Pigtails, Cartoon Band-Aids, and Crayons

Pigtails, cartoon band-aids, and crayons
Life was so much easier back then
When we could walk outside
Dressed in a striped shirt
Paired with polka-dot shorts
And no one cared


Our mommy fixed our hair
Bathed us, cooked for us,
Tucked us in tight at night
Kissed our foreheads to see if we were warm
And made sure no one
Hurt "her baby girl"

Now we're on our own
Mommy can't be there
Every time we fall down
Fevers and bad hair days
Are things we have to fix all by ourselves


Boys were super icky
Cause of all the cooties
They made us cry
By calling us mean names
And trying to kiss us
When the teacher wasn't watching

Now boys are irresistible
With their muscles and their charm
They cause our tears now
By causing heartache
And taking advantage of us
But someday we will find "the one"


As we all get older
Our innocence and vulnerability
Give way to often painful experience
We are forever changed
Pigtails, cartoon band-aids, and crayons
Those were the days

Just You

I used to think I would never need a man I guess in some ways that still hold true But there is one big difference I don't need just any man I need you Before I met you I thought I was happy I thought my life had meaning However, I was horribly wrong You came into my life and my soul You made everything ten times better Than it had ever been before You've made me feel Things I have never felt before You kiss me and I melt You place your hand on the small of my back As we walk together And I feel this amazing sense Of peace and comfort All of this to love and enjoy For as long as we live And you saved it all for me How amazing you are in so many ways And yet you remain mine And only mine I love you so very much From now until always

On This Rare Occasion

I know you love me, I really do But there are still times You leave me feeling so very alone And desperate to simply hear That you care Even though I know you do You say you'll wait for me Then something happens, I don't know what, And you leave me anyway It hurts deep down inside I start to cry lonely tears Tears of pain, doubt and fear Run down my face every single time Taking my eyeliner for a ride You put me through all of this Yet you know it is wrong You just need to realize The affect you have on me and my emotions But I still know you love me Somehow I can still feel it Just know I'm not writing this to hurt you Only to let you know How you make me feel sometimes Despite the love we share For you've told me many times You want to know if you've upset me Well to be honest, This is one of the rare times that you do Please forgive me If I came across all wrong I just had to let you know I don't know if I can handle It

Haunted

Sitting here all alone Thinking back to those haunting words I can't seem to get them out of my mind Wondering what they mean And why they were said I can't help but think the speaker hates me Or feel like I will ruin your life I never want to lose you But I don't want to feel guilty for holding you back I am scared that I am slowly losing you Worried that I am dying inside His words are draining me He is tearing me apart And doesn't even realize it So please talk to me Tell me it will all be okay Cause somehow I always believe The loving words you speak to me Wipe away my tears and tell me you love me Make me feel whole again Bring back the passion Don't let him tear us apart Alone, I am not strong enough But together I believe we can overcome Lets stop those haunting words That imply I will someday ruin you Or cause your untimely death So save me from myself
