I try to hide the truth
but no amount of lies
can hide the way I feel about you.
the butterflies in my stomach
when I look into your eyes
the goosebumps on my arms
every time I see you smile
the racing of my heart beat
every time we kiss
the unreal feeling I get
whenever I’m with you
the pain of knowing
you and me won’t be
but I won’t ever leave
cause of what you mean to me
My friend.
I’m sittin up at night
daydreamin of what it’d be like
to have your love
sharin my heart with yours
stayin up late, listenin to your voice
holding you in my arms
gettin goosebumps every time we kiss
but he’s the one
makin you smile
holdin his hand
as I’m hurtin
and hidin my feelings
wishin it was me
Always there when you need
listening to your hopes
standin by your side
as you chase your dreams
encouraging you through hard times
believin in you when you’re doubting
but he’s the one
Makin you smile
holdin his hand
as I’m hurtin
and hiding my feelings
wishing it was me
And I see you with him
a painful reminder of my reality
that he’s the one making you happy
as I’m standing in the background
lettin you be, hoping one day you’ll see
that I wish it was me
but he’s the one
Makin you smile
holdin his hand
as I’m hurtin
and hiding my feelings
wishing it was me
but he’s the one
Makin you smile
holdin his hand
as I’m hurtin
and hiding my feelings
wishing it was me
beautiful without doubt
desirable beyond comprehension
eyes like oceans
shallows show happiness
depths feel pain
truth not seen
lies Float atop
cries on inside
a broken smile
begs for help
strength hides hurt
like nothings wrong
hugs her gently
Kisses her cheek
a subtle whisper
provides small glimpse
truth he sees
Strong, caring, sincere
brave, honest, empathetic
Loving, passionate, beautiful
hope she believes
This her truth
beautiful without doubt
Beautiful girl,
why are you so sad?
beautiful girl,
Why are you crying?
youve been hurt
Trust betrayed
lied to and let down.
Giving your heart
to all the wrong guys
trusted them
to take care of it.
They had other ideas,
looking for one thing,
The intention to deceive
and leave when they get it.
Beautiful girl,
i see you hurting
scared to trust
hesitant to let others in.
Im sorry,
you deserve better.
find someone to encourage you
build you up, and care for you.
beautiful girl,
Don’t let them take what is yours,
what makes you special, unique, beautiful.
trust in yourself, love selflessly,
smile without pain
believe in the hope.
Beautiful heart
beautiful soul
beautiful mind
beautiful eyes
beautiful smile
You’re beautiful
flaws, faults, and doubts
makes you who you are.
beautiful girl.
She says she’s damaged
that she’s broken, unworthy
of all the nice things he tells her.
but the truth is, she’s scared
because it all might be true.
she can’t comprehend
that someone can see all the good,
not care about the bad.
he can see past all of it
theough all the hurt, regrets, and walls.
seeing her for who she really is
someone who believes in the best
a heart full of love
someone who deserves better
and it kills him, to not be the one
who makes her see all her beauty.
but all he can do is hope
for her to find the happiness
that he wants to give her.
Long sleepless nights
the heartache is too much
thinking about the love
i wish we could have.
whiskey out the bottle
cant hide the pain.
lying still, restless thoughts
knowing you’re happy
with somebody else.
still wishing you the best
But hoping to find
the happiness with you
that always seems
to evade my grasp.
everyday, a smile appears
everytime I see your text
just glad to have you in my life
knowing how amazing you are
hoping one day
you see what I see in you
and for one day
for us to be
what I hope for us to be.
She doesn’t know
how smart she really is
the amount of potential she has
that she can do anything she wants
she doesn’t know
theres butterflies when she talks
a heartbeat skips when she smiles
im breathless when she looks at me
she doesn’t know
How beautiful her heart is
the amazing person she is
What she really means to me
she doesn’t know
Joy is talking to her
happiness is being with her
love is knowing her
Lonely in the dark
i can hear the faint sound
of tears hitting the ground.
im in the distance
but feel like I’m right there.
so young but so sad
they wish to be left alone
but that’s just the fear
of getting close.
their cries are loud
their pain is real.
they pretend they’re happy
dont want to draw attention
everyone walks by
not blinking an eye
continuing to ignore
the silent despair of
those who weep alone.
living in their world
without imperfections and flaws.
the voices are many
the voices are loud
but none of the voices
are for the ones
that have no voice.
Every second, every moment
a memory is being made.
over a lifetime of moments
some are relived, some are forgotten.
some are remembered vividly
and some exist only to those who saw.
but, it is still your life, your history.
it can’t be rewritten or changed
it’s just there as a reminder
of who you used to be.
to learn from your mistakes,
to remember the good times and bad,
to not forget but not repeat.
your history is your past
but doesn’t have to be your future.
the unknown is thrilling
the mystery is exciting.
New moments are to come
new laughs and new surprises.
sometimes it’s best to forget the history
and chase after something new.
its going to be scary
and it’s not always gonna be perfect.
the only question is
would you rather be safe living in your history
and miss out on lofe
or take a chance on the future
and live with no regrets.
Step by step
he continued into the darkness.
unable to see ahead,
all he can do Is keep moving forward.
trying to listen for help
but his mind is full of doubt.
worried he’ll be stuck forever
wandering alone in the dark.
close to giving up
he starts to stumble and fall
When someone reaches to take his hand.
the world is lifted off his shoulders
and his mind is at ease.
guiding him towards the light
he finally begins to see
the image of the person helping him.
as he finally escapes the dark
he sees all he’ll ever need in life.
his true love.
