He told her that
He loved her
And he promised
He'd never hurt her again
He pleaded for forgiveness
She was reluctant to give in
But finally she caved
And once again she let him in
Only to again be hurt
Her heart was crushed once again

-

I know that everyone makes mistakes
And I believe in second chances
At times Ive given too many
But very few do I let in
So I dont easily just let go
But dont get it twisted
And think ill never leave
Because I can go from
Loving someone every day
Whether as lovers or just as friends
To feeling not the slightest care
When someone mentions their name

LIFE
Its so often taken for granted
And never long enough
The end is always unexpected
And never prepared for
Whether its yours
Or someone else's that you love
We're only given one...
So live each day as if its your last
And take lots of chances
Some things are worth the risks
So be sure to seize the moment
To let others know how you feel
Say those words so often left unsaid
Because one filled with missed opportunities
And lots of "what ifs"
Is truely a life thats been wasted
And sadly comes to its end
Full of so many regrets...

-

Hearts get broken
But then get mended
Just as fast
But let someones
Trust get broken
And you could spend
A lifetime trying
To get it back...

-

Everyone has their own story
Each our own paths
That weve chosen
Which have left each of us
Scarred and broken
We carry on all lost
In a world cold and dark
Endlessly searching
For the one that
Brings their world to light
That one soul that once the two combine
The rest of the world
Drifts away and is slowly
Left behind...

-

Some people dont realize
That even the strongest
Of hearts breaks
Jus because they dont show it
Doesnt mean they dont hurt
Truth be told its those people
In your life that you never see cry
But are always there to wipe your tears
And that somehow find the words
To say exactly what you need to hear
And comfort you when youre
At your darkest place helping
Bring back your smile
Its those people that feel everything
So much more intensely but for you
They still wear a smile
Staying strong for you
They put their own feelings aside
They have no one to lean on
No one to wipe their tears
Only the emptiness inside them
That fills with their unshed tears

-

Its crazy how life is
No matter how much
You think you have figured out
Or how prepared for the future
You think you might be
Life throws in a little curve ball
A little reminder of something
We so often forget
Life is short; embrace it; enjoy it
Slow down and take your time
Cherish the things you can not hold
Its those heartfelt memories
That you cant forget
The good and the bad
In the end thats what matters most
Just thought id remind you all
Because most of us sometimes
FORGET...

-

Feeling herself fading
Her inner demons
Fighting to gain control
Should she finally
Give up and quit trying
Letting all her demons win
How long would it take
Someone to notice
Its no longer her
That choses the words
She speaks
Her demons have
Won the battle
Will someone find her
In time to save her
Before she also loses
Her inner war

-

Hiding how she feels
Wearing smiles to
Conceal the pain
Getting her heartbroken
Just another daily dose
From those she once
Believed were her friends
But steadily shes proven right
One's true enemies arent those
Weilding a blade in the
Shadows of the night
But most often are those
That have laughed and cried with you
All the while plotting against you
Every day greeting you with a smile

-

Treat me like a game
And ill show you how
Its played...
