Pumpkins

I'm leaping through pumpkin isles,
I look back and I see you smile.
You tell me that I look like a baby deer.
I turn around and go back to you,
I start playfully punching you,
And you pretend that I've broken you.

You take me by the hand,
And you show me a pumpkin I might like.
I smile and I see you feel satisfied.
You tell me that it was nothing but that you tried,
And I hug you with all my might
And you pretend that I've broken you.

Boy, I'm as little as anyone could be.
Why do you keep teasing me?
But anyways I keep on smiling.
I poke you around your chest,
Wondering if you've got pecks,
Then you pretend that I've broken you!

Again I say, boy, I'm not that strong.
I'm as little as the town I'm from.
Then you see my face
And grab me around my waist.

He tickles me every where!
I think the words, but I do not swear.
I'm laughing until my ribs really hurt.
I tell him, boy, I think you've broken me,
I can't seem to get back on my feet,
C'mon, I'm as little as anyone could be.

Then you sit up right,
Look me in the eyes,
And you take my hand so gently.
Here I am, looking you in the eyes,
You don't understand how much
My butterflies rise.

He says, "Girl, you've broken me,
Why can't we just already be?
I'm here waiting for you to be mine.
I see your eyes are beautiful,
Take my hand, you're something more...
Then just a friend.
Girl, I'm broken...
For you."

Blocked

There is really less to say,
I've written what I've had on my plate.
Writing was a filter for all my love.
But everything's already lifted into the sky above.

It's not that I've lost my love,
It's not that I can't write.
It's thinking of more things to say,
And saying it right.

I've been strewn down
Because of not knowing
What else to express.
I'm feeling empty and burdened,
Speechless and compressed.

Writer's block.
That's what this is.
Not knowing what to write,
Not knowing what else to express.
Speechless and compressed.

Don't Shoot Me Down

Cuz I will fall,
I'm not the master of it all.
Here I am with all my love,
But you don't understand it's true.
All that I am is here for you,
Nothing about anybody else is real.
I keep telling you what I feel,
And it's like you don't believe me.
I'm not bulletproof,
I've got you to lose,
And I never want that to happen.
I love you, and that's the truth.
Just believe in my words,
Let my heart be heard.

Wrapped In Love

I'm wrapped in your arms tonight,
Beneath these star-studded skies I'm all right.
We're perfect where we are,
We don't need no fancy car.
We stay in eachother's arms all night.
I love the way you kiss my cheek,
As if everything in this world is at our feet.
You never disappoint my beaming heart,
You never step back and break me apart.
You love me and you care for me,
That's the reason why I'm always happy.
I'm always happy because of you,
That's why I know that all of this love is true.

You wrap me in your arms all night long,
I knew we'd never get this true love wrong.

Battle Scars

Battling unearthed wars is demanding.
Step inside my mind, see where I'm standing.
Believe in my instinct just once,
Understand where I'm coming from.
Take a shot for me as I would for you.
But those are things you can't do,
You won't do.

Be still in my presence.
Watch my eyes, see them break,
See them cry.
Look beyond my flesh,
Be there to catch my breath.
Hold my hand before I fall.
See this heart go through it all.

Battle through my broken smiles.
Break into my heart,
Tear me apart,
And fix me all over again.
Understand this place I'm coming from.
Patch my wounds just enough.
Feel my mind racing up mountains.
Observe my heart through rising actions.

I'm not saying that I'm at war.
Just scent my thoughts, feelings, worries.
Believe in my love, my choice of words.
Hold my heart closer to yours.
Resharpen tormented swords,
And bask in present glory.

This Boy

And I got a single glimpse of sweet love tonight.

I can't understand it all at one time, though.

But he kissed my lips with a smile,

And held me back against the wall.

He took my hand and it felt as if he'd never let go.

He breathed and it felt as if he'd live to be forever mine.

Forever in time, forever beside me.

This boy, he truly loved me.

This boy, he truly adored me.

This boy, this boy I'd never let him go.

He made me feel truly in love,

But I can't understand it all at one time, though.

But here I am, falling in more love than I truly really know,

With this boy.

Arise

Arise my deep soul,
Stay alive, stay whole.
Write from within your heart,
Write like there was no start.
Believe in me, believe in us.
Achieve greater things,
More than what you can trust.
Arise sweet soul,
Make the secrets unfold,
And build a mindset to tell of the untold.
Arise brave soul,
Know that you have what it takes,
To believe and achieve in something great.
