Some Sort of Love Song

Submitted by Gina I. on Tue, 10/01/2013 - 23:45

You make me happy enough to sing;
You make me laugh 'til I can't breathe;
You make me fight; I'll never die;
Not with you by my side.

Your smile lights my world,
Gives me hope for another turn;
And your voice, it strengthens me,
Through a glorious melody.
You eyes, I see in them,
That to you I'm a priceless gem...
And I love you, my friend, I love you...
Never let our friendship end.

1. Freckles
you have a lot of freckles
i had never been close enough to notice
they all kind of join together
i like them

2. Oops
i thought i was over you
seriously, this time
but she said you were cute
and i wanted to claw her eyes out
oops
here we go again

3. Well Okay
letting go
is harder
than i thought

4. Oh Well
i can miss you
with all my might
but you won’t
miss me back
it’s okay
no big deal
i’ll keep missing you anyway

Maybe Eternity

1. Eternity
If I’m to live forever
I should pray that you will, too
Because, dear God, I wouldn’t want to live
Without, my darling, you

2. It Was a Bad Day
Maybe all these big girl dreams aren’t for me after all
Maybe I wasn’t born to go to college and get married
Maybe I wasn’t made for the usual course
Maybe I was born with wild eyes
Maybe I was born for the road.

Inward Chaos

1. Inward Chaos
You make me a quiet kind of crazy
Send me into internal turmoil
I don’t think you know
But if you do, you’re good at hiding it

2. Head Over Heels
I’m enraptured by every part of you
They say eyes are a reflection of a person’s soul
If that’s the case, yours is beautiful
I’ve never met someone like you
I don’t think I will again.

On the Horizon

Submitted by E on Sun, 08/18/2013 - 23:17

1. Summer Wine
My dreams still taste like summer and wine
Vivid flashes of sunsets and freedom
I looked out into the horizon and remembered
The words you whispered in my ear too many years ago
And I smiled.

2. On the Horizon
Vivid wild taste of freedom
Open my eyes to a never ending horizon
If this is what the future looks like
I can’t get there fast enough

3. Bliss
You make me forget
Who I am
And who I want to be
I’m someone else entirely
I think I might like it

It's a Bittersweet Thing

1. When He’s Happy
The kind of smile you want to keep around
Crinkling eyes invite you in
Envelope you in understanding
Silent laughter, it makes the room glow

2. Too Much
You look so tired
Why can’t you just sleep
Tell them to figure it out
You don’t have to hold their hand
Go, darling, take a rest
It’s going to be okay.

you are the bird in my hand

Submitted by Anna on Mon, 08/05/2013 - 17:08

you are the bird in my hand
our friendship is living and fragile
I can feel its heart beat fast on the vein in my palm

you are worth two in the bush
we are not entwined like undergrowth
two is the number of unattainable birds and lovers

nothing makes a bird sing like flying
nothing makes me write like falling in love

flaws for me, flaws for you
a bird in the hand cannot fly
you do not even like poetry

Once in Our Glass Jungle

1. The Hunger
I was starving when you found me
Maybe that’s why I ate with such ferocity
Lapped you up with my eyes
Savored every bite with my heart
You let me in for a while
Then you made me spit you out
You knew it wasn’t right
And, in my hungry little soul
I knew that you knew best

You, Me, And Our Song

Submitted by Gina I. on Mon, 07/22/2013 - 15:43

I wake up to the same old thing,
Hoping that maybe today's the day,
That I really start to live.
See, my heart's been broken;
It's been snapped in two.
And I was afraid to love,
Until I saw you...

We're dancing together,
And I know, that
This is where I belong.
We could go on forever,
Just you, me, and the song...
