she's down to the earth
am up for the moon
she put her life into it
but i wont take what i can't give
Never
If nothang keeps you from enjoying
life, you must always keep your
commitments and never hurt others
you promised we'd make it
your love, you promised you wouldn't fake it
the thought of me leaving, you said you could't take it
yet it was you who left
me in the place you promised i'd never be again
As a kid I thought the world was in my hands,
But after this disaster I had no where to land.
I took advantage of life,
But little did I know my father could easily lose his life.
I remember the day I tried to die.
The feeling of the blood flowing out of my veins no longer calmed me,
The pain from the blade no longer distracted me,
shivers down my spine
at the thought of you leavin' me behind
after all that we have been through
you made me think it was always gonna be me and you
now, as you head for the door
To seal the dealOur little fingers lockTangling like the boondocksThe promise now annealed
What is a promise really? Words. Words that are twisted and bent. Words you say to someone, whether you mean them or not. These words are dipped in sugar and wrapped in ribbons. They can save lives, or tear them apart.
Another new place;
Another new road.
Another new school;
Another new home.
Each move just the last.
Pack up your clothes;
Pack up your shoes.
Pack up your books;
Promises linked by pinkies and sealed with a kiss are never made to be broken: Rule number one in how to date me. Trust, trust, trust: trust in you, trust in me, trust in us -- the power one simple word shares. But love
Passion stirs up within my fragile heartEverything I have ever wanted hereNothing in this world can keep us apartNo earthly sorrow or crippling fear.
I made a promiselong agoin the riveras we rowed.I said to youI'd never cryand crossed my heartand hoped to die....We got olderas all do,and distance spread
Because I Love You
Words on a paper, words on a screen,
A phrase said outloud.
Powerful when spoken, and hurtful when taken.
the lines of her hands
whisper of pinky promises
the good
and the bad
the cold nights of tears
broken hearts, hands, love
the days thoughts are smothering
"do you promise?"
"yes."
Never leave a stone unturned,
is something she believes in.
To do so means a missed opportunity, something she can’t afford.
She believes in herself.
I've wished my mays,
I've wished my mights,
My love for you goes beyond,
All the twinkles in the starry night.
I loved you then,
I love you now,
I'll love you forever,
For this is my vow.
You don't really know
What words are worth
Until you live them out
The words at first seem fleeting
Until you take them seriously
until that promise keeps echoing in your head
and you wonder
I’m there for you whenever you need me
…except for when it’s inconvenient.
You’re the most important person in my life
…until someone better shows up.
I’m sorry
…that I got caught.
I love you, I really do
But you know we can not be.
We are too afraid to face reality.
We have been to close for far too long,
And found our spot of comfort.
We will never move beyond that,
What I Need
What I will need will not include
Fire, water, earth
What I will need will not include
Water, food, shelter
What I will need will not include
People, objects --
Promises --
I don't belong in heaven,
I'm not accepted in hell,
I'm neither angel, nor demon,
I don't belongin the human realm.
I have some power, and nothing to give.
I have a life, whith nothing for which to live.
"Yes your majesty
You claim
But it turned to trajedy
Not fame
The core left me
Am i to blame?
what's it bring me?
Nothing but shame
But when i called out
Nobody came
Adulthood snuck up on me, deceived me
Oh, she’s a sly one
She flirted with me for a time, dangling her alluring maturity and ravishing freedom before my eyes
A promise is a contemptible thing
Whether by word or pen or diamond ring
Because most promises come from a foolish bloke
Whose lips before his mind have spoke
All promises root in an abstract idea
As the night comes on
With the moon hanging low
Stars glittering in the sky
Magic of love comes along
It fills the air with a sweet perfume
Where your love surrounds me
Wrapped in your arms
is it too much to ask?
is this too much for you?
no, you say—
no, you say?
so you say, but
you mean yes.
i made a promise—
a shackle,
a chain,
a weight to bear—
inked it into my skin,
let it hover
behind my throat;
Why is it that something or someone you care about is soon forgotten?
Like you promise them you will never forget them, but you forget them anyway.
I hope I forget your eyes
And that I couldn't look way.
I hope I forget your smile
Because it makes me wish you'd stay.
I hope I never call you
When its late and I can't sleep.
A never ending whorl,a quick repeating loopcrossed over and underwith fine, fine lines.The whole beingmatted with thick blackglue clinging to skinholding on like a jealous,cranky, scared lover.
He made promises.
Things he could never reach and
things he could never keep.
He saw things beyond his reach.
He would gaze at the moon and stars
It's hard to put these thoughts into words,
My heart won't tell my mouth what it should say.
Thoughts of you flutter in my head like birds.
Why wait for tomorrow? I'll start today.
Yesterday- the perfect world
routine, structure, and sureness
when love flowed from walls and lips and
passion was spoken with every word
When brokenness did not exist and
hatred had not yet been born.
When you were alone, I gave you my companionship
When you were tired, I gave you my rest
When you were in pain, I gave you my comfort
When you were lost, I gave you my home
What has happened to keeping a promise?
When a promise is broken it creates drama.
Look at Issac from The Fault in Our Stars.
Monica broke his heart causing his face to be full of tears.
The heart beats like a thousand drums
When in the face of inquiry to another
A yearning soul heard over melodious hums
My love is like a well
The deeper it is the slower it flows
But it will always flow for you
I will overflow for you
When you feel alone
Remember that place where I would hold you close
Life.
isn't always about
Love.
isn't always
Pefect.
doesn't always mean
Flawless.
doesn't always mean
Right.
sometimes leads you
Left.
is the path less
Taken.
The water. It crashes over perfectly glazed-over, deep grey sand gently-- striving not to crack the breathtaking surface of reflections.
The sun. It sinks quietly into the majestic purple and nectarine colored sky like silk.
I have only made one really big mistake in my lifeAnd it was with youYou were not my mistake though
I do not regret loving youI do not regret how hard I tried to keep youI do not regret anything I said to you
We’re living in a contradicting society
A society where most protest against abortion
But in the same breath look down upon teenage pregnancy
A society where parents point a stern finger telling you what not to do
A promise is a wonderful thing
One can promise to be early
One can promise no more fights
One can promise that they will turn out alright
Pie crust crumbles
just like your lies
false hope gleams
truth dies
Hallowed comfort
no real ground
falling.
waiting to no avail
No rough truth
just slick hissing lies
Believe in me to bathe in lava.
Trust that I will do no wrong.
If you wish, I'll fly a kite to Mars.
I will give you love wrapped in stars.
