Lovesong Poetry

"The Weapon" by Neil Peart

We've got nothing to fear...but fear itself?
Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy?
Not the faulty units in this mad machinery?
Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry?

With an iron fist in a velvet glove
We are sheltered under the gun
In the glory game on the power train
Thy kingdom's will be done

And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held against us...

He's not afraid of your judgment
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell
He's a little bit afraid of dying
But he's a lot more afraid of your lying

And the things that he fears are a weapon to be held against him...

Can any part of life be larger than life?
Even love must be limited by time
And those who push us down that they might climb
Is any killer worth more than his crime?

Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
We don't see what they're made of
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove
They live for the things they're afraid of

And the knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used against them...

You Belong Here - A letter from a father to a son
By: Lowanla (me)​

Somethings good is calling you, drawing you
so deeply, some place you
were meant for, and that was meant for you.
You spent your life in compromise
cause you wanted something new,
and now you're stuck in time
you feel so unforgiven..
You want to turn back time,
rewind and undo what was done,
You found a little hope in something,
and you want to move forward,
cause you were brought to life.
but the guilt stops you, you ask
"how can I be forgiven? How could you forgive me.."​

"I've forgiven you son...along time ago.."​

Let me wash the dirt off your face
with the many tears I've been saving just for you
I've been waiting for you son,
I can see you watching behind the door
you long to come inside,
I've been waiting for you for so long
We'll all go home, home where you truly
belong. Where I made you
to sing for me many songs.​

I made you for me, and I've been waiting for you,
to come back home,
You know you don't belong where you are at,
all alone and unloved, you are hated for the great
love in your heart that comes from me...
Because I still live inside your heart.
That hope you breath into others,
that life...that life comes from me..​

Home, is a place
where you and I matter and are alone.
Where you will be safe in these arms,
where you belong, where you belong.
Home, son.
What you were meant for, created for,
where you belong.​

What Love Really Means
Lyrics by: JJ Heller​

http://youtu.be/PgGUKWiw7Wk​

He cries in the corner where nobody sees
He's the kid with the story
No one would believe
He prays every night
"Dear God won't you please
Could you send someone here
Who will love me?"​

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done
Or what I will become
Who will love me for me
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means​

Her office is shrinking a little each day
She's the woman whose husband has run away
She'll go to the gym after working today
Maybe if she was thinner
Then he would've stayed
And she says... ​

Who will love me for me
Not for what I have done
Or what I will become
Who will love me for me
'Cause nobody has shown me what love
What love really means
What love really means​

He's waiting to die as he sits all alone
He's a man in a cell who regrets what he's done
He utters a cry from the depths of his soul
"Oh Lord, forgive me, I want to go home"​

Then he heard a voice somewhere deep inside
And it said,
"I know you've murdered and I know you've lied
And I have watched you suffer all of your life
And now that you're listening
I'll, I'll tell you that I..."​

I will love you for you
Not for what you have done
Or what you will become

I will love you for you
I will give you the love
The love that you never knew

Love you for you
Not for what you have done
Or what you will become

I will love you for you
I will give you the love

The love that you never knew...​

(I just need to get my wierdo thoughts out..thats all )​

I'm not a good person
By: Lowanla (me)​

I'm a bad person
I am the evil one
I am the monster
I crush spirits, stay away from me...
you can't be nice to me...
I hurt people cause I'm cruel,
I can make no amends,​

I am the one who causes all the pain
its my fault I am the monster
the lady the world should all hate​

So much trouble, she, I, me
not worth the time or effort
do not look at me
or I will crush your dreams
and lock you behind mirrors​

thirteen swirling vortexes all lined in a row,
one two month frozen storm,
splitting clouds like butter,
I hate electricity, I hate peoples thoughts,
I hate seeing people in dreams,
Feeling too many feelings,
even when others like me are nosy
to come pester me,
cause they think they relate
and think they can control me,
I wish I could do what I'm suppose to,
but I'm afraid.​

It hurts cause I can't do everything,
I can't be like you,
I can't have nice things...
I can't fix everything,
I can't do everything..​

I can't save everyone...
I can't...​

Untitled song
by: Lowanla (me)​

Bind me, drag me, move it along,
run along restless heart until
you've become bored with yet..another one.
Break these chains that you've bound me with,
the strongest walls raise up to blind your kiss
keep away from me, you are breaking me
No more flame no more fire, nor desire,
You will forget you ever thought of me,
forget, forget me and move along as if I didn't exist,
me you shall never miss, move along
back into anothers arms and find happiness,
..find bliss.​

I must kick myself for this. Oh well..
*cracks* Xp​

Longing
by Matthew Arnold
Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.​

Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me!​

Or, as thou never cam'st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth,
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say, My love why sufferest thou?​

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again!
For so the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day. ​

Revenant Return
By: Lowanla (me)​

My Love do not hate me
for all my fears
These are my greatest fears,
that if you and I were together,
you would become miserable
and dispair broken, and succumb
to sorrowful demise.
...I don't want to be the cause.
I can't bare the thought.
In these thoughts I am haunted.
I don't want to lose you entirely.
I'd rather you be here,
to prevent I would give anything,
that is why I push you away..
Forgive my dispair, I slip into fits of insanity
from these thoughts, I cannot bare.​

This hand, your hand I press upto my face
this heart, your heart is sweet and I love it,
I love you for closely you keep me.
Consoling all my fears away till I am sleeping.
even though you will never believe me..​

Always searching for ways for you,
what could I do, what must I do?
Happy with you miserable without you,
fear the misery I know you feel for me,
I love you.​

You're worth every love line, <3​

Heres to the Chase
by: Lowanla (me)​

Nothing is fair to the ones who love the most
No things are spared, when reality freezes cold
Sacred is left on the other side of the road
for insanity, and empty actions that never get old
times wasted on the love, wandering the road to nowhere
and I don't wanna move cause I feel like I'm getting somewhere..​

For what cost, For the past,
Show how long love will last
For a love, and embrace,
Here's a drink, heres to the chase
For the cost, For the past
Show how long love will last
For a love, and embrace,
Here's a drink, Heres to the chase​

Frozen in time there is no time to press rewind
One step could cause the ice to break through
Chase away the fears over again one more time,
cause you've already been through the motions,
but its my first time getting use to 'realities cruel',
and I still feel like I'm getting somewhere with you.​

For what cost, For the past,
Show how long love will last
For a love, and embrace,
Here's a drink, heres to the chase
For the cost, For the past
Show how long love will last
For a love, and embrace,
Here's a drink, Heres to the chase​

Irresistible Evils
by: Lowanla (me)​

All words are evil
so speak no evil...
but sometimes evil
is a fruit too irresistible..​

How far can hearts be tested until they break?
We'll stretch and shake until we've crossed the line,
but how far can love go?
because we've gone too far this time
Love me with your hateful evils
till all fear's venom bleeds out
I'm for your truth cause then I'll know
how we can work this out..​

I believe in you, do you believe in me?
I believe in you, do you believe in me?
I believe in you, believe in me,
you love me,You don't have to trust me,
just believe in me, cause I believe in you, you.​

I'll die to me just to fit the puzzle piece in your mysterious heart
thanks to you I'm growing up into a wise adult, I'm changing
What happens to our patience when we get burnt down and out?
We are still here and we are still staring at each other sorry
Say try again, rediscover then recover one another,
till we fit our beautiful scheme, over again, again​

I believe in you, do you believe in me?
I believe in you, do you believe in me?
I believe in you, believe in me,
you love me,You don't have to trust me,
just believe in me, cause I believe in you, you.​

Say try - again
Rediscover one another,
recover one another,
till we fit our beautiful scheme
over again, again...​

Fear
by: Lowanla (me)

Your words define me
they refuel me, recharge me
your actions bring out the best of me
they torment me, they deny me,
the world and everybody
draws out and shapes the real me
I am the embodiment of fear
it runs in my veins,
It lives within me,
It is who I am
I am tangible anxiety
I am reminded I am segregated
no matter how I try to be good,
I'll always never be good enough
to fit the way everybody fits nor
to stand where you stood,
always no matter where I go
worlds cruel names bring me peace
the labels give me personality,
can you control fear,
if it rushes like a river, or burns like eternal flame?
I accept me, for it protects me,
reality empowers me, reminds me
...I am alone.​

(for my guy)​

You're Perfect
By: Lowanla (me)​

You are perfect the way you are,
but if you must have my approval,
You are somebody to me,
How I wish you could see what I see.
You are created to be exactly
who you know yourself to be.
That in there lies a dilemma,
for what gods fear self realization?
when they deem true beauty as idolatry
fear the ones who are not afraid to be.​

It is because you care about me
you are a friend so very close to me
you are always nice to me,
that is why I am in love with you,
that is why you are perfect to me.​

Look into the mirror and smile
Love yourself and see
Why be afraid to be who you are,
when everything is staged dramatic art,
So dream if you must,
we are all fitted a role to play a part,
The only one you need approval
is the one you see in the mirror daily,
regardless if it matters, I love you,
you are perfect the way you are.​

Pride
by: Lowanla (me)​

Whats the one thing that can crumble kingdoms?
when we are dancing on volcanoes
just to prove love's real we'll run into tornadoes
dangers are nothing when points have to be made​

Save yourself, commanding you
demanding you, deliver yourself
not asking you, telling you
walk away, live for today
save yourself, save yourself,​

The past has nothing on modern times
it just gets in the way and ruins, confuses and blinds,
don't want to chase you away, want you to be fulfilled and live,
destroy pride, we'll be fine..in time.
we'll be fine, in time.
in time we'll be fine,​

Save yourself, commanding you
demanding you, deliver yourself
not asking you, telling you
walk away, live for today
save yourself, save yourself,​

we'll be fine...in time..​

The Truth is..
by: Lowanla (me)

The truth is
I don't want to let go
the thought of it hurts so much
the pain cycles and tears
my insides
there is no reason to let go
just ...fear

the truth is
I just want you to know
I am thinking of you first
but it still hurts
it hurts ..

the pain is too much sometimes
too many thoughts cycle this crazy mind
the truth is..

when practicality and reality
rise against and crush lovely dreams
I'd rather you be temporarily hurt
and angry at me

than to be happy and suffering destroyed,
and saying you are 'okay' but actually lying to me
cause I know you are the kind
to put another first
then to think of yourself,

you are unselfish...

this is the truth
it hurts, its painful, the love is real,
it hurt the last time too,
cause every single day i was without
I cried for you,
it hurts, even just to think it..
​

Pity Me Not
by: Lowanla (me)​

pity me not​

You promised me...
you would never take pity on me,
but when I am crushed, lonely, and broken,
you rush in, to fill the void and comfort me
I know this is because you love me, but..​

pity me not​

is it because you are guilty
for leaving me lonely?
don't blame yourself for my anguish,
its not your fault there is something wrong with me..
I do not blame you for anything.​

pity me not​

I love you, I don't want to be a burden to you,
I love you, I love you, I do.
you love me, you love, me too,
Its okay, its okay, its okay.
It will be okay.​
