Faithful Friends

By: Ethelanne_aying

They adore you,but they

are not your suitor.

They anxiety you, but they

are not your parents.

They allot their stories with you

but they are not your story teller.

They make you roar,but they

are not your harlequin.

They are sugary, but they

are not a desert.

They assist you every time,but

they are not your helper.

They are true friends,

true friends love you all the

time,encourage you every time

when you need them and stress

about you when your forlorn..

SURVIVOR

Push to the limits, feeling like I'm at the edge of a cliff

Hanging on...believing, still catching my breath

Sure, I can scream but my voice bury into deep

Tears in silence, in a room no one can see

Linger the pain, imprison with bitter memories

Sure, I need calmness, serenity and peace

Sure, there are realities that make one poor soul

Taking laughter, making it hard to reach thy goals

I could not take it anymore...screaming, shutting all doors!

It makes me weaker each day; all I need is more faith!!!

Starting to loosen up my grip, close my eyes...let me fall from the cliff

Knowing nothing what life has in store for me...

Waiting for destiny and where my faith would lead me

God is so wonderful and great...

He has landed me in a better place, still in a world where life held its battles...

Yet HE has made a difference far from yesterday...

HE uplifts my spirit and gives me willingness to understand HIS will

Armored me with vast of faith and knowing that He'll always be there!!

And now, I am push to the limits and feeling near again to a cliff

With smiles, I'll fly and see how heaven opens its doors in the skies

While lying on the clouds, HIS angels singing me their lullabies

Truly, this life is so wonderful...and once you wake up and open up your eyes

Another day has pass and will make you realize...

Truly, anyone with God will survive!!!!

WHY?

Why am I hurting?

When I am supposed t be happy

Why am I crying?

When I am supposed to feel free

Why do you have to come?

When you are only to leave

Why do you have to care?

When you're not to stay with me

Why am I falling for you?

When I know you can never be mine

Why do I love you?

When I know soon you'll be leaving me behind!

FORBIDDEN LOVE

Forbidden love is what they call it

Loving you since we first met

Heart calling your name with it's every breath

Not aware on what I can simply get

I've tried to impede my heart

Considering that my love is somewhat illicit

But I cant help it, I've love you from the start

Irrepressible love without a limit

Now having you a part of me

Brings my life infinite cheerfulness

Though somehow I feel really guilty

Forbidden love is the reason of my happiness

Prepared on whatever consequences

That this love for you may lead me

What matters most is your care and presence

That completes me amazingly

First Love

He walks accross the hallway with a charming smile, soft eyes and perfect messy hair.

God, how I wanted to kiss those lips gaze into his eyes and run my fingers through his

hair.

We...

seat at the same row

study at the same school

walk on the same streets

We...

see each other many times

but never talk

not a hi, not even a smile.

Seeing each other everyday in the place our love grew

Sitting behind me, he would do such things just to get my attention

he would smile with such happiness

There it began to grow more

But in silence

One day he approached me and asked an unexpected question.

"Would you like to hangout with me?","I'd loved to."

My heart flies into heaven until it reaches its end.

That night he made a confession.

"I have something to tell you","Oh.What is it?"

I was afraid that he might tell me to stay away.

But...

"I started loving you since the first day I saw you."

It was one of the most beauiful words he uttered

As he grabs my hand, hug me tight and slowly kiss my lips.

I could hear stars clapping and twinkling brightly above the sky.

We spent our journey loving eachother and live happily ever after.
