L.O.V.E. It swallows you whole, Exceeds your control. Apprehends your soul, Until it has taken its toll. It’s an overwhelming feeling. That is made to be appealing And you can’t help revealing, The doubts you are concealing. It’s an undefined dimple And a well known jingle. But only when you are single Does it all seem so simple. It is one of life’s many gifts, That empowers and uplifts And can lead you adrift. Should you miss your shift. It is impossible to describe it. It is impossible to fight it. Because once it is ignited And once you have tried it. It will take your independence. You will become used to it

Friend Zone. I just can never seem to get it right. How can she say that I am not her type? After the constant phone calls and the facebook messages And listening to you talk about all of your annoying relatives. I thought that you and I could’ve been something. I know now you think all guys are just after one thing. Especially after the last guy and what he did to you And I thought since I was the person you came running to. That maybe, eventually there could be something between us And you would believe me when I say I am not thinking of my penis. When I say I long to hear your voice, even if it's only for a little while And I love

Chain smoking behind crumbling bike sheds We’d amble across deserted swing sets Sipping bad coffee and reading about dead poets You with a charcoal smudge in the crease of your lips I with ink stained fingertips We’d speak of what it is like to be human And how devastatingly beautiful self-destruction is Because you had holes in your arms and I had lines on my hips And there really wasn't much to say Other than how the skies looked like smoke and dioxide vomit Pooling onto our broken pupils

 and I told her; water won't waste gravity. she breathed in scraps of a wonderful life, until she melted down. (she loved to swim - sea-burns & headaches; the way it made her smile, she couldn't stop) her clammy breaths enraptured humidity, as heat felt her up. (she wanted to drown - wayward & dehydrated; this time it made her energy stagnate)   and I told her; water won't waste gravity.

only two days ago We were best friends we laughed and we sang and we played pretend. What happened yesterday that made you change your mind about sticking with each other till the end of time? On the phone we'd talk till dawn then we'd meet up for school in the early morning But now today has come and now i sing alone and I don't feel like talking on the phone Because you're not here and oh how it hurts My best friend disappeared off the face of the earth

Shed a tear for the Marine for he is not allowed to cry He's as tough as he can be And they're never allowed to hide Shed a tear for the Marine for when the world is calling They are the first ones to the field To fight for those that have fallen I shed a tear for my Marine For he means the world to me And I feel safer now at night Knowing he's watching over me Shed a tear for the Marine For time doesn't fly by Three long months in Paris Island And he's a Marine until he dies So Shed a tear for the Marine For he is not allowed to cry He is more than just a soldier He is a friend to all mankind

There's a certain beauty That has captured my eye Her friendship would behoove me I can not pass her by She may not be pencil thin but to me, that is okay She won't be taken by the wind So her body I will not trade. She may not be Americas top model but there's no doubt that she is fine The space between our eyes like tunnels Their beauty traveling into my mind. She may not be the next Einstein But she is smart enough for me She says the right thing at the right time And puts my heart at ease She may not be perfect to others but everyone makes mistakes The only real crime she has ever mustered Was the taking of my heart today She may n

I sit and watch the nomads roam Struggling to find a place to call home I compare them to myself even though i have a house But it is barren an empty and I sit in it alone Where have all the good people gone The shoulders that the weak can cry on until dawn If you check all the abandoned houses then you will know that just because they are good doesn't mean they are strong Eventually the good will gather In a never ending quest for some place better And if we don't find it none of that will matter Because we have found a home in just being together Now we have become the nomads that roam Struggling to find a place for us to call our home W

If you are reading this Then you have every right to smile You have eyes that can see Don't fight happiness with denial You have a mind that comprehends And hands that can move a mouse You have electricity for your computer And you are sitting in your house I dont want you to feel guilty Just appreciate whats yours Because no matter how bad life is Someone else has it worst So indulge in your life find the happiness inside it may be buried deep but don't lose it without a fight And when you are feeling all alone I will be right by your side Bringing you from the dark and leading you to the light

I bartered my soul away For the boy with wolf eyes He locked me behind his teeth He carved snake bites into my lips And tore apart the gilded edges of my lashes In an endeavor to uncover some semblance of my siren words He broke apart my ribs in an attempt To find my landmine heart Which held no sound
