Hold me tight and close your eyes
And just pretend we're there.
In a place so far away
A place without a care.
And as the rain comes pouring down
Lets hum a lullaby,
Close our eyes and drift away
Across the starlit sky.
While we dance lets make a wish
A wish that will always last.
That you and I together make
A bucket full of laughs.
Let the bad times fade away
And let the good appear.
And make sure to let go of
All that troubled fear.
Together we can make
Such an amazing pair.
If we just look into each others eyes
And find we're already there.
In a world where no one can go
But only you and I.
Here we will know only hap
I'll never be anyone's princess;
I'll never be some damsel in distress.
You won't see me growing out my hair
Just to see if someone actually notices or cares.
I'm nobody's angel—not a "babe" or a "hun."
I'm just a small town girl looking for some fun.
Maybe you're looking for a materialistic girl
But I know she'll never truly rock your world.
I'm not looking for a knight to slay the dragon
You don't need a white horse or a pumpkin-shaped wagon.
Just give me your heart and I won't ask for more
Lets make this simple. We've all been hurt before.
You don't need to be a graceful dancer
Or some high-class steeplechaser—to win my heart
I'm sneaking through the shadows
I'm crawling through the dark
You cannot escape me.
I am after your heart.
I will pounce on you from no where
I will claim you as my own
You cannot cry out in agony
Because I've gotten you alone.
I'm the demon of your nightmares
I'm the cause of all your fears
You cannot wake up now
I've finally arrived. I'm here.
I will never leave you
You cannot escape.
You're tied down by friendship
I'm calling for a date.
We can go to the movies
Or just stay up all night gazing at the stars
Doesn't matter where we're going
As long as I'm in your arms.
I'm going to get you
I always get my way.
I'm no l
Love can be kind, but it can be cruel
It can mess with your mind
And make you feel like a fool.
It can break your heart
And make you cry.
And there will be times
You want to die.
Love can make you do some crazy things
One moment you'll find yourself
Standing out on a limb.
Losing your balance
Only to find
No one is around to catch you
As you fall from behind.
Love can be evil. Love can be wrong
Love is not always simple
But it's always strong.
How it controls you
Is a question indeed
Because there are times I feel like
I will never be free.
Love can be prison. Love can be blind
How it messes you up
And takes over your m
On the whisper of the wind, I hear
A voice that reminds me of times
When I reached out and could pull you near
A time when you once were mine.
The branches tap against the window pane
A haunting sound that makes me reach
For the blankets to cover my pain
But I know that there is no release.
A chain surrounds the heart and pulls
I gasp for air but no one knows
I failed it all; I'm going down
I'm not the type you want around.
Rain echoes against the glass
I touch the pane with my fingertips
Feeling the coldness but it won't last
Eventually I'll be reminded of your lips.
Closed my eyes but I had dreams
That all displayed one tr
If I asked you if you loved me
What would you say?
Would you turn my direction
Or would you walk away?
Would you smile at me
But not say a word?
Or would you nod your head
And say I'm your world?
If I asked you if you cared about me
What would you do?
Would you laugh at my face
Make me feel like a fool?
Or would you give me your hand
And pull me in tight
And promise not to let go
For the rest of the night?
If I asked you if you dreamt of me
While you're alone in your bed
What would you think?
What words would be said?
Would you blush and ignore
The fact that I stand
Or would you smile and nod
And completely understand?
Upon the wings of a firefly
In the sweet air of June
The rain pouring down around me
As I scream out, calling for you.
Humidity rising
Its your name Im calling
But do you answer?
Theres no reply.
And Im wondering where you are.
Upon the cloud of tomorrow
Seeking refuge in dreams
Hiding my sorrow
My face not what it seems.
Try and decipher the code
Im lying on the floor
Figure it out before
Im knocking on your door.
Im screaming out your name
Im falling to my knees
Im praying for some mercy
That you may one day come to me.
In the hot air of summer
Our arms may finally
Upon a breathless night, I call your name
Hoping you will hear and put my doubts to shame.
Wrap your arms around me and tear down my fear
All I want tonight is to have you near.
I want to feel your lips press against mine
Forget the past and lose track of time.
I want to know how much you truly care
Its time for us to take the dare.
Let the thunder roll outside the window
Let the rain continually pour down and flow.
Let us move closer to each other now
Its time for love to take one last bow.
In this world where love is rare
We must find it in our hearts to share
The true desires that we keep under lock and key
And s
Maybe if I just disappear and walk away
No one will come searching for me.
I wont have to find the words to say.
Maybe if I just dont return
The pain will go away faster then
Facing a fire and getting burned.
Maybe if I pretend like everythings okay
No one will see the cracks on my heart
That open up more each day.
Maybe if I was stronger than I really am
I could do this so effortlessly
And convince myself youre not my man.
But these are just maybes, what ifs, not stone
And maybe if I was a wise man, I would know
I cant do this on my own.
Im none of these things. Not strong nor wise
I
For Every Lonely Heart by doorfromheaven, literature
Literature
For Every Lonely Heart
Listening to the rain as it comes pouring down
Gazing into empty space, wanting you around
But I know in my soul it will never be
For every lonely heart, is another one wishing to be free.
The wind howls outside my window
The same way it blew when you said you had to go.
Do you remember that day? I do
I still look at my door and sometimes I can see you
Dont think Im crazyI know its a ghost
Just another memory to remind me of what I miss the most.
Its worse on rainy nights like this one, I have to say
I keep reaching out my arms for you to take my pain away
Listening to the rain as it comes
