Grieving Hearts

The night is darkest
Just before the dawn
With life at its bleakest
A new love is born

Grieving hearts
Loving pasts
Both living apart
From a love that lasts

Now here you stand
Side by side
Hand in hand
A great love so wide

This isn’t technically song lyrics that I wrote, but it’s what got me started writing again. I stopped for about 3 years because I had no inspiration, no reason to write, but in September, my grandmother got married again after my grandfather died. She kept it small and didn’t invite anyone but those who lived locally, but asked people to write things to be read out at the ceremony. She asked me to write something and it took me a while because it had been a long time since I had even tried to write. But in the end I came up with this.

Everyone said it was good and then next thing I knew I was writing again and more than I had before. It got me started on this path, now I’m learning guitar and taking singing lessons to strengthen my voice. Now I feel like myself again. So…. thanks Nan for getting married.

Moral of the story, follow your dreams because they will lead you to where you’re supposed to be.

Love
Roxanne

Broken Inside

She sits at home
She’s all alone
She wonders why
She’s not on the phone
Her friends don’t call
No not at all
As she wonders why
Tears start to fall

But she won’t complain
Won’t let anyone
know she’s in pain

She tries to hide
That she’s broken inside
Hoping no one will notice
It’s a losing fight
She doesn’t know
How to let it go
Her demons inside
Will stop her blood flow

She’s doing her best
But life’s a test
It’s at a point
Where she needs a rest
When things go wrong
She tries to be strong
But it’s just too hard
To fight for so long

But she won’t complain
Won’t let anyone
know she’s in pain

She tries to hide
That she’s broken inside
Hoping no one will notice
It’s a losing fight
She doesn’t know
How to let it go
Her demons inside
Will stop her blood flow

Go into the sun
Go have some fun
A mere suggestion
In the end light won
She decided to try
To go outside
Into a world
That left her dead inside

She tries to hide
That she’s broken inside
Hoping no one will notice
It’s a losing fight
She doesn’t know
How to let it go
Her demons inside
Might stop her blood flow

If You Only Knew

I was drowning in darkness
But now I’m calm
Just relaxing in the bath
The water is warm
The pain in my wrists gone
My blood still flows
Cause I love you so much
You don’t even know
And as the world fades away
My last thought is you
Though you don’t know who I am
That much is true

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

Saw you through the window
That is my screen
You were all I thought about
Even in my dreams
But it’s a one way glass
You don’t see me
Nothing I wouldn’t give
For that not to be
I could break the glass
And there’ll be a way
For you to see through the crack
I have hope one day

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I took some pictures
And put them online
I thought they looked okay
I thought they were fine
I wanted you to notice
Your fans sure did
They made me want to hide
To go off grid
I tried to get away from
All their abuse
They can be really hurtful
When they let loose

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I turned to see this girl
Staring back at me
She wasn’t much to look at
Not that I could see
She didn’t have clear skin
But crooked teeth
A nose that’s just too big
That girl was me
I started to believe them
Those things they said
That’s when the darkness
Got in my head

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I stopped posting pictures
For you to see
Stopped trying to get noticed
You’d never see me
Cause I’m not even worthy
For someone like you
You deserve better than me
I know it’s true
Someone with small nose
A girl who’s pretty
Would look good on your arm
Anyone but me

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
Because it does get better
And soon this won’t matter
There are people who love you
If you only knew

I have a confession
You were my obsession
You deserve perfection
And not my reflection

Why are kids making kids cry
Why are they left out to die
When did we stop teaching them
It’s okay to feel broken
If only you knew
There are people who love you

Whispering Pretty Things

You left with your bags packed
With your heart still intact
You said it had been fun
But it’s over now, we’re done
I can’t deal with this anymore
I just keep staring at the door
How could I have been so wrong
You were lying all along

What did you do to me
I was never this girl
Whispering pretty things
You became my whole world
You never loved me
But I still fell for you
Whispering pretty things
Was all you had to do

I tried to get you out of my head
Cause I still feel you in my bed
I thought you were the one
Now I see you with that blonde
This hurts more than I can bear
And you don’t even seem to care
You left my life in tatters
But to you that doesn’t matter

What did you do to me
I was never this girl
Whispering pretty things
You became my whole world
You never loved me
But I still fell for you
Whispering pretty things
Was all you had to do

Before you, I had direction
But not since your rejection
My world now crumbles down
Cause you’re no longer around
Wherever you are right now
I promise,
I’ll get over you somehow

What did you do to me
I was never this girl
Whispering pretty things
You became my whole world
You never loved me
But I still fell for you
Whispering pretty things
Was all you had to do

Why wasn’t I enough
For you to fall in love

It’s All Quiet Now

It started the same
Just a normal day
But now who’s to blame
For the mess they made
There was yelling
We locked our door
There was no telling
If we’d make it out
But with a window
We found a way
We need no hero
To save the day
So down the ladder
To escape the man
We did scatter
Lest we see his gun

It’s all quiet now
But we’re still here
It’s all quiet now
Why do we still fear
When can we leave
Why can’t we escape
It’s all quiet now
What will be our fate

I made it out
But I’m still there
Every shout
Takes me back there
Back to that day
When we were hiding
Finding our way
Trying to break free
I can’t escape it
That day in my head
I try and fake it
But it’s there waiting
Panic starts to rise
Just as the sun sets
Cause I need the light
To fight the nightmares

It’s all quiet now
But we’re still here
It’s all quiet now
Why do we still fear
When can we leave
Why can’t we escape
It’s all quiet now
What will be our fate

Please let us out
You’re safe inside
But if he comes
We can’t hide
Please let us out
You’re safe inside
What if he comes
With his gun

It’s all quiet now
But we’re still here
It’s all quiet now
Why do we still fear
When can we leave
Why can’t we escape
It’s all quiet now
What will be our fate

Bad Girl

If you see me walking down the street
You are probably going to stare
I’m covered in black from head to feet
With tattoos and piercings here and there
I wear more leather than most you meet
With my standard evil bitch face glare
So my appearance doesn’t scream sweet
And any colour on me is rare

There’s more than one side of me

To you I’m a mystery
To them I am a bad girl
To my parents I am good
I’m not one thing in this world
A lot depends on my mood
As to which of these you get
The girl you get tomorrow
Could be one you’ve never met

If you don’t judge me after first sight
You’ll get to see a different me
You’ll see what I’m like on the inside
The part nobody bothers to see
I was taught to always be polite
And to be the best I could be
You’ll never see me with a powder that’s white
I don’t lose touch with reality

There’s more than one side of me

To you I am a mystery
To them I am a bad girl
To my parents I am good
I’m not one thing in this world
A lot depends on my mood
As to which of these you get
The girl you get tomorrow
Could be one you’ve never met

I am both the good and the bad
I have a lot of skirts that are short
And sometimes I’m more scantily clad
Than your average high class escort
But if you need I’ll give you a hand
Because sometimes that’s what friends are for
So I’d you stick around you’ll be glad
Because with me you’ll never bored

To you I’m a mystery
To them I am a bad girl
To my parents I am good
I’m not one thing to this world
A lot depends on my mood
As to which of these you get
The girl you get tomorrow
Could be one you’ve never met
