Take Me Away From Here

I found my inspiration here on the keys of my heart
Pounding away at them, tearing them apart

Finding new ways to rearrange the words

That have stung me with their ignorance, and left me to the birds

To be raw and vulnerable as the vultures circled me

Staring down my weaknesses, admiring my wounded body

Picking at the pieces that I could never fix

The broken feelings and the recovery that never seemed to mix

I fell face down in the mud, to have fate step on my head

Grind it down into the dirt, and make me inhale the dead

The others that have died of a broken heart and were given back to the earth

Buried in their love, surrounded by their demise, rotting for what it's worth

But was it worth it? To love so much that it broke you?

To care so much that the sight of him leaving nearly killed you?

I'm not sure what's real anymore, I though I was on solid ground

To find that I had been spiraling down

Into your arms, into something that I never wanted

Falling into you, and shattering against the wall you mounted

Put up to keep me away, I'm like a disease to you now

Infectious, and damaging, and you protected yourself somehow

From me, when I finally realized how much I cared

My own mistakes have defined me yet again, and I'm scared

About what the future may hold for me, when fate is not on my side

I have no control of my destiny, I'm just along for the ride..

All my life.

I could write a million words I could bring the ink To this paper I could type until my fingers bleed But nothing will say what you mean to me And I have written about other girls Before But none have stirred my soul like you do None have made me want to dance And sing And play like a child And recklessly desperately try so hard to be near you I can hear you in my dreams Telling me you want me Whispering Humming In my ear A thousand times I've dreamt of what it would be like To be yours I've let hours waste away Thinking about your hands in my hair Twisting curls around your fingers Getting lost in the oceans in my eyes The music in your voice is a reprise I could listen to all my life.

"Big Skinny"

You stole my heart with a smile, and you broke it with a trigger pull You seemed so put together, but you really had your hands full Never feeling good enough, never living up to expectations You thought that you were failing, when all you needed was some patience And I wish that I had had that talk with you, where we share our secrets Instead of them weighing down on you, you could trust me to keep it You ask me where my scars are from, and I ask you why you want to leave Why you’re tired of being here with us, why your heart is on your sleeve You gave so much to us and maybe you took too much from yourself You, ever longing to fulfill a purpose greater than yourself I wish that there had been a better solution for you other than waiting Waiting for something better to happen, instead of looking to John 3:16 If it was eternal life you desired, then eternal life you shall get For you are the closest to any angel that I have ever met And I miss yo...

Crows feet.

I hope I give you crows feet From smiling Too often I hope that when our eyes meet Your knees go weak And your body grows heavy Because you mesmerize me The way you talk The way you walk The way you brush my body When you stand beside me To let me know you want to touch me The way you smile at me subtly In a room full of people I am the one That you look at like that And every time you turn your back I will follow I will swallow All my fear Just to be near You and your heart beating Because it feels like I’m cheating Fate If I don’t give in to the way You move me And I don’t even know if destiny Is real but I know this feeling is And it’s just too strong to dismiss
