Anymore


There are too many tears and too little cheek
Your words and your hurt are making me weak
And you said your love was endless
You said that it would last
But the person I was before
Is staying in the past

And this is who I am, and I’m still your daughter
This is me, I’m not changing for anybody
You’re my family; you’re my father
How can you tell me you don’t love me
Anymore

This is the life I have to live
It’s not something that I chose
Because why would you choose to give
Yourself a harder life than those
Who can love who they want with no consequences
There’s nothing enlightened about this
There’s nothing better about this

But this is who I am, and I’m still your daughter
This is me, I’m not changing for anybody
You’re my family; you’re my father
How can you tell me you don’t love me
Anymore

Because of who I have to be
Because of who I love
There are far worse things for me
To have become
So I’m asking you to love me
I’m asking you to not to care
That the worst part about me
Is all the love I have to share

This is who I am, and I’m still your daughter
This is me, I’m not changing for anybody
You’re my family; you’re my father
How can you tell me you don’t love me
Anymore..

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
