I
sit
and wa-
tch as an o
friend walks
away from me
and all our m
emories into
her new life



(its supposed to be a teardrop didnt turn out so well)







I love you

A rose behind her ear
Walking down the raod smiling all the more
He makes her want him to be near
Warm and fuzzy all the way down to my core
He had no idea what happens to me
Whenever he's around
He has my hearts key
Cause love makes the world go round
Smiling, laughing, playing, dancing in the rain
Caring, loving, needing, wanting you
Get on the train
We need to get Jen and Tyler
All together forever
Love between the four of us and together we'll flee

Sunrise

Sunrise a time for a new beginning a new day
But days always turn into nights
The most beautiful flower will wilt over time
And time is what brings wonders
Wonders are apart of your dreams
Dreams let you elplore the world as you want
When you dream you are in your own world
A world that you create how you want
The world where you can be you
The world where no one can tell you how to be
You could dress how you want without being labeled
The place you can escape to, the place you can call home
When you dream you can be happy
You can get away from all the drama
Your life can be easier
You get to be able to forget about your problems
You can walk away for a bit
You get to be able to have fun
You can love how you want
Not how you are told
Sadly dreams are not real
Life and death are real
Love and hate do exist and they are real
In dreams you aren't told how or what to do

Dreams and Wonders
Life and Death
Love and Hate




Daddy


Daddy smiling at me in the mirror
I’m twirling in my princess dress
Five years old and didn’t have a clue
That daddy was picturing me in my white dress

Growing older I realized how much he loves me
Doesn’t want me to leave
Doesn’t want me to grow up and be free
Wants me to be his little girl forever

The little princess he always wanted
Damn is that hard
Trying to fill the shoes that he created
Hope I don’t let him down too bad

When he finds out
I’m not who I let him believe
More of a rebel than a good girl in and out
Should I show the true me?

Help me out here grams
I never needed you this much before
Please tell me what to do
Give me a sign, or a lure

Just please tell me
Answer my one question
Please then I’ll leave you be
Am I going to hurt him?

Will he be proud of me?
Ashamed?
Is he going to leave me like lee?
God I hope not

One word, two word
Only two words
Should I tell him the word?
That I lied to him for 16 years?

I’m going out on a limb here
“Daddy, can I tell you something?”
Nodding his head “sure”
“I…never mind” I cant do it

“You sure honey?”
“Yeah daddy don’t worry”
Walking away I let the first tear fall

Going into my room
I open the window and embrace the cold rain
Jumping out I ran to his house
My heart filled with so much pain.

Maybe he will understand
But I want him to know first that he is my everything
Please baby forgive me, look out your window as I stand
Rain pelting my face

Mascara smeared
Eyeliner all over
Crying in the rain always works
For a long lost lover

Walk with me
I need you
Together we can flee
But first I need to tell daddy the truth

As long as he knows
And I have you
I think I can finally
Be free

Sorry daddy
But I can’t live a lie anymore
I love him and will marry him
He will be dancing with me in his arms on that floor

He may not have a ring yet
But he will
I know he wont leave it lay
He will buy me the best he can

Daddy, will you dance with me?
To our song?
I loved her first, just for me
We both love it.

Then to Red Sovines
Daddy’s girl
I just want you to hold me
One more time like when I was a little girl

The song is ending and my daddy passes me off
He holds me while I cry
I cry for my daddy and everything
It’s my time to fly.

“Dance with me, love” he said
Looking at him with my big blue teary eyes
“Anything for you sweetheart”
He tied off all his ties

Mine for the rest of forever
He will always be my man
Loving and needing him
Even if he’s so tan

A big family he wants
He told me himself a while back
When we were youngins
But we really do need some slack

Daddy doesn’t want to be a pop-pop yet
And I can’t be a mommy not now
But maybe we can try
Even if I’ll look like a fat cow


Looking into his eyes
I know if I say no he’ll listen
And won’t tell lies
Because he loves and respects me.




Standing in the Rain


I watch as she stands,
Getting soaked by the rain.
Clothes sticking to her skin,
Why is she in so much pain?

All alone in her world
She looks so lost
When will she have her time?
Doing every thing, she can at every cost.

Moving down the road,
She pulls her hood up.
Make up smeared everywhere
Eyeliner not where it should

Passing a one way street sign
She draws a broken heart.
If only life and love worked that way,
A one-way street.

She stops moving,
She screams up to god
“Why me? I’ve had enough.”
Murmuring repeatedly “what else god? What else?”

Falling on her knees
She scrambles to get up
Will god answer her pleas?
Or is he waiting for her to give up?

Her parent’s car pulls up
However, she will not give in
When will they give up?
Torn between the two.

Mother & Father or “him”
Can she choose?
Can she go on any further?
When will she end it?

Hands in her pockets,
Pulling the gun out,
And aims for her head.
POW! Bullets come flying out.

She flops on the ground.
Blood flowing out of her head.
She is no more
Looks like she could not choose.


Daddy



Walking down that isle,
Daddy’s arm clinging to mine,
Finally gonna have my fairytale ending,
All I need is a little time.

Something old,
Something new,
Something borrowed,
With something blue.

Mom is crying,
Dad is holding the tears,
My brothers are smiling,
My husband will make me grin for years.

Daddy reaches the alter,
I finally see the tears flow,
A kiss and hug before departing our separate ways,
I let a tear go.

Standing waiting to say “I Do”,
Flash backs are attacking me,
Daddy hugging me after I had my first heartbreak and so on,
Daddies finally letting me go after all these years, he let me free.

I hope daddy does not think I am leaving him,
I just wish I could wake up one more day to see his face,
Tears are finally flowing,
I can see my brothers holding them in.

My brothers are holding in their tears,
But soon their gonna let them flow down,
After all the years of teasing all these years,
Their baby sister grew up.

I said “I do” and I kissed my groom,
I am officially part of a new family,
Give me my mop and my broom,
I am going to be a mother and a wife.

I miss living with my daddy,
But what little princess wouldn’t?
I love him with all my heart,
I know he would make me move back but he can’t.









Walk Away With Me

Walk away with me
We can run away
I love you and you love me too right?
Put me in your arms and forever I’ll stay.


I’m sorry we weren’t together before
But now we are
Waling into the store
Your arm wrapped around my shoulder.

I look up with a smile
On my face laughing
At something you said, my smile
Fell when I say the time.

So much love to put in my eyes
Let my feelings shine through
No my eyes aren’t telling lies
I love you and I’m in love.

Don’t ever leave me
Cause I need you
You officially hold the key
To my heart.

At our sleepovers
You tuck me in
And kiss my forehead
And say I win.


You say you win
Because you got me
And in your heart
We are free

Snuggling
Kissing
Hugging
Wanting
Needing
Having
Loving
You

Snuggling
Kissing
Hugging
Wanting
Needing
Having
Loving
Me

Baby, I love you.
