New Verse

My heart skips a beats as I trip over my feet and fall hard for you. My words jumble and I begin mumble as music speaks to me. His melody dances in my heart and his rhythm is in one with my soul. He is incredible. His flow lifts me high and I can’t help but wonder why I haven’t gone under. I hear that his beat that’s got me hooked. And I know that with fresh lyrics and time music will be mine, but for know this is just a new verse to my rhyme.

old music

Listening to the sounds you left behind
Your voice echoes in my mind
The track plays
As days come to pass
Hoping that this music will last
A moments longer
The beat grows stronger
But then fades again
The lines repeat
And I can't eat
For your notes are all I can feed on
The record shatters
And I couldn't be sadder
To see this music crumbled before me.

symphony called love

He comforts me when sad... Singing sweetly in my ear while Playing
softly a light rhythmic melody to lift my spirits high. He encourages me
to stay strong guiding me verse after verse of all the things that could
be wrong.
Beating gently on the keys of my heart he writes a song of love.
Harmonically connecting he and I. Our love sings in a key much too high
for you to hear but it is there. Like pages and pages of notes it can be
seen. But only understood by the musicians that have played this same
symphony called love.

Letter to a friend in need

I know you’ve been hurt and you carry pain as if it was attached to your heart, but you are not alone, there are others that carry this load too. We are the wounded, the hurt and the abused, but we must stop feeling our shoes with sad blues and take our second chances. I know it gets complicated and we let our mind do all the thinking, but sometimes out hearts have something to say too. And my heart says my second chance is you. You say you going to take the time to fix the wounds you hold inside, but I was thinking you and I could work them out side by side. I want to help you make things right and be there for you if you want to cry at night. You say you’re comfortable with me and like to talk, but can’t you see I want to be there to mend your heart. And I’m not trying to rush you because I know it takes time to heal, I just want to be there to share how you feel. I want to know the joys, the laughs, the pain and all the ways that you can feel. I was thinking maybe you will take this chance with me, so I can see your deepest desires, wounded thoughts and hidden ambitions that make you truly YOU! Damn… I don’t know what else to say except I’m really feeling you and it hurts me to see you this way.

Secretly Falling Apart

By: shanicERICAiken

Sometimes I find myself staring at you
My breath quickens as you pass me by
My palms sweat as you look at me
And when you talk to me I try to hide my smile of excitement of you noticing me.
I wonder if others notice my gaze
or the endless maze my eyes travel just to see you smile.
I sit and watch as others try to be you and wonder what it must be like to be loved by someone like you.
But I know there is no other like you,
for you are truly one of a kind,
full of charm that could confuse even the most brilliant minds.
At night, I lay awake trying to make sense of all the feelings I hide inside for you. But in the end, I see you will only be the strange & beautiful friend that has stolen my heart from me.
