What would it take to get even a simple glance from you,
Have I somehow died and become a ghost,
I know that you always see right through me,
Or do you just pretend that I'm never there.
I've always been there for you, since day one,
Then again, that could be the very source of my problem,
By being there for you now and always,
Have I painted a target on the back of my head.
Why do you keep talking to me about other men,
When it's very painfully obvious how I feel about you,
I've seen you cry many times over men you wanted to be with,
But I would have treated you like my queen.
You wouldn't even consider giving me a chance,
You were afraid

The Lies You Tell Me
It's only been a week since our mutual introduction,
I've grown to adore you in such a short time,
Talking to you can always improve my worst mood,
You are far kinder to me than anyone else has been.
We've only known one another over the internet,
Yet talking to you every day has become a ritual,
We share common interests and common hobbies,
And you've spared me no compliment.
Worried that you will eventually find out about my secret,
I begin to ask you how exactly you would feel,
If I didn't measure up to a model or a movie star,
You assured me you only cared about personality.
I summoned all my courage and it took a lot of it,
I grabbed
Outside I go on the first day of this brand new Spring,
The air feels warmer upon my head than it was before,
I'm not alone in my desire to feel the sun and the air,
I feel reborn on this beautiful Spring day.
Outside I am on the first day of this brand new Summer,
The temperature’s become the very perfect warmth,
My new friends are also enjoying this season’s air,
I feel alive on this beautiful Summer day.
Outside I am on the first day of this brand new Autumn,
I've been getting rid of my hair to get ready for my bedtime,
Some are too stubborn to begin losing their hair at this time,
I feel tired on this beautiful Autumn day.
Any creature so ugly or monstrous as to frighten people,
Dictionaries will give you the definition of a monster,
Creatures with eight legs and eight eyes can be scary,
A lion with sharp teeth could be considered a monster.
Bugs that crawl under the ground with hundreds of legs,
Or birds that circle overhead waiting for another to die,
Flying insects that are so unpredictable as to cause fear,
Even the monster that hides under the beds of children.
Are we afraid because we can't see these monsters,
Not able to defend ourselves from them harming us,
Do we have an allergy that could make an injury worse,
Even the smallest bite could end an oth

Love Will Not Always Hurt
You think that nobody in the world could possibly love you,
That, my dear, is quite simply not true,
From the very first moment I laid eyes on you,
I could see that you had a lot to offer someone with a big heart.
Your worries seemed like a heavy storm cloud hanging over your head,
You were afraid to love because you were used and emotionally abused,
Even then, you could not change your own human nature,
You wanted to feel nothing, but your heart longed for a companion.
With your own problems, you were still able to see clearly,
There was something within me that I could not even see,
It was my human heart, which beats only for you,
Yet if

Disinterest, Disagreement, and Dishonesty
If I told you that I wasn't happy being with you,
Would you understand or would you not care,
How can a guy be both happy and sad at once,
It's always something I've wanted to know.
I trust in the experiences and the counsel of my friends,
But do they truly understand how I feel about you,
I love you more than anything else in the world,
You say the same but your words have no substance.
What I want from you is not your excuses or sarcasm,
I just want you to love me for who I am,
Even if I can't be your number one priority,
I'll be happy as long as I'm not last.
Are you really interested in being with me,
Or am I just something to hold you

Dancer in the Moonlight
A startling dream had awoken me from a deep sleep,
As I wiped the sweat from my brow, I looked around,
My clock told me that I was into the early morning hours,
Out the window, the moon hung overhead in the sky.
I threw the covers off me and swung around in bed,
My feet touched the ground and I breathed a tired sigh,
I stood up and walked over to the bedroom window,
In the distance I could make out a moving silhouette.
Interested, I left my room and ran down the stairs,
Past the kitchen and past the den I moved,
In the hallway, I ran past my shoes without thought,
Out the house door and through the backyard.
I threw open the gate and somew
My words have always come out broken,
Trying to tell you how much you meant to me,
I’ve tried my very best to let you know,
But nothing I could say would suffice.
After having this long to reflect on what happened,
The only conclusion I can reach is that you used me,
You acted the innocent and pure victim,
But you were in control the entire time.
I gave my entire heart to you and then some,
It was never enough to satisfy you,
All I ever wanted was your heart in return,
But in the end you decided that I had to share.
I couldn’t tell you properly how strongly I felt,
Though I think you already knew very well,
There is something e
