Star Of My Own

I want a star that shines just for me
One that shines so bright, only I can see
I want a star I can call my own
Somewhere close so I’ll never be alone
To warm me up when the days are cold
To hold my hand when I get wrinkly and old
I want a star that shines just for me
Please show yourself wherever you may be
I want a star I can call my own
I don’t want some silly imitation clone
What’s the point in silver and gold
When I can have something more daring more bold
A star of my own

Just Yesterday

Just yesterday
We were in love
Everything was perfect
Never again
Why did you leave me?
Because I wanted you

Just yesterday
We were in each others arms
Why should we break up?
Am I a fool?
I fell in love
Because I trusted you

Just yesterday
We were holding hands
Everything felt right
Does it have to be this way?
There’s no going back
Because I loved you

Just yesterday
We were smiling
You promised me
This is so hard
Why are we separating?
Because I need you

Just yesterday
We were happy
Heart, I’m sorry
I’m holding my tears in
Because I missed you
Just yesterday…
Just yesterday…

In Another Life

We are often drawn to things of which we cannot experience
In another life we say, we’re not realizing our own life’s brilliance
We often want and wish for things in life that we envision
In another life it’d be different though we can’t make that decision
We often ignore the simple things in life that are around us
In another life perhaps we won’t be jealous, that would be a plus
We are often blind to things in front as we’re standing still
In another life we say, it’d be more exciting, more of a thrill
We are often swayed by all the desire of  “what ifs”
In another life we believe it would be full of gifts
We often are dazzled by what we think is above
In another life we think that maybe we could find love
We are often looking for something and are easily lead astray
In another life we say, things will go our way
We often ask “ourselves why can’t that be me?”
In another life possibly we all can agree
We often think that we can run or hide from any problem
In another life we would let ourselves blossom
We often view this world as complicated
In another life maybe it would be easier
In another life…

Picture Perfect

Look at those two
They look great together
Just enjoying the view
They can make it through any weather
Those two get along so well
Walking hand in hand
They’re in love idiot can’t you tell?
I think they had this planned
Working towards their goals collectively
Makes you wonder how they worked
Both have each others back respectively
Who knew their love could be so Picture Perfect

Real Friends Duet w/JustPatty

So far away, but close to my heart
Can you see me smile?
Real friends are never apart
Standing stronger together

I gave you something I hold very dear
Can you make this promise?
No, don’t worry there’s nothing to fear
Walking hand in hand

Two souls, meeting once again
Can you feel it?
Just stay calm, count to ten
Having each others back

You helped me in my time of need
Can you stay with me?
Your space in my heart has grown like a seed
True friends till the end

No way that I will let you go
Can you hear me?
Through light and shadow
Never alone again

I can see you smiling
I can will make that promise
I can feel it, our souls meeting once again
I can hear you calling out
Real friends

The Ugly Truth

You made your decision I hope that it brings you joy
You didn’t want to build me up, you just wanted to destroy

Destroy every part of us that I ever believed was true
Destroy every piece of my mind I ever thought I knew

Thanks to you I’m broken, I’ve lost my way
Thanks to you though I get to live another day

Another day to find the person that won’t bring me down
Another day to find the one who hates to see me frown

The pain you put my heart through will be hard to wash away
The heart, when given to you shouldn’t be treated as child’s play

In the end the words I spoke I guess they didn’t matter
In the end your words were all useless muddled chatter

I now have to rebuild my walls up, for me that was intense
Because ever since that day my life hasn’t made any sense

And that’s the ugly truth

NaPoWriMo Day 23

You See Right Through Me

I can’t keep any secrets from you
My feelings for you if only you knew
Without you lifting a finger I fell in love so true
I can’t stop this feeling nor do I want to

How do you do that so effortlessly
Make me do this one thing, falling in love so carelessly
My heart has been broken before so I tread carefully
I accept you fully without a second guess so readily

There are no shadows I can hide from
My heart is beating fast and hard like a bass drum
Some things I don’t want you to see, you might think I’m scum
Nothing more to do, guess I’ll have to succumb

I can’t run, nor can I flee
You gaze upon me only to set me free
Inner workings of my mind are your playground you have the key
The key no one else has, you see right through me
