english projects aren't fun. especially when you have to do it in a group. XD So, we read a poem called "To a Sad Daughter". And we had to write a poem, as if back to the person who wrote it, her father.
To a Sad Father Here I am Speaking words I never thought I'd say. "Don't worry, be happy." When you're in your purple world, Don’t feel lost; For I'll always be here beside you. Love is confusion at its worst, I never thought it would be this way at first
So open your eyes. See the possibilities. Look past the confusion I’ll be your eyes to help you see Don't think, "I will never know Which way to go It’s so hard to figure out I don’t know what it's all about"
Never give up Never give in, When you fall down, Just get back up again. You’re not over the hill yet Don’t live your life in regret No matter what, you’re still a great father And I’ll always be your loving daughter
--- It's kinda...bad. XD we tried to make it rhyme...haha tried, all together. You know how people say, more hands make light work, or great minds think alike? haha, doesn't work in this case. lol

I haven't posted poems..in a really long time...
Those Three words, "I Love You"
When I see your face My heart starts to race I can't believe this feeling is overtaking me Why can you still not see?
I walked over to you today I tried my best to say What I wanted to Those three words, "I love you"
But you don't understand So many things getting outta hand You told me this couldn't be true I know, cause if it were, I'd have you
On my way out of school You made me feel like a fool You stopped your car in front of me I tried my best to pretend I didn't see
You standing there with her in hand That was too much, I couldn't stand The thought of you with another Perhaps I'm being too much of a bother
The next day I looked over to your face You had a caring grin, so filled with grace But it wasn't me that made you feel this way It was that girl, that one, that day
You just wanted a quiet place But you saved me and I could keep my pace I can't believe you helped me through And were there for me, even though you knew
That you did not feel the same The way I wanted to play the game Somehow my feelings turned out like this I wish it were more, so I wouldn't miss
All the things that I wish could be But you're so blind, you still can't see That fact that I wanted to say to you Those three words, "I love you"

XD thanx. I'm actually on writer's block..so I haven't been writing much lately...
this is a song...^^" What Lies Ahead For Me I sat there waiting, all morning, all day Suddenly I saw you walking past, what could I say? Your arm was around her, Her hand in your hand I just couldn't believe, I couldn't understand
Chorus: I can't believe all the things you're doing You don't know that I know I walk away What lies ahead for me
The next day, you walked over to me, Told me how you had somewhere else to be I knew you were lyin', I quickly tried walking away You pulled me over and said, "I'm sorry. Are we okay?"
[Chorus]
I sat by myself on the steps the next morning Waiting for someone to lend out a hand Hoping to see a smiling face You walk over to me slowly, head down
Bridge: You made me smile You made me see what I couldn't before You made me see the things around me That I can't believe in anymore You said it was true love, A real thing that exists It seems you lied again, How could you do this to me?
[Chorus] It just wasn't meant to be I needed to remember What lies ahead for me What lies ahead for me

Another new one...
No Way to Hide Remembering all those things you said that day I couldn't believe you would say You pretended everything was the same Not making a fuss, telling me that what I did was stupid and lame
You told me of things you wanted to be The things we had that I couldn't see I told you to wait, well, you said you would I didn't believe it, but I could, and I should
Without a doubt, I didn't know How easily our conversation began to grow I wanted you here, right beside me But I know it's true, it'll never be
To see your face with a genuine smile Something I've wished to see for a while I can't smile, I can't figure out why Perhaps it's because I'm telling myself this lie
I know what you're saying, I know how you feel I know all about wanting something that's not real But just seeing your face Leaves me with this feeling of so much grace
I wish this could end But it doesn't seem to bend This feeling I have deep inside There's just no way I can seem to hide

Yeah...apparently, I'm in a very depressed state, and I didn't even realize it. XD My friend told me that writing must be my output...for stress and depression, because I don't actually show it when I'm talking to someone face-to-face. ^^"

A 'Happy Birthday' to Me It's already been another year Another year without you near Wishing this year would be the one But you again seem to be on the run
Not even wishing me a 'Happy Birthday' Not telling me what I hoped to hear you say That's right, you forgot what today meant to me The year I'd hope for us to be
But you were there that day I was hoping to say But you wuickly left and didn't seem to care A sight I just couldn't bare
I knew this was gonna happen I never do win Another day, that just happens to be a 'Happy Birthday' to me
----
A Cure Gathering up my courage just to tell you But you couldn't answer my feelings too I'd wanted something much more than this You, someone I've been coming to miss
I'd wanted to tell you, so long ago But I couldn't do it, kept telling myself "No!" Afraid you'd no longer want to be my friend Thinking that this would be an eternal end
But you said, "No", just like I thought you would No one could be sure, but I could, and I should I knew it would happen, I was just so sure But I knew that this would be the only cure
----
Something There Looking out my window that day You stood down below even though the day seemed so gray It was snowing once again harder this time One lonely figure wanting to stand by my side
Chorus: When I saw your face A smile appeared Gently you waved, nodding your head It seemed like time had stopped Something I couldn't believe There was something there that I just hadn't seen
It continued to snow and snow Called you up and you slowly walked over to my door It was open, I was waiting for you outside You told me "Hurry, come on, it's cold, let's get inside."
[Chorus]
Sat down at my table, I offered you some tea Quickly taking it in your hand, drinking it simply I took a look outside the window, the snow continued to fall You said, "Don't worry it'll end eventually."
Bridge: Those words you said that day hit me quite hard I wasn't sure how to respond No easy way to go about it You said "Don't worry, it'll end eventually." Is that everything Including you and me?
...I haven't written much since last time. XD

Wow, it's been...awhile since I've been around. XD
Don't Say Goodbye Wanting you to understand how I feel Had to keep telling myself that this was real You walked away, broke into a run Leaving me in the mist of the sun
Why did you run away like that? You laughed and tried to hide it Why don't you tell me the truth? Instead of running away? In my heart I can't stop thinking about you Please don't say goodbye
You saw me that day, turned the other way Finally got you to stop, and listen to what I had to say All of a sudden, I was speechless "What's wrong?" you asked, looking into my eyes
Why did you run away like that? You laughed and tried to hide it Why don't you tell me the truth? Instead you ran away At the bottom of my heart I can't stop thinking about you Please don't say goodbye
I tried saying tha I'm alright but That's not possible, right? Let's not speak so stiffly Always, just as we are, like this
Why did you run away like that? You laughed and tried to hide it Why don't you tell me the truth? Instead of running away In my heart I can't stop thinking about you Please don't say goodbye
----
Always Tears I've been wanting to tell you this for a while now But was unsure how to tell you With all the building up of pain and tears Should it not just end?
Chorus: There are always tears after But it doesn't end Why do we still fall in love again? Closing my eyes, I can only imagine You by my side
When I want you by my side You're not around, I close my eyes I want a tomorrow that can turn back time But it's impossible
Bridge: We shouldn't give up on a hopeless love That's what I've decided Believe in me
Chorus: There are always tears after But it doesn't end Why do we still fall in love again? Closing my eyes, I can only imagine You by my side
There are always tears after But it doesn't end Why do we still fall in love again? Closing my eyes, I can only imagine You by my side
I don't need anything as long as you're here...
-----
Passage of Time The past that I had hidden behind me I didn't think anyone would care The things that happened then were to be That's just one way I've come to see
You were around when no one else was there I couldn't say a thing, but nothing needed to be said The things that you did made it seem like you care Finally someone's come to understand
The time spent together, time passed by so fast Though at times I wondered where you were The way things happened I couldn't believe it'd last But the way we were wasn't too bad
At first I couldn't find the words to say What it was that I'd wanted to say So many things I never thought I'd see But you were always there for me
