To be alone
Or to be together,
To sit low
Or stand high.
These choices you make
They shape you
They make you
They are you.
To work hard
And pass
Or to slide by
And probably not last.
This one choice could
Change your life
Break you
Or make you.
To be a sore person
Or to try your hardest
To think or to act
To be modest.
This is what it takes
To live a life
When everyone tries
To bring you down.
Everyday it makes you stronger
As you sit there and wait
For it to finally be over.
It takes courage to be someone.
It takes love to make someone.
It takes soul to make it last.
And it takes all of you to make it last.
I know what it's like
To be all you've got.
I know what it's like
To have nothing to look forward to.
I know what it's like
To have everything crash down.
I know what it's like
To have a big break down.
But I also know what it's like
To be amazed by one action
Or to just know what one's thinking
Just by a look.
To go from negative to positive
With just one word
And to bring friends back together
And make it last a lifetime.
It's when you finally realize
That everything you've ever worked for
And all of the answers you've collected
Are all nothing but lies and bull shit.
It's when you finally realize that
Everything you've ever set your mind to
Only led you to one thing
And all the questions didn't mean anything.
It's when you see what you're doing
And what impact you've had on everyone else.
Or how long it took you to get to
Where you are today. Who you are.
It's everything plus the past
You know you can never let go of
It's everything plus
The things you did and how hard you worked.
And when you're falling in that hole,
I'll be there to catch
His touch, she can't resist
The way he pulls her in
So close but doesn't let go
And those eyes
Made of gold
The way he watches her, so..
A thin smile placed
On his perfect lips
You're just dieing to kiss
The way he always knows
What to say
And how to say it.
Genuine.
Deep.
Passionate.
Don't look any further, doll,
You've got him right there
A hesitant smile is placed on her lips
She doesn't know if she should
Follow her mind of her heart.
Where she should go,
Where she should start.
A little girl down inside
Something else on top.
She's held it in for a long while
And now he made her stop.
There is a word to describ
She lay helpless as I watched
Her mind raced as I came
Her speech impaired
Unable.
Broken.
She looked up as I did round.
She smiled to me when I came down.
Her eyes shook with worry.
Unable.
Broken.
I needed to help her.
I felt it alone.
I needed to be there
But I wasn't home.
He needed to see her
To know she was alright
He needed to be with her
To feel her touch that night.
He loved her so
And she loved him back
Their worlds collide
And along they crashed.
Nothing worked
Because something always happened
Nothing happened because something worked.
In the end
They rest together
But still sometimes
I hear her v
