Flashbacks

Flashbacks,

Memories from the past,

Makes you remember why it didn’t last.

Struggle to stay afloat,

Too many times the words were said,

Its these memories that still float in my head.

Flashbacks,

Memories from the past,

Makes you remember why it didn’t last.

The times I tried,

Countless conversations you didn’t listen,

Had to make a life changing decision.

Flashbacks,

Memories from the past,

Makes you remember why it didn’t last.

You say you have changed,

How I remember those words being said,

Time and time again.

Flashbacks,

Memories from the past,

Makes you remember why it didn’t last.

Beautiful Scene

Feels amazing,

How someone makes you feel.

The feeling you get when you see them,

Butterflies it may be,

Or magic like you see on TV.

Fire works on the fourth of July,

Time Square and the midnight sky.

A beautiful scene,

Like the mountains in the Rockies,

Or the stars in a clear sky.

Beach front in Maui,

Snow in the Alps.

Smile to my face,

Calmness to my heart.

I do not want to rush,

Only a simple brush,

When you past by to know I am there,

Just to feel that you are there.

Sparks of joy,

Times of fun.

Want to have the feeling of a slam dunk.

Book

All this thinking,

Making me want to explode,

Must keep a positive flow,

Running out of ideas,

And things to say,

Guess now its just counting down the days.

Hard to gauge,

Difficult to read,

Some days are full of uncertainty,

Plenty of laughs,

Lots of looks,

Short conversations,

Dramatic speech,

What does this all really mean?

Feelings you show are hard to read,

Like a long book with tiny font,

Why do you seem to put up a front,

Hard to breach walls,

Not fair to the rest,

Don’t live on past events,

Might lose the future you seek.

On track with a positive look,

Much like a really good book.

One that you can’t put down,

Must stay on the read,

A fantastic adventure,

Wild fantasies,

Comic relief for the tough times that will be,

Sorrow and grief for the times we try to avoid as we meet,

Pleasure and pain,

Lose then train,

These thought in the brain,

Winning is all that is left in order to maintain.

Good Luck

Flip a coin,

What are the odds,

Seems like the feelings I see from a far,

Heads one day,

Tails the other,

Keep on flipping,

Feeling might stay,

Or just change,

Test your luck,

What’s the reward,

Life is a gamble,

But yours is stuck on hold,

Wants to move on,

“Luck” isn’t on your side,

Just flip a coin,

And let it decide,

Might as well because your killing me,

This indecisive mentality,

Make a decision and make it quick,

I have already laid down my chips,

Not quiet all in,

But the pot is big,

Place a bet and test your luck,

Chances with a coin are in your favor,

So just flip that coin,

And make your call,

Let’s see if your luck is good luck after all.

Not Mine

I take it step by step,

Not wanting to rush,

Take my time so I don’t mess up.

Out of my league one might see,

But I see thing differently.

I know what I can bring,

Just a chance and no uncertainty,

What I see in you is something I must say.

It’s not hard to explain,

Just difficult to say,

Your presence makes me smile,

Your eyes I need to gaze,

Your smiles brightens my day.

Perfect in my eyes,

Yet not mine…

My Mind

Sorry to say but I am the one to blame,

For allowing feelings to grow.

Misguided,

But no wrong intention.

Only the thought of friendship crossed my mind.

But I knew something before,

Before you even asked,

And that is what led me to the conclusion I have.

Someday you will light up someone’s world,

With a smile that can make a man twirl.

Eyes to get lost in,

But not me not right now.

Because someone else occupies my mind.

Twist

Funny how things play out,

When you think you have it all planned out,

Something comes up quick,

And life takes a twist.

No matter how much you plan,

No matter how long you wait,

Things never seem to go your way,

Agenda at hand,

Pencil to write,

Don’t use a pen because you will scratch off twice,

Funny how things play out,

When you think you have it all planned out,

Something comes up quick,

And life takes a twist.

Life in the fast lane,

Better move quick,

Jack be nibble,

Jack be quick,

Moving so fast,

Didn’t bother to think about the past,

Funny how things play out,

When you think you have it all planned out,

Something comes up quick,

And life takes a twist.

Scary on what the future may hold,

No one will ever know,

Just live life day by day,

Because tomorrow is not promised today.

Learn from the past,

Act on the future.

One never knows how their life will end up.

Because its funny how things play out,

When you think you have it all planned out,

Something comes up quick,

And life takes a twist.

The Rest

Don’t know how you do it,

Somehow you control me.

The meer thought has me on one knee,

A feeling that can’t be explained,

One that may make one go insane.

You and only you to blame,

I can’t seem to figure it out,

How my life just flipped upside down.

Down to earth,

Humble and sweet,

These are things you show towards me,

I want so much more,

But things don’t look so good.

You don’t seem to share the same feelings as I do.

I could keep trying,

But all I do is fail.

Why do I seem so strong yet am so frail.

Why is it that certain people bring out a different scale.

One that is hard to balance,

Tough to read,

Hard to grasp,

Not easy to see.

Plan for the future some might say,

But how does on plan for something they don’t know,

Just guess and hope its going their way.

How can you predict the future if you are living now,

And at the same time forget about the past and the things that make you frown,

Life is simple,

Short and sweet,

Its what you make it to be.

So learn from your past,

Never wait until tomorrow,

You don’t know if it will wait for you,

So enjoy life now and don’t let good things slip through.

For you don’t know if the one that was waiting left you.

Don’t dwell on your past to avoid the new,

For this can cause you to truly lose,

Ignoring the signs presented to you,

Will cause more stress onto you,

Give now a chance,

And pray for the best,

One may never know if now is better than what you will ever get.

Night

Its all coming together,

These feeling I hold inside,

Questions answered by those from the outside,

Funny how things play out,

When you play all alone,

Seems like no one is on your side,

And nothing goes your way,

Only get piled up with more on your mind,

There is no escape,

Like trapped in a maze,

Labyrinth at that,

Being chased by a monitor,

Hoping you don’t get trapped.

But I’m trapped in a maze,

Does that make me amazing?

But my mind is clearing up,

Fog lights still on,

Have a long trip ahead,

Road goes on and on.

Bumps along the way,

I am sure of that,

Try and limit those bugs hitting the windshield,

So my vision isn’t so blurry,

And I can steer the wheel,

In the right direction I suppose,

Weaving through traffic,

Life speeding up,

Life in the fast lane,

Can’t catch up,

But I need to slow down,

And take things slow.

For I am in need of something,

So stay in the right lane,

And watch others go past,

And hope someone notices when they past by,

So I don’t have to travel home alone,

When I travel at night.
