Parted

Author's Note: Needed something for the "Break the Love Cliche" contest that was more...I dunno. Not cliche? =)) I'm not even sure if this counts as love. o_O oh well~

Inspired by...nothing really. I don't know, this just...came out. My muse is weird.
///
I guess I always wished that
today would never come.
Right now, I know it's time
for this to come undone.
You're waiting for an answer,
and now I'm lost for words.
What am I supposed to say?
When I'd hate to see you hurt.

And I just wish there was a way
for me not to hurt you.
Because I know that the truth
is you're driving me crazy.
And I've fallen for you too.
And I guess I must be stupid
to say I don't want this to be.
And I just don't get it.
How are you doing this to me?

I always thought I knew
what kind of guy I'd fall for.
But here you came,
with your careless grin
And suddenly
it didn't matter anymore.

You don't have a perfect smile,
And you don't always know
what exactly to say.
But I guess despite that
you made me fall anyway.

I'm sorry that I use my head
whenever I fall in love.
Because I guess to me
you aren't good enough.
I'm sorry you fell
for me, the wrong girl.
But I hope you know
that a part of me
wants to be your world.

Last Shot

So I guess that this is the first and last time,
I'll ever see you again.
And I know that I'm forgetting to say
all that I think of you,
but maybe in time, I'll get lucky,
and I'll get another shot.
But right now, I'm afraid,
I'll just blow it again
and you'll never know
How hard it was to let you go.

Your hand in mine,
was the best moment of my life.
One day was all I had,
but I know I'd wanna turn back.
I wanna do it all again,
have you by my side,
and never have this end.

And tonight was my last shot,
to give it all I've got.
Just to tell you 3 words,
but I guess I'll just hold it in
Keep it to myself until it just hurts.
And you'll walk away,
with nothing to say.

I was given one chance,
but I guessed I fucked up.
Because when I looked at you,
I choked on all the things
That I knew I had to say.
And you'll leave me here,
wishing you'll come back.
And maybe you will.
But I'll have to wait for that.

Want

Author's Note: I'm not sure if I do the point of view of a guy very well. =)) But either way. You can also interpret this in another way, but...*shrug* Not related to real life. =))

I don't understand you.
You tell me I'm a friend.
But you come crying back to me.
After every single end.

He treated you like dirt,
just like every guy before.
You haven't found the right one,
why don't you go search some more?

They don't know anything about you,
You know they're not what you want.
So why the hell do you keep running.
I've been here from the start.

I make you laugh and listen to you.
Apparently it means nothing.
Because you just go ahead.
And ignore my everything.

You tell me everything you want
For the guy of your dreams.
I'm going to be honest.
I'm almost every one of those things.

I cheer you up when you need it most.
I'm there for you every single time.
The thing I just don't understand...
Is why it seems you're still not mine.

And I guess it's like you say.
I mean nothing to you.
Even when I try so hard.
And I do everything you want me to.

And you can't tell me what's wrong,
You just don't feel the same way.
You won't stop to think about it.
No matter what I try to say.

I know I'm everything you want.
So I just don't understand
Because you refuse to tell me.
Why I don't deserve to hold your hand.

Proud

Author's Note: This is one of my absolute favorites out of the things I wrote. :) It was written during that poetry project thing that I never continued, but when I looked at the folder thing again, some of them weren't so bad after all. :)

I can see the pain in your eyes.
As you smile and tell me lies.
It's okay, you say. There's always next time.
But I know that nothing's alright.

I just wanted to make you proud,
but I guess I failed again.
You sigh as you wonder
How I made it 'til the end.

I'm sorry I wasn't good enough.
And that I'll never make you proud.
I'm sorry that I messed up this time.
I'm going to try harder now.

But you tell me it's all worthless.
You tell me I'm a joke.
You tell me all these things.
And my tears cause me to choke.

I know I'm not perfect,
and in your eyes I'll never be.
I guess it's impossible
That you'll ever be proud of me.

Only One

This beach reminds me of you.
Each little thing you used to do.
My feet sink into the sand,
Hey, maybe this isn't all bad.

After all, who needs love?
I've got myself. Why isn't that enough?
It's a beautiful day,
why won't you just let me be?
You're gone, and you still do this to me.

I guess I missed out,
on the most obvious truth.
Because I was never able
to reach out to you.

You made me happy,
you always made me laugh.
But hey, I guess...
Losing you isn't all that bad.

The most amazing boy,
you were in front of my eyes.
I guess I always just denied it,
hid my feelings underneath
all these ridiculous lies.

I'm just lying here,
and listening to the waves.
Right now I find myself
opening my mouth
and calling your name.

Could it be that I regret it?
Never saying a single word.
Could it be that I can't forgive myself?
For causing you and me so much hurt.

You were the best among them all,
and I guess I never saw.
Because now you're over me,
And I'm the last to fall.

I don't know what to think,
but all I know is this.
Out of all the ones I've hurt,
You're the only one I miss.

Never Coming Back

I stuck up for you,
against my own best friend.
I told her she was wrong.
I stuck with you 'til the end.

I never believed them,
no matter what they said.
But now I'm left here,
and hating all this pain.

You knew from the start,
about what I would do.
And I guess that's just it.
It's all about you.

I thought you were the one,
I listened to every lie you told.
I hate that I believed each one,
How the hell can you be this cold?

There's laughter in your eyes,
and I can't find the words.
To express all this anger,
and all this unbearable hurt.

I can't believe I was this stupid,
that I put up with all this.
Why did I ever think you were worth,
Any eyelash wish?

But now the truth's out,
and I can see you're coming down.
It's my turn to laugh,
And you can't do anything now.

She wasn't worth your time,
and I'm sure you know that.
I can see it in your eyes
Because I'm never coming back.

Forget

I guess what sets you apart,
is that you can sit beside me.
say absolutely nothing,
and make me the happiest
that I could ever be.

We're sitting here,
on your front porch.
Too tired from today,
to get past your front door.
We don't say a word,
and just watch all the stars.
Without a single sound,
you're holding my heart.

I never want to leave
this place by your side.
But somehow I know,
I'll have to some time.
That night was amazing,
and you know it too.
So why was it, I had the nerve
to ever leave you?

Sometimes I wish,
that I could come back.
That I could see you again,
but it's not as simple as that.
I never wanted
to leave you behind.
But I guess I was forced to,
and so now you're not mine.

I'll never forget that way you had.
Of making silence comforting.
The way you had of telling me
all the words you did,
without ever opening your mouth.
I'll never forget the day,
you held me in your arms,
and the world felt perfect
with you giving me that warmth.

Words

I can't put to words
how I feel right now
the emotion builds up
until it just hurts.

Words can't explain
the way you look tonight.
Holding it back is hard,
but I guess you're worth the pain.

What can I say to you,
to make this moment last.
Because we both know,
there's no way to test the truth.

You brought meaning
to my dull life.
You never even knew,
that you could mean everything.

I want to give back
everything you've done.
But I know that words
have so much that they lack.
