2. Key to my heart

My heart
Is like a vault
Locked away
From any
More pain
From any
More suffering..

Sadly
The key
To my sacred vault
Is in your hand
For you
To approach and depart
As you please

Why, oh why?
Did I give you that key?
I should have
Known better..
I should have
Been wise..

But my mind
Has no place
In this fragile decision
It merely watches
As my heart
Makes the same mistake
Over and over again..

Opening up that vault
And letting in
All the aching of
My heart being
Torn apart
Once again..

And when it is all over
There, is my broken heart
The lock on the door
Left open and broken..

It quickly closes up
And once more
Puts up its security wall
Around my tender heart
And tries to recover
Before the next hand
Comes along..

3. Fly away

I know we have our differences,
and we do not always agree.
I know I said I loved you,
but you have to set me free.

Free me from this pain,
Save me from these tears.
Save me from my darknessed soul,
Save me from my fears.

I said I love you, and I do,
but this is not our fate,
I won't be here in this world,
filled with pain and hate.

Free me from this cage of horror,
Even thought you want me here,
Let me past these dark, heavy clouds,
let me see the sky so clear.

Let me out of this awful pain,
Let me leave today,
Let me say goodbye to you,
Let me fly away.

Intoxicated

The weather beaten garden clock betrays some laziness
The once precise hands have now grown rhythm-less

The laced hammock sways beneath the winking stars
And the silver moonlight floods the dale of flowers

But something strikes my heart as I lie in that light
Enveloped in the velvet silence of this queer night

The dancing flame of fire still burns the candle wick
The bottle of cherry wine`s smashed by a drunken kick

The wind is steady; blows strong without a change
But somehow this heart of mine has never felt as strange

But now my thoughts chase each other to victory
And I finally understand the cause of my misery

On this very hammock she used to be in my embrace
I`d kiss her till she fell asleep, exhaling on my face

On this quiescent trail we had patted smiling flowers
Invented sailing hearts by connecting the stars

Between these very hills our winter moons had sunk
We`d break the wine bottles each time we got drunk

The butterflies had blushed upon seeing our first kiss
Laying on the fresh-cut grass, enclosed in a smitten mist

And now I lie, drunk, with wine and memories of two
I hope missing her is not something I must get used to

The air of strangeness transforms to a glacial breath
This new life of loneliness is in fact a living death

The wind puts out the candle, darkness adds to gloom
Even the gusts bring the rosy scent of her perfume

And as it intoxicates me, my eyes turn to scour
I look around for her, until I realize she is afar

And each time a star dives, this heart of mine believes
And searches for her, once again, amidst the mocking breeze...

5.)Love Like Thorns

Culminating in me my most intimate desire,
Love like thorns to stick into you, be my heart, it were a briar,
And you fall and nestle softly in it's ill-welcoming grasp,
Peircing, numbing you with love, yet holding to you like clasp,
Still my fear be branch by branch, you'll break from me, and be you free,
You'll leave me only with these roots to grow this love back like a seed,
And that overwhelming nothingness I've felt but once before,
May be a nothingness I may, but once, in this life ably endure.

Daniel Ray Mulvany

~Where To Start (6)~

The worst is when you love someone,
as more than just a friend.
She teases you and flirts with you,
to you it's not pretend.

All her friends will tell you,
"I think she likes you too."
You'll knod and shake your head,
as if you already knew.

But, inside you are always questioning,
if to her it's just a game.
But, you're in love, it makes no difference,
to you it's all the same.

You sit with her when your alone,
and try to take things further.
No further than a hug or kiss,
and she's labeled you a pervert.

Now things are all messed up,
because you had thought wrong.
She didn't really like you,
you were right all along.

Sometimes, when you're in love,
you take things more to heart.
When it comes to women,
men have no clue where to start.

~Lying Under The Stars~ (7)

Lying Under The Stars
Waiting for the perfect moment
To call you my own
This was no accident

For I love you
More and more each day
I can't believe this view
Out here by the bay

It is beautiful
Just like you
The sky so colorful
Almost as if it was drew

Looking at you so deeply
I move in for the kiss
Touching your lips amply
Hands in hands, what a heavenly bliss

Holding you tight
Not wanting to let go
Thinking what a perfect night
As we sit there in aglow

I do care (9)
By: David Marshall

She thinks I don't care,
But I'm always there.

She thinks it wont be OK,
But I got something to say.

When you broke my heart,
and made me cry.
I always came back,
with out a goodbye.

When you put me through hell,
and pushed me away.
My heart could tell,
that I would stay.

When I look at the scars I made,
with this evil blade.
All i could do is stare,
wondering what we share.

But before you begin to lie,
before you begin to cry,
before you want to die,
before you say goodbye.

I want to let you know,
why I'm always there.
I may not always show,
but I truly do care.

10. Never make me cry
by Tara-Kay

Just say we stand a chance and you're willing to try
Or say there's nothing left for you and tell me goodbye.
I can tell you've been crying on the inside
I can see right through your eyes, what you're trying to hide.

You told me one day that you loved me and I cried,
And then I remembered all the times that you lied.
I can see that this time you really mean what you say,
And I know I couldn't love you any other way.

I know we can make this work out the best I can,
I know with all my heart, you'll always be my man.
You will always be the guy that I have dreamt about,
You make me wanna sing, dance and even shout.

I will tell the world I have found you again,
I know deep down you'll never cause me pain.
Just say we stand a chance and you're willing to try.
You cant say there's nothing left for you and tell me goodbye.
cos I know you'd never make me cry.

11) Goodbye Darling

She watches as they slowly, lower the casket,
Wishing she had never told him to take that shortcut.
If it wasn't for her yelling, he'd still be alive,
As she goes back into her memory archive.

Back in high school, when they first met,
He asked her out, because it was a bet.
Then he realized, money didn't matter,
He didn't care who knew, for he loved her.

They were only freshman, yet madly in love,
They had maturity far up and above-
the rest. Then at 18, he popped the question,
"Will you marry me", and "yes" was her reaction.

Now she cries, after 5 years of marriage,
She wishes more than anything to give him one last message.
That's she sorry, and she loves him more than anything,
She will miss him, and don't worry, he'll always mean something.

The priest then states, "He died in a car,
As he, and his wife, drove to the local bar.
She said, take a shortcut, because it's getting late,
Because tonight was special, since their child, their first date.

A drunk from the bar, must've not seen them,
Because he hit the car, and the car went in flames in mayhem.
Luckily for us, the wife got away,
As we can see, he didn't, that's why were here today."

He says a little pray now, as all throw in roses,
As in his coffin, he eternally snoozes.
All the guest go home, except for his wife,
She says goodbye, he was the love of her life.

"Goodbye, my darling Husband, I've known you so long,
I'm sorry that this happened, I was so wrong.
I'll really miss you, I'll never forget about you,
Goodbye honey, I know you love me too."

(12) ~Pick up the phone~

God I miss your voice
The way it sooths my soul.
I miss your laughter
How it rings in my head
I miss everything about you
How your voice affects
The very bottom of my core.

I can always imagine
You smiling when
I talk to you
I know you grin
When I say I love you.

So long it has been
Since I herd your voice
The image of your
Smile is fading from
My mind.

I stare at the phone
That lies on my bed
I am wondering
If you would
Pick up the phone
If you know it was me.
I wonder if you
Would pick up the phone
And realize that
We were meant to be.

Rain

Rain, something i think of
it reminds me of you
the day we met
our hair stuck to our faces
my make-up smeared
i looked up at you and smiled
water dripping off your nose
our eyes met,
it didn't matter how wet we were
then a car, a puddle
well you know
the moment lost
then we got on to the train
we sat together and whispered
about nothing
but about everything
it wasn't even our stop
but we got off any way
dancing in the rain
I've never felt this way before
then you kissed me
everything vanished
and we went our separate ways
all of this,
just because of the rain

Hidden Crush
by Tisha

I have a secret crush, but I can not tell you who it is
All I know is that when I am around him,Is that I can tell
that my heart belongs with his
When I close my eyes all see is his face
When I am around him my heart begins to race
My stomach does Flip-Flops
And the whole time that I am around him this feeling never
stops
When I look into his eyes I breathe ,then just sigh
I want to tell you his name
But if I did I am sure that you would point the blame
Cause you see he has a family and another life
And yes he has a beautiful wife
So thats why I can not tell him how I feel
But I know that the love that I feel for him is real
I know sometimes they argue and do not get along
But me telling him how I feel now, would just be wrong
The love that I feel I will keep locked up inside
So now you understand,Why this crush I have to hide..
