Withered Souls

Travel Clothes

Pick up and leave

Don’t bother leaving a note

Suitcase packed

I’m ready to run

Ready to forget

this pain that has me undone

You may see

and think therefore you know

But when a heart is ready for love

Sometimes it doesn’t get it

After all you envision

and watch as others move along

while you rest at a standstill

Love becomes untouchable

and fantasy somehow just feels right

Puppy Love

Restless Drug

Hidden Feelings

Come Undone

Hopeless Cries

Stifled Dream

Open Up

Before She Leaves

-<3-

She stares at you

starring at her

seen so clearly

it was just a joke

and she was your punchline

It wasn’t her

It was you

it was you

who never knew…

because you could have had a good girl

in fact you did

a girl to take home to mom

a girl you could be proud to call your girlfriend

a girl who would have given you everything

But instead you settled on something less

something inexcusable

It doesn’t matter if you do everything right

it doesn’t matter if you show them the world

it’s only a matter of what they want

it’s only a matter of who’s the next girl

Big hearts often forgive

but smart minds never forget

Hate is too strong a word

so let’s settle on dislike

but love is something that is completely above you

and it’ll never return

trust was broken by your weakness

and in the end

it’s just that simple

she can no longer be with you

You had a good girl

and you settled for less

When you treat her like an option

She’ll make you feel like you don’t exist

I take  no credit for any of the images above…i just forgot to grab the links when searching for them… the power of google! 😉

I want love that’s crazy

sane

beautiful

ugly

exciting

painful

simple

difficult

I want a gut wrenching masterpiece

dark colors that compliment the light

lines made by paintbrushes of different strengths

paint outside those lines

a canvas made to withstand the emotional rain

a mural of love

in all it’s forms

It isn’t worth it otherwise

-<3-

Write me a love letter

tell me the ways to ease your heart

Because I will love you

with everything I’ve got

Write me a love letter

to ease your own soul

and we’ll make plans for…forever

and fill that empty black heart-aching hole

She will be just a memory

a memory unworthy of your thoughts and time

and I will make you believe that love is still a work of art

So let me know if you hear my heart beating for you

and I’ll write you a love letter

a love letter from me to you

We could be each other’s savior

I can save you

the way you’ve saved me

A mending will begin

a new way of seeing life

where happiness and love still exist

Because two halves of a heart

equal a whole

and genuine smiles

lead you home

shelter you and keep you safe

a lover’s endless warm embrace

So I’ll write you a love letter

as you’ve written me many times before without knowing

and in the end

your heart will be healed and expectation of new love will surface

all her good qualities jaded

she is no longer in your thoughts

her image has faded

and replacement is the choice you’ve made

you’ve replaced her with me

only difference is she was just holding my place

until you found me

Because heartbreak has made you all the wiser

So write me a love letter

let’s make a pact

that we’ll be each other’s happy ending

and never have to look back

I often feel like we are all constantly searching for happiness

that happiness that is somehow so far away

so untouchable

and completely on another level

But what is happiness?

This fictitious happiness that is defined by what…

Success

Money

Love

when in reality the order you put those in is what matters most

Happiness can be found simply in

the smile you receive from a loved one

the lyrics of a song

the birth of new life

the gentle breeze you feel sitting on a beach

the sound of wine being poured into a glass

the site of bright yellow petals of a sunflower sitting in a neighbors garden

It’s the little things in life that count

the little things that make the big things even worth having

The things you go through in everyday life

that journey you create for yourself

That is where happiness lies

We always look ahead

if only i had this

or that

if only i had him

if only i had her

if only i were more like this person

or that person

if only i dressed differently or looked differently

if only i had a better  job and more money

I’d be happier

we’re constantly searching for a different form of happiness

a better form

when in reality the journey we’re on

is that happiness

living in the now

living for the now

is what defines happiness

if we continue to look ahead at a rapid pace

wondering when this ultimate happiness will surface

we’ll miss it all

and it will just pass us by

happiness may be the idea of the long term destination

but that happiness is crafted throughout the journey you’re on

because the journey is the destination

*and no matter what happens in life, no matter how crappy your day is or week is, or life is, find something beautiful in everyday, because you deserve it, your heart deserves it, happiness lies in the little things*

You must think the list is endless

That it’s unrealistic

And that I’m looking through the pros and cons

checking and x-ing

But all I want

is what every girl needs

someone who loves unconditionally

Because the giving and taking should blend into one

as should we

and it should create a balance

otherwise the hearts involved fall apart

vessel from vessel

muscle from muscle

as the blood slowly weakens it’s flow through it’s veins

Oh I’m sorry

was that hearts or heart?

Singular I suppose

Because obviously I was in this all alone

Second Chances are a lie

They just reinforce a reason for goodbye

And if you let your heart go

Understand it may come back bruised and broken

Second chances are for the apologetic

Because “Sorry” is a word that should be meant when said

Except when it’s buried with excuses

and felt… more like a hurtful threat

Learn when it’s time to let go

it’s the only way to let yourself move on

I refuse to bet on you

I gave you a chance

But you never gave me one

not even a second glance

So do your thing and I’ll do mine

And maybe one day you’ll wake up and realize

-<3-

Call me crazy

Call me blind

Even delusional is completely fine

But I do have a reason

An excuse,  if you will

I’m a girl

and when you’re a girl all sanity goes to hell

A continuum of wondering

What are you thinking?

What does this mean?

Why do you leave it up to me to fill the blanks in between

I guess you enjoy a good guessing game

And I can see why… it’s a mental high

But guessing on a heart

can often lead to a lie

And once a lie

Always a liar

and truth is gone

and no longer a suitable option for you
