Games of the Heart

I am lost in a sea
A sea of confusion
You are the one for me
Or that was the illusion
Oh, the games we play
They make my head spin
They turn night from day
I don't think you or I will ever win
Don't you get sick of it?
The vague hints and subtle clues
The pieces never seem to fit together
I think I am going to lose
How can a story end before its truly begun?
You can't ignore hat you feel
I know you feel it even when you're done
Or do you have a heart of steel?
I feel a damsel in distress
Calling for the knight
My heart is a mess
The dragon us calling for you to fight
But knight after knight fears the clash
Will you do the same?
I have waited for the man to act rash
And save me, not for fame
Good luck with that one
That's what my head tells my heart
They just want to have fun
The dragon is a fiery dart
The stories have all lied
True love is a fable
It has been gagged and tied
Bring it to the table
To you, I haven't lied
I've put my feelings there
Won't you please, I'm begging now
You've reached the dragon's lair
Defeat the dragon and take a bow
I'm tired of wearing a mask
Take off yours and I will too
I have just one request
I don't know what else to do
Please won't you?
Please say you love me too

Pain

Like the shadow that trails behind you.
Like the screams that follow the night.
Like the song that you can't seem to get out of your head
Or the rap that can't say anything but that one word.
Like the book you just can't seem to put down.
Its like the girl he didn't want to let go
Or the guy she couldn't leave.
Like the peace that just never comes

Its the one thing you can never escape.
Its the one thing that will always haunt you,
Like a ghost in an old, abandoned house.
That is just it.
Its the one thing you hate and love all at once.
Hate it, love it, hold it, throw it away.
Its still there
Because its too hard to live without it.

So, now I'm editing my novel with the publisher.
Its a lot of fun and a lot of learning. I'm learning my strengths and my weaknesses. I really am growing to love the story, more so than I already did!
