Stay

When I look at you
I see part of me.
But those piercing eyes
are infinity.

Not like mine
that are filled with dreams.
But to have you in them
is the most amazing thing.

There isn’t a thing about you
I’m not falling for.
Even through this mess
I’m still wanting more.

The first time we met
something in me knew
I wanted no one else
more than I want you.

But silence has fallen
since that incredible time
when you looked into my eyes
and your hand was in mine.

I was expecting the worst
because this is all too familiar.
But for what came next,
I wasn’t prepared to endure.

Long nights without you here
made one week feel like a year.
My heart raced, as did my mind.
Thinking about you so many times.

Anxiety at an all time high
Hope at an all time low.
One thing is for sure.
I’m not ready to let you go.

I’ve never fallen so hard
in so little of time.
But the commonalities we share,
it couldn’t feel more right.

You need to work on yourself
and I need to work on mine.
I didn’t know that would mean
you’d need to leave my side.

I know what this is.
I’ve been here before.
But I know you’re different.
You’re worth waiting for.

There’s something in your words.
that spark in your eye
that keeps me waiting,
and keeps my hope alive.

But this is the part
when you step away
and don’t return,
leaving me astray.

Nobody has been different,
but now we’re here today.
To the man of my dreams;
Please tell me you’ll stay.

An order of A Dream Come True with a side of Emotions

You're feeling lost and confused
you have to find someone new,
and take them where they hate to be
accept when they are with you.

You've known a while that I've liked you
and now it may be coming true.
Please don't back out on me.
My hopes will come down, shattering.

It feels so good to be so bad,
but you're so nervous I'm going mad.
Not because of what I know,
but because of what I don't.

I don't know what you really think.
Like a puppet, you play with my strings.
I dance and dance so happily
but the butterflies flap their wings.

I'm nervous, I'm weightless, I'm speechless now.
My dream is coming true, but how?
Your lips touch mine, I become alive.
I am sure it's real this time.

Its not a dream anymore,
You're just what I've been waiting for,
Your eyes, your smile, I completely adore.
I've had a taste, and I want more.

You left me waiting with no guarantee.
You said you might come back for me.
But if you will, I can't be sure.
I'll just wait for your return.

So should I hold
my breath for you now?

Here it goes,
don't let me down.

Dancefloor Beauty

You left me on the dance floor,
but I can still feel the beat.
I'll keep swayin' and I'll keep prayin'
that someone will sweep me off my feet.

Hands up in the air
like we're touching the sky.
Like a cop and robber climax,
hold em' up there, keep em' high.

With my feet on the ground
and my head in the clouds,
I just can't help
but to feel so aroused.

You've never looked
so beautiful before
out there movin'
all over the dance floor.

With your fish-nets up
and your high heels on,
baby, you look
like you belong.

Come back to me,
I'll show you how
this dance is done,
I'll make you proud.

Trust me now
like never before,
and maybe I'll show
you something more.

How this is done,
I'm not so sure
But baby, I'll try
not to lose my words.

Because you've got
me speechless now.
Let's take two steps
and turn around.

Let's start over
and try again,
because I have
messed up, my friend.

Take my hand,
lets dance again.
If you don't trust me,
at least pretend.

Because you left
for some other guy.
I thought it was just
you and I.

But alone, I stand
in the club.
As the lights
flash from above.

'Cause you left me out on the dance floor,
but I can still feel the beat.
Baby, baby, rock my world.
come on over and dance with me.

Maybe This Time

Maybe this time, it'll be different.
Maybe this time, it'll be real.
Maybe this time, I'll think.
Maybe this time, I'll feel.

Maybe this time, I'll laugh.
And maybe this time, I'll cry.
Maybe this time I'll feel
comfort in you and I.

Maybe this time I won't need a wish,
because maybe I'll already have mine.
Maybe this time I won't have to wish
upon airplanes in the night sky.

Maybe this time, I can forget them.
And maybe this time, I can focus on you.
Maybe this time, I can look into your eyes.
And maybe this time, you'll look in mine too.

Maybe this time, we'll slow down
at all of the good parts.
Maybe this night
we could spend under the stars.

Maybe this time, we'll follow through.
Maybe this time, it's our cue.
Maybe this time, the spotlights on us.
And maybe this time I'll be there with you.

Maybe this time I'll be happy
Maybe this time, you'll stay mine.
But that's what I say
every time.

Alcohol

Alcohol
can kill it all.
Kill your words.
You won't recall.

Alcohol
can kill the mood.
But I'm just fine,
you assume.

Alcohol
is death with a bite
death of relationships,
or death of a life.

Alcohol
can take it all
and crumble it
into a ball.

Alcohol
on your breath.
Make your lips
taste like sweet death.

Alcohol
makes me want to cry.
What it makes you say
say about you and I.

Alcohol
masquerades the pain
but only for a while.
Then truth will remain.

Alcohol
turns you into
someone that I
never knew.

Alcohol
will slur your words.
So I won't understand,
but I'm concerned.

I am concerned
That the next two
things it will ruin
is me and you.

~ ~ ~

Seeing you
intoxicated
is something I
really heated.

And intoxicated
is one thing I
won't ever be
after tonight.

Rejection

For most of my life,
I've been content
with all I have,
even lonliness.

Its not something
you get used to
in as little as
a day or two.

For years and years
I've fought the fears,
saved the heartbreak,
saved the tears.

From the chance
of being rejected.
Its like a bite,
and I'm being infected.

But when I see your face,
butterflies flap their wings
one hundred miles an hour
inside of me.

I never knew
your brown eyes
and your black hair
would be a suprise.

A suprise for me?
Or perhaps a clue.
Maybe something
thats long overdue.

Or just another dream
I've wished to come true?
And another dose of rejection
will be issued.

I'd prefer all of these
lonely nights and TV
over you and your sweet
rejection to me.

But please tell me
I'm wrong about you.
And just maybe
you're thinking of me too.

Glass Heart

Things go up.
Things come down.
But things don't shatter
until they hit the ground.

Red like blood,
But breakable like glass.
When you speak
It beats too fast.

Too fast for you.
Too fast for me.
Too fast for us.
Too fast to dream.

To dream of love
between you and me
under the stars
for eternity.

It's easy for you
to do this to me
to shatter my world
and leave it be.

Life is sweet,
Be not too shy.
Tis hard at times
to keep a head held high.

Quiver thy lips.
Open thine eyes.
Hold thy heart
toward the sky.

I'll hold it up
where you can't reach
so you can't tear it
piece by piece.

It's not that I don't
have the tape or glue.
Its just that I've learned
a thing or two.

Not enough truths
to so many lies.
Can't be too careful
in this life of mine.

I've tried it all
to be with you.
And now I know
one thing thats true

Limits exist
for you and I.
I don't give up.
I'll try and try.

I'll fight it out
to the end.
just to see
you my friend.

And sometimes things
aren't what they seem.
Like I'm stuck
inside a dream.

Hope is all
I can hold.
Just until
truth unfolds.

From this, I
have something learned.
Something dear,
I won't return.

Something about
you and I,
promises,
as well as lies.

Here's the thing
I've held onto.
The only thing
that is true.

It's that my heart
is just too
breakable for
someone like you.
