The Fire
Every time I see you I step into a dream.
Your eyes are like the rich blue to a fire and make my heart sing.
As you look down and the light touches your face
I'm in a whole new world surrounded by your grace.
Your voice is one I can distinguish from all.
Because when I hear it I always seem to fall.
I fall into a dance with your words- your thoughts.
They caress my soul and nourish wants.
My eyes tend wonder along your stature
and with that they imagine a moment of pleasure.
Lust is one thing but it's not all I see
I honestly feel you are a part of...

Cold Season
Relationships come in a wide variety
and this particular one brings out the worst in me.
My thoughts don't count
and my opinions don't matter.
As soon as I feel tall
you push me down the ladder.
I'm patient with so many but with you I find
that even on my best days I can't treat you kind.
It's a two way road, the respect I don't receive.
And I tried to wait for it but I was practically on my knees.
You striked me down and made me feel low
And when I'm on the ground you think its a perfect time for a blow.
A blow to my head though...

Water and Oil
Trying to understand why I feel this way is difficult.
But, I can't deny that your presents effects me like a catapult.
By that I mean you bring me forward and make me feel strong.
Like I'm fighting a battle- a battle that is wrong.
Wrong because not everyone gets it.
Not everyone understand.
But then again if they did that means we would have to be more than friends.
Which is something I long for yet don't think I could handle.
However, I'd grip it and hold on for dear life like a flame to a candle.
Assuming I got the chance to give us a try. ...

Hell if I Know
By: Tara Rickman
Why is it that when I see you my heart aches?
I've never spoken to you nor do I even know your name.
It's as if I know you though we've yet to meet.
As if I know you will only hurt me if I give us a chance.
But all I can manage to muster up is a simple glance.
A glance in your direction in hopes you may see.
See me looking at you and maybe want us to be.
Why do I think of you every other minute... better yet, why do I think of you every other second?
The hell if I know why you are always on my mind.
The hell if I know why I long for you...

Tales of a Liar
By: Tara Rickman
I find it hard to think
or even to feel
As if if I say what's on my mind
I'll end up going down hill
Talking to you is like talking to a wall
every time I try to break through I am stalled
You and I were suppose to make it
now I find we cannot even fake it
All the memories we use to cherish
I find myself wishing would perish
All the smiles I wore with you
now seem to make me blue
What we had was something desirable
now I see you and I were impossible
Your lies were white and pure
but they built up and now there's...

Good Byes
By: Tara Rickman
I knew it would happen
Because I've been through it before
I just didn't know it would hurt so much more
I tried not to allow it
Because the last time was so bad
But now it's about to happen and it's driving me mad
You'll never understand why it hurts so much
But I can't forget
And it's like de'ja vu
Every. Single. Last. Bit.
See, I care too much
and too easily
So every good bye is like a knife in me
I thought I could prevent it
and at first it worked
But I've realized I couldn't and it makes my heart hurt...

The One Who Makes Me Smile
By: Tara Rickman
His smile brings me happiness
And those lips of him make me long for a kiss
His charm is undeniable
And that laugh of his is so transmittable
The blue in his gorgeous eyes
Makes me realize
Realize there can be a better tomorrow
Even if today was filled with sorrow
But as I implied before
His smile is something I adore
So every day I'm in his presence
A day of sadness is not on the order of business
Hearing his voice makes my day
Especially when the words are heading my way
He's a man's man that hunts and fishes...
