Trapped
by Donna A.
May 7, 2004

i'm trapped by you
in a bubble
in a cell
you have crushed me, zapped me, left me victim
because of you, i had little dreams
small hopes
but my dreams and hopes are growing
you see my dreams in the way i dress
the way i look
my hopes
they're staring you in the face
you just don't see them
yet
i'm trapped by you
but i will get loose
you can't stop me
let me go, before i let myself go
that is: casting you back into the void from where you came
that is: you will be nothing to me
save yourself while you can
i'm trapped by you
but i will get loose
and you
can't
stop me

 
Lies
by Katherine M. 
April 22, 2004

Why do you tell me you will
When you won't?
Why do you tell me you love me
When you don't?

Why do you keep telling me
These never ending lies?
Why do you ignore me at night
When you hear my cries?

Why do you refuse to live in this
World that I call 'real'?
Why won't you just tell me
Exactly how you feel?

Maybe you don't realize
What it means to lie.
Well, let me tell you now
It makes me want to die.

Maybe you don't know
How much it causes pain
Maybe you don't understand...
I'll try to tell you plain.

People say the truth can hurt.
Truer words were never spoken.
But though truth causes pain, tears and screams,
Lies cause hearts to be broken.

Lost
by Katherine M. 
April 22, 2004

Where have you gone? 
I can't find you. 
I've looked and I've searched, 
What else can I do? 

You said you'd always be there 
But where? 
I know in my heart, you're just 
Not there. 

What would I do if I found you? 
What would I say? 
Would I tell you how I think of you 
Every night and every day? 

Would I wrap my arms around you 
Like I do in my dreams? 
Let my thoughts drift away and let 
My tears fall in streams? 

I see you standing there 
But it's not the you I'm searching for. 
It's an imposter, a shadow of 
Who you were before. 

You see me looking in your eyes 
But then you turn away. 
But I saw, the light is out 
The one that was bright as day. 

Where have you gone? 
I can't find you. 
You don't want to be found 
There's nothing I can do. 
 

You
by Shaun W. 
November 6, 2003

You are crazy 
and special 
in your own little 
way. Don't let No. 1 
tell you different. 
You are not 
perfect. No. 1 is. 
Cause you are you 
and we are we. 
But you will 
always be 
special 
to someone.


 
Heartbreak
by Jonathan J.
September 10, 2003

Her eyes are like stars shining bright
While all I can do
Is think of you all day and night

All I want to do is be with you
When I'm not,
I go from black to blue

I'll give you the world
As long as you're my girl
I'll even try and pay your bills!

My eyes filled with tears
While my heart is filled with fear

I wanna call you everything
From "my love" to "my dear"
And without a care in the world,
She said it was over.
 
 

Are You Willing
by Jonathan J.
September 10, 2003

I cannot write
4 I cannot think
Cannot walk
Nor can I talk
Don't wanna eat or sleep
Don't even wanna wink
4 the thought of letting you out my sights
just makes me weak

Don't want money or gold
No fancy cars or diamond rings to hold
No wild and outrageous stories to be told
Don't want land, not even the world in my hand
All I want is to be yo man

To love you for life
To do my best to make you my wife

But before I do all of that
I need to know are you willing
to give it all back.

When It's Time
by Jonathan J.
September 10, 2003

When it's time it's time
No pulling lines
No looking fine
No more laughing or crying
No righting the wrong
Nobody can help
When it's time its time
There's no love or hate
More pain than ever
can't even go on a date
You wanna change it
but in yo heart you know you can't
yo battle has come to an end
nobody can help
When it's time it's time.
