this is the beginning of the end
all the rules we know begin to bend
and parting now we go our seperate ways
hoping we will meet again someday

the nights we spent
the memories made remain
but life that we once knew will slowly fade
until we're left with empty smiles in vain
and pictures smudged and wrinkled from the rain

Small things first

I'm a mess
Nothing feels right anymore
It's all in pieces
And suddenly I can't find my heart
I tried so hard to keep it together
But somewhere along the way
I lost sight of what I believed in
And slowly began to fade

Small things first,
One fake smile for every real one
Tears shed to match the rain outside
A red ribbon pressed against my mouth
Criss crossing my thoughts
To keep it all a secret
Cuz I am not
Who I thought I would be by now

I'm a pile
Broken pieces thrown together
And I try, I try so hard
To get something right for once
But the world plots against me
Or so it seems
And nothing is quite what I wanted
But that's not too hard to believe...

Cuz it was small things first,
One fake smile for every real one
Tears shed to match the rain outside
A red ribbon pressed against my mouth
Criss crossing my thoughts
To keep it all a secret
Cuz I am not
Who I thought I would be by now

I'm running in circles all day
Just trying to make some sense somewhere
How can one girl be so wrong?
All My thoughts are flying flying
As my dreams are dying dying
Somehow I'll get out of this alive...

And it was small things first,
One fake smile for every real one
Tears shed to match the rain outside
A red ribbon pressed against my mouth
Criss crossing my thoughts
To keep it all a secret
Cuz I am not
Who I thought I would be by now

( in case you're wondering, this is a song... again, im too shy to post the tune but one of these days i will, i promise)
love,
.:kara.grace:.

this isnt a poem... i wrote it today on the way to my dance competition (i do irish dance) today and decided i really liked how it turned out, but its a bit to fluffy for my blog blog. its kind of like a promise to myself, and i guess it helped cuz i got 2 firsts and a second, yaaay.

Today, for once, this is about me. Today I am not Sister, Daughter, Friend, I am simply a dancer. When I walk through the doors I'll leave my problems in a heap outside the door and float with dizzy freedom until its time to leave again and hoist the sadness and pain back on my shoulders. Today I will wear a mask of sparkles and color that I can hide behind with no fear of failure because all of the sudden I am the only one dancing. My feet will fly with practiced grace and my mind will race with the music but my heart, for once, will be strangely still because finally I am free. I will leap higher, dance harder, smile bigger than the others and snatch the medals from their groping hands because today, this is about me. And today, I will win.

annnnnd last of all i found this poem the other day and put some chords to it... heres what i got, tell me what you think

come close, close enough to touch
stay away you love is just to much
far away is where i want to be
on my own i've lost the will to breathe

feelings come then go before the dawn
my jumbled dreams are going going gone
close my eyes and you are who i see
all alone your love is killing me

now you're here you swear you've come to stay
this i've heard but i don't think you'll change
words will fade and we will carry on
until our lives are wrinkled, tattered, gone

the end. if it was in song version the middle stanza is the chorus... i really should just video these but im too shy :3
