If Only You Stay

If only you stay

We'll play
We'll sway
Like sunrise at the California bay

We'll ski
We'll skate
I'll fix the roller skates

We'll ride
We'll jog
We'll watch the moonlight come

We'll study
We'll learn the alphabet
If only you stay

Woman Smile

Picture the sky without the stars above,
or a forest without trees.
Picture a person without a friend to love,
or an ocean without a breeze.

Picture a birthday without presents,
or a playground without a child.
But the saddest picture there is to see,
is a woman's face without a smile.

The face of a woman was made to smile,
and thereby she is blessed.
Above the creatures of field and stream,
the birds and all the rest.

A woman is just a little lower,
than the angels in the sky.
The reason is in her smile,
it's there her beauty lies.

- Bart Adams

All gone

Nothing matters
It’s all gone
I’m empty and she doesn’t care
It doesn’t matter
How I feel or what I say
She’s far away
And wouldn’t stay
No matter what I say
It wouldn’t matter anyway
I used to wait for the day
Just to hear her say
I miss you
Guess I was the biggest fool
Didn’t want to think you were cruel
I’m alone now and broken
Left without even one token
Of love or caring
It all died on my birthday
How could I be so daring?
Thought you would understand
Why I was so upset
Instead you got mad at me
And hung up on me
It’s been a week
You wouldn’t even talk to me
How could you do that to me?
Nothing matters at all
I used to stand so tall
Now I wish for the stars
To cover up all these scars
Far away and small
Wonder if your thinking about me at all
Again I’m a fool for thinking
Guess I should be drinking
If only that were the way to get rid of my sadness
And bring me some gladness
Like I used to have
When I was with you
It was long ago
Why can’t I just let it go?
Like you have
You don’t feel me anymore
You’ve stopped keeping score
It’s all gone, as are you
Now I’m left with nothing to do
But brew
Over what once was
Just because
I’m an idiot and cared
And that is why I dared
To say what I said on my birthday
But I shouldn’t have shared
Because now I feel scared
And lost
And lonely
And hurt
And angry
And stupid
To think there ever was a cupid
For the two of us
Why did I make such a fuss?
It’s all over
I should just roll over
Because nothing matters anymore
You think I’m a bore
You think I’m a chore
And probably a whore
I can’t erase my mistakes
I believed you had forgiven me
I believed you loved me
And even when that part of it ended
I believed that at least there was something that mended
And that we had a friendship
You said you still adored me
You said that your heart still tightened
And that you would become frightened
When I was in trouble
And caught in some bubble
I believed you would help me
Get out of the rubble
Of this life that I live
In Binghamton while you are in Texas
Instead of staying close to me
You chose to make distance
I felt it but ignored it
I thought it was what you needed
I thought I would give it to you
Because you were my friend
And I loved you
I didn’t mind letting you go
I just didn’t want to lose you for good
Yet I did.
How could I know that you would
Let me go?
You let go fast
You forgot our past
Yes we had a past
A good past, a bad past
A past nonetheless
I understand you though
You don’t want to remember it
You’d rather forget what we had
It is easier that way
I understand that
Who would want to remember the hurt?
So you let me go fast and furious
Anytime I tried to talk about our past
You ran away fast
And I was left last
And I acted rash
It made me so sad though
That I was so slow
To recognize what you did
Long ago
And what others could see
But I never wanted it to be like that
And so I sat, and got fat
Denying what you could see
Which was what could again never be.
You saw the truth in front of us
Coming at us like a bus
About to hit
Difference between you and me was,
You got out of the way
And I chose to stay
In the way
Of a tragedy
Which was my soul shattered
You had sense enough to scatter
While I was like, "what's the matter"?
What a fool I was
Thinking that you still loved me like you once did
When instead you saw me as a kid
A fool and youngster
Naïve to the core
I have always been so unsure
This is not your problem though
And you made that clear
When you forgot all that I held dear

What a feeling

Darling what can I say
from this love I will never stray
I'm here to stay, till my last day
you show me the way, I will never draw away
I love you more each day

There's more to you than anyone could ever guess
I must confess
over you I obsess
I try not to express, but its hard to suppress

Your just too good
I love you more than I should
everything I told you, you understood
I would kiss you if I could
your unique
you make me weak
your not like other guys
your so wise ^_^
oh and did I tell you
darling I love your eyes!

Get it over

You don't have to speak to tell me something
You don't have to be ugly to scare me away
You don't have to be mean to stab me in the back
You don't have to be slick to be a slithering snake

I have to be stupid to believe your words
I had to be crazy to think you were different
I have to be insane to want you to want me
I had to be naive to believe your facade

We have to start talking to get over this
We have to start breathing to live again
We have to get over our stupid problems
We have to bring this darkness to its needed end

End of love

I walked before he could walk from me,
I tried not to love, for fear he was pretending,
I tried not to care, while he moved on from girl to girl,
Tried not to fear the tear of my heart, while he flirted.

Well now my hearts broken,
And I'm left with the tears I'm crying,
I'm left alone, guess it was all my fault.
I shouldn't have let you go,
and should have let you know..

That I'd do anything for you,
I'd set the world on fire, if you asked me too,
I'd spend a whole day, just dreaming of your face,
And I'd waste paper, just scribbling your name.

I know I messed up big this time around,
And I know, that you really don't care about me, anymore,
I know you love flirting and one night stands,
but just hear me out baby, try to understand.
I miss you, I love you, I want you back,
Baby can't you see all that?

Can't you see that I've changed, from better to worse,
that I've gone down a road, I haven't been before,
And that I'm scared, cause I don't know what to do,
get drunk get high, cut the pain away,
its all I can do, anymore.. Baby I'm so scared..
I lost the only thing I cared about.

So when you hear this, know I did care,
that I was just so scared,
Im sorry for all I did wrong, Im sorry for all I didn't love,
Im sorry for all I didn't notice, your sweetness..
Baby I miss you every day, and every night..
I miss being able to talk to you, all the time,
but I miss how distant we've become.

So forgive me, for singing this song,
cause baby, I knew all along,
this love story, would come to an end,
The end just came sooner than I ever expected.

So with these last words, I end this song,
I end this wonderful love..
Now begins the heartbreak and sadness,
lonely nights.
The End of everything, I ever wanted or had.
It's the end now.

- Misty-Day Elizabeth

I am sorry

Sorry for irritating all,
Sorry for disappointing all.
I did not think of doing all this,
I did not mean to do all this

I tried my best,
I did my best.
But I failed,
But I was unsuccessful.

What I did in the end was the only way,
What I did in the end was the only solution.
I had no other choice,
I had no other alternative.

My mind was full of thoughts,
My mind was confused.
I hope all will forgive me,
I hope all will forget what I have done.

Can my actions really be forgiven?
Can my actions really be forgotten?
I am remorseful,
I am sorry.
