Playing Games Gets You Hurt
I thought I was just attracted to you; you were the one who loved me.
Now that you’re gone, I feel more than I could see.
I must have cared about you more than a friend,
but you didn’t have to call me a bitch at the end.
I thought I was just attracted to you; you were the one who loved me.
Now that you’re gone, I feel more than I could see.
I must have cared about you more than a friend,
but you didn’t have to call me a bitch at the end.
My head says “it’s for the best”; my heart screams in pain.
I want to believe in future sunshine, but all I see is rain.
My parents will be happy and maybe my friends too;
if that was my goal, why does my soul feel split in two?
Tell me how much you love me; tell me how much you care.
Tell me that you’ll listen, and that you’ll always be there.
Tell me you’ll love me forever, even if the moon crashes into Earth.
Tell me you want to have kids and you’ll be with me for every birth.
Tell me I’m the one, with you I belong.
Tell me I’m the lyrics to your heartfelt song.
Tell me you won’t mind when I grow forgetful and old.
Tell me you’ll forever keep my secrets; not another soul told.
Tell me you’ll love me like never before.
Tell me with our love, peace we will restore.
And lastly tell me you love me, just the way I am.
Make sure I know this isn’t just some scam.
Now let me remind you before you agree with each and every line; my heart has been attached to yours for a great amount of time.
I want you to think; don’t answer forthwith.
Make sure your love is true; not just a myth.
It has to be absolute and it has to be true.
I know it is but just tell me again:
Tell me I will always be with you.
It takes a while to realize something’s missing
It was the other day, looking at old pictures and reminiscing
I realized something had disappeared, there was a hole
It took me by surprise; it felt like I lost my soul
I panicked and called friends and family, seeing if they were okay
They were all fine; I couldn’t find it, to my dismay
I checked the things in my room, I checked my stories
I searched and searched, even made inventories
At last I sat on my bed and exhaled with annoyance
I had misplaced something, I figured it was a clairvoyance
My cell phone rang, I answered and then I knew
I never realized that I had given my heart to you
We all suffer, We all date
We all lie, We all cheat
We all feel, We all eat
We all starve, We all cry
We all hear, We all die
We all ignore, We all care
We all speak, We all swear
We all promise, We all break
We all seek, We all wake
There is a boy,
and I can’t stop thinking about him,
he knows I can’t
he knows I love him
I have to wait
until I’m 18
until I graduate
until then, my love
be at peace
don’t cry
be brave
don’t worry
be strong
my spirit is with you always
as I know your spirit is with me
Why give away your heart,
When it always comes back broken?
Why remain silent,
When you know it’s been spoken?
Why call it blue,
When you know its red?
Why say ‘I’m alive’,
When you know you’re dead?
Why love others,
When they don’t love you?
Why trust in your friends,
When all they do is cheat, and lie too?
Why stay true to this rhyme,
When it happens all the time?
Why remain human,
When we could be more?
His eyes were blue; Color of the ocean
His skin was cream; Like lilac lotion
His hair was black; It matched the night
I loved him dearly; He beat my height
He loved to joke; And play fun games
I love his title; Missieur James
His heart was kind; But he was poor
He didn’t care; He slept on the floor
He used his money for those he loved
I felt ashamed; I was still gloved
I left my family when he asked to wed
I left my rich home to be with him instead
I helped him care for people in need
Helping the children, I no longer felt greed
We married under the trees near a Church
We had found God together; no longer needed to search
He died before I at age eighty-four
I died a year after, knowing I had helped the poor
We had done a good deed; James and I
We left the world in peace and went together into the sky
