The I’m Sorry Game Poem

The I’m Sorry Game
December 18th, 2010

It was hard to say I was sorry
I did my best to show you
After all I put you through
To prove that my love was true.

Now I feel I need the same
Take some responsibility and blame,
But now it’s your turn to play…
The I’m sorry game.

Prove your love
Go above and beyond
Make me feel like I used to
Way before you were gone

Give me the fight
The effort, the desire
Don’t leave me out in the cold
Bring back the fire.

Ignite what it used to be
Save it for just you and me
After all we’ve been through
I know all I need is you

No Longer

[ 0 ] September 18, 2009

No Longer

It’s always a new excuse
Always a new reason
Another retreat from a fight
Making it my fault.

It shows you don’t care
Your fights are one-sided
Never mature enough
To understand both sides.

I’m tired of begging
I’m tired of pleading
Your attention isn’t worth it
It shouldn’t be a fight
It should be a given.

Going back to never enough
I’m sorry I don’t have anymore to give
My body, soul, and mind are so exhausted
From your constant ‘taking’.

I no longer have the strength
I no longer have the endurance
I no longer have the patience
I no longer have the will to make my heart hurt.

What Does It Mean?

[ 2 ] September 10, 2009

I’m not sure if I like this one, and it feels more like a song. Anyhow it’s new.

What Does It Mean?

What does it mean
When eye contact goes out the window
And avoidance becomes the regular
You seem to always avoid me,
And I hide way too much

No more quick hugs in the hallway
No more sweet kisses in the kitchen
No more love on the highway
No more subtle touches throughout the day

I grab your hand
I try to hold it
Like quicksand I fall right through
You brush me off every chance you get
As I reach to hug you
I hug myself…

Each time I fail my heart beats faster
Now all alone seems to be where I fit.

Silent Defeat

[ 0 ] September 9, 2009

Silent Defeat
Written 9/9/09!

It’s all coming back
The buried pain
Unresolved anger
The burning soul
And dissolving life

The pens run out of ink
The story of my heart
Exploding on to the page
Right through the paper.

The dark hole opening up
Trying to swallow me slowly
I’ve fought it for so long
I can’t get away

The darkness comes
The light goes black
The air runs cold
And I succumb to your attack

The only thing left is Silence
And Defeat.

My Love

[ 0 ] August 12, 2009

Broken Heart Bandaid

My Love

My love is shy, as it’s been hurt before
My heart has been broken piece by piece
But pulls together
To love again.

My love is unique, it takes care of everything
No matter the problem
My love is there
To fix it everything.

My love is sensitive
It hates doing all the work
One sided love
May be the worst pain of all.

My love is looking for a lover
To reciprocate loves fate
To come together and change
My love, into our love.

Losing Your Mind

[ 2 ] August 11, 2009

Losing Your Mind

It’s hard to say one thing
When everything comes out together
My thoughts are paragraphs
Instead of one line at a time.

Confused at what to think
When you’re always not sure
Careful where to go
When I’m never sure where you are.

I’ve lost your mind
It’s always somewhere else
I can only hope and pray
That I haven’t lost your heart as well

My Angelic Demon

[ 0 ] June 16, 2009

My Angelic Demon
written June 13th, 2009

Drinking is my Angelic Demon
The alcohol puts out the flames
The fire that engulfs my heart
Numbing the pain
That surrounds my life.

It stills my shaky hands
Clots my open wounds
Focuses my wandering mind
Calms my worried soul

To Quit
or Try To Forget
Is not a fair exchange
The impossible choice to make.

Each day is a battle
Only losing to win
The losing battle…
Again Tomorrow, it will begin.

Every Night

Every Night
written June 14th, 2009

Do you know how you got to bed last night?

I made your bed
Fluffed your pillows
Carried you across the room,
And tucked you in.

I’d tuck you in
Make you comfortable
Sing a son
For the rest of my life

Just so you’d sleep well
To ward off bad dreams
To keep you safe
From the darkness

Sometimes I wonder,
Why am I never tucked in?

The only thing missing for you…
Is a mint on your pillow.

Look Me in the Eyes

[ 0 ] February 3, 2009

Funny, this is what I wrote exactly 5 years ago. Must of been in class…

Look Me in the Eyes
February 3rd, 2004

Can you look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t need me?
Can you look me in the eyes and tell me you don’t love me?
As my eyes pierce your heart
Can you look me in the eyes… and watch mine fall apart?
Can you look me in the eyes…
And keep telling me these lies?
My eyes looking through you
Seeing right past you
Can’t you look into mine like you used to?
Can’t you gaze into mine like you did when you loved me?
Look into my eyes… You’ll never know what you’ll see
Entrancing… your eyes guide me
I want mine to do the same

Can I look you in the eyes…
And hold back these cries?
Can you look into my eyes? You and I… Forever.
This moment everlasting
Looking into mine… looking into yours
I couldn’t want anything more
Just this frozen moment in time
Look into my eyes… like you were mine

Can you look me in the eyes?
Can you… even… just… look at me?

Danity Kane Poetry Lyrics

[ 0 ] July 17, 2008

Danity Kane has a good and catchy CD this time around. Damaged is a little played out, so I suggest checking out this song. It’s Poetry.

Poetry

When I stand in a crowded room
I feel alone like nobody’s there
And when you talk cold to me
I can see your breath in the air
It’s taking it’s toll on me
In the bathroom taking showers
So you don’t see me cry
Baby it’s such a crime

I try to feel confident
I’m bitter, you’re not making sense
I missed you ’til you almost took my sanity
I started a new verse like

Poetry, you’re hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
I’m fighting
You’re hiding behind the words you’re speaking
You’re changing the words, I’m lost in the verse
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
Why are you hiding?

When I give you gratitude
You act like you don’t hear me speak
And when I tell you what you do to me
You don’t even hear the truth
What are you trying to prove
I stare out of the window for hours
Cause you don’t listen to me
You won’t even look in my eyes

I try to feel confident
I’m bitter you’re not making sense
I missed you ’til you almost took my sanity
I started a new verse like

Poetry, you’re hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
I’m fighting
You’re hiding behind the words you’re speaking
You’re changing the words, I’m lost in the verse
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
Why are you hiding?

Don’t believe what you’re saying
I read your face and I’m blanking
Cause I don’t know what’s in front of my eyes
I try to feel confident

I try to feel confident
I’m bitter – You’re not making sense
I missed you ’til you almost took my sanity

I’m starting a new verse like

Poetry, you’re hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
I’m fighting

Poetry, you’re hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
I’m fighting

Poetry, you’re hiding behind the words you speak
Changing the words of the story
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
I’m fighting
You’re hiding behind the words you’re speaking
You’re changing the words, I’m lost in the verse
You say you don’t love me then say that you love me
Why are you hiding?
