Beautiful Words

[palavramaisbela]

Home Wrecked

I’m gonna lock my heart

Inside a wooden box

And light it up with matches

Cause the only pain I seem to bear

Is self inflicted-

Not being wanted by you is

A shame

I carry my conflictions

Like small paper cuts in my skin,

Invisible but stinging to the touch

You sing to me while driving

And you dance behind closed doors,

You smile at me so sadly,

And your eyes they stare so long

Desire is your best friend

When it comes to my small body-

And your hands are wild explorers

That are begging to come home,

Tonight I’ll wrap my arms around you,

I’ll whisper on your skin-

And hope your heart absorbs these words of mine

That make me bleed within

Your legs - with mine - are fully tangled,

And forever they might be,

Since the day we shared our bodies

In between your mangled sheets

I’ll kiss you like I love you

Even though I never can,

Cause the day I do I might lose life

Within

But I’ll cherish you throughout me,

Keep you wrapped up in my mind

Cause the sweetest burden sits as hard

As “almost” does each time

Give me all of you

Forever

That would make me feel so sweet,

Or let me down quite gently

So I die while we both sleep.

Mindless

There’s an intensity with every glance

Not even directed my way

But I watch, breath caught in my lungs

Waiting for your eyes to match my gaze.

I feel a fool

Everytime you make an entrance

I’m struck dumb- toungue tied

Pitter patter heart- skin tingling- flushed face,

Damn.

Glancing at you for one second and I’m there,

Making my way down memory lane

Every cheeky thing I’ve read, on my mind

And I’m not sure I’m guilty.

I’m rewarded with- one, two, three,

Seconds of our eyes meeting

And I’ve got this feeling, a little thrill,

Convincing myself you feel it too.

Slow Dance

I woke up with my chest tight,

My heart pounds aslmost as

Trying to murder me-

It aches-

My whole body aches,

I feel my stomach flipping

I attempt to keep it-

All together-

But I know this feeling uncontained

The anxiousness that fills me-

All my thoughts consume-

The sanity,

It slowly drags me back to

The beginning of a sad slow song-

Dancing at the center of

My failure.

Little Bird

The sun is setting now. The sky above me fades from a soft Caribbean sea to the blush of a fair skinned girl. The trees on the horizon slow dance with the clouds. There's a flock of birds that fly back and forth. The world has it's own mind tonight. For once, amidst all the worries that surround me, I am freed.

Decisions

I keep thinking maybe it’d be better if I walk away

Right when I’ve decided I should really stay

The night’s getting colder,

We’re both growing older,

But all of our emotions stay the same.

They tell us it’s time to rewrite our fairy tales

So none of what we dream remains a hope un-sailed

Our eyes start to glimmer,

Reflecting the shimmer-

Of everything within that we aspire to be.

Somewhere in between we start to realize

All along we’re something that we both despise

The perfect rendition,

A troubled condition,

Two people that never knew love.

[palavramaisbela]

One

I wait for you forever,

Like forever waits for me.

With a smile on its’ face-

And a dimple on its’ cheek.

‘Cause the more we think of nothings,

The more nothings we become.

But here in our small forever,

We become nothing-

But one.

[palavramaisbela]

Sleepless

I look at you like there’s some hope,

A hope that everything is fine

Yet deep down I’m confronted with

The things my heart desires.

I wait like all the broken clocks,

Timeless and eternal.

But I know, that deep down,

There was no hope for us to at all.

[palavramaisbela]

Drifting

I could say a thousand words,

But they would never compare

To the tossing within me that I feel

When you're there.

I could write you a song,

But the lyrics won't do justice

To the symphony that fills me when I see you

Don't you trust this?

I could be beside you always,

But then I would never know

What sweet despair it is to miss you

With desires that only grow.

I could express all of these feelings,

But your listening is defeaned

By the grand sorrows in your life

And slowly you have deadened.
