Wherever I am,
Whoever I'm with,
Apathy sits in the pit of my soul.
Melodramatic my writings may be,
Expressive of thoughts and feelings they are.
Accurate Depth,
Perception falls short.
Writing with ease,
Flowing with words,
Empty of meaning,
Without direction.
My brain is wrinkled,
With repetitive thoughts
Of petty introspection.

Weh!
I have these feelings, deep inside,
feelings that I have to hide.
I don't know if he feels that way too.
I don't know what to do.
When we're together, I feel uptight,
When he's not around, it doesn't feel right.
I dream about what we can do,
And all the things we can pursue.
I yearn just to feel his touch,
And when he leaves, I miss him so much.
I want to feel his lips against mine
And feel our bodies intertwine.
Until then I will retain this rush,
And until then I'll contain my crush.

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

Poetry
Poetry wasn't written to be analyzed.
It was meant to inspire without reason;

Real Friends
A real friend would forgive
If I did something wrong.
A real friend will lend a hand
Whenever I'm not strong.
A real friend would listen
If I tried to speak.
A real friend will accept
Whether I am strong or weak.
A real friend would care
If I ever fell ill.
A real friend will know
How I really feel.
A real friend would always be there
If I need them by my side.
A real friend will remember me
Long after I have died.
A real friend would be forever
If I even moved away.
A real friend will never truly leave,
In each others hearts we shall always stay.

Weh!
Give me a hint,
Just one little clue
To let me know why
I'm crushing...
Don't make me feel silly
Or worse, even shy
And I'll listen to what you have to say
If you just tell me why
Is it the way you listen,
and talk to me,
Or the look on your face
When I do something silly?
Is it the cute habits you have unlike no one else
That make me wish I could have you all to myself?
Just one little clue

Love Lost
I tell myself each night
before I sleep, not to cry.
Pinning for love lost,
not believing it's now not mine.
Tears won't stop flowing,
the heart won't stop aching.
Hey, are you a man or a weakling?!
I don't know, because the heart's not telling.
I had love you
more than life itself.
I had missed you
more than anything else.
So am I just dreaming
or has caring and loving remained memories,
like forsaken pictures on the shelf?
Time may tell me you were right;
leaving behind our love so sweet,
basking in such glorious light.
But for now and forever too,
my heart's dying, losing the will to fight.
Do what you must,
you always know what's best for you.
I will still love you just the same,
and miss you until my flesh turns to dust.

Are You Sleepwalking Through Life?
A life is not worth living if you are sleepwalking through it. We cannot sleepwalk. We cannot just survive, anything goes. We can take control of our lives, we can quit sleepwalking, we can say - right now, these are our lives, it is time to start living it. It is time to not second guess, to move forward, to make mistakes if we have to, but to do it with a greater good in mind.

Comes and Goes
This one's for the lonely
The ones that seek and find
Only to be let down
Time after time
This one's for the torn down
The experts at the fall
Come on friends get up now
You're not alone at all
And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves, i....
This one's for the faithless
The ones that are surprised
They are only where they are now
Regardless of their fight
This one's for believing
If only for it's sake
Come on friends get up now
Love is to be made
And this part was for her
This part was for her
This part was for her
Does she remember?
It comes and goes in waves,
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I try
This is for the ones who stand
For the ones who try again
For the ones who need a hand
For the ones who think they can
It comes and goes in waves,
I am only led to wonder why
It comes and goes in waves
I am only led to wonder why
Why I try

Love...
Love, I have come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime.
Love is sustained by action, a passion of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.

Expectō
i woke up this morning thinking of you
and i wondered if you were thinking of me too.
i sat up and thought about our last goodbye
and all i could do was sit there and cry.
it's hard to let you go when i know what we could be
i just have to wait until the day that you will finally see.
maybe someday you'll realize how much i love you
and maybe you'll realize that you love me too.
but until we meet what could be fate
i'll just sit here thinking of you and wait.

Te Amo
Love me today but not tomorrow.
Look into my eyes and let me know you care.
Put your hand in mine and keep it there.
Don't say a word but don't look away.
Warm my heart with your smile.
Keep the love-light in your eyes.
Let me sing you a lovely tune,
To chase your troubles away.
Let me hear the sound of your laughter,
It is like the first rain of spring.
Speak to me words I so long to hear;
It brings the glow of summer to a cold spell.
Let me love you forever
With a love I alone can give;
A love that's strong and pure,
That through the years will endure.
And when things go wrong,
Love me still and don't look away.
Look into my eyes and let me know you care.
Put your hand in mine and keep it there.
Don't say a word but don't look away.
Warm my heart with your smile.
Keep the love-light in your eyes.
Let me sing you a lovely tune,
To chase your troubles away.
Let me hear the sound of your laughter,
It is like the first rain of spring.
Speak to me words I so long to hear;
It brings the glow of summer to a cold spell.
Let me love you forever
With a love I alone can give;
A love that's strong and pure,
That through the years will endure.
And when things go wrong,
Love me still and don't look away.

Who Cares?
I churn inside;
an inner turmoil.
Not a soul knows.
Why? I can't tell them,
I didn't tell them,
there's no need to tell them.
I sense an impending doom;
I feel helpless. Because
there's no one behind me,
nobody with me.
It's a physical ache;
this feeling of disaster.
I'd like to cry though,
I'd like to cry a river,
I'd like to cry this out of my system.
I have stubborn tears,
they wouldn't fall,
they don't want to stain
my hardened cheeks,
they don't want to ease
the physical pain in my heart.
I'm tired of fighting.
I'm tired of being strong.
I've had enough of protecting myself.
Let them all come to me,
let them all rain down on me.
Who cares?
Let them!

Why Do We Need Poetry?
We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.
But poetry, beauty, romance, love,
These are what we stay alive for.
Professor Keating (Robin Williams)
in Dead Poet's Society

Prince Charming
Every girl wants her own prince charming.
And while he may be nice and all,
I'm thinking that I'd rather have the guy
Who will call at 4 a.m. just to say "I love you".
Or someone who'll stop by my house just after hanging up on the phone
Just because he wants to see how I'm "really" doing,
Because I said I was fine but he knows that I'm lying.
Or the guy who'll stay home on a saturday night with me
Because I'm sick and brings me candy
Even though I can't eat it.
That guy.
That one guy.
He may not be "prince charming" to anyone else,
But he'd be my hero,
My knight in shining armor.
The guy who'd stay awake just to watch me sleep...

Wondering, Wandering...
I sometimes find I'm drifting
Through this life without effect;
I often wonder if I'm truly
Worth what I've been blessed.
I search through days that have been hard,
To try to understand,
The many trials that I have known,
The life that I have had.
You see me in my daily grind,
So confident and strong;
Yet when I am alone, I question
Just where I belong.
I often try too hard I find,
To analyze and guess,
To scrutinize, investigate
My life I will confess.
For somewhere deeper, there must be
Some meaning to this life,
Some way to make a difference,
Give a reason for this strife.
Is there some hidden meaning?
Some agenda to be found?
A greater purpose waiting
If I care to hang around?
It teases and it taunts me,
Always slightly out of sight;
A hazy vision out of reach,
Where darkness hides the light.
I struggle to bring clarity
To what awaits me there,
And yet this weak illusion
Always fades before my stare.
It seems the harder that I try,
To focus through the haze,
Just serves to add more questions,
Through my endless, tired gaze.
Perhaps I'm trying just too hard,
To understand it all,
For can we ever truly know
Just what we have in store?
Each incident, each moment passed,
Just adds upon the next,
But in the end, will I find truth ...
Or will I be perplexed?
Perhaps I make it harder
Than it has to be sometimes,
But will my searching bring to me
My meaning over time?
Or will it leave me broken,
And confused as I feel now,
While questions bring no solitude,
To this, my wrinkled brow.

Lady Gaga's Inner Arm Tattoo
From her favorite philosopher, Rainer Maria Rilke...
The English translation is...
"In the deepest hour of the night, confess to yourself that you would die if you were forbidden to write.
And look deep into your heart where it spreads its roots, the answer, and ask yourself, must I write?"

Fallin' out, fallin' in
Nothing's sure in this world, no no
Breaking down, breaking in
Never knowing what lies ahead
We can really never tell it all, no no
Say goodbye, say hello
To a lover or friend
Sometimes we could never understand
Why some things begin with just love
We can never have it all
No no no ohh
But oh, can't you see
That no matter what happens
Life goes on and on
And so baby just smile
Cause I'm always around you
And I'll make you see
How beautiful life is
For you and me
Take a little time baby
See the butterfly's colors
Listen to the birds
That were sent to sing
For me and you
Can you feel me?
This is such a wonderful place to me
Even if there is pain now
Everything will be alright
For as long as the world still turns
There will be night and day
Can you hear me?
There's a rainbow always
After the rain
Hittin' high, hittin' low
Win or lose, you should go
Yeah yeah
Getting warm, getting cold
Weather can be so good or bad
But baby, this is life so don't get mad
No no no
