He is of the Earth

He is of the earth
Just a seed at his birth
A pebble I watched grow
Into what I did not know
He might be a violet flower
Never wilting in a shower
He might be a rose
A beauty nature only shows
He might be a morning glory
For generations to tell the story
Whatever he is he is my own
and a Savior the world has never known

Wish I Could Say

I lie in our bed and wait for the dawn
I haven't be the same since you've gone
My hand reaches out to touch your face
But your not there; it's just empty space
I cry and I wonder with a weary heart
Do you think of me when we're apart?
I want to say I hate you and I do
But it's leveled by my love for you

Wish I could say I'm battered and bruised
That I was rejected, neglected and used
But I can't; it's not true
I'll still be in love with you
Wish I could say I'm better without you here
That I lived in misery, desolation, and fear
But I can't; what can I do?
I just want to get over you

I walk alone beneath the pouring rain
You've gone and left me with this pain
I feel exposed when you're not around
But when you're here my loves profound
My clothes are wet; they're soaking though
I want to know if I'll survive without you
I want to say I'm glad that you left me
But I still love you; why can't you see?

Wish I could say you've cheated and lied
That you've been deceitful; that you denied
But I can't; I always knew
I was born to love just you
Wish I could say since you left I haven't cried
But the truth is that without you I die inside
Oh yes; it's so true
I'll always be in love with you

You Think You Know Me

The tension hangs between us, tightening like a vise
You smile at me smugly, never trying to be nice
You look like the world will caters to your will
'Cause breaking peoples' spirits can give cheap thrills
Your exterior shows mask a cruel child within
And your vindictive games are wearing thin
You just grin, like my actions are small
Little do you know, you don't know me at all
You look at me and see a girl with no clue
Well this girl has got a clue just for you
Don't look at me like I'm deficient of views
'Cause believe it or not I do watch the news
You think because I'm young I'm like all the rest
Like I'm just a chick with a butt and a chest
Well I'm sick of all your stereotypical shit
And I'm not saying sorry for saying it
'Cause when you think you know me you've got it wrong
I'm more than a woman, I'm influential and strong
I'm everyone who lives life in their way
While you're just a man at a loss of what to say

[Untitled]

I blow out a candle
I lit it for you
I watch the smoke rising
And wind my fingers through
Its beauty strikes me
It breaks my heart in two
I remember your face
I think of the candle as you
And the flame is your life
Which out yourself you blew
As I watch that smoke ascend
I feel like I am with you
The smoke of the candle
Will meet with you too...

Breaking the Boy

She doesn't know what she does to him
This devil with an angelic face
She teases him and tempts him
With hints of her velvet and lace
Since the very first day he saw her
His heart unfurled before her feet
Little, now, did this boy know
Her world was littered with deceit
She'd been broken many times before
By all the men in her life
She was never the kind of girl
He could take to be his wife
Despite all this he continued on
And willingly she fell for him
Always moving with the tide
Giving her heart and soul at whim
She didn't mean to hurt him
He knew it would come to this
As much as he tried to keep her
She left him with a kiss
With her gone he moved on
Trying not to place the blame
Of his passionate love gone wrong
On her heart he couldn't tame
Soon she didn't remember him
Her long forgotten toy
He was just a victim of her game
Of breaking the boy.
