[Verse 1]
I'm stealing a glance at you whenever I can
And loving the feeling when you touch my hand,
Oh, and you just snuck me a look so sly
I actually got butterflies!
Oh, God, this is so unlike me,
Somebody please tell me what's happening!
[Verse 2]
'Cause now I'm red and my face feels hot
And I can't stop a smile from spreading to my lips…
When you look t me I avert my eyes,
I just get so goddamn shy;
I honestly can't explain why
You're having this effect on me…
[Chorus]
And it's been like this since we first met;
I was so afraid I was being way too obvious!
But I guess that's all okay
Now I know you feel the same

She's Growing Away from Me
[Verse 1]
Little sister, please don't cry
Can't stand to look into those sad, blue eyes
And this is not, this can't be 'goodbye'
We'll meet again soon; I'm not telling lies
But now you don't look so convinced,
So listen closely and let me promise you this:
[Chorus]
I promise I'll be there every step of the way
To talk with you everyday
To know everything, what's going on?
To keep up our special sisterly bond
'Cause I don't want to miss a thing,
But let's face it, I don't know what's happening
And I'm missing almost everything;
I'm missing you, I'm missing you growing up!
[Verse 2]
Oh, please don't hate me for running away

[Verse 1]
Sister, could you ever forigve me
For leaving you the way I did?
Oh, I just feel so guilty,
'Cause I just ran away and hid.
[Verse 2]
And I'm so sorry,
I just had to save myself...
Honestly, I'd no idea
You'd fall victim to their abuse...
[Chorus]
If only I hadn't run away,
I know I could save you from the pain
'Cause that'd be me in you place;
Can't believe how I left you in my haste
To start a new life,
Away from all the strife
caused be the abuse
You are now having to go through...
[Verse 3]
Oh, you couldn't know how much I want
Only to go back and be with you,
Or how it kills me that I can't
Stick by yo
[Verse 1]
Little girl, only just fifteen,
Her innocence shattered by the violence she's seen.
There used to be a time she had hopes and dreams,
But her spirit's been broken,
Abused and stolen
[Verse 2]
Little girl, well she never did cry,
Just stuck it out while she died inside
And that little girl, she's never said a word
About the shit she's seen
Or the crap she's heard
[Chorus]
And now there's nothing that anyone can say
To make her feel better or to take away her pain,
She's forever changed in the very worst way:
Kinda fucked up and not really sane
And it's sad 'cause she's still just a kid;
It's really not her fault
[Verse 1]
It started with a walk to the pond,
Staring at the water from the safety of your arms;
And later cuddled on the living room couch,
I watched you play your favorite game,
Whilst sneaking kisses inbetween.
[Verse 2]
And when your sister brought in her pet snake,
I thought I would almost faint,
Though I forgave her when she made that bowl
Of sweet cookie dough
And we shared yummy cookie dough kisses...
(And)
[Chorus]
Feeling your hand in my hand,
I never want to let this end,
'Cause it just feels so perfect;
Don't want to ever stop this!
So let's make this last forever,
Let's make this last forever...

'Don't Want To Burden You'
{Verse 1:}
I'm so grateful that I have you
To always cheer me up when I'm feeling blue,
But I don't want to burden you
By having to deal with all my s#t (https://www.deviantart.com/t) too
But you always take my hand and say - "it's okay," -
Look into my eyes and tell me, "come what may"
{Chorus:}
But that can't stop me feeling bad
About ruining you day or making you sad
By letting you in on all my personal problems
When you couldn't possibly begin to solve them,
Even though I know you'll try,
Wiping away the tears as I fall into you and cry
{Verse 2:}
And I'm so thankful for your arms around me
Like you want so much to protect me
From my never ending tor
{Stanza 1:}
If someday I chose to return to this place,
Would you welcome me and forgive my mistakes?
Or would you tell me that I'd made my bed;
That you don't want me back and I should go instead?
{Stanza 2:}
Because I know I left to find something better
Than the life I thought I lived with you,
But since I've been gone my spirit's been shattered
And as for my dreams - not one of them has come true.
{Stanza 3:}
And though it's sad, I finally know:
The only only place I ever had a chance was by your side
Because nothing has changed and I feel so low,
But I realized this only after all the nights that I cried.
{Stanza 4:}
And
{Verse 1:}
In the morning you roll out of bed,
Confusion in your head,
And you have no clue what you should do -
And it seems like you've got so many problems
With no way to solve them,
But we've all had days like that, too!
{Chorus:}
'Cause this life!
In it you will face obstacles and strife,
Sometimes you'll want to scream and shout
Others you'll just want a way on out -
But what you don't know 'bout bad times such as those
Is that they're make the good times so good
And that's what makes life worth living...
{Verse 2:}
And I know what people always seem to say
When you've had a bad day
And all you really want to do is cr
{Verse 1:}
As children you taught us fear,
Ignoring the hurt in every tear,
Trying so hard to believe you were right
As you tried to block out our cries at night
{Verse 2:}
Yeah, you turned a blind eye to our lonely cries
For even something like a short lullabye,
Always pretending never to hear our pleas
For some sort of sweet relief
(And tell me)
{Chorus:}
What did we ever do to you
To make you treat us the way you do?
To have deserved this kind of punishment
From the time we were just little kids?
Did we somehow wrong you in another life?
Just give me one good reason why!
{Verse 3:}
And it seems like maybe you were neve

A Poem For My Brother
One day I hope you'll feel differently about your situation
And get out of bed with a newfound sense of motivation
To go back and finish what you left undone
And come out of it feeling like you have won
But you have to do it all by yourself,
No one else can do it for you or offer you help
You have to want to do it way deep down
Instead of only wanting to spend your time messing around
Now tell me: don't you want to be a success?
Grow up to be respectable and beat all the rest?
No, you just want to get rich as quick and easy as you can,
But then you have to change your attitude and be a man
And don't you realize that you're just re
