I can't write anymore
My words don't seem to flow
I think real hard on what sounds good
but I never seem to know
His face pops in and out of my mind
trying to give me a creative go
but the only words that come to mind is
'Liar' 'Why' and 'No'
I wonder if he knows the impact on my life
he has made
How every guy I meet I compare them to him
No one will ever make the grade
He fed me all the bullshit lies
Telling me about my beautiful eyes
Giving me guidance and support
When I got a little toasted off defeat
But my words weren't as solid as concrete
I said I love you when it felt right
but took it back in my mind
That is one thing I couldn't afford to leave behind
And now today I regret all the words I never got to say
but who knows maybe in the end I saved
my self a 'friend' for another day

You told me you'd always love me
And the angels sang for us
But when I went to pull you near
Your heart was cold to touch
Ice pierced in through my veins
And straight into my heart
"Together forever" was what you said
And then you said "Let's part"
I didn't know just what to say
Or how to show my love
You looked away and kept right on
And didn't let me come
I searched the night to find your face
I walked all over town
Then I saw you holding her
Your heart had let me down
I knew right then you didn't care
And lied about our love
But you said you'd always love me
And that angels sang for us

Words fill the emptiness
And they tell me I have no soul
Wandering in the darkness
Life, please, take your toll
Watching as todays pass
like a fleeting memory
Walking through the looking glass
Alice sing your lullaby
Honor everything you have
And pray you never lose
Never say this is your last
Until you're forced to choose
Tell them all you will be waiting
As angels play their harps
Bend your knees and keep on praying
You'll never break their hearts

Boredom is taking over my mind
and turning it into nothing
I feel like screaming
with each passing, idle minute
screaming out to anyone
who can shake this lonely soul
into something time won't touch
The years are taking their toll
marking my face with wrinkles of pain
I'm young, but my face is scarred with tears
Wipe away the drops
and expose the eyes behind the glaze
Look deep inside and see only regret
Listen to the voice and hear only
the sound of uncertainty
Forward, now, is where they push me
mapping out each step
can't look back any longer
they tell me I have no past

Why does the world feel the need to drain me of everything that feels real
and fill me up with lies.
I try to be what they want me to be.
Fitting into society isn't as easy as they make it out to be.
I read all the magazines and follow it to the T.
I curl my hair the way they say to.
I paint my nails to match my dress.
I buy the make-up they advise,
but why does it all feel worthless.

Lost in time
A creature like no other
Wandering this world
A past she tries to smother
She travels all her life
Wondering where to go
If you keep on traveling,
there's never a face to know
This girl was lost by tragedy
A fate those try to hide
When people ask what's happened
she just makes up a lie
"I've run away from home," she says
She wishes this were true
For if her life were simple,
she'd know just what to do.
She lives on a whim
trusts only in herself
When others come too close, she says,
"I don't need any help."
