Faking it

[GirlInTheGreenGrass]

She sits alone and smiles
As another day goes by
Being happy without you
Happy you said goodbye

In her eyes exist no tears
and in her heart no pain
The sun broke through the clouds
and dried up all your rain.

Grey skies have turned blue
And her life is now complete
She's given up on loving you
She refuses to compete.

She finally has the eyes to see
What it is that left her blind.
You never really loved her.
Her heart...you couldn't find.

She knows one day true love will come
Something new she'll feel...
without all the pain and tears...
It will be different...it will be real.

She's this girl that forgets the pain
Of a love not meant to be.
She's this image in my mind
I try so hard to be....

something old I pulled out of my books, hope you enjoy:)

this is also full of
distant memories for me....


how we look inside to ease outside..

but again love is something we have to learn
come what may.like life.
the ups the downs most of all the togetherness
and the partings.....

dont mirror image the reflection you once saw

be alive and it will fade.become a distant memory
of a time when love was just a step away...

love n peace from saff

Awww, this one brought a tear to my eye! I've been there, and felt that for sure! Thanks for pulling this out of your old books. Got any more?

[GirlInTheGreenGrass]

None of these are recent. I like to post only my recent stuff...but I'll give ya some anyway since you asked. These are all mostly about my battles with love. I've grown a bit and I have a lot bigger battles.

Corrupted

There's something in your eyes.
that only she can see...
there's a place inside your heart...
she wishes she could be.

There's these empty arms before you...
if only you'd embrace.
and the tears, they just keep on falling...
please kiss them from her face.

There's a heart that lies here broken...
and a smile to hide the pain.
The memory of you still clouds over...
and then the always expected rain.

She needs to feel you one last time...
before you leave forever.
She needs to feel your lips, your touch.
She wants so bad to be together.

They tell her that's over, his love was never there
But they didn't feel the way she felt.
She wanted to hold up a lighter to hair...
Throw at them the truth cards they had dealt.

There's a girl that's lost and empty.
Trying to find her way
Out of my body and presence
That she corrupted...when he went away.

Hearts key

No one's ever loved me as much as you do.
No one's ever cared, about the hell I live through.

I faced each day with a smile on my face.
Underneath I was hiding all the pain and empty space.

And then you painted yourself in my picture and took it all away.
I don't have to pretend anymore, my smile is here to stay.
I don't understand how you did it, or even why.
But you made me feel better, and no more do I cry.

Whenever I'm around I feel finger prints on my heart
and I didn't think that was possible, from one so torn apart.

How did you ever find me?
Why couldn't I ever see?
That my heart was never broken,
it was just missing a simple key...

My Best Friend

Three years now I've known you.
You've become my best friend.
Your shoulder's always been there to cry on.
A feeling of security you send.
Never have you once hurt me
or made a single tear fall from my eye.
And all those times I almost gave up,
you gave me strength to try.
You were always there believing in me
When no one else would.
Always pushed me a little further...
all those times I didnt think I could.
You've always shared all your secrets,
and I've always shared mine.
And if you've noticed a little leakage,
I guess, well then it's time...
To tell you about the little secrets
those things inside you send..
The only thing I've ever kept from you
is that I'm in love with my best friend

Undecided

Sometimes I sit alone and wander
What it'd be like if you were still here
If loving you would be easy
If with you...there'd be tears.

My eyes used to watch the lips intentely
of someone mentioning you
But now I ask them about themselves.
Forgetting their comments, I break through.

So again I sit here alone and question
what I felt for you inside.
Once, sometime ago I believed it love...
But now I can't decide.

peace & <3

You're lyrical. And that can be rewarding. Just be sure to deep-six any convenient rhymes. Be in charge of all that you discover.
