Unsure

If I could, I'd take all the pain
Make it so you never feel lonely again
Regardless of what it did to me
If I had to give you up, so you could be happy
But the problem is, I'm not sure what it is you need

Unrequited love is always agony
But is that you or is that me?
This distance is a travesty
But do you want to be next to me?
Not sure I can take the liberty.

I'd give my life to see you smile
Take away the pain even for a little while
You think I'm like a child
But I've seen you break out of this sad reverie
And what I saw still touches me
I wonder, what do you see, when you look at me?

You're so easy to love
And I'm not hard to please
You're so ready to give
And I'm so eager to put you at ease.

The truth is I've never been good at sharing
I like to fully possess
It's not selfish, maybe call it insecurity
I don't like to be second best
My heart can bleed much longer
Than some people can breathe
And so you see, after all that we've been through
I still can hope, I can still believe
In a love so pure, so true.

The angry woman

I am the angry woman I'm bleeding white-hot rage My fury of tears will drown you You should all feel afraid.  My tongue is poised for lashing My feet are here to crush My lungs are filled with fire I cannot stop the rush. My skin is scalding ashes  Of a burning, ember heart My words beat down like hail My screams are lightning darts. Watch me drink the poison And wait for you to die I am the angry woman But you all think I lie. 

You

You give me something no one else can give You make me brave So that I think We could make something out of this Life could be so beautiful But I shouldn't think like this And yet, I've never felt so seen So thoroughly understood You meet me where I stand And lead me to a higher ground Just by being you. Your gaze pierces through me You unearth me. I trust in every word you breathe Your heart has earned my fealty It's sometimes hard to breathe When you're there beside me Thrilling but also comforting I lean into you so effortlessly I never worry anymore If I'm choosing right Or thinking straight You're the best bet I could ever make I like you on the inside as much as out I like your heart, your mind, your actions too I understand your pain I know about your fears I see the broken parts that you try to hide I've never cared like this Not really on the inside I'm selfless now and unafraid Finally - I know how it feels to lov...

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
