He Won't Be There

2010-08-12T08:21:00.000-07:00

**Written for my all-time role model... May you now rest in peace, Pop**
He won’t be there,
On the best days of her life.

He won’t be there,
To watch her grow up.

He won’t be there,
To see her before her senior prom.
He won’t be there,
To see her prince get down on his knee.

He won’t be there,
To see her walk down the aisle,
All dressed in white.

She's realized
That he won’t be there,
To hold his newborn grandson.

He won’t be there,
To watch him grow up;
And turn into a gentle-man.

He won’t be there,
To help her when she’s sick.

And he won’t be there,
To be with them forever and always.
He won’t be there...

Kiss & Tell

2010-08-12T08:07:00.000-07:00

I won't kiss & tell
If you won't, she says.
So wrap her up
And spin her 'round
Won't you come
And lie down next to her
Stay awhile
All wrapped up in these sheets
Can't you just feel it
This heat, this temperature
It's rising up between you & I

She's living in the here
And now
Without a care
About tomorrow
All this time
And she still don't know
What exactly it is you want from her.

You say you love me
I don't believe you
And yet I'm still standing here
So baby wrap me up
And spin me 'round

He says
I'll spin you 'round & round
And round & round

'Cause I need you
Like I need this rain that's pourin' down

He says
I need you like this rain that I'm drownin' in
I been drownin' in for so long I can't get out

You're love is a rose for a bruise,
A daisy for a scar.
But I can't leave you either way
I just need you here with me

So darling please
I'm begging you please
You know I'll do
Whatever you want me to do
Just don't leave me alone

You say you love me
I don't believe you
And yet I'm still standing here
So baby wrap me up
And spin me 'round

He says
I'll spin you 'round & round
And round & round

Cause I need you
Like I need this rain that's pourin' down

He says
I need you like this rain that I'm drownin' in
I been drownin' in for so long I can't get out

If I Fall

2009-09-25T13:48:00.001-07:00

**Dedicated to the love of my life (whoever you are) ;) **

This road I've traveled on,
Hasn't been all that easy,
And there's always something that's going wrong.
But ever since I met you
This life that I'm living
Has been so much more easier
So baby now I'm running to you.
Oh, I'm running to you.

Oh, I may loose my balance,
Every now and then
But if I fall
I know I'll land safely
In your arms.
'Cause baby you're just like
My safety net
So I run to you.

If I ever lose you
I would lose everything that I have
Because I'm giving it all to you
It's a leap of faith,
This I know
But I trust you more than anyone else
So baby now I come
Running to you.
Oh, I come running to you.

Oh, I may loose my balance,
Every now and then
But if I fall
I know I'll land safely
In your arms.
'Cause baby you're just like
My safety net
So I run to you.

Is It Love? Or Is It Fancy Feast?

2009-05-28T14:48:00.000-07:00

To love or not to love.
That,
Dear friends,
Is the question.

How do I know what love is?
Do I even want to know?
I'm so afraid of being hurt
Like I was before.

There were so many nights...
So many endless nights.
When I felt like I had
All of the tears and the hurt of the world
Resting on my shoulders.

There were so many nights,
When I would lie in bed,
Staring at the ceiling fan spinning 'round.
The tears filling my eyes
Then finally streaming down my face.
And the silent sobbing would begin.
I don't know...
I just don't know anymore.
I just want to feel free
But inside,
I'm so afraid.

I can't help but wonder
"Would I be happier if I had someone?
Someone to call my own?
Someone to call my love?
Someone to say
'I love you' to,
Without being afraid
That they won't be there again tomorrow
To say 'I love you', and mean it?"

So many fears
So many hurts
So many lies
So many tears
So many wonders
So many dreams
So many words
Yet none make any sense

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Some times I wonder,
What is it like?
That is, to REALLY be in love?
There was a time when I thought I knew,
But in the end I was wrong.
And boy, oh boy,
Was I wrong.

... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

I wonder,
Does he like me too?
I feel like such a child,
Talking this way,
Though I know I'm not.

So many fears
So many hurts
So many lies
So many tears
So many wonders
So many dreams
So many words
Yet none make any sense

I still don't know
If he knows
What I know.

I've spent hours,
So many
Seemingly endless hours,
Talking to him
About love,
About the hurt.
About the pain.
About the fears.
About E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Now yet another day
Has come and gone,
A new sun is rising in the distance,
And I still don't know
If he knows
What I know.

Because I've led him to believe
That I'm talking about someone else.
But then again,
Maybe he does know,
Perhaps he has figured it out already,
And he's just playing the cards.
Waiting for the perfect moment.

And now I don't even know
If I want him to know.
Because it seems to me
Like he's still in love with her.
He says he's not,
But honey,
Believe me when I say it:
Actions speak so much louder
Than words could ever fathom...

There are still
So many fears.
So many hurts.
So many lies.
So many tears.
So many wonders.
So many dreams.
So many words,

And yet none of these
Make any sense
In any way,
Shape,
Or form,
No matter how hard I try
To get them straight in my head.

He's given me advice
On what to do,
Like he always does.
But the question is not
Whether I should follow it or not,
But would he be giving me that same advice
If he knew that it's HIM
That I'm so in love with?
(...Or am I?)

I'm still left wondering
If he knows
What I know

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

I'm so afraid
To take the chance,
To take that leap of faith.
To follow my own advice,
For once in my life.
I feel so hypocritical.

Because really,
I don't want to ruin our friendship.
If we date,
And then later decide
To simply remain as friends,
Will it be awkward at times?
Will we still go to each other for advice?
Or will it all be different?

So what could this feeling be?!
Is it love?
Or is it fancy feast?
Or is it a dream?
Or a mere fantasy?

There are so many questions
...Please...
...Please...
Someone answer them...
Someone please,
Be completely honest with me.
...Someone please tell me...

I. Simply. Want. To. Know. The. Truth.

Footprints In The Snow

2009-05-14T12:00:00.000-07:00

It's cold outside,
But baby it's warm in here.

The fire's burning bright,
Keeping us warm throughout the night.

I sit here now,
And through the frosted window panes
I see the snow,
Falling...falling...falling...
From the sky up above.
So soft and gentle,
Like the clouds are shedding.

It's getting colder now,
And they're sayin' more snow's a'comin'.

So when it comes we'll grab our boots
And run outside.

Dancing...dancing...dancing...
In the snow that's falling
From the sky up above.

Footprints across the snow...
The freshly laiden snow,
Like a soft white powder.

You and I,
We're walkin' in a winter wonder land. =)

She... (Part II)

2009-05-14T11:32:00.000-07:00

She feels as though
At times,
No one believes her.

As if
No one really listens to her.

All she has ever wanted,
Is to have someone

A friend
Who believes
Every word she says.

To have a friend
Who can take just one look in her eyes,
And know
That something is wrong.

To have a friend,
Whom she knows
She can depend on.

To have a place she can run to,
When things at home go awry.
A "safe-haven",
Where she knows
She is more than welcome...

A place,
Where she is loved by friends.

So as she runs tonight,
Feeling the wind
Blowing her curly hair out behind her
She's running to get away from it all
She's running...running...
...SHE IS FREE...
(to be continued)

She...

2009-05-05T07:34:00.000-07:00

***This is written for a very good friend of mine... =) There is a sequel soon to come!***

She's a quiet soul,
But full of dreams and ambitions.

She's strong-willed,
Her head is in the game.

She knows right from wrong,
And strives to stay
On the straight and narrow.

Her trust has been broken
One too many times.

At times she feels so alone
In this big 'ole world;
Haunted by those cruel
And terrifying memories of him.

She's longing to feel wanted,
Longing to feel loved.
She wants to feel that someone would die
If she were to die.

She loves her family,
But she needs someone sometimes
To pay attention to her,
And only her.

And as she runs tonight,
Feeling the wind
Blowing her curly hair out behind her
She's running
To get away from it all.
She is running...running...
...SHE'S FREE...

Us (A Wedding Song)

2009-03-01T11:40:00.004-08:00

It started back in Kindergarten
Her mum would drop her off at the door
Then he would slip his little hand into hers
They'd walk down that hall way
It seemed so long
But they were just so little
They'd wait an eternity for recess to come
An' when it finally did
They'd head out that door.
Still holding each other's hands,
Like little lovers do.
And now she's singin':

Whenever you'd look,
At me.
Whenever you'd take,
My hand
It'd make me feel,
So good.
Whenever you'd whisper,
In my ear.
An' whenever you'd stop,
To dance with me.
Oh, yeah you would make me feel,
Beautiful.
So beautiful.

Now they're both,
Sixteen years old.
And he still waits for her by the door.
They're still in love,
So fearlessly in love.
They walk up and down Main Street
Still holding each other's hands,
Like little lovers do.
An' she's singin':

Whenever you'd look,
At me.
Whenever you'd take,
My hand
It'd make me feel,
So good.
Whenever you'd whisper,
In my ear.
An' whenever you'd stop,
To dance with me.
Oh, yeah you would make me feel,
Beautiful.
So beautiful.

Today was the day
They stood up there and said "I do"
They're twenty-two,
Feelin' like they're on top of the world.
Can't wait to settle down
And start a little family.
They're so in love,
As they walk around town.
Still holdin' each other's hands,
Like lovers do.
An' she's singin':

Whenever you'd look,
At me.
Whenever you'd take,
My hand
It'd make me feel,
So good.
Whenever you'd whisper,
In my ear.
An' whenever you'd stop,
To dance with me.
Oh, yeah you would make me feel,
Beautiful.
So beautiful.

We're both eighty-five
You said we'd be together forever
And baby we still are.
We may be old,
Have a few wrinkles here and there.
We may be in wheel chairs,
But baby we still hobble down that hallway in the nursing home
Still holding each other's hand,
Like lovers do...

Whenever you'd look,
At me.
Whenever you'd take,
My hand
It'd make me feel,
So good.
Whenever you'd whisper,
In my ear.
An' whenever you'd stop,
To dance with me.
Oh, yeah you would make me feel,
Beautiful.
So beautiful.

Forget Me Not

2009-03-01T11:40:00.003-08:00

It was a picture perfect moment,
Just sittin' in her backyard.
Everybody said that they wouldn't last.
Told her to guard her little heart,
To watch for those tell-tale signs

But she didn't listen
Didn't watch for those signs
She gave him her heart
But he just took it and ran away

He told her to act
As if he never entered her life
To forget the first time he called
To forget the first time he met her parents
Forget dodging the rain on their first date
Forget she ever met him at all

But how can she forget you baby?
After all, you're the one who said;
If I were dying today
You'd be there by my side.
Well I guess since I sure ain't dyin'
You couldn't care less about me

So I should've listened,
Should've watched for those signs
But I gave you my heart
And you just took it and ran away.

Baby I don't know if I can forget you
Because the only memories of me and you
Are the ones that can't be erased
But that's okay
Because I'm so over you
So burn baby burn
Cuz I ain't dyin' yet...
No, not yet!!

It's All Because Of Him

2009-03-01T11:40:00.001-08:00

She gave him her heart,
Her mind and her soul
She gave him her all.
Now everything she ever had is gone,
Gone for good.
And it's all because of him.

It's all because of him,
That every night she cries,
Lying there on the bedroom floor.
Her iPod on high,
Blocking out her world.
Her world that has been shattered,
Only to be filled again with painful hatred
And his bitter lies.
And it's all because of him.

She wants to cry,
Until the tears just won't fall anymore.
But she's afraid,
Afraid of what people might think.
She asks herself why?
How could she let it be
All because of him?

It's all because of him,
That every night she cries,
Lying there on the bedroom floor.
Her iPod on high,
Blocking out her world.
Her world that has been shattered,
Only to be filled again with painful hatred
And his bitter lies.
And it's all because of him.

She asks herself why?
How could she have let this happen?
People tell her not to beat herself up;
That it's not her fault.
But she can't stop herself now.
She thinks she's just too far gone,
And it's all because of him.

So now,
She's lying there on the bedroom floor
Her iPod on high
The cell phone keeps on ringing
Someone keeps calling
But she's not listening
Because she's blocking out her world
And it's all because of him

It's all because of him
That every night she cries
Lying there on the bedroom floor
Her iPod on high
Blocking out her world.
Her world that has been shattered and broken
Only to be filled up again with his hatred
And bitter lies
It's all because of him.

It Took You

2009-03-01T11:38:00.002-08:00

INTRO:
(Spoken): Patience and time do more than strength or passion. Patience is the support of weakness, impatience is the ruin of strength. However, throughout it all, LOVE never fails.

It took you,
To make a miracle happen.
Even though.
It may have seemed like forever.

To make me see,
And to make me know,
That dreams,
Really can come true.

It may have taken forever,
But it took you.
And a miracle,
To show me the light,
Of love.

It took someone like you,
To make a miracle happen.
Even though,
It may have taken forever.

To make me wake,
And start each day anew.
I'm a new girl,
Full of love.

It may have taken forever,
But it took you.
And a miracle,
To show me the light,
Of love.

Everyday that I am alive,
You make me awake.
I'm always glad to see it come.
And you make me count my blessings,
They're always starting with you!
Now,

Even though it took forever,
You showed me a miracle.
Yeah, you stayed with me until the end.
And you showed me the light.

It may have taken forever,
But it took you.
And a miracle,
To show me, oh-oh-oh

Oh, it may have taken forever,
But it took you.
And a miracle,
To show me the light...
Of your love.

OUTRO (Spoken):
"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth, bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

This Heart

2009-03-01T11:38:00.001-08:00

This heart of mine
Has been beaten down
And bruised to its core
Their disapproving glares are
Goin’ deeper and deeper by the minute
Too many years have gone by
Each day is the same
Each harsh comment more intruding than the last

But now you can:
Say what you want,
Stare all you want,
Shun me if you want.
It’s a free country.
I don’t understand it,
I can’t justify it,
But I ain’t gonna let it
Hurt me no more.

Their glances and whispering,
Used to be like wounds,
Penetrating deep beneath my skin.
I’m gonna have those scars
From now until eternity,
But they’re not gonna show
I’ve let too many years go by
Each day was the same
Each harsh comment more intruding than the last

If you don’t like me
For anything other than
Who I really am inside
Then keep your mouth shut
And mind your own business.
‘Cuz with me
What you see is what you get
And I ain’t gonna change
‘Juz cuz you don’t like me.

You Saw Me

2009-03-01T11:37:00.002-08:00

She never thought she'd graduate,
A single mother-to-be.
As she sits at home,
On cold, dark night,
It hits her like a rock.
That she was never alone!
And she cries out into the lonely night:

You,
You see me sinking.
You see me screaming, shrieking for Your help.
And You,
Won't You come to my side,
In less than an instant.
So thank You Jesus,
For coming to my side.

Now he's a mere seventeen,
And he is scared half to death.
As he sits alone in the locker room.
Oh, it was only,
Half an hour ago,
That he told her she's now on her own.
He lifts up his head,
To see coach standing there.
And he says:

Son God,
He sees you sinking.
He sees you screaming, shrieking for His help.
And He,
He will be by your side,
In less than an instant.
So thank Him now son,
For coming to your side.

[Instrumental]

Today we stood
At the edge of the ocean.
Watching the waves barge in,
Then fade out again.
Pulling and sucking us further and further away from You.
Then we turned back around,
And we saw You.

You,
You saw us sinking.
You saw us screaming, shrieking for Your help.
And You,
You were right by our sides,
In less than an instant.
So we thank You now, Lord,
For coming to our sides.
Oh we thank You now, Lord,
For coming to our sides.

Bus Ride, Fun Times

2009-03-01T11:37:00.001-08:00

**I wrote this song July '08, after coming home from a trip to Ocean City, NJ with my Youth Group. THe attached picture is an actual picture of us in one of the busses =)

A.C. Expressway
To Garden State Parkway.
Bus ride,
Fun times,
Headed for O.C.

Right about ten time
We're hittin' that ocean.
Runnin’ in,
Runnin’ out,
Freezing our butts off.

Right now,
We're thinking that we're so cool.
Struttin' our stuff walking down that boardwalk.
In five years,
We'll look back and say,
"Holy crud! That was me?!"
But for now,
Let's just be us!!

Walking down boardwalk,
Feeding dumb seagulls,
Crust up,
'Gull down,
Quick run like heck.

Buried you in sand,
Girls came over.
Hand up,
Grabbed foot,
Girls running away.

And right now,
We're thinking that we're so cool.
Struttin' our stuff walking down that boardwalk.
In five years,
We'll look back and say,
"Holy crud! That was me?!"
But for now,
Let's just be us!

Garden State Parkway,
To A.C. Expressway.
Fun times,
Bus rides,
What a shame it's over!

The Lyrics I Write (Part Duex)

2009-03-01T11:36:00.000-08:00

I wrote the song "It's All Because of Him" one day during Study Hall. It's about a girl who gave a guy her all, and now he's gone. Now she's left crying on the floor with her iPod on high. She wants to cry but is afraid to. Because the lyrics of the song are so descriptive, it's extremely hard for me to describe any more, without basically quoting the song itself!

I wrote the song "It Took You" last year (2008). I was actually looking through poems online for an Art Project, when I came upon the poem, "It Took You". It was so beautiful that I just had to turn it into a song. It's about a girl who had a "hard head", was very stubborn, always getting into trouble. And she's recognizing, acknowledging a friend for always being there no matter what. That friend showed her the Light, (Jesus Christ), and it took a miracle for that to happen.

I wrote the song "Bus Ride, Fun Times" after a day trip with my youth group to Ocean City, NJ. ...I need not say more! =)

The Lyrics I Write

2009-03-01T11:35:00.000-08:00

The lyrics I write are the soundtrack to my life. I am a people watcher...I always have been. Everyone has a story, be it good or bad. A good chunk of the lyrics that I've posted on here aren't about me. They're about various people I've met, and also various people that I've just seen passing me by.

I wrote the song "This Heart" about my life. I was home-schooled from 4th grade thru January of 7th grade. I started going to public middle school that year. I was teased relentlessly, which hurt me incredibly. I have had to harden my heart against all the hurtful words, the cruel glances/looks I still get today. It's a shame, because I know that there are probably a lot of really nice kids at my school, but because they hurt me so deeply years before, I am afraid that if I let them get near me, see my heart [so to speak], that they will hurt me again. Now that I know they are capable of hurting someone, I don't want them to hurt me again (even thought they always act so innocent and harmless).

Ya know, you always here the stories about how a guy and girl (usually teenagers) fall in love, and then one thing leads to another, and the girl gets pregnant. The guy gets scared, ditches the girl to fend for herself. And that's that. You never hear about the stories where the guy ditches the girl, but then the get back together and find that they really are in love. So that's what the song "You Saw Me" is about. It's also about how God never left either one of them through the trials, the triumphs, and the failures.

The song "Us" is about a girl and guy who fell in love in Kindergarten. It follows them through elementary school and high school. Then they get married and have kids. And all this time they're still fearlessly in love. And then in the end they're in a nursing home, and are STILL deeply in love with each other. I put in there at the end of each verse, that they still hold each others hand as they walk down the street/hallway. I used that as a symbol of never letting go, through good and bad, till death parts them.

The song "Forget Me Not" is about a girl who feel head over heels "in love" (or so she thought). Everyone told her to be careful with her heart, to not give it away so it wouldn't get broken. But she chose not to listen, to not watch for the "signs". She gave him her heart, and then he went and broke it by tell her to forget he even exists in this world. In the end, she is screaming that she is so over him. She says that his memory can't be erased, that it won't ever be erased, but she basically is telling HIM to stay out of her life forever and that she's not dying yet, but when she does, it surely will not be because of him.
