Is this love? (Can I stay)

Can I stay here with you til the morning

I am so far from home

And I feel a little stoned

There’s nothing I want more than to wake up on your floor

Can I stay here with you till day breaks

There something you should know

I ain’t got no place to go

Can I stay here with you till the day breaks

How happy it would make me to see your face when I awake

Can I stay here with you through the night time

I’ve fallen sad inside

And I need a place to hide

I’m all alone and blue

Won’t you take me to your room

I’ll lay with you in my thinnest dress

Fill your heart with each caress

Between your blissful kisses

Whisper darling this is love

Whisper to me is this love

been afraid of changing because

I built my life

around you

¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥{}¥

here I am

moons later

oceans tide,

so low

these heart beats

slowly waning

I ask thee true

“Have we sailed too far from the blue, to make our way back out of this storm ? “

as you try and find land, I wade in the shallow covered in these shifting sands...

She.

I wish I could forget, forget when she was mine. She's someone else's angel, and I'm so sick of love songs, so tired of tears, so done with wishing she was still here. What if we rewrite the stars? It was only just a dream.

....

Reluctant to call it what it is

maybe it's the label

or maybe it she's just wrong.

lately, she has been unhappy,

And unsatisfied and angry

And saddened by the slightest

while the greatest doesn’t affect her

she feels demotivated and discouraged

to do what must be done

and she wishes for it to be over

And she's not suicidal, but sometimes the lines get all blurry

and she tried to get them to help

and they say they care

but they just deceive

in the end love just exists in their la-la land of make-believe

and maybe they do care

but in the war between vanities

Sometimes we just refuse to seek

the help we deserve, the help that we need

and she don’t want to be the stoic superhero

she'd rather be the sunny supporting hero of my own story

and this isn't how it's meant to be

but she isn't worried, it's alright

she knows it's not the end till you really agree.

a poem made solely of lyrics of different songs by the same singer...do you know which one?

I love you more than anything

But the words can't even touch what's in my heart.

If it’s possible, I love you even more

Than the word love can say it.

Boy, you know you know that you drive me crazy.

Bad boy, you make me make bad decisions.

Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman.

I got a bad idea.

Even though we shouldn’t we will,

So baby, come light me up and baby I'll let you on it.

A little bit scandalous, but baby, don't let them see it.

A little less conversation and a little more touch my body

(Because) you know that I’m greedy for love.

Every look, every touch.

Makes me wanna give you my heart.

I be crushin' on you, baby.

Stay the way you are.

We got that hood love

We got that good love

We got that hot love

We got that I don't give a what love

We got that one life.

Then I realize she’s right there.

She gives you everything but boy I couldn't give it to you.

I’m ready to make that turn.

Before we both crash and burn.

Because that could be the death of us,

The death of us.

Let’s just go back to the way it was.

Can we get back to the way it was?

But some things are better left unsaid.

I never knew, I never knew

Pain is just a consequence of love.

I was under your spell.

I don’t wanna hear you lie tonight.

I'm sorry, it's time to leave, I gotta leave now

After laughter comes tears.

After laughter comes tears.

I’ve cried enough tears to see my own reflection in them.

And now that you’re gone, my heart is missing something.

A broken heart is all I have now.

I never knew, I never knew

Pain is just a consequence of love.

(But) if the water dries up and the moon stops shining

Stars fall, and the world goes blind, boy

You know, I'll be savin' my love for you, for you

Because you're the best mistake I've ever made.

you.

love is the drug that we're all after.

you fill up my senses.

and i miss you,

you know i do.

sometimes i still miss what i wished we could be.

you own all of my thoughts and words.

the birds fall from the trees.

me.

i have you,

breathing down my neck.

tell me do you wonder?

you are the reason i dream.

i'll take whatever comes with it as long as it's yours.

i don't know why this has happened but i probably deserve it.

what's your head done.

there's too much space between you and me.

i'm a fuck-up.

you never remember me.

i thought we hit rock bottom,

and then the floor gave out.

without your love i'm nothing more,

than skin and bones and hate.

what is that song you sing for the dead?

i would hate you if i could.

tell me how,

anybody thinks under these conditions.

shave my head and change the way i think.

tell me,

do you let your mind slip away at night?

you're fire,

but sweet.

i don't want to hesitate.

warm blood,

and body.

give me your misery.

how are your lungs,

mine are in pain.

pain is never permanent,

but tonight it's killing me.

i wish i never met you.

summer nights are serene.

pretend that i'm the sky.

who are you?

forgive me.

i'm hopeless.

but what about,

these feelings i've got?

they say distant is relative.

i saw you in a dream.

crystal dream.

cursed by the love that i recieved.

i'm sweet for you.

this could be the very minute,

i'm aware that i'm alive.

all these places feel like home.

we go,

nobody knows.

i don't know where to begin.

my arms are open wide.

baby do you think about the past,

if every stupid little thing has led us to this?

you don't have to run.

i don't want to fall asleep.

you light up the dark.

you want love?

i'm in love,

but i'm feeling alone.

one and lonely

Dizzy hurricane,

Little hand grenade.

Two plastic hearts with nowhere to run.

Snakebite heart with a bubblegum smile —

Should've known that you've been dancing with a wolf.

To bring an end to promises,

We had to say goodbye.

Amnesia

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia

And forget about the way you lips taste

Maybe then I wouldn’t need you

Maybe I would finally be okay

Cause I’m not fine at all

Adrian

Oh Adrian, I wanna see like you.

The world in pink hues

A dazzling scene

Clear as still waters

And twisted as the sea.

Stars

Love is like starlight

Even when a star dies

You can still see it shine

Stars of love look bright

Till they’re ready to die

The broken spend their lives

Staring at the sky

You bought a star in the sky tonight

Because your life is dark and it needs some light

You named it after me, but I’m not yours to keep

You say that love is not that easy

And that’s the lesson that you teach me

You’d like to think you know me

You keep buyin’ stars

And you could buy up all of the stars

But it wouldn’t change who you are

You’re still living life in the dark

It’s just who you are

I know you only want to own me

And that’s the kind of love you show me

Is there more to lose than gain

If I go on my own again?

We come alone and alone we die

And no matter how hard you try

I’ll always belong in the sky
