Let Me Explain

Let me explain how I feel about you
Not by speaking or by writing, not even with words.

Let me explain how I feel about you,
With the look in my eyes, the way you make me blush, and the way you make my smile shine.

Let me explain how I feel about you,
with the racing beats of my heart, and the biting of my lip.

Let me explain how I feel about you,
With your lips as paper, and my kisses as pen.

Let me explain how I feel about you,
In actions rather than words because the heart feels what it sees more than it listens to what it hears.

Such a Waste

After all this time,
all the things you did,
finally, I call it quits.

I’m long gone,
completely done and through,
with all the hurt and feeling blue.

I gave you chances,
I tried to adjust,
but you have absolutely lost my trust.

Now it’s time for me to shine,
to spread my wings,
and soar the skies.

You really are a horrible excuse of a man,
what a disgrace,
you were such a waste.

Coming out clean

It’s 3:00 a.m., and I finally see
what you really mean to me.

I was blind for pushing my feelings away,
and all this time in denial, I lay.

But now I’m sure,
It’s crystal clear

Your love in my life,
would make me complete.

I’m through with running,
I’m done from hiding,

This is my confession,
I’m coming out clean.

Everything is worth a shot

You’re scared, aren’t you? We’re all a little scared.

You may be scared to start over or scared to try something new. Maybe you’re scared to get hurt all over again. You might be scared to move on, or even scared to let go. You could be scared to be honest with someone, or even worse, you may be scared to be honest with yourself.

Whatever it is, fear always lingers in us. Some show it, some don’t, but everyone feels scared even if it’s just in the back of their minds.

We say we’ve been through it all, we say we’ve felt it all and that we are prepared for what is coming, but then we get hurt, and it feels worse. The cut feels deeper, the bruise stays longer, the comfort feels like it’s never coming back.

Every time we fail, we question ourselves over and over again. We lose faith in ourselves, and in our ideas. Our thoughts and emotions become our worst enemy and we just throw our hands in the air and give up.

Time passes, and you build yourself up again. We tell ourselves this time we are stronger, this time it is different, this time we will make it work. A couple of days pass and things mess up again and you blame yourself all over again.

You question and question, but they never get answered. You might cry, you might not. You might sit alone, in the silence, as your thoughts eat away on your emotions or you might go to the most crowded place you know and try to push your judgmental thoughts away. We all deal with it differently, but we all get it the same way.

Fear is always going to be in our lives; second thinking is always going to be in the back of our minds; Regrets? Maybe, but no matter what at least you tried. You might have gotten hurt, or broken but everything is worth a try. You may have failed or given up, but at least you gave it a shot.

It’s always better to know you tried and it didn’t go the way you wanted, then to know you never tried and will never know what might have happened.

Remind Me

Remind me
Remind me of who I used to be.

Remind me of the smile that never left my face
And the laughter that filled my air.

Remind me of my goals
And of my dreams
Remind me of who I used to be.

Remind me of my faith
And remind me of my hopes.

Remind me how negative energy
Was never a part of my world.

Remind me of my determination
And of my hard work.

Remind me of the love I had
for my life, and for my world.

Remind me of my simple ways,
Remind me of my simple roads.

Remind me of who I used to be,
Before I became so cold.
