Wish it was me

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

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

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

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

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 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.

 

 

Sleepless

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

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

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

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

No voice

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

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.

 

Step by step

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

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.

It happens in an instance.

a specific time, the first occurrence.

it can take a while

it can be instantaneous.

thats the best part of it,

the uncertainty, the mystery

but you’ll know right away

when everything changes.

that moment you realize

its just not the same.

it can break you

or make you whole.

dependent on another

scary in thought

perfect in theory

everyone wants it

they strive to find it

and if you’re lucky enough to get it

youll never regret it.

its what we all want

to fall in love.

 

Eyes Like Windows

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

I can see through her eyes like windows.

The picture is clear but it’s not sunny.

I see her standing in the rain.

Nothing is moving but it’s full of chaos.

Something’s not right but the windows not lying.

She drops to the ground and everything falls.

I can see her hurting, screaming for help.

She looks up to the sky; She’s crying.

Nobody’s there to help her; Somebody help her!

The picture thunders, it gets darker.

Her world is bleak, it’s falling apart.

She tries to stand but is too weak.

Looks to the sky, she’s asking why?

A shadow comes into the picture,

shields her from the world.

Her world starts to gleam.

She stands on her own, no more crying.

She turns around and smiles with eyes like windows.
