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 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.

Eyes Like Windows

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.

 

I Miss You

You were lost before I knew
what it meant to be without.
You were loved before I knew
what it meant to care.
You were missed before I knew
what it meant to remember.
I miss you.
Everyday I feel the hurt
Of not really knowing you.
Everyday I wish for more time
More memories to hold onto
Everyday I’m thankful for
The memories you got to make.
I miss you.
You are found now
In our memories.
You are loved now
In our hearts.
You are here now
In our thoughts.
I miss you.

Her Eyes

A gentle subtleness,
A pool of hope,
A hint of uncertainty,
A twinkle in the night,
A look of desire,
A gleam in the dark,
A sense of curiosity,
A sea of love,
A soft-spoken poem,
gives me butterflies
for she has
the most beautiful eyes.

My Dream

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

While I sleep at night,

I dream of where I want to be.

Every night a silent reminder,

Of whom I want to be.

When I awake the next morning,

I get back to work.

If I take the easy road,

My dreams will become nightmares

Reminding me of what my dream used to be.

Reflection

~ erikvp18 ~ Leave a comment

My reflection talks to me.

It tells me my flaws.

I try to hide them

but they’re always seen.

I don’t like my reflection,

it never has anything nice to say.

I try to stay hidden,

maybe no one will notice.

Someone makes fun of me,

and my reflection just laughs.

Tomorrow my reflection won’t say anything,

because I will no longer have one.
