Mistake

She was just simple
A girl with pretty dimples
With big blue eyes
Will never witness she'd cry
With her shiny blonde hair
White as snow, so fair
A smile so perfect
Keep a picture in your locket

Was born on a summer day
A beautiful girl, they say
Her parents, rich and happy
Staring at her eyes, deep as sea
"Oh our daughter," they exclaimed
"Grow up, young men will claim!"
At five, learned how to read
At ten, turned into a flower from a seed
But fate do change
And good things fade
That little girl so sweet
Turned into a horrible creep
At sixteen, ran away
Never came back until five days
Her parents, disappointed
Expectations, being haunted
What happened to their daughter?
Now worrying her mother and father
Beautiful blonde hair she had
Now charcoal jet black; how sad
Black lipstick on her lips
Her top never reached her hips
Eyeliner on her face
Oh, there are no more ways
For that girl to go back
Yet love she did lack
Her parents forsaking her
Her parents disowning her
So at seventeen, she left truly
And life treated her cruelly
Lived on the streets, she did
From cops, she hid
No, friends, no family, no love
Only drugs and cigarettes, she have
But she never did one thing
Because even though she's sad and hurting
She never poured down her tears
Even she faced her deepest fears
At night, she's cold on the streets
At morning, dying from the heat
Nobody took pity
On the girl who was pretty
One night she did gave up
Her patience over the top
So to the club she danced
Not only one time, but more than once
Then somebody came in
She danced at him like sin
He took her home at night
Made love to her as if it was right
When morning came
She didn't feel the same
She tried to leave, to go
But he refused, no
Timidly, she had asked why
As tears almost welled up, ready to cry
He touched her face
Smiled at her like grace
And said, "You'll be okay,
I'll protect you, day by day."
And so she stopped working
At the club she used to be dancing
But now she knows how to love
And experienced again to be loved
But then again, fate do change
And good people fade
He was killed in an accident
And just like that, he went
Leaving her all alone
Cold and hard as stone
And only then she did cry
And after, she sighed
Wiped the tears away
Doesn't care what others would say
But she'd live and move on
Stop acting as the devil's spawn
And just go back to her parents
So the next day to the train she went
A broken eighteen year old
Who used to be a rebel
Now meant well
As she go back to her mother and father
She wasn't the perfect daughter

Then again, no one's perfect
Perfection isn't in a manual booklet 
Make mistakes and learn from it
You will find the love you seek.

Forever Yours

I close my eyes and remember those days
Those days when we were innocent and free
Why does all good things have to end?
Why do you have to leave?

I put my hands on my hair and remember the touches
The touches that made my skin tingle
Why does all good things important to me fade away?
Why do you have to go away?

I open my eyes and shake my head
No use of wondering, remembering
You're never coming back anyway
A tear escapes my eyes

I get up from bed and walk
Walk to my window to watch
Watch your mother and sister crying
Your father and brother follows

I look up to the large yellow sun
I look up to the clear blue skies
Why does this day has to be so beautiful?
Supposed to be dreary, sad

A knock came from my door
Immediately wipe my eyes
I open my door and see
My mother with a sad smile

I nod, understanding
She nods back and pats my hair
I step out of my room
Follow my mother out of the house

The whole town is sad
Giving me sympathetic looks
Try to ignore them, I did
But it is just too hard

The whole town came
Mother and I in the front row
Your family beside us
As the ceremony went on

Then the time came
When I stand up and walk
To the coffin where you lay
Lifeless, cold, dead

Tears starts to stream down
Why do you have to go?
And be killed in the war?
You don't deserve to be

As I watch you there
As if you were sleeping
Can't help remembering the days
The days we spent together

We were both seven
Your family moved
To the house next to mine
Curiosity crept to me

We instantly became friends
You were my hero
Those mischievous blue eyes
Those wavy blonde hair

We were fifteen
When you started showing signs
Signs that you like me
Signs that you want me

Then five years passed
We were both seventeen
You gave me my first kiss
I felt flying, so happy

Now I am eighteen
You swore you'd marry me
And in my finger
Slipped a silver ring

But then the war came
It was 1941
All eighteen-year-old boys and above
Have to go to war, have to fight

Before you left, a kiss you gave
Promised you were coming home
And when you'd arrive
You'd marry me

But three weeks of worrying
Three weeks of praying
Your younger brother came
Said you died in the war

I collapsed to a chair
Looked up at your brother
He must be lying
You wouldn't die

But the soldiers took your body
Back to your parents
The whole town saw
Your mother crying in anguish

The memories I try to push away
And focus on the present
I lean closer to your coffin
"I love you forever," I whisper

I turn away, as my mother came
Buries me into a hug
Promises everything is going to be okay
But I know it wouldn't

So later that night
I go to bed, carrying your picture
Lay it beside me
A picture tells a thousand of words

I raised the glass I'm holding
And pour the violet liquid
I bought at the store this morning
And look down to your picture

We can still have our forever
But it wouldn't be here on Earth
Closing my eyes, I drink
And everything turn black
And I only see your face.

His and Her Story

Her:
I used to wake up in morning
My heart filled with longing
And now my heart breaks
The love I knew was fake
I always gave
He always take
Never had something in return
So finally I just turned
Turned away from my love
My one and only dove
And now I feel empty
Always did when he left me
How did it all began?
Those things before he was gone?
Be quiet and I'll tell you
I loved him, I always do

I met him one summer day
Recalled in seventh of May
The first time he came
From then on, never the same
Different he was from the others
Knew I'd never look for another
I thought he had love me
But why didn't I see?
I was just too blind, my dear
And the result are tears
Used my heart, not my mind
Thought he's the love I used to find
But realized it was wrong
Like an out-of-tune song
But who can blame me, I ask?
I fell in love - truly fast
Realized I was damn stupid
Thought he'd been struck by Cupid
Closed my eyes; my weak knees
He took my hand and kissed me
But it was only a game
And I was helplessly tamed

I opened my eyes, now wide
My swollen eyes when I cried
Closed my eyes once again
My heart wouldn't be mend

Him:
I used to wake up in morning
My heart was just singing
And now I can't feel a thing
Not even my broken wings
She always gave
I always take
She never had something in return
So she finally just turned
I should have been happy
But instead I felt crappy
Why do I feel this way?
There's nothing else to say
I recalled how it all began
Those things before you were gone
So I closed my eyes, recalled the memory
I always loved her, I just didn't see

I met her one summer day
Recalled in seventh of May
The first time she came
Treated her like my dame
Different she was from the others
But can't help thinking she's another
Another girl who will break me
Another girl who will leave me
All girls I loved broke my heart
Ended what they had start
I was never serious with you
I've been a jerk, too
But I realized it was wrong
Like an out-of-tune song
I realized she's different
Another slutty girl - she weren't
And when she told me it's over
My heart sunk lower
Remembered I used to take your hand and kissed you
Realized I am in love with you
For the first time I fell
And realized I was hell

I opened my eyes and made a decision
This is real life; ain't fiction
So I ran to her house next door
I will mend her heart sore
I smiled and said, "Hi."
She faked a smile and said, "Hey."
"I have something to say."
"I don't have all day so be quick, okay?"
Took a deep breath, "I'm sorry,
And darling, don't worry
I won't hurt you again
Fights and crap won't happen again."
Because I just love you
And I hope you do, too."
She smiled while crying happy tears
I smiled and wiped those, dear
I'll love her forever
She and I together.
