Is it ever possible
to listen to your heart?
Cause it can betray you
And tear you apart
I kno hwo it feels
And its killin me inside
I need to run away
To find a place and hide
And im wondering
If i can
Believe what i feel
Can i believe him?
Can i believe..in him?
I may never know
If he feels the same
But at least I'll
have the chance
To say to me these feelings came
I miss him when I'm away
I need him when he's gone
I wanna hold him close
All night...long
But he cares for another
So why do i even bother
Cause i think i love him,
Thast why
Can't Let Go

*****************************
I'm afraid to ask
If you do
love me too
Cause i dont want to
feel more hurt
because of you.
Ive tried to find
someone new
someone who could take the
place of you
But as you know
It didnt work
And i cant let go
Its hard to be me
lookin at you
From over here
It's sad to hear
But its true, my dear
And i ain't gonna stop now
Anytime soon

***********************************
I know you liked
Number Nineteen
But it just didnt suit
I realized you hadn't seen
My good songs
(and my bad songs to boot)
But I'm puttin neither
Here's one in-between
It doesn't suck
(I Hope)
And its not spectacular
Cause trust me,
You don't want one of my
Tragic love songs
Reminding you of where you are
And who you're with
Everyday trying to raise the bar
The movie's Hidalgo
Thought you should know
Remember,
The one with Viggo?
It's a little off topic
I'm sure you can see
But anywho,
Here's a poem
For you
From,
Me
:)

First Rights: Me Date: May 14, 2005 ******************* You're
so perfect for me I hope you understand How much you mean to me You came into my life When I needed someone to
care about me, To believe in, to trust. I was so lost when you found me You've changed my life, You've changed
me. I've never been this happy I've never had someone care about me this much You know just what to say to make it
all better Sometimes, You don't have to say anything at all When I'm in your arms, It feels like home. I've
never felt that before I know you want a summer Full of memories I'll never forget but each moment with you is one... Like
lying on the hood of your car Watching the sun set I'll never, ever forget that. And I've never cared about anyone
more. You're so good to me And I wouldn't trade our time together For anything. So, thank you... And Happy
Birthday, hun...
For Serge

I love him
But he's so far away
He's out of my reach
Though I wish for him
Day by day
I've just started to realize
How much he means to me
And Im' scared
I'm afraid
Could i live without him
In any way?
Well its better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all,
they say
I need to do something
to get my mind off him
But if i do
I might forget
All that he's done for me
How happy he's made me be.
Even through the misery
the silence and unanswered questions
I thank him for going that extra mile
And being the only one
that really made me smile
Hold On

***********************
So my friends dont like him
They think he's a jerk
Tellin me all this
They think its gonna work
But most of them dont know
That i dont care
About all that
He's nice to me, and as a fact
Most of them dont know
How much he means to me
I'm not giving up
After all I've been through
I'm not forgetting it all
After all he put me through
Maybe if i hold on to
you
just a little longer
The least it could do
Is make me stronger
I Miss You

I'm starting to lose part of Myself
as the days go by I'm being driven crazy by your memory Since you've been gone Since you left me You don't know what you've done to me On the
outside I'm calm, but Underneath..inside... I cry

Why do i have to be so in love?
Why do i have to have
feelings i dont want to?
Why do i keep thinking of
him
When i know,
He's not the one for me?
I wish i could see
The one who could be
Truly the one for me
But every time
I end up denying
Cause he's always the one i see
And i wish he'd be
The one for me
Why do i let my heart be broken?
Why do i keep trying?
Why do i go on
Knowing he's taken?
Why am i
Always the one
Who ends up cyrin?

Looking
out
On
this place I called home
I
think to myself,
What
hell is this?
That
which has destroyed
My
innocence,
And
blackened my heart?
That
which has taken my solace,
My
comfort,
For
the sake of its pleasure?
That
which revels in destruction
Cares
only for itself?
Those
years of battles
Within
and without
Swords
flashing
Scimitars
like lightning
How
was I to know
It
would all lead to this?
This,
Which
I have brought upon myself?
The
only one
I
have known like me
Has
been taken
For
that damned Spider Queen.
Malice
unleashed her power
Ever
wanting to tear down the bond
Between
father and son.
Though
she valued his
Services
Far
too much.
My
hopes have been shattered
I
have been left all alone.
Your
life was my lesson
Trapped
is only a feeling
Not
a state of being
I
shall break these chains
That
held you back.
Blood
is stronger than this nightmare.
I
shall avenge you
But
know
Your
death was not in vain
You
are not alone.
I
am with you always,
Weapon
Master,
Father,
Zaknafein.

You say I’m making this harder Than it was supposed
to be Good, I don’t want it to be easy. I won’t let you just throw it all away like this. I’ve
been silent long enough Now I’m going to fight for us. You didn’t expect me to act this way, When you
finished what you came to say But I’m not one to worry about pride I don’t care if you see me cry. If
that’s what it takes To get through to you Then that’s exactly what I’ll do. You know I love you; You
say you love me too But do you still believe it would be easier If we were apart? I made you a promise- I won’t
go back on my word. I’ll tell you how I feel And I hope you’ll change your mind But I don’t want
a pity vote. Don’t stay because you’re worried about me. I can take care of myself. And don’t walk
away if you still care. Life ain’t easy, and life ain’t fair. Get used to it, live with it, You know
we can work this out. Unless there’s something more, Something you’re not telling me— But if that’s
true, then don’t be preaching to me About honesty. So, honey, here’s the honest truth: I love you; I’d
do anything for you. I’m going to fight; I won’t bail. You’ll never be just a friend; you mean too
much to me. I see where you’re coming from, I really do, But try to do the same for me. I know you’ve
done so much for me already, Given up so much of yourself. For my sake. For me. I never asked for it, but you
did anyway. But I’m asking you this, I want this one last thing: Don’t give up on us.

It's strange how
the more you rarely see him
the more you realize
he's out of your reach
How you can't have it your way.
And its funny how
the one you see often
that you're good friends with,
the one you always used to think about
the one that ruined you world
is the one you look to
to brighten your day
These two
so different
and yet, the same
make you feel
amazing,
amazingly great,
For the first one
only when you see him
off your shoulders,
he takes the weight
and the second
when you dont have to think
when you dotn want to remember
that there was one thing stopping you two from beign together
And that
is this little thing called

Well, hey girl You've been buggin me from Day 1 Warning me Trying
to get it Through my head. He hurt me once, You said "I told you so" He hurt me twice, You said "I'll
kick his ass" He hurt me again And whaddya know, You thought I learnt at last. But hey, I thought you knew me
better than that? Hahaha yah you know me better Than I do! At least you knew I'd go right back To where I was
before. Through grade 9 And a summer after that, We thought it go straight through grade ten. I never even thought
of when I'd ever get over him. But it started all over again He hurt me once you said, "When will you learn?" He
hurt me twice You said, "I'm sorry hun" He hurt me again And whaddya know Once again, You thought I learnt. Well
believe me, All your nagging All your jokes Finally paid off. I thought i learnt this time too! I had myself
convinced of it Only to learn How much it still hurt. But really I DID listen to you Took to heart what you
said I appreciate it all Even when you knew He was playing with my head, And i wouldnt let myself believe you. So,
I'll have you know It took a while, But I dedicate this day to you. It's the day I got over him March 7, 2004

Its always different From
one year, to the next Never the same, Never what you expect You see that you've changed In all eyes but your own You
can see just how you've grown And yet only you've been shown Keep feeling so alone When you're reminded By some
force unknown Of what happned on this day How he got away You wanna blame it all on something, Take it out on
something So Blame it on the Snow
You don't know what to say How'd it go astray? you thought about him everyday You
still do to this day But he was blown away Like the storm that took you home Losing your chance Disappeared in
a glance When the DJ said The roads will be closed There goes your chance There goes your dance For all your
sorrow and woe Blame it on the snow
The next day He came to you You were feelin blue He asked why he
couldn't find you She told him y'all, if he didnt recall, Had to leave You couldn't believe That he had said he
had taken time To look for you and then tell you But it woulnd't have needed to happen and it'll never happen
again Cause you get back up When you hit a low But you can still always Blame it on the Snow

I
miss you every second Of every minute Of every day And I don’t see how I can go on Without you here to hold
me. You need to know how much I need you, How much I love you. You need to know How much I still care, How
much I’ll always care. I’m so scared Of not being with you It’s all I’ve known for so long, You’re
all I’ve known. What do I do without you? It’s too damn hard Knowing you’re so close, But you
won’t kiss me like you used to. And in the words of Gram, “And the sun comes up without you, It just
doesn’t know you’re gone”* I just want you to be happy… But thank you for everything you’ve
done for me You really did change my life. And I want you to know this too: I love you. And when I wake up in
the middle of the night to cry, You don’t know how much I need you beside me, To hold me and tell me it’ll
be alright…
