Poet Introduction
Writing is my therapy, my escape and one of the very few things in life that feels right to me.

Heartbeat
I love to cuddle up next to you
To hear the music you make
Your body plays a special tune
And it stays in my head all day
It lulls me to a gentle sleep
And sets my soul at ease
Lyrics of love are what it speaks
And I sing with you in harmony
Because I know the words to your song
And I'm naturally on key
That's how I know we belong
When we connect so easily
So let me lay my head on your chest
To listen to the emotion you've suppressed
Take me right into the depths
Of the feelings you long to express
I will complement your...
To hear the music you make
Your body plays a special tune
And it stays in my head all day
It lulls me to a gentle sleep
And sets my soul at ease
Lyrics of love are what it speaks
And I sing with you in harmony
Because I know the words to your song
And I'm naturally on key
That's how I know we belong
When we connect so easily
So let me lay my head on your chest
To listen to the emotion you've suppressed
Take me right into the depths

No More Pretending I Don't Love You
I'll pretend that I don't love you
For a moment my dreams will come true
And the thought of you won't even come through
I'll just start my life brand new
I'll play around with all the boys
And find myself some fun toys
It will be easy to find joy
No more acting coy
Your name won't mean a thing to my head
I'll be able to sleep alone in my bed
Forgetting every single word you said
To my heart you will be completely dead
The feeling of your love won't even exist
Your kiss will mean nothing to these lips
No good times for me to reminisce...
For a moment my dreams will come true
And the thought of you won't even come through
I'll just start my life brand new
I'll play around with all the boys
And find myself some fun toys
It will be easy to find joy
No more acting coy
Your name won't mean a thing to my head
I'll be able to sleep alone in my bed
Forgetting every single word you said
To my heart you will be completely dead
The feeling of your love won't even exist
Your kiss will mean nothing to these lips
No good times for me to reminisce...

Concerned
Your behaviour is concerning
What is it that you're learning?
Every day you keep on turning
Lighting fires and leaving them burning
I smell the smoke from over here
It makes it hard to see you clear
Before I blink you disappear
Then come back acting slightly weird
I keep thinking you need your space
To spend some time with yourself to waste
And though your want for it may be the case
Perhaps it's not what you need to be safe
Is this silence an expression of your cries?
Do you need me to wipe the tears from your eyes?
Is there something...
What is it that you're learning?

Give Me a Try
When your friends have left you astray
And you have nowhere for your head to lay
And you just can't see a better day
Just give me a try
When the whole world seems too much to bear
And you can't find a reason to care
I'm the one who will always be there
So just give me a try
I know what it's like to be all alone
To long for someone you can call your own
I understand the struggles of life
Lost loves, heartbreak and strife
And I know that we all could use a friend
One who is real and not pretend
So after you've done all that you can do...
And you have nowhere for your head to lay
And you just can't see a better day
Just give me a try
When the whole world seems too much to bear
And you can't find a reason to care
I'm the one who will always be there
So just give me a try
I know what it's like to be all alone
To long for someone you can call your own

The Ocean
Left out to dry on the sand
But I'm not scared I'm relaxed
The hot sun caresses me
And nearly undresses me
The sounds of waves they
Bring me a sense of safety
I can feel they want to take me
And I want to know where they lead
So I will wait here on the shore
Just a few hours more
Until the tide rushes in
I'm ready to swim
Let the cool breeze calm my nerves
Build the waves big enough to surf
I'm not coming out of my shell
Until I feel the world is well
Keep my thoughts to myself
No I don't need any help
I...

Thank You for Loving Me
So many emotions, that words can't express
But I want you to know that, I'm gonna try my best
To tell you how much, I appreciate your love
The way you accept me, and the way you never judge
When I feel I'm not good enough, you show me that I am
You believe in me like no one does, I don't understand
How you can have such confidence in me, that I don't always have in myself
In words it's hard to tell, and I'm just kind of overwhelmed
If I could describe this feeling, then best believe I would
But just know that it keeps me, smiling cuz it feels so good
If...

Maybe
Maybe it's just nothing
Maybe I shouldn't feel
Maybe I'm overreacting
Maybe this isn't real
Maybe I read too much into things
Maybe I'm not that smart
Maybe I'm too sensitive
Maybe I give too much of my heart
Maybe we should communicate
Maybe I shouldn't say a word
Maybe I have too many opinions
Maybe some things are better left unheard
Maybe I love too deep and strong
Maybe I put up with far too much
Maybe I'm too afraid to be wrong
Maybe I'm way too scared to trust
Maybe I need to let things go
Maybe there's a lot I forget...

Hurt Me with Truth
You tell me that you'll wait for me
But come on, you know that's a lie
You're just trying to be sweet
But you're only sweet when you don't try
I've paid attention to your ways
And tested it many times
Results are always the same
Leaving me with tears in my eyes
I'm here for you to do what you wish
And what you wish to do is nothing
I already know that you'd tell me different
If I confronted you with this one thing
I'm guessing that you'd change the topic
Or maybe you'd just make an excuse
Because instead of being honest
You like to...

Drama Queen
Desperate for attention, you'll do anything for a mention
Betray trust with intention, there's no limit to the extension
Make up dramatic situations, play your part of devastation
If you fool the population, they'll feed your love starvation
You used to want to be an actress, I bet you think this is practice
Faking emotions in every scene, you're nothing but a drama queen
Those who don't know are blinded by the friendship you provide
I was once too, until that day you lied
Now I watch you closely, like a stalker
But when I watch, I look at you, I'm a gawker...

Between the Lines
Unexposed feelings hide deep within my soul
But you never see them because I've got so much control
You see what I want you to and nothing more than that
Figuring me out is purely fiction, not fact
Words can conceal any emotion of my choosing
Yet they can reveal the feelings that I'm losing
The scars in my heart and the love that's brewing
And how my soul bleeds from all this bruising
I know it seems like everything is a test
With subliminal messages and never being direct
I drop subtle hints and still you haven't noticed yet
That I'm trying to...

Our Friendship
Our friendship is one that I am truly thankful for
And I promise to treasure every memory till forever more
From the smiles and laughs to the heartache and tears
To the way that you listened when I just wanted someone to hear
The way you opened up to me and trusted me with so much
Made me feel privileged, honored, and loved
Just being here for you is something I always love to do
And I promise I'll continue for as long as life allows me to
Now this isn't a poem to say goodbye or anything of that type
It's just that you never know what's gonna happen in life...
And I promise to treasure every memory till forever more
From the smiles and laughs to the heartache and tears
To the way that you listened when I just wanted someone to hear
The way you opened up to me and trusted me with so much
Made me feel privileged, honored, and loved
Just being here for you is something I always love to do
And I promise I'll continue for as long as life allows me to
Now this isn't a poem to say goodbye or anything of that type
It's just that you never know what's gonna happen in life...

Helpless
I know this place
I’ve been here before
The tears stream down your face
You can’t take anymore
It’s so cold down here
You just don’t’ deserve this
It’s like I’m looking in the mirror
When I see you feeling so worthless
I just wanna help
But there’s nothing I can do
The strength is in yourself
It’s all up to you
And so I’m forced to watch
With open eyes, paralyzed
The pain never stops
And I won’t let myself cry
Because I know it’s not right
This pain is not mine
I could almost cry your tears
And feel the pain you...
