Heartbreak? Love? Or Neither? - Alexandra Rader (the reading strategies book TXT) 📗

Take Me As I Am

Kiss me lightly
Hug me tightly

Hold me close
Never leave me alone

Hold my hand
Take me as I am

Tease me with care
Always be there

I Love You

I love you
Do you love me, too?
If you do not
I will be blue

I do not care
What you say
And no you can't
Send me away

Can't sleep at night
Cry all day
If only you were here
Just a moment to stay

Now I do
Care what you say
And if you wish
I will go away

I just wanted you to know
That I love you
And am only wishing
That you love me, too

Our Destiny

In my dreams you come
With words gentle and sweet
Our lips meet once, then twice
As we swelter in the heat

My heart is forever yours
As together our souls merge
Your eyes look into mine
As headfirst we surge

Our breaths are coming faster
As the realization hits us hard
We belong together as one
For this is our destiny's card

You

You drive me crazy
With your light brown eyes
All I see is love
And never any lies

I hope, wish and pray
That you are the one
Your smile warms me up
Way better than the sun

Your kiss is warm and sweet
Just like it should be
All I see is you
I hope all you see is me

A Confession

I have a confession to make:
The words you spoke cut deep into my heart
I know I can;t change your feelings
Now I don't know where to start

Though words of logic you speak
I can't change the way I feel
And I will respect your decision
But don't worry; I'll heal

I look forward to seeing you
Though I'm too scared to say why
You make my heart beat faster
And then I'm all shy

I should have known at first sight
That you were too good for me
Your heart is the purest I've seen
And you hold every girl's key

You've got a great personality
And good looks didn't forget to stop by
I know this all sounds cheesy
But I've spoke not a single lie

High School

We fight
We talk
We get mad
And we walk

Smile today
Cry tomorrow
Keep on living
Don't let into some sorrow

We make enemies
We make friends
We find some guys
Who won't be there in the end

Don't do homework
You're gonna fail
Do your homework
You've got good mail

You find a guy
But he turns his back
Girl, you're alive
Don't have an attack

A Huge Mistake

Shoulders slumped, head bowed
She hardly makes it through the day
Regretting every minute
Wishing she had of listened
Now she's lost something...
Something that can never be returned or found
She's hurt beyond repair now
Coldness seeps into her being
Her thoughts are heavy and clouded
Her life holds no meaning
She has no one to understand her...
No one to talk to...
Where could she begin?
Wait, there's a flicker of hope...
A thought of someone she can speak to
But there's a risk...
A risk of someone hating her...
A risk she'll have to take
Fear penetrates her mind...
Filling every pore of her body
Taking a deep breath
She makes her decision
She walks up to her mom
Taking another deep breath
She spills everything
She's crying now
Sobbing uncontrollably
Her mother holds her
Patient, knowing, caring, always there
There's no hatred in her mother's embrace;
She should have known better
What she did was wrong
But her mother understands
Her mother has been there, done that
She knows she must work hard now...
Work hard if she wants her mother's trust again
But her mother's still there...
Still there, and always will be
She made a huge mistake
But she'll pull through
She'll be okay again
Thanks to her mother...
And her mother only

You That I Seek

Hating the feelings
That grow ever so deep
Hiding the tears
Taking the leap

Loving the thrill
Taking the chance
Waiting my time
Risking a glance

Spirits are lifting
As you come near
A smile shows up
As I hide my fear

Depression lurks still
But not as bad
When you're around
There's no reason to be sad

Wiping the tears
That still wet my cheeks
Laughing inside
For it is you that I seek

Emptiness

Sadness overwhelmed my body
As I saw you standing there;
My best friend
It was then that I realized
This has no end

This emptiness that fills me
Day after day after day
This has no end
Has no sway

Has no way of filling
For nothing will fill this void
This emptiness is already filled
With emptiness itself
For now, I feel like I've been toyed
