Please, Be Mine

(think “I will learn to love again”; “I will”)

I’m done trying,

If you want me

You can have me,

But don’t keep talking.

The moon is barely out,

It’s a sickle in the blackness,

I wonder where you are;

Can you feel the darkness?

                              

Chorus:

I'm a careful daughter

Wanting a carefree man,

Take me away to another planet,

Just by looking me in my eyes.

I want to feel your breath

On my skin again;

Wrapped in each others' arms,

In the black light.

And most of all,

I still want you to be mine.

So give me a chance,

Don’t you get that I still want you;

Don’t you understand that I still care?

Come on boy and stop considering all your options.

I know you love me,

You’ve told me and it wasn’t a dream,

No faeries messed with my mind,

I will bring you to brightness.

Chorus

Chorus

I still want you to be mine,

Please, be mine.

Killing Butterflies

The thrum of my heart

Seems to run in tune

With the cracking of concrete,

Don’t break me.

Chorus:

Stop killing the butterflies

My best friend tells me

There’s a rumbling in my tummy,

But not like Pooh Bear’s, for honey—

I need to stop worrying—

God help me.

Save this paper thin heart

That seems to be caught

In a an in-between,

Are we at an in-pass?

Chorus

Stop killing the butterflies

Stop killing the butterflies

I say it in my head like a mantra.

Stop killing the butterflies

Stop killing the butterflies

I sing it in my head like a mantra.

Stop killing the butterflies

Stop killing the butterflies

I scream it in my head like a mantra.

Talk to me…

This silence has my heart

In a prison of fear and worry

Are we going to have—

My tears are questioning

Chorus

The thrum of my heart

This paper thin heart

Is asking if we’re going to have

Our happy ending?

True Love

My Grandma told me

One day I’d grow up

Who would’ve thought

That would be when

I would find true love.

Chorus 1

In middle school we

Get crushes on celebrities.

In high school we

Mistake lust for love.

In college we

Experiment to find our identities—

But in the real world,

That’s where we find our beginnings.

Chorus 2

Love me, leave me

It’s all up to you

But while we’re together

There’s nothing that can sever

True love.

Chorus 2

Chorus 1

Chorus 2

Growing up leads to finding

Your better half

The other puzzle piece

Chorus 2

While we’re together,

Nothing can sever

True love.

Accepted

Life isn’t black and white

There’s gray in film noir

And no thick lines to travel

Just fine ones like the edge of knives.

Im not perfect, no one is

So, I won’t say that I am

But sometimes, I love myself—

All the blurs and imperfections

Chorus

Take me away from

This unforgiving place.

All I want is to be accepted

By someone other than myself.

All I want is to be loved,

By someone else.

Bonnie and Clyde

Both misunderstood and misled.

Beauty broke the beast’s curse,

Even though he was at his worst.

So why can’t I, just be seen as I am

Freckles and scars

My mind my own

Living up to my faults but beautiful like comets and stars.

Chorus

Take me away

Chorus

I just want to be accepted—

Accepted as I am, inside and out

Don’t you want to be accepted?

Chorus

Chorus

Other than myself.

Cradle Me

Your hands and my hands

Were meant to be put together

Intertwine our fingers—

You love me for me

And always seem

To find a way to understand.

Chorus

So come find me, my love

Cradle me in the pocket of your heart;

Give us endless chances, my love

Our love’s a journey, that’s never-ending.

You’re a safe haven

When you hold me close

Pull me in your arms—

I love you for you

And I always seem to find

What you can’t see.

Chorus

Your eyes find mine

I’m pulled from reality

Bring peace to one another—

We’re friends and

We know each other

Better than God and the Devil.

Chorus

Come find me, my love

Cradle me in the pocket of your heart

Cradle me in the pocket of your heart

Cradle me in the pocket of your heart

Of your heart,

Of your heart.
