You’re a tidal wave of raw emotionAnd you’re crashing into meI am logic and prudenceBut oh baby, you’re all I seeI’m swept up in your passionMelted by your kissLost between your armsDrowning in this blissYou whisper that you love meAnd I mumble it’s too soonBut each time you repeat itOh, my heart, it starts to swoonYou insist you want foreverI ...

I just want to play hereIn the sandbox of your mindDig around with a plastic spadeAnd delight in what I findLeap across the monkey barsTill I feel like I can flyTravel on your train of thoughtAsking “Why? Why? Why?”You surprise me with your riddlesTease me with your jokesTell me a conspiracy theoryA mystery and a hoaxMake me laugh and giggleMake ...

You told me that you cared for me But I already knew it to be true Though you never saw just how much My own heart begged for you Your eyes betrayed your secret When they’d alight upon my face And fire at those who came too close Or look away with too much haste Yes, I knew you loved ...

I’m back on the rollercoaster Strapped into the ride Rising to its dizzying heights I soar, I fly, I glideDelighted by each moment Thrilled to climb so high Soaring to the heavens Oh baby, watch me fly But wait, what’s this?I’m dropping I’m falling like a stone I’m terrified by these depths They chill me to the bone But I ...

A loving voice Cooing in my ear And warm arms Holding me near Calm in a crisis Strong in a fight Protecting me My sturdy knight A living promise I’ll be okay An easy smile That makes my day Kissing my brow Stroking my cheek Getting me through Another week With teasing jokes To make me laugh And gentle words To melt my heart Thanks for being My everything And each day Making my heart sing.

Cocktail dresses and red lipstick swim around the hallMen with flashy grins and fat cigars – handsome, yes, and tallDressed to the nines, it’s easy to blend inBut nothing here excites me, not the people nor the ginAnd then suddenly, I see you – and my heart, it gives a leapYou’re dressed in a plain suit, obviously cheapShabby shirt, shabby ...

Shhh, don’t say another word You see, I just want to dance  I want to be putty in your arms  So I pray, give me that chance I want to be swayed across the floor Between your expert arms  Twisted, turned and swung around   By your calculating, sturdy palms  I want to be left breathless A puppet to your ...

I pretend I have no feelingsI act like I don’t careBut you’ve seen my type before And you know I’m prone to tear You’re aware that you will hurt meYou expect that I will bleedAnd you don’t want to see it But you can’t give me what I need And so you tread on glass chipsYou are wary with what you say You try to ...

I’m standing in the wilderness Wishing to be mad Longing for insanity Wanting it so bad And yet I cannot feel it I’m cold to its beat Stiff like an ice sculpture Amidst the burning heat I watch them dance around me Watch them hoot and chant and scream And wish that I could integrate Into their frenzied dream And ...

I’ve got friends all around meBut I don’t let them see me acheBecause I’m the one they turn toI’m the one who never breaksI never learned to say “I need you”I never learned to ask “Please help”I was taught to be the ‘strong’ oneAnd leave my feelings on the shelfNow, a dozen hands are willingReady to catch me if I ...

I’m putting on my suit of armourSteeling myself for your goodbyeFighting not to feel itBiting my lip so I don’t cryTelling myself I don’t need youHolding my head highThough a heavy heart pulls me downToday I’ll hush its cryPromising myselfI’ll somehow be okayTelling my heart it will liveTo love another dayTightening my bootsLifting up my shieldHolding back my heartachePraying the ...

You said that we were over But now you don’t seem so sure Because baby, when it’s love There is no cure Last time you said you’d had enough As you pushed me out the door I yelled, “I’ll be back soon enough I’ve seen this all before” I know that I am hard to trust You claim that we ...

You are so romanticBut oh, I didn’t mean to fallAnd yet now, I’m lying hereAnd I’m lost inside it allI’m lost within the love you giveLost inside your heartWandering through your atriaTo claim the softest partPerhaps I’ll settle down hereDeclare this cosy space my ownSomehow, I’m just so willingTo name your heart my home.

Right now, I’ll message loved ones And make sure that they’re okay Then I’ll read Milk & Honey A little later in the day In the night, I’ll start a painting Of a girl with turquoise eyes And maybe write a poem About love or lust or lies Tomorrow, I’ll watch a movie I’m thinking maybe Vertigo? Or just roll ...

I used to believe that I was destined To do important things To change this world for the better I used to think that I had wings! Then somewhere down the line I was told about The Script Turned out my lines were written And my job was just to fit Apparently, there’s a timeline And milestones we must meet ...

You’re so brutal with that baby face And sweet lips that can stop time Those eyes that glow with caring And make you look so kind Those lingering sidelong glances As though you really care As if you really truly feel My body’s worth that stare Those gently tapping fingers That play upon my waist Hands that roam my body ...

Thank you for the sip of water For the precious draught of air For the little dregs of kindness Which, in my life, are rare I thought I was designed To survive and not to live But I stole some sanguine moments You were good enough to give Of course I’m nothing to you And that’s just how it should ...

I thought you were the ocean And that you were here to stay But you were a tsunami That swept me up along your way I thought you were the winds of change And no mere summer’s breeze Alas, I should have enjoyed your kiss Without falling to my knees I thought you were every season But you were simply ...

They all fall in love But never with me For I know just the girl They need me to be A plaything, sweet, silly and free Or mature, reserved, measured is she So go ahead, fall in love But know you don’t know me For you don’t see the creature The creature called Me.

I know in spite of everything That she has stuck with you There’s been hurt and fights and conflict But you both have seen it through And though you seem to think That I may be The One How can I assure you That we’d last in the long run? So even though I care for you I’m not afraid ...
