I have to wait in line.
You say you love me with all your heart,
But you never spend time with me, We are always apart
I bend over backwards and do what I can
Guess I was stupid to think you would be my man
I come over and visit and call on the phone
But lately it seams you want to be alone.
I say something to you and you whine and cry,
But Lately I feel like I’m living a lie
If you really love me time will tell,
But being without you is like living in hell.
I want you with me for the rest of my life
I had my heart set on one day being your wife.
You need to be a man now and show me that you care,
Cause when you finely grow up I might not be there.
I refuse to do nothing but sit around and wait,
When you decide you want me it might be to late
I’m not the girl to put up with this stuff,
I’m almost done and have had enough
You decide if it is really meant to be,
If you feel it isn’t I will set you free
I don’t want you around if your feels are fake,
So tell me now before I make a huge mistake
I honestly love you and that’s not a lie,
But if your heart isn’t in it lets say good bye

Enough
I used to smile and I used to cry
I used to trust and I don’t know why
I used to care and gave my heart
For a man I thought won’t break my heart.
I used to hope for a day to come
Bring back the trust I gave you once
I used to pray for a day to come
Bring back the love but it was gone.
Enough of lies, enough of cries
I told myself as each day goes by
Enough of sorrow and enough for pain
I kept inside my heart in vain.
I’d like to ask you just one more time
And think of it with all your heart,
If a truth can hurt us both my love,
What else you’d think a lie can do?.

To My Friend
#TO MY ‘FRIEND’ R.S (R**HA S.)#
Still now when I think of you,
Streams of tears roll down my cheeks,
Still now when I think of our lost friendship,
I’m totally lost in a tragic world of breaks…!
Whether you miss me, I don’t know,
But that every day and every where I do miss you is true,
Whether you believe it or not, but I’m not gonna show,
But throughout my life, I’ll hopefully wait for you!
Belief, faith, understandin’ and misunderstandin’ —
These are the words now I feel like hatin’,
Because of these words’ improper use,
Has most probably compelled my lovely friendship to diffuse!
I ne’er had a single thought that our friendship’ll ever break,
May be for my own carelessness our friendship had to wreck,
I agree it was my fault; now won’t you come back?
Cos’ I madly need your friendship, and that’s a fact!
I smile and laugh in the light,
I jump and play in the day,
People think me as ever happy and ever gay,
But do you know all the night I weep and cry??
Only for you whom I ne’er wanna say goodbye…!!!

Broken Heart
I let you have it.
I let you keep it.
Let you hold it and keep it safe.
Handed it back broken, bruised,and tore.
You didn’t keep it safe
Didn’t even love it.
Tore my heart in two.
You left it in the rain, thunder, and lighting.
Causing more destruction the Katrina could ever do.
Don’t bother to fix.
Just keep it tore.
Thinking it will mend itself.
My heart is ruined because of you.
Now fixing my heart
Like gluing broken glass back together.
Try to fit pieces with different colors.
Broken, Tore, Un-Loved, and Dead
Waiting, waiting ,and waiting
for someone else
to hand it back just like you.
Waiting and Un-Loved.
My heart is broken
and might never
love again.

Time Will Tell
The love we used to have
Is hard to forget
The pain of leaving
Is unbearable and dying.
The separation we had
Is just temporary
None of us knows
When we’ll meet again.
I believe this love
Will kindle again
Not now….
Perhaps, on another time.
I’ll wait…
Let this agonizing sadness
Just flies….
On the wings of time.
No true love
Can’t wait for the right time
So I’ll stay just here
And pray it will come soon.
TIME WILL TELL
When our hearts meet again
And freely show to them
Our true and lasting love.

Trying To Say All That Lies Within
Life begins an unusual trend,
From the start, till the end,
Have been trying to live tall,
But things eventually get a downfall,
Silence does mean a lot,
I’ve been so silent for all that thought,
Loosing everything for what I fought,
But there is something dear that I’ve lost,
A need for change I began to feel,
All these cuts & so many burns to heal,
I’ve been trying to say all that’s within,
But all I manage to give is a grin,
This negativity has placated my mind,
My emotions are the ones I’m bind,
Tried to say all that’s on my mind,
But consequences are all that I can define,
Pain & remorse have been my friends,
They keep pushing me from all ends,
Tried to own all this torture I go through,
But I feel weak; I know it’s tru
You’ve been my thought; you’ve been my strength,
You’ve been the one I’d always depend,
Tried to tell you all this truth,
But all along I was afraid to loose you,
Read my mind, read these tears,
Read these lines of despair my dear,
I’ve tried to tell all that lies within,
But you never asked me why I grinned?

Breakup
Here lays my heart
All broken and torn
There are no feelings left in it
For me to mourn
Here lays my mind
Which has repressed
All the memories we have shared
That have left me a mess
Here lays my soul
Which you took away
Along with my faith and trust in you
That you broke in a day
Here lays my body
All mangled and left to die
I hope that I can get through this
And find another guy
