Mind Reader

You say you can read minds
So you must know
The hate I feel
And the way you've hurt my soul
Yelling and cursing
Pointing out every flaw
And letting anger say
Everything is my fault

If you can read minds
Then you have learned
The ways I used to hurt myself
My memories should also be yours

Memories of cutting myself,
Forcing down the alcohol,
And giving away my innocence
Should come to mind

Instead, the real me
Sits right behind a string of lies
Lies I only tell you
Because I don't think you'd approve
Of the decisions and actions that define
Your grown up little girl

You say you can read minds
Maybe its the truth
But can you honestly read mine?
You just know so little about my life

I've thought too many bad thoughts,
Told too many lies,
Made too many mistakes
For you to not hold them all against me
At every chance

So keep lying to yourself
Just like I lie to you
And maybe someday
I'll let you learn the truth

Do Feel

Inside I feel as if we are falling apart And I am the one to blame I don't know if you have sensed it But this is the way I feel I try to stop it You know I love you But I feel as if you are slipping through my fingers And away from my heart I feel helpless and useless There is nothing I can do or say To stop these feelings from coming But I guess that I should feel lucky That my heart still feels at all

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

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
