Our History's Start
The moment I walked in
The moment our eyes locked
The moment I begged my heart not to do this
But it wouldn't stop
The moment you smiled at me
And became the only person in the room
I could see
The moment I looked at you
And saw our faces were only a breath apart
Is the moment that will be remembered
As our history's start

A Life I Never Knew
There is a life I never knew
Where there are answers
To questions I've always asked
Where I no longer have to worry
About future, present, and past
In a life I never knew
I imagined I'd be carefree
But for all I know
That's daydream
Not a reality
So in another world
There is a life I never knew
But I realize now...
That I don't want to.

A Want & A Need
I want to get to know you
But do I need to?
I want us to be close
But is that wise?
Or am I just plotting my own demise?
When it was time to leave
I wanted us to stay
But what my heart needs is distance
Far, far away
Never before
Have I been drawn in so fast
But even though I want you to pull me in
Maybe what I need is to remember my past

Confused
Don't ask me who I am
Because I don't know anymore
Don't ask me what I believe
Because I'm no longer sure
Don't ask me who I want to be
Because that answer eludes even me
The answers I once knew so well
Have slowly but surely departed
Leaving me stranded
In a mess of mine own thoughts
Wishing I was back where I started
The only thing I know now to be true
Is that I am positively confused

A Story Yet To Be Told
When I first entered the room
You were a distant memory in my mind
Slowly being forgotten
Slowly fading away
But when it came time to leave
I was searching for an excuse to stay
When I first laid eyes on you again
I was pleasantly surprised
Yet by the time the fun had ended
My heart had made up its mind
And hadn't even let it decide
But that one night has come and gone
And our time together is done
So I guess this where the story ends

A Beautiful Bittersweet Memory
The days I spent shedding tears over you
Those nights the pain you inflicted kept me awake
Those beautiful moments we shared
Almost made me forget what was at stake
These memories come rushing back
Bringing A symphony of emotions along too
Yet even though
They send chills down my spine
They are the very reason
I could never be yours again
And you could never be mine
And as much as I've tried to hate you
A beautiful bittersweet memory
Is what you'll always remain

Playing With Fire
A flame that seemed to burn so bright
Has suddenly gone out
And left ashes in its place
But not before searing my heart
And leaving permanent burns
All over my face
'Don't play with fire'
Is what I was taught
But advice that I foolishly didn't heed
And when I reached out my hand
Hoping you would be different
I soon realized I couldn't take the heat
But I've bandaged my burns since then
And have let them heal
And now that I'm fully recovered

Wasted Tears
At the height of my hysteria
While I was yet again choking on my tears
I realized just how many tears
I've shed for all of you
Over the years
Wasted is how I view them
Because wasted is what they are
And each tear plummeted down my face
It left behind a never fading scar
My precious tears none of you deserved
And the satisfaction of knowing I've shed then
Is what you've gained
But none of you care in the least
That shedding those tears
cruelly caused me so much pain

Pushed One Time To Many
Lying here once again on the ground
After taking yet another long, hard fall
I reach out my hand for any of you to help me
But nobody's there
I try
I struggle
I'm on my hands and knees
I try to push myself back onto my feet
But it's useless
Because you people keep stepping over
Or worse
You keep stepping on me
Why?
Because, none of you care

Something I Shall Never Do
Something I shall never do is regret how I felt about you
When the heartbreak first set in
It hurt for so long and so bad
But that was then and I've moved on
I dont hold any grudges
As a matter of fact I'm actually kind of glad
If it wasn't for you I wouldn't know the things I now do
If it wasn for you I would still be a naive little girl without a clue
Now that I've moved on
And worked pass the heartache and pain
Me and you can go back to being good friends again
Something I shall never do is regret having loved you
Because you unknowingly taught me a life lesson
One that I'm sure I'll always use
