Perfect Love Stories

There was a time I was hurting. I’d never known love I was sure. But when I wasn’t looking I opened my eyes and there you were. I never believed in my life that one person could feel so much love. I was important to someone. That was the day I would cherish forever. Finally I had found the one I’d always love and build my life around. But I was unaware that our time would finally end. That I would lose the man I loved and in that time, lose my best friend. I cried a thousand tears, I prayed you wouldn’t go. The feelings you had for me weren’t as deep as the feelings I was having for you. How was I to know as I softly spoke your name, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath and when I looked again I saw you were gone..  As quickly as you had entered my life you disappeared leaving behind just memories of a love that had once been and now was gone forever.

She sits in her corner
Singing herself to sleep
Wrapped in all of the promises
That no one seems to keep
She no longer cries to herself
No tears left to wash away
Just diaries of empty pages
Feelings gone astray
But she will sing…

Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns
Ooh, oh

Walking through life unnoticed
Knowing that no one cares
Too consumed in their masquerade
No one sees her there
And still she sings…

Til everything burns
While everyone screams
Burning their lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns

Til everything burns
Everything burns
Everything burns
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away
All fade away
Everyone screams
Everyone screams
Watching it all fade away
Oooh, oh
While everyone screams
Burning down lies
Burning my dreams
All of this hate
And all of this pain
I’ll burn it all down
As my anger reigns
Til everything burns
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away
Oooh, ooh
Everything burns
Watching it all fade away

You left There was a time I was hurting I’d never know love I was sure But when I wasn’t looking I opened my eyes and there you were I never had believed that the day would come when I would feel such love I was important to someone That was the day I cherished because I had finally found the one I’d always love and build my life around. But I was unaware that our time would finally end that I would lose the man I love and in that, lose my best friend. I cried a thousand tears I prayed you wouldn’t go but your feelings for me weren’t as deep but how was I to know I softly spoke your name closed my eyes and took a breath but when I looked again I saw that you had left..

When Nights are long & Friends are few, I sit by my Window & think of u. a silent whisper a silent tear. with all my Heart i wish you were here

I wish a was your tear-drop,
Conceived in your heart,
Born in your eyes,
Lived on your cheeks,
And died on your lips.

This is the window to my heart
I just want us to be free
There ain’t no freedom where we are
Ain’t no wishes in these stars
Ain’t no reasons to believe
But don’t worry baby
Don’t you worry
Maybe this is what we need
A little bruise and a little bleeding
Some space that we can’t breathe in
Some silence in between
So cry for me baby
And I’ll cry for you
And we’ll both break down
and we’ll both break through
Find our way you will face the truth
We both will be stronger
And we’ll lie down in a loneliness
Wake up with our sad regrets
Even know we don’t know it yet
We both will be stronger
We both will be stronger
I can’t believe you’re really gone now
But I know it’s all the best
And I know that we were right
But I still reach for you each night
In midnight it hurts like hell
So baby This is the window to my heart
I just want us to be for real
Baby I’m sorry for the way things are
Get back is always hard
And we both will be stronger

If you need a sweater I’d lend you mine
So I’d have an excuse to see you one last time

If you were crying and thought no one cared
I’d be there if you wanted me there

If you needed something to hug in the middle of the night
For you, and only you I’d make that sacrifice

If you fell in a hole and couldn’t get out
I’d switch places with you without any doubts
If you needed to scream at someone just because
I’d listen to you and then hold you with love

If you couldn’t see your future
I’d show you it’s bright- that things get better
If you look towards the light

If you want someone to love you for forever- eternity
Well if you do… You know where to find me

This lie’s become a part of me
For months, I’ve played this game
Acting like it doesn’t hurt
Each time I hear his name

Ignoring what’s inside of me
Pretending I’ve moved on
As if the feelings I once had
For him are somehow gone

Spending each and every day
With happiness and laughs
Forgetting all our memories
Avoiding photographs

But last night when I saw him
For the first time since he left
My heart stopped for a moment…
I couldn’t catch my breath

When suddenly it hit me
As the tears started to flow
That even after all this time…
I just can’t let him go

With out a thought to spare.
My life seems incomplete,
since you left me in despair.
I’m tangled up in you,
With the thoughts of our past,
I try not to reminisce
but my mind moves to fast.
In my dreams I am lost in your eyes.
I’m swallowed by your smile.
I’m tortured by your lies.
I’m tangled up in you.
Whatever you have done?
What spell have you cast?
What game have you won?
I’m tangled up in you.
Reminded of your laughter
Not to have forgotten your silence
My heart broken with your slander.
I’m tangled up in you.
Warmed by your kisses
Missing your skilled touch
Casting pennies while making silent wishes.
I’m tangled up in you.
Longing for your return.
Your fingers laces in between mine.
When will I ever learn?
I’m tangled up in you.
But you have since forgotten.
My posts never answered.
Your heart is not wanting
I’m tangled up in you.
Dreaming of our future
Even though you’re just my memory.
My heart still tortured…

Hold me close and don’t let go;
I’m so scared to be alone.
I’ve been by myself for too long,
And always had to be strong.
Now I only want to rest;
And lay my head on your chest.
Hold me close and don’t let go;
These wars I fight no one knows.
Now whisper how you love me,
Say it tender and softly.
I am weary and soon will sleep,
But with you no longer will I weep.
So hold me close and don’t let go,
For I never want to be alone.
