Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Due to a rather avid response by my friend Aphiliam, I have chosen to dedicate this page within my journal to her poems. --

*****

My heart lies with you,
Do with it what you will,
My heart lies with you,
You can make it go so still.

My heart lies with you,
Not wood, metal, nor stone,
My heart lies with you,
But you always leave me alone.

***

There is no one to save me,
I know you tried your best,
There is no one to save me,
So go and save the rest.

***

My guardian angel, he holds me near,
When I'm with him, I have nothing to fear,
My guardian angel, he holds me tight,
But when he lets go,
I weep all night.

***

My knight in shining armour,
A light from the sky,
He loves me,
But I don't know why.

***

No one standing next to me,
No one to hold my hand,
No one who can set me free,
No one to understand.

***

Once upon a time,
In some distant land,
There was a young woman,
And with her was a man.

So in love were they,
That never did they see,
In the end all there was,
Was them, you and me.

***

Once I hear you laugh,
And I knew it was for me,
Once I saw you mad,
So I went and let you be.

Once I heard you cry,
So I had to hold your hand,
But you pushed me away,
I guess I don't understand.

Once I felt your touch,
But it wasn't what it seemed,
And then I came awake,
And saw it was just a dream.

***

I wished upon a shooting star,
I used my birthday cake,
I prayed for a miracle,
At Christmas, for my sake.

I crossed my fingers,
I pleaded to God,
To make my dreams come true,
But in the end, all I did,
Was waste my wishes on you.

***

In the end, the best always wins.
So here's a toast, to your good luck.

***

She's your angel,
Though she doesn't know,
You're my angel,
But I'm letting you go.

***

Fashionably late, for a date with time,
Time can't be replaced, not yours, not mine.
Once it's lost, it's gone for good,
Gone forever, not as it should.

You move on, you soon forget,
The time you lost, the people you met.
What if that time, had been saved?
Would your lifes road, have been re-paved?

Would the places you went, be changed for the worse?
And the people you met, would they now be cursed?
The questions are endless, the answers unknown,
But the seeds of doubt, have already been sown.

More time passes, as you question your time,
How much more is left? Asks the clock with a chime.
When will you leave, forced to go?
Is this something, you'll ever know?

Time isn't a thing, that should go to waste,
Life isn't something, to go forth with haste.
My clock is ticking, but I know what to do,
Now is my chance, to let go of you.

To whom it concerns,
I'm filled with dread,
The door is wide open,
The victim is dead.

To whom it concerns,
I clutch at my chest,
The fight is now over,
It's clear who is best.

To whom it concerns,
Confidence can be fake,
No small amount of comfort,
Consoles this mistake.

To whom it concerns,
It's not what it seems,
Someone smashed in your head,
And ripped out all your dreams.

To whom it concerns,
You've slit open your wrists,
Torn out your ribcage,
Cut away all the cysts.

To whom it concerns,
I'll stick glass in your eyes,
Smashed from a mirror,
Of the image I despise.

To whom it concerns,
'Luck' is a myth,
The lady is dead,
Shoved off of a cliff.

To whom it concerns,
All the roses are dead,
Frozen in time,
Like thoughts in your head.

To whom it concerns,
This is quite long enough,
But forget about me,
Lonliness makes you tough.
