This is so TRUE!!!!! Seen it a 100 times!!!!!!!

 

Tired of Playing The Game

Waiting

Waiting for the ringing

Waiting for the call

Waiting for the door to open

The sound of your foot fall

Waiting for your whistle

The happy of your smile

Waiting for your body

To sit with me a while

Waiting for your sunshine

To take away my rain

Waiting for your healing

To take away my pain

Waiting, waiting, all I do

But you don't seem to care

Every time I look around

You are never there

So, in this state I find myself

Tell you what I aim to do

Check myself before I wreck myself

With all this waiting 'round on you

You know I've been real sweet to you

Always tried to treat you nice

But without maintaining, the hottest flame

Will eventually turn to ice

So before I go find other fire

To warm my chilly heart

Why didn't you tell me that this would end

Before it had a chance to start?

But We Don't Say Goodbye

 

But We Don't Say Goodbye

We've said a lot of things, we two

Like , 'I am so happy that I found you

Like,  you are my moon, my stars and sun

My life, my love, my only one.'

We've laughed in pain,

We've cried for joy

We've been transparent

Been shy and coy.

We've reeled love in

And gave it slack

We've run away

And then ran back.

We've fought like lions,

Cooed like a dove

Laid down our lives

For each other's love.

No matter the circumstance,

No matter the cause

We've held to the victories,

Dismissing the loss.

We've written the poetry

That brought forth the sighs

Embraced like true lovers

With tears in our eyes.

Said 'I love you forever'

Said 'I hate you right now'

Said 'I might live without you'

But I cannot see how.'

We've walked through the thunder

Hand in hand, holding fast

Danced in moonlight at midnight

Long as moonlight would last.

Been through so much, we two, together

Will go through more before we die

We say such things and some we shouldn't

But you and I don't say goodbye.

Sweet Baby

My Very Favorite Prince Song

 

"Sweet Baby"

"You want to be my sweet baby?"
You asked shyly
And I hung my head 
And nodded
Because I was shy, too

And that was how it started,
How it began
With me and you
Slowly and shyly
And oh, so sweetly.

When I feel sad or down
I think of that day
When you called me "Sweet baby"
For the first time
And I always smile.

For I had waited for ever
For someone to notice me
And talk to me
And learn how sweet I could be.

For someone to walk with me
And hold my hand
And look into my eyes
Like they could see into my soul.

But everyone just passed me by
Like I was invisible
And never said a word
And every day I just got lonelier
And lonelier.

Till I saw you
Standing there alone yourself
Looking like you didn't have nothing
And nobody
And no where to go.

And I waited and waited
And I prayed and prayed
That you would look my way
But you never did
So I took matters into my own hands.

I marched right over 
To where you were leaning against the store
And I went right up to you
Like I had good sense
And I said, "Hello."

And you jumped out of your skin
And said, "Who, me?"
And I said, "I don't see nobody else here."
And you stood there very quietly
For about five very long minutes.

"I'm sorry." you finally said
"But I've been watching you every day
Since I moved to this town
And I thought you were the prettiest girl
I had ever seen in my life!"

"I can't believe you're speaking to me
Or that you even knew I was alive
So I guess it scared me too death
When you came over and said hello
'Cause I was just standing here dreaming."

And that is how I learned that boys
Are strange but then so are girls
For we have no idea that anyone feels
The way we do or dreams the dreams we do
Because we are too afraid to ask.

And we became inseparable
From that day to this
And we walked and we talked
And we learned all about one another
And found out how much we were alike.

Then one day you had to go out of town
For the summer
And you didn't want to go and I didn't want you to
And we stood there at the bus station
With tears in our eyes like big ole babies.

That's when you called me your sweet baby
And I told you I would wait for you
And write you every day if you wanted me to
And that I would miss you with all my heart
And you gave me that necklace with the heart on it.

That was the longest three months of my life
And I know it was hard for you too
But sometimes it's good to be apart
Because then you learn just how much
You love somebody.

My mama teased me all summer
And asked me why I was moping around
"Over that lil ole boy"
And telling me I needed to take off that necklace
At least when I took a bath.

But I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't let go of it
I held onto it with all my soul
And I was holding onto it when you came back home
But what I didn't know was that you had left a boy
And you stepped off that old bus, a man.

"How's my sweet baby?" you called
And pulled me into your arms
Like somebody drowning holds onto a life raft
And I hung my head and said, "I'm fine"
"Just fine."

Then in a renewed burst of courage I grabbed you
And gave you the biggest kiss that anybody had ever
Gotten in the history of kissing
And the gawkers and shoppers let out shocked gasps
But I didn't care and I kissed you again.

And I turned around 
And my mama was standing there by the car
And I thought she was gonna kill me
Or ground me for a hundred years
 But she had the most amazed expression on her face
And to my ever lasting surprise she just looked at me
And she said, "You go, girl."

As The Night Writes Us It's Song

As The Night Writes Us It's Song

I want you like I need you

I need you like I love

I love you like the ground below

And like the sky above

I feel you in the twilight

Like soft sand 'neath my feet

Coming through the atmosphere

And there my heart to meet

Touching me with just your eyes

Devouring with your glance

You reach for me as your soul sings

And pulls me close to dance

The day, forgotten, the night, awaits

And loneliness is gone

We kiss, we love, we touch, we sing

As the night writes us it's song

All The Things You Are ....a song or a poem or both

All The Things You Are 

Candlelight in the window

The soft fall of silver rain

The low moan in the distance

Of a lone outgoing train.

A rose that's wet with dew drops

A bird that's on the wing

The cooing of little babies

Lullabies their mothers sing.

There's a sweetness to the morning

There's a passion to the night

There's a softness in your kisses

There's a grip your love holds tight.

There's so many lovely, lovely things

In this world, I tell you true

But none can compare to you standing there

And the beauty I see in you.

You're the rainbow in a fresh washed sky

The smell of grass, new mown

You're the wine that's made from priceless grapes

And the harvest from love's seed, sown.

When I look at you, I hold my breath

All my eyes can do is stare

Locked onto yours so deep and warm

Forever falling there.

There's a richness to your laughter

There's a fire in your touch

There's a royalty to your face and form

Both of which I love so much.

No mortal description is good enough

No adjective can describe

Your loving heart that can't be bought

By any bill or bribe.

I hear music when I'm near you

For you glow as though a star

I'm drowned in romance and surrounded by love

And all the beautiful things you are........

You are

All the beautiful things you are.

The Beauty of Who You Are

by Mark Broussard

Could I Fall in Love?

 

Looking

Looking

(the beginning of a journey)

Streets as dark as dark can get

Skies as black as blackest jet

I walk these hopeless paths and yet....

Keep looking, I keep looking.

There in the night, a distant light

There in the light, a dim lit sight

I run to see if I am right.....

For looking, always looking.

Too many times, too many days

I've lost my treasure, lost my ways

Grabbed hold so tight, they slipped away....

But continued looking, continued looking.

There is a place, I know, for me

And I will know it when I see

An oasis from this world, will be.....

If I keep looking, just keep looking.

My footsteps, slower now, with age

My life, words, on a yellowed page

My heart, a sad thing in a cage.....

Beats faintly, but still looking, looking.

Love, it calls my unknown name

Like taunting children at a game

Life, it changes, but stays the same....

And I go on looking, I go on looking.

Then up ahead, around a curve

A bright light rises from the swerve

And welcomes me with smile and verve....

And I stop looking, I stop looking.

(the ending)

Only Lonely....A Disjointed Discourse at Four In The Morning

Only Lonely song

Hootie and The Blowfish

......Only Lonely.......

A Disjointed Discourse

At Four In The Morning

The clock ticks

Resounding reverberations mocking

Each tick like a heart beat

While silver stars made of dust

Are dancing in the moonlight

Streaming through cloudy windows

Onto the floor

Where I lie curled into a little ball 

Of hurt.

It's a quarter past four

A wine glass overturned,

Spills garnet red onto the polished wood

Inching slowly toward a book of poetry

That you gave me

When you met me

When you liked me

When you loved me.

A sudden wind visits

And rakes a wayward limb

Against the roof

A dog howls

A cat yowls

An owl awakens

And surveys his surroundings

And goes back to watchful sleep.

I wonder why I'm lying there

On the floor

In the dark

Covered only by my raven dark hair

And the blanket of moonlight

That rests upon

My flesh and form.

And then I remember

And I touch my wet face

And taste the wine on my tongue,

Push the book away from disaster

And upright

The crystal flute

Lying in it's wasted sea of Merlot.

Go away, teardrops! 

Run away, heartache!

Move along, memories!

Nothing to see here!

We've all seen this scene before.

Through season

Storm and sunny day

Since fate and luck

Took love away

Since all my hopes of loving you

And all my dreams did not come true.....

(Hey, I made a rhyme! I wrote a poem!)

We've been here before

This floor and I

Moonlight bathed

Tears in my eye

Wine and poetry in my hand

Longing for a loveless man.

There's nothing here

Stars haven't seen

Nothing here or in-between

Nothing, nothing

But the sound

Of clocks that tick,

Tears falling down.

I am not dying

I am not dead

Not intoxicated

In my head

I am not crazy

I'm still quite sane

I still have thoughts

Within my brain

But I hurt, I hurt

I miss, I miss

Your hard embrace,

Your tender kiss.......

Sigh

I stand now, stumbling

Holding onto empty air

For a moment, I almost call your name

But I catch myself

And stop myself

From making an even bigger fool

 Of my foolish self.

Up the stairs I climb

Very slowly....

Because I do not want

To fall into that empty bed

With it's pillows

Still indented

And scented

By your head.

The moonlight trails me

And lights the way

Glinting off your pictures lining the walls,

Our pictures,

Filled with happy smiles 

And anticipations

That never came to be.

Look at you there 

In the shadows, hiding

Hurtful things

In the corners of your eyes

Waiting to rob me like a midnight thief.

I will never let you see

How your leaving left me

Only the moon and the stars

Will know the pain that I feel 

Your love was not real

Nor were your smiles, so seductive

That they made me believe

That you were loving me only.

Tomorrow will be a new day

As this night fades into light

Not all nights are this bad

Not all days are this sad

In the morning I'll be almost alright

Tonight I'm

 Only lonely.
