Stars Fade

When even the stars fade, I'll be aroundIf the curtain rips, let me be your safe and soundIf you ever miss me, know that in my silence I'm still begging you to call outI think of you in sweet, meloncholy shades of blueBut no, now that I know myself, I can't quite sacrafice that to&nbs..

Catch Me Off Guard

Say you wanna hear me sing,You wanna hear my voiceTo remind you how it was back thenHow we'd sing together every single dayIn that dirty old schoolWhere faith and love rang But catch me off gaurdCause when no one's aroundThat's when I'm a starListen when I'm turned away from youCause I wan..

Tragically Twisted

It started so strong, So true,So perfect, So beautiful,So real.Then one tiny immemorable twist,Forget and move along,No big deal. But somewhere those tiny little twistsJust got a little too tight,A little too tangledAnd somehow our love became a struggle,A terribly tragic fight. Where did ..

Purple Clouds

I loved when you kissed my noseUnderneath those purple cloudsThat was all I dreamt aboutAnd I thought you were all I'd ever needBut now you're goneAnd I was wrongBecause now I'm aloneAnd that's okayFor the first timeSince four years...Ago...Today.

That was my love for you.

Love.The kind of love that totally consumes your life.The kind of love that makes you lose your gripUntil you're slipping, and sliding, and being thrown around Without ever touching any of the things you're being flung atBecause you keep changing directions so suddenly that you can't keep up.The kin..

New Reflection

Have you ever made the same mistake over and over, hoping, praying that one of those times, it wouldn't be a mistake? I have.

Fairytale Love

I don't simply believe that fairytales can come true,I know for a fact that they do.Being in love, that's all it takes. See, love is nearly impossible to break,And so it embraces imperfection,It flourishes when in pain,It presses on when smothered,It's loyal when discou..

Thunder and Lightning

Sometimes I watch the starsSo sure of where they areAnd that's when I knowThat we shouldn't be apartBut tonight the sky is filled with cloudsSo let the rain fall with me to the ground Let me screamLike if God had given a voice to lightningAnd let me breakThe way the thunder doesWhen it gets to ..

Irrational Spotlight

Why do they choose her?Is there something I cannot see?She's not so very different, so why do they fall at her feet?Why is it that she gains so much more than all the others?She's fine enough, I suppose, but why her? I too, once offered her such praise.I can't say myself what pulled m..

Imperfection

Don't come rescue me.I don't want you to play Prince Charming.I don't want a fantastic fairytale.I want something real.I want hard times,I want you to make me cry.I don't want you to kiss away the pain,I want to scream alone in the pouring rain.I want it to be hard to forgive and..

"A Heart for Every Heart"

As weak and helpless as I can get,I've always been pretty independent.I can handle pain, I can handle loss,No matter what amount of devestation the cost.I can make it through, I can move on,Though the sentiment will never be completely gone.But you, dear, have made a deep scar.For better or worse, m..

Second Thoughts

It's not that I miss you terribly.It's just that you're my only regret.Not for what happened between us,But the things I never told you, I'll never forget.I was always so afraid of saying too much,So instead I hid my thoughts. I told myself you could tell without hearing them,But now ..

Nothing Left to Lose

Sometimes I wish I had the courage to just runThrough the grass and in the breezeThe open world everlit by the moon and the sunI'd have the power of the thunder and lightning on stormy daysSo even without that dependable God-given light,He'd still make sure that I'd be okay.I know if I just had..

Chapter 5 (RR)

Just Hunger or Sweet Guilt?

A poem I wrote for English :)

On a Star

Reality is overrated.I live on a star,Where we dance all the timeBarefoot and clothed in long feathers of lightThere is no dull, only extraordinaryLife on this star is an endless symphonyEverchanging from lullaby to enterprise to sorrowIn joy we blissfully burn, but when meloncholy we..

False Fairytales

I pray that one day my own personal dreams will come trueBeing once again in my hometown, and being once again with youWith every kiss you stealI wish with all my soul that your plastic feelings for me were realEvery time I see you,You act just the way we used toBut I know none of your actions are s..

What You Do to Me

Do you know what you do to me, sweetheart?Everything my mind still goes throughWith just the slightest reminder of youI've come a long wayFrom the agonizing pain I used to feel every dayBut every once in a while I still ache to knowDo you ever wish you could feel me close?

Lonely Corner

There's a place somewhere out thereIt's in the middle of nowhereThere's a calm pond surrounded by treesThat are all patched with mossIt's where the stars drown in the blackest skyThat's never known the city lightsIt's the home of several crickets and frogsWho love to make music atop t..

Plucked Petals

She'd dropped the petals one by one, wishing in a hopeful plead.He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me...? As the last fell, she'd smiled at the beauty scattered at her feet.He loves me! He'd kissed her in the dim light, and those three words she chose to believe.He loves me....

Color on the Walls <3

I want to color on the wallsAnd put it on display for allI want to dance in a field in the rainEvery now and then I want to feel some painI want to cry tears of joy in a moment that takes my breath awayI want to find a place I love and be there to stayI want to be your everythingAnd the re..

It's My Turn To Decide.

I don't feel a surge of longing when I hear your nameThinking of you no longer brings a whole new world of painI don't have to hold myself back when I see you aroundI never feel so drained that I want to fall to the groundImaginary conversations with you don't monopolize my daydreamsMaybe now that I..

No more.

She got home and went straight to her bathroom.No more.She started to write a note.No more.She ripped it up and threw it away.No more.She snapped the pen in half and tossed it in, too.No more.She filled a glass with water.No more.She popped open a bottle of pills.No more.She swallowed them one by on..

Fourth of July <3

Don't you hate it when you get a glimpse of something greatAnd then all too soon it slips away?I got a little preview of you and meBut we never got a chance to beThat's one Fourth of July I'll never forgetThe way it felt with my head on your chestAnd your fingers laced through mineThey fit so perfec..

Star to Me

For my sister <3

Someday

Someday the world is gonna see meAnd maybe right nowI don't know howBut someday you'll see what I can doIf just for a moment I'll be on top of the worldAnd someday I'm gonna prove them all wrongYou underestimate meWell, you just wait and seeSo look up and watch as I soarWatch me be more than you eve..

Chapter 4 (RR)

It had been foolish of Rapunzel to let herself hope. The man was determined to "help" her, and in the end he climbed back down on her hair, then sawed at a nearby tree with his sword until it fell and leaned on her tower, and she climbed that way. Rapunzel acted pleased as they r..

Chapter 3 (RR)

For several minutes Rapunzel stood there, her body frozen and her mind desperately and unsuccessfully trying to process what she'd just heard. Then the man called again, still below her window, and his call brought her back to her senses. Rapunzel shook her head. How on Earth...??? ..

Chapter 2 (RR)

Rapuzel carefully secured her satchel between the many layers of skirts on her dress. Then she went to the window and took a deep breath. She'd been planning this for years, but she wasn't sure she could bring herself to do it now. It was the only way down: she'd have to tie..

Stars

I miss the stars.I used to go outside late at night, ignore the sod under my feet and the house and fence surrounding me, let the cool air soak into my skin, and just look up at the deep sky and watch the stars hang. For some reason it always made me believe that everything would be okay. Sometimes ..

What do you see?

When you look at meWhat do you see?Do you see the same girl you loved 2 years ago?Do you see a fallback that you turn to when you feel low?Do you see someone who never gave up on you?Do you see an naive girl who refuses to see the truth?Do you see your first love?Do you see a girl you can'..

Chapter 1 (RR)

"Rapunzel!!! Let down your hair!!!!" Rapunzel hurried to the window and let all 114 feet of her loose, dark blonde curls tumble down to the ground below. She felt tension, then a quick tug and began pulling her hair back into the room. When she was almost to the end, the tension ..

We think of love as a good thing, but of course it has its dark side...

Forever I'll Wait

My heart and my mind can never seem to agreeMy heart will always believe you're with meBecause that is where you should beBut my mind imagines you with herAnd I can't even eplain the hurt You've hurt me again and again, whether you ever meant to or notAnd I always fell back to you, no matter ho..
