About The Author
Hi, you're reading this section because you want to know a little bit
more about me. Well the first place to start is my name, Esjae isn't
my real name, quite obviously, it's actually Stacey Hubbard. The
shortened version is the extended version of my initials 'SJ'
My passion for poetry comes from one very memorable English Lesson in year 9, we were meant to
be watching a modern film version of Romeo and Juliet. But I just couldn't get into it (Ms Bailey
would kill me), so I ended up writing - 'Hood Up, Head Down' my first ever poem! Ever since then my
passion for writing and poetry has just grown and I write whenever I get the chance.

This book is dedicated to...
All my family and friends that have supported me and helped me
become the person that I am today.
Especially, my old (not old as in age - but in time) English teacher Ms Bailey as without her Iwouldn't be writing poetry today.

A Dream Love
Your breath on my neck
Our lips pressed together
A feeling I cant describeEvery time your eyes meet mine
I fall deeper in love,
With your smile, with the blue in your eyes
I dont need to search anymore
Because standing in front of my door
Is my knight, my Mr. Right
With so many fish in the sea,
I didnt realise how easy it would be,
To find someone perfect for me
On my mind twenty four seven
My new found heaven
A future life
I long to be called your wife

A Feeling No One Can Miss
Walking hand in hand
Strolling side by side

Met by your longing gaze
Its a feeling that you cant missGreeted by your kiss
Just to be with you
Is all Id ever want to do

A Girls Love Isnt a Toy
If I dont come first and you think of me last
Then you should know for sure that Im becoming your past
Think of it this way,
Buying diamonds and pearls isnt the key to my heartSaying tender words is the way to make me stay
Pushing me from left to right is only going to make me want to part
I should be your all and everything
Not one in a string of meaningless flings
Words arent always enough
You should remain by my side even when things start to get tough
Think of this as real love
Someone youre proud of
An angel sent to you from above
Love never fades
You shouldnt feel the need to upgrade
Everything you ever want should be in front of you
Or you shouldnt say those three words, 'I love you'
I want you too
People say were just like two love birds
But I need to be your only girl
The only one youre thinking of at nightThe only one you want to be holding tight
A girls love isnt a toy
Its something you should enjoy
Shes someone you should cherish
If you don't you love will only perish

A Grain Of Rice
Dying in Africa
We say were starving
The lost their life, just fighting for a grain of rice
Supermarkets scatter the streets
Imagine days on your feetAll for a grain of rice
Doctors on our doorstep
Think of dragging a loved one for miles around
In the hope that help will be found
Live a day in their life
And itll be easy
Im not starving are you?

A Life Lost
The bullet from the gun
Lays still in your chest
Your face cold and alone
This war isnt something that we can condonePromises that it will be all right
Tell me when there wont be a need to fight
So many lives are lost
Bodies lying alone and forgotten
This war has such a big cost
Please enlighten me
To why these lives have the key
Isnt there another way for us to plea?
For you to lie so still
And for me to watch your blood spill
All for them to rewrite history
The reasons will always remain a mystery
Although youll be remembered as a hero
Your story written in The Metro
Your Name unknown
Your life lost in a war zone

Addict
Shivering
Scratching at your skin
As if trying to let it in
Mind buzzing
Unable to focusEyes darting
Living like a dog
And then it comes
Sharp and powerful
A jolt of life into your body
How long will it last
Your heroin fix

Aint Life a Bitch?
Friends come and go
Just like the waves of the sea
Creating a web of lies
Is that the way life is meant to be?Your muffled cries
Ignored by those who are meant to care
Laying motionless in a ditch
And all they are able to say is,
Aint life a bitch?

Aint No Other Way
Lets sit down
Talk it out
Work it out
Theres a future in me and youCan you see it too?
Aint no other way
Than to say I love you
They dont understand what we go through
We got to have this heart to heart
So that we wont part
We fight
We break up
But still its alright
We get back together
Maybe this time it will be forever

All I Want
All I want to do is see you smile
For you to see that Im different
Not one of the crowd
All I want you to do is for you to let me be
The person I know I amNot who you think I should be
All I want you to do
Say that you understand
Because youll always be proud
Of who ever I am
Of whatever I want to be
I need to know that youll always love me

All The Good Things...
Good things start small
Good people walk tall
Good things come to those who wait
Good people dont take the bait
What goes around comes around
Dont let it knock you to the ground
Words sting
Just remember your dreaming
Got your future planned
Not making decisions off hand
Remember
Start small
Walk tall
Sit tight and wait
And good things will come to you

All Youre Worth
Ill give you all youre worth
From the moon and the stars right down to the earth
Lets stay together for the rest of time
Just promise that youll be mineAnd that youll never let me go
Say that our love will grow, is that even possible
This love is already magical
Never thought I would have something so special
Never thought that one person could take over my mind
I think that this could be a sign
That you are meant to be mine
And that were meant to be together
For now and forever
Together we can take on the world
I want to be your only girl
The one to know your deepest secrets
And to never become one of your greatest regrets

Alone Again
Walking alone
Disappearing into the shadows
Hidden from view
All you can see is the broken smile
Crystal tears
Broken smile
Is this how anyone should live?

Already Broken Promise
I was supposed to be your girl
The one you grace with diamonds and pearls
I swore to never hurt you
But look at what you can doIs this you at your best?
With each lie that comes Im waiting for the rest
If this is what love is supposed to be
Then this isnt what I want, not you and me
Let's go back to the days when we first met
The days I really want to forget
People say things they dont mean
But I know what Ive seen
We can make up after a fight
But not this time, were not going to be alright
Lets be honest
Oh wait, lets go back a minute youve already broken that promise
Im fed up of trying to put my life back together
Especially when you said wed last forever

Always Yours
Im stuck on you
Im falling in love
With everything you do
I want it to be you and me
Forever and alwaysIts the way it should be
Were together forever
I never want to let you go
This I want you to know
Dont walk in front of me, I may not follow
Dont walk behind me, I may not lead
Just walk beside me, and be all that I need
Without you my heart was left without a beat
With you in my arms my life is complete
I want to be the smile you but on you face
The girl you hold in your embrace
Just dont ever leave or walk awayThis may sound cliché
But I love you forever and always

As Good As Ours
Everybody is looking for love
Their guardian angel sent from above
Someone to whisper their name in the dark
Longing to feel that sparkHeart skipping a beat
Every time their eyes meet
Laying under the stars
One thing we know,
Their love will never be as good as ours

Because Of You
Youve been there since I was small
And every day since Ive grown tall
When I think of the days we shared
The memories you have given me, nothing couldve compared
Our bond so strongMaking everyone belong
If it wasnt for you
Then none of this I would have been able to do

Behind The Photograph
The photograph shows a scene
But you can remember the memory behind it
All the people united
To share the special feeling
And to make another memoryTo last forever
Captured by a camera
Kept in your heart

Blind Love
I cant live without you
I wish you felt it too
Apart but together so strong
Its with you that I belong
Cant you see that youre always on my mind?I guess I was blind
To how you really felt
Even though everyday you made my heart melt

Ill carve my name in your heart
That way Ill be sure well never part
After our first date

No need for the big gestures
Or past confessions

Changing Times
Chocolate, sweets and treats
Falling from the sky
The sound of childrens laughter
Right into the distance
This is how it used to be
Guns, knives and violence
From the hands of teenagers
The sound of victims screams
Right into the distance
This is what its turning to be
The time is changing
The sound is changing
The lives are ending

Crying For Help
The streets are littered with so many teenage pregnancies
Along with many other dangers and obscenities
Knives and guns carried for pride
Cars not owned, just used while on a joyrideLives filled with drama
Police head to foot in armour
The people you hang with is a statement
Flowers and crying eyes a constant reminder of the bereavement
Pouring into the street day after day
A society crying for help
Instead sent into a shock everyday
As another town is on its own

Directed By Our Dreams
Theres you and me
We all strive to be the best that we can be
Different but so similar
We all want to be lovedWe all need to be needed
Full of ambition
Directed by our dreams
You cant change who you are
Its time to raise the bar
Its time to succeed
And exceed all expectation
Without confrontation an contemplation
Fulfil your dreams
To every possible extreme

Dont Forgive And Forget Anymore
I wish you could see
That what is happening to you isnt right
Each time you forgive and forget
I live with regret
You are worth so much moreOne day you will open your closed eyes
And the haze will rise
You will see what we know
Then you will realize
You are worth so much more

Each And Everyday
Each day I see the rain
And Im reminded of your pain
Every day you told me you couldnt cope
And I told you we would work it out
Every day you said of all youre hurtAnd I said one day it would end
Each day I visit you
And tell you about my day
Each day I think of what you never had
And I wish you were able to cope
Every day I visit your graveside
And I say the words only I know how to say
Every day I say this for you
And I know one day well be together
Every day I ask you to wait
And I think about your fate

Every Piece Of My Heart
Stars are falling
Everyday my heart is calling,
I know I acted dumb
And now my heart is numbIm trying to figure out a way
To make you understand that,
I dont want you to go astray
I cant take another day
Without you knowing
Every piece of my heart is on the ground
Waiting for them to be found

Find You Again
We were on a stairway to heaven
Met you at eleven
Just like Cinderella
Had to leave at twelveMy prince charming
When will you come back
Its been a year or so
And in that time my thoughts of you continue to grow
I see you ahead of me in the street
It must be fate that theres a second time for us to meet
All I want to do
Is say I love you
When I do I hope you dont forget it
Because its taken just over a year or so
To find you again

Footprints On Your Heart
Making footprints on your heart
Is just like walking on untouched snow
Taking baby steps, until we can watch our love grow
Youll always be more than and nothing lessThan I could have asked for
The blue sky surrounds me
Since the day that you found me
Look into your heart
And thats where Ill always be
Just let your love reach me

Friends Forever
Hanging out together
Known forever
Our problems shared
I know youve caredLife can be tough
But together we see it through
No words exchanged
Events arranged
I know that you and I
Will be friends forever
Never will I forget
The time that we met
The notes passed
Here in class
Make the danger seem just like glass
I think our friendship will be treasured forever
Especially as well be friends forever

Friendship Versus Relationship
Sometimes its just easier
Being friends
But wanting more
Maybe even loversWe say, I love you
I know you aint trippin
Coz loving you is all I could ever want to do
But I dont want to lose the,
Long talks and late night walks
If we make the commitment
Will it be one with regret?
Hoping that its one well be able to forget
Friendship versus relationship
When do you draw the line?
And take the time to say
What I have is enough

Hidden Words
Hidden inside of you
Are the things you cant say
The true feelings you hide
Some of your biggest dreams
Your deepest fears
Open up, and let it all out
Someone will understand
But being you, the words get stuck
You say the words you think we want to hear
One day everyone will know what you have to say
And they will understand your mistakes

Homeless
Cold and lonely
I know for sure he wont be the only
No bed or food
Is it a wonder hes in such a bad moodPassersby narrowing their eyes
No words pass their lips, not a hello or goodbye
Rejected by society
Not trusted with any responsibility
Neglected and alone
Without a shelter to call home
Roaming the street
Trying to survive in the extreme heat
With one companion, mans best friend
Just to live, every law he has to bend

Hood Up, Head Down
Hood up, head down
Plodding across the ground
Face mysterious
The public become curiousHood up, head down
The misunderstood frown
Walking around
The soul never found
Hood up, head down
Strolling through the town
Ahead another rowdy crowd
All with heads bowed
Hood up, head down
Plodding across the ground
Heading home again
Tonight I have found enemy and friend
Hood up, head down
Once again...

I Can Always Live With The Memories
We are done
But lets not be forgetting
All the memories
And the making of the melodiesWeve had our fair share of
Arguments, fighting and fussing
You take a step forward
But Im quite happy staying back here in the past
I might be blind
But baby understand
Im willing to let you go
If you let me stay here
With all of our memories
I might sit up all night
But its not the daily fights that stay on my mind
Remember how we used to be
But I guess the world just got in the way
Every day you had to work really late
Each night I was willing to wait
Dont tell me you were just chillin with your mates
See where we end
Its just like where we beganRemember the days when I made your world go round
Its hard to watch you go
But I can always live with the memories

Ill wish it lasted forever

I Pray
I see where you last lay
And then I pray
If I knew what brought them to do this
But that wouldnt change what I miss
What if I was there?Would you still be here?
Why have you been taken from us like this?
Is it like some cruel test?
Everything passes in a haze
Im living in a daze
All I can see is where you last lay
And then I wish
I was with you on your last day
Youve gone and wont be coming back
All I ask for,
Is one more day.
God, please reunite is someway

Ill Never Be Alone
I could look into your eyes all night
You captured my heart at the first sight
Your lips so soft
In you Im lostS love that could last forever, I dont know
Hes a gentleman who insists on walking me home
Exchanging numbers he cant believe Im alone
Five years later, I have a ring on my finger
Our babys laugh as my ringer
We have a house to call our own
And a promise from him that Ill never be alone
Because we have a love to last forever
As we are a couple meant to be together

Im Glad Were Through
Your love is like a fire
Once it was burning and strong, built to last
Now its dying, dwindling in its ashes
All I want is for a way to blow the smoke awayA brand new start
Is that too much to ask for?
You send crazy thoughts through my mind
Someone I once needed so much
Turned into someone I cant even trust
As the words tumble from your mouth
Ive leant to let them just slip passed
I deserve more
Youve left my heart shattered on the floor
I believed in you
But there wasnt anything you could do
One thought in your mind,
It wasnt love
Now all is said and done,
Its just the memories left behind
Im not tied to you
Youre a closed door
Ive found someone who gives me moreAnd now Im happy to say Im glad were through

Im Not Afraid
Dont stereotype me
Please dont tell me who I should be
In my head I know
And thats how my personality is going to growI see all the problems you see
Dont try and blame them on me
The streets have a voice
Every person has a choice
Decide what path their going to take
What laws their going to break
Nobody will force the weapon in their hand
Buts lets join together and make a stand
Guide them to the right way
Its your turn to be a role model today
Take some responsibilities
Dont be blaming us for all the controversies
We drive you to the brink
Day after day you see another turn to the drink
Ill stand up for those without a voice
Ill stand up for those without a choice
Im proud to be different
Not like all the others up the duff you know, pregnant
Im at college everyday
Are you getting what Im trying to say?Im not like them
Most of their choices I dont condemn
Not smoking, not ever
Have I taken drugs? No never
Dont judge what you dont understand
Thats why Im making a stand and raising my stand
Ive got a voice
And Im making my choice

Cant you see the tears running down my face?
Dont they look out of place?
Cant you see the bruises on my skin?

Raise your hand

One day youll see the tracks on my cheeks
One day I wont be blue anymore

Jailbird Love
I can listen to you lie
But every time another part of me will die
And another tear I will cry
Just like a gunshot to my heartA bullet to my brain
But by your side I still remain
Im told I deserve better
More than a jailbird and his monthly letter
Locked away for his violence
Without him around the house is filled with a deathly silence
No crashing plates
No drug taking mates
Just me and my bruises
I know people think youre abusive
I know people think Im stupid
Maybe even deluded
How can you help who you fall for?
But I cant withstand this love anymore
I am stronger than this
Not taken in by your kiss
Ill tell it to you straight
But Ive left it too late
Now I am the reason youre in your cell
Accompanied to my farewell
Maybe it was just a possessive love
Now I can only be represented by a white dove

But youve left me with a love unfound

You see me sitting there all alone
Crying down the phone
Youll never know
How I felt about youWhat I would have done for you
You were my dream
And I was your queen

Every date rearranged
Putting your guys first
Our love was always cursed
Just let me walk away
Stop trying to get me to stay
This isnt what I planned
Im not yours on demand

When you look in my eyes
Do you see the problems Im trying to solve?
Are you able to tell me that theres some hope?
Will you tell me how long Ill have to wait?
Until everythings right again
When you look in my eyes
Do you understand why Im unable to hold my head high?
Will you be able to tell me everythings alright
Are you able to help me in anyway?
Deep inside we both know
I have to do this alone
To know you are there is enough
And it has given me strength
To go alone on this journey

Love Is Overrated
Love is overrated
In the end its only your feelings that will be obliterated
My feelings are left stranded at the door
Yet Im still left wanting moreI cant get it into my head
That what we had began and ended in your bed
Youre turning me into a whore
Because our love is becoming a chore
I might well be poor
It was your love that I needed to make me rich
Go ahead, keep cursing my name
We both know that wont make me your bitch
Sleeping around is how you got your fame
But somehow I got it into my head that your soul I would be able to tame
Im working day and night
To reach a new height
Each day the bar is raised
All Im asking for is some praise
I need a wish, Im on my knees ready to prey
Hoping that tomorrow will be my day

Meaningless
It never crossed my mind
That I could be unwanted by so many
That what I feel could be so meaningless
If I said what was in my head
Then you would care even lessI didnt realize this was such a big mess
Now I dont feel afraid of any of this
I know Im different and you dont like it
But if you want to know me, youll have to understand me
Im never going to change
And because of that no words will be exchanged
Everything will stay the same
Except I now know who I am inside
Whether thats who I am, or the one I show
Im just trying to let you know

Writing my fist name with your last making me youre Mrs
Every day I cant wait for one of your kisses
You light up my life when things get darkOur fingers intertwined strolling around the park
If the day turns to night, Ill love you by candlelight
When our eyes met I knew my heart was sold
Together were going to make a teen love story with a happy ending
Because when Im with you my heart doesnt need mending
Whoever said dreams dont come true
Hasnt seen me when Im with you

Hidden from view
Dismissed from your thoughts
Capable of living on my own
Fought through most of it
The rest I will go alone
Living in the shadows
Maybe I dont belong anywhere
Ill take another lie
But all I can see is what is beneath the words
Unable to be the one you trust
I thought everything was fine
But now I see I was just taking another lie
Every word loses the true meaning
Just disappear into the shadows
Away from this cloud of confusion

Saying you are the one
Falling in love
Hoping you are there through it all
Because now you are my world
Laying beneath the stars
Listening to your heart beating
Not saying a word
The silence says it all
There is something about the way you smile
That lights up the whole world
There is nothing that I could do without you
There is something about your eyes,
That makes me fall every time

Not An Imitation
How do you tell the one you love
Youre in love with another
Who promises the world
Not just material things like diamonds and pearlsA man who treats me like a princess
He doesnt listen to my past as if its something I should confess
Promising to help me succeed my dreams
And test life to its extremes
A complete gentleman
One who will pay for meals and hold open doors
Who will carry you shopping from the store
The only person you want to catch you when you fall
The first to be in your missed calls
A real man
Not an imitation of one

One Way Friendship
Together we said we would be friends forever
Stick by each other everyday
Every private joke Ill remember forever
One argument things change
But I remain by your sideI know what you mean when you say
Things will be awkward
Slowly things go back to the old ways
Another day, another joke
So much trust between you and I
Another argument things are different
I thought Id find you by my side
And help me solve this riddle of problems
Lost without my friend forever
Everything we said, lost in our friendship untold
One lost joke, though it doesnt seem as funny without you
Maybe one day we will be friends forever againBut for now...
Your secrets safe with me

Not doing it for some kind of buzz

We can talk, about everything under the sun
A person can only ever, make a memory
But together we can make that memory last forever

Your mind so priceless
Your soul floating lifeless
The result of so many harmful words
Making your soul float away like a flock of flying birdsI wish you could see
That what is happening to you just isnt the way it should be
Each time you forgive and forget
Theyll never live with regret
You are worth so much more
The pain worse than before
One day youll open your eyes
And the haze will rise

About the life that used to be controlled
Your feelings no longer need to be hidden
The pain you once felt will never be forgiven

Separate Ways
I know Ive got to do this
But boy your love Im going to miss
We cant work it out anymore
Because my heart is shattered in pieces on the floorWe agreed to take it slow
That way our love would be guaranteed to grow
We couldnt be more wrong
Proved in your heart wasnt where I belong
You couldnt even remember the name of our song
Dont tell me to calm down
Im not even asking you to stick around
Didnt think in our home it would rain
Filled with screaming, heartache and pain
While I let my heart and brain make a mends
We cant even stay friends
Its time to go our separate ways

Setting The Scene
Laying on the round
Looking so peaceful
The scene around you devastating
Flashing lights, sirens, blood
Everything is done for a reasonWhat reason is good enough for this?
Would you want to live again?
If there was an end like this
Would you be the victim?
Living in a new space
Id be happy to take your place
Will you be happy now you lay so still?

She Says She Loves Him
She says she loves him
But everyone can see its just a whim
She thinks it comes from her heart
But in reality they should be apart
He cant see through the lies in her eyesAnd comforts every tear she cries
Their hearts are like an out of time collaboration
Its only going to end in devastation
A love without any sign of hope
I wonder if his heart will cope...

Sleep Tight
Each number has a name
And each name has a number
Imagine being lost in a crowd
Never to be found
Just a number with a nameA name lost in this world
Fighting for you and I
For us to have a piece of mind
I hope you sleep well tonight
Knowing a number with a name
Died for you tonight

Small Steps
Music plays in my head like a movie
Youre the soundtrack to my life
Its never going to be easy
But youve always been around to save meNow youve caught me just before I fall
You hand grips mine
Taking small steps
Dont know who Id be without you
Your face decorates my dreams
Your hand guides me down the street
My heart wont beat without you
I cant take a breath without you
Take a step back,
See who youve made me
Take a step beside me,
See now your guiding me
Take a step in front,
See your going now

Someday Soon
Today maybe a new day
But there will always be
The problems on the outside
The people who cant see who you really are
The ones who want you to be different
You always say, make the best of what you have
But how can you when,
You know someone will die
You know someone will be unhappy
You know everything is out of your hands
I know tomorrow is coming
And theres nothing you can do
No one will start a new
For some it will end
But for someone somewhere it will be a good dayFor you it could be today, tomorrow or someday soon

Something To Remember
Some people call you crazy, I call you mine
Together well last till the end of time
Written like a fairytale, our love is meant to last
Forget about the past, look into the futureTogether well make it something to remember
A moment together will last forever
Saying those three words to each other
And knowing well never part
Always treasured in my heart
Written in the stars
Is our future in each other
Guiding us down our path together
Finger interlocked
Hearts intertwined
Just like those two star crossed lovers

Sorry For Breaking It To You This Way
I never asked to fall in love
Id already given up
Dont need an angel from above
Im all out of luckIm not willing to try
It will only be a waste of time
Sorry if its not what you what you want to hear
But I just dont want you near
Im sorry for breaking it to you in this way
But there wasnt anything else for me to say
Theres not much either of us could do
I just dont love you

Spiralling Love
Love, hate, passion and fate
One minute youre walking tall
The next youre falling beyond all control
If it wasnt for the glint in your eyesThat shot me to the skies
My heart wouldnt be breaking
And this smile I wouldnt be faking
I just wish I was the one on your mind at night
And during the day we didnt fight
Saying things we didnt mean
Believing what everyone else has seen
I know Ive had my chance
But really you shouldnt have shot me that glance
Do you know the feelings I have inside when you say my name?
How can you play with my heart like its a game?
Boy do you have no shame
Following my every step
With love you dont have time to prep

Stay By My Side
Youve opened my mind
To what the future could hold
Fingers intertwined
Hearts beat in timeYoure like the puzzle piece Ive been trying to find
Your love feels electric
Pulsing through my veins
Im ready to fly
With you by my side
Gliding through everything
Happy or sad
Good or bad
Together is how were meant to be
I like the way you say my name,
The way you never want to bring me pain
And those days we kiss in the rain
The small things like the smile you try to hide
And all the secrets you confide
Ill wish tonight
That youll stay by my side

Take Every Chance
No second chances
Refuse to give you any second glances
You walked out on us
And left me behindAnother door has closed in my face
But I just stand up once again
And face the world with a smile
Because I know I can do better
Than what you gave me
Find another who loves me for who I am
Every day is a fight
But for once Ive seen the light
And I know that this life is my fight
To prove myself
To me and no one else
Push my mind, body and soul to its limits
So that I know Ive done all I can
Dont want to blink
In case I miss anything
Only got one chance at this l ife
No need to keep believing the lies
Just got to realise the love is in my eyes
For this worldTake every chance
Dont let it slip passed

A part of you is a part of me
And will always be
But now were through
Well walk our separate waysIt may take days
But in time youll see
The best is yet to come
I hope you understand
All is said and done
Walk with your held high
Because both of us know
How hard it is to say goodbye
With all the memories
And special places
In one of those new faces
You will find love
Another heart to treasure

For all of time
Please guide me through
As I never want to be without you

The Minority
People stop and stare
Theyre the ones who need a sign saying beware
When they know your name
Theyll start following your gameYour names in lights
Soon people are in your face
This is when you need some headspace
Theyll start stabbing you in the back
Their words on the attack
All Im trying to say is
Keep your head
Watch your back
Focus on the track,
Laid out in front of you
Forget about the small few
They are the minority

A tear running down your face

All you need is a sense of security

The Step I Have To Take
How many chances before you call it a day?
How many lies have I got to hear before I get my say?
Im hearing so much nonsense
Boy dont you have a conscienceCant you see what youre doing to me?
A romantic gesture, on bended knee
That isnt going to help you now
I cant even scream about that other cow
Youve reduced me to petty name calling
I wish Id known when you had me falling
That I wouldnt be your only
The last to call when you got lonely
I wont be running back
I refuse to let the tears leave tracks
Im turning my back on you
And everything you say you will do
Your words mean nothing
Im just going to concentrate on living
This is the step I have to take
Even if it means my heart will break

The Truth
You want things to be right
We talk all night
But deep inside
I know we cant hide
The truth that we want to denyLike two pieces of a puzzle that just wont fit
No matter how hard we try
We just cant lie
It always ends the same way
What we think is right
They know is wrong
We cant hide the fact we want to deny

Save me from falling
I dont want my heart to be calling,
After you
Remember the times you criedAccusing me of things, saying I had lied
But it wasnt me, was it
This should be the end of us shouldnt it?
Cursing my name
But its you with the unfaithful fame
Dont be throwing accusations
Especially when weve had too many confrontations
Im ready to leave
Because I just cant believe
That you have strayed
While my heart has stayed
Dont take me for a mug
As on our love I have pulled the plug

Time To Come Clean
The situations getting old
People are talking, things are being told
I know I should have walked away
But it was my heart that strayedPlayed games with my mind
It was only his love that I could find
Youd decided to head on home
But it was to another Id decided to roam
One more dance
Captivated by his glance
I know Ive got to come clean
Especially as so many have seen
Him and me
This situation isnt right
I cant take it, I dont want to fight
But I guess then thats just fate
When love turns to hate

The time I should have realized
The friendship we had was,
Too good to be true.

Never forgotten

The friendship we had was
Too good to be true

Well be sat at the dinner table
Trying to hold a conversation

Unfaithful lies and crazy accusations are the foundationsWont be long until the first plate smashes to the floor

Cant change it, no thats a fact

Were Becoming To Be
I know Im not perfect
But I do my best to get as close as I can
You say I dont need to change
I see the doubt of you own words in your eyesOur relationship used to be fine
I knew one hundred percent you were mine
But lately people made me question how we feel
And if our love is real
To them we cant be
Anything more than average
But I thought we were perfect
And nothing less
It was only you I wanted to impress
People started talking
Then my mind started walking
Going round and round
Thinking about
All the little things you said
The looks you give the other girls
The distance youre putting between you and me
Maybe its just me
Or what theyre saying were becoming to be
Tell me theyre wrong
And its in my heart you belongSay things will always be perfect
Between you and me
Say theres no need to question it
Because our hearts are a perfect fit
It all I want to hear from your lips
A comfortable silence
A little reassurance from you
Once in a while

Louts and layabouts

Times have changed

You want us to change
But we cant
Its how you make us today
We need opportunities
Some sense of responsibilities
We are the youth of today
But we cant repay to the communities
Youve taken everything awayThen leave us with the blame
Give us a break,

We promised to be together
Until the stars fall from the sky
By my side forever
Till the day you die
The promise you broke when you strayed
Never would have I experienced such pain
To god I have prayed
That in my heart it wont ever rain
Night after night I lay awake and cry
On the phone I hear you apologise
Theres not a way for you to make it right
I just want to walk away into the night

When You Left
One day you was here
Sharing your stories
I can remember every word so clear
You had so much still to give
I wish you was still here
One day you was gone
Unable to return
Where ever you are I know you will belong
I wish it wasnt your turn
Now I will have to be strong
When you left us
We had to learn to cope
But we will never forget the braveness you showed
When this happened we lost all hope
After all you went through you glowed
Now I look up and realize
That you are looking down on me
And on everyone that you reached
Your time here was special
To everyone in so many different ways

Unable to take them in
Wishing there was something you could do
Trying to hide all emotion
Pushing away those who really care
Trying to understand why
Why does this have to happen now?
Why is it you that has to be the one
Everything was going so right
The world is turned upside down
Nothing seems to have a bright light
All I want is for the world to stop
Just for a day
So we can find a reason
A reason why.

All because of someones terrible crime
They might be behind bars doing time

Worry
The tear running down your face
Followed by another and another
Lost without a trace
Could there still be a chance of return?
Your silence is like a cruel beatingThe worry I feel is indescribable
One day I hope you will realize
And that you will understand the pain I feel
The blood running down your hand
Drip after drip
This isnt the escape you wanted
But somehow it is making things clearer
Hiding your fear
A new person standing before me
Why cant it be simple?
Why is it this way?Why cant I help?

Take a bow and look around
See whats staring back at you
A haze of lies and dishonesty
Turn around and look in the mirrorSee the reflection

Look me in the eyes and say why

Why lie to me like this
Maybe you saw the bliss
And knew what you would miss
Is everything really worth all of this?

Never could our love result in a full blown fight
The night is calm
Thats how I know in your arms Im safe from all harm
As I close my eyes to dream
Im reminded of your love for me
The night is turning to day
Yet I still wish it would stay
Your lips greet my neck without regret
If I was glad of anything its that we met
