A Gift

Yesterday is history,
Today is a gift,
Tomorrow is a mystery,
The day after tomorrow is the future.

Where? Who? Why?

Where is my love?
Who love's me?
Where am I going in life?
Who am I?
Why can't I answer these questions?

But Why?

Why can't we forget the past?
Move on with our future as being friends,
Why must you kick me out of your life?

Why Not Me?

Crushed dreams
Unkept promises
False care
Forgotten love
I am your last child, your baby.
Why give these to my siblings, but not me?

You Just Can't

You can't make someone love you.
You can only stalk them and hope for the best.
No matter how much you love them, you just can't make them love you.

Light

The sun may set,
But there shall always be light,
When the darkness comes.
The night may come,
But the stars shall always shed light,
When the darkness comes.

Why Can't I?

Why does this happen?
Why must I hide my feeling from you?
Why am I like this when I talk to you?
Why can't I speak right when I talk to you?
Why can't I do this?

Regret

I trust you with my secrets,
I trust you with my life,
I trust you with my heart,
Do not take it for granted,
Because if you hurt me I will regret ever trusting you.

Reason To Cut

The blade is sharp,
The blade is shinny,
I cut because I'm hurt,
I'm hurt because...
I lost the guy I love,
I lost him to my stubbornness,
That I got from my father...

Drift

My mind may drift,
But my heart will stay,

My heart may skip a beat,
But only for you,

I will always be in love,
But only with you,

I live this life,
Just for you.
