  Without End

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  Verses When you’re screaming inside and nobody hears When you’re surrounded by darkness and all of your fears When you just need to cry but you can’t let it go Though your deepest desire is that someone could know When you can’t believe all the things that you’ve done When you do...

  So Young

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  Chorus She was so young and she was so shy and she was once so innocent But when they were done once they’d made her cry she found the world was different Verses She’d imagined a world where dreams came true A world where everyone knew just what to do She’d imagined a world like a f...

  That Girl

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  Do you remember that girl- The one you bullied in middle school? You called her a lesbian and shoved her into lockers. You called her fat And made her eat dirt. You tortured and teased and ostracized her ruthlessly Just because you were jealous Just because she was different. What you di...

  Volleyball

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  The ball goes up Then begins to drop. She swings her arm forward And smacks it with a wallop. Across the net it flies. Time stands still As it goes by. Then it’s on the other side And everything is fast forward. From one player to the next it glides. They try to keep it up; don’t l...

  I Remember

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  I remember the time you loved me, the time I loved you not. I remember the day you asked me to say yes, the day I said no. I remember when you begged me to stay, the time I left. I remember how you begged me to love you, though I could not. I remember when you walked away, when I restrained myse...

  Duct Tape

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  He asked about my heart and what was wrong And I told him in a short and rhyming song, “My heart is with my soul Deep in some black hole. My soul is torn apart And laying with my broken heart.” “Duct tape!” he exclaimed. “What?” I asked in shock. “Duct tape.” He repeated. �...

  It Doesn't Matter

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  I speak, but no one listens. So it must not matter what I have to say. I cry and no one notices. So it must not matter that I hurt. I scream inside yet no sound comes out. So it must not matter that I’m tormented. I’m missing someone, but they don’t come. So my feelings of longing mus...

  By Some Miracle

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  How was I supposed to know you loved me? How could I have known your heart was breaking? How did it happen and where did it start? How did you hold back all that you felt? How did I not see the pain, longing, and love? How was I so cruel as to leave you; to leave you broken? How was I so afrai...

  You Are

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  You are amazing. You’ve set my heart ablazing. Your eyes are enchanting. Do they see the love they’re planting? You are handsome, kind, clever, and brave. You know you make all the girls rave. You are seemingly perfect in every way. Yet, you grow more so each day. You are the one...

  To Me

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  To me the best day was when our love was born. It was as lovely as a sunrise in the morn. But mourn is what I’ll do For the truth my love is that I can never be with you. Yes, my love is yours and yours alone But I was sorry when I told you that to see how your face shone. For I am promised ...

  Kiss Me One More Time

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  When you kiss me I want to sing. So kiss me one more time as I let these words ring. When you kiss me I can fly like a dove. So kiss me one more time to increase this love. When you kiss me I feel safe and warm. So kiss me one more time so I can outlast any storm. When you kiss me I feel...

  I Know Not Where I Stand

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  Green is the grass where I stand. Blue is the water where I am. Purple is the flower placed in my hair. Red are the berries that I eat Yellow is the sand upon my beach. White is my ragged dress. Brown are my dirty feet. Orange and blazing is the sunset. Yet I know not where I am for I stand ...

  I Wish

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  I wish for someone to love, For someone to think me as graceful as a dove. I wish someone would think me as beautiful as a swan, For someone to see me as gentle as a fawn. I wish for a kiss so pure, full, and bliss. I wish someone would love me back For they could mend my hearts deep crack....

  When I Don't Know

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  How can I go home when I don’t know where that is? Should I run even when I don’t know where to run to? How can I save the world when I don’t know how to save myself? How am I supposed to fall in love when I don’t know what that is? Can I see when I don’t know anything but darkness? H...

  Once Upon a Time

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  Once upon a time I loved you. Once upon a time you loved me back. Once upon a time I knew what it was to be happy. I was sure everything would be alright. But then that time ended. Because…. Once upon a time you were taken from me. Once upon a time I missed you terribly. Once upon a time I ho...

  At 2:30

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  It’s 2:30 in the morning but that doesn’t mean I’m not awake. It’s a quiet night in town but that doesn’t mean it’s quiet here. The pillow is over my ears bur that doesn’t mean I don’t hear. The blows you give each other don’t touch me but I feel their pain. It’s dark and my ...

  Through My Door

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  My feet leave the cold wood floor As I enter a new world through my door. Exiting the din I take it all in: The smell of the earth and the cool night air, The twinkle of the stars and the fireflies flare, The beautiful boy in the bonfire’s glare, The Lady Lark’s lullaby lilting with...

  Why I Don’t Believe in Fairy Tales

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  Life is not a fairy tale- I see it more every day- Cause things don’t always end up ok. It doesn’t always end with a happy ever after. Sometimes it’s filled with screams and sobs Instead of song and laughter. Prince charming might just give up his search and settle for the next best g...

  Shut Up

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  Shut up and listen for once in your life! You have opinions, but you know what- so do I. Are you just like every stupid politician? You talk so loud that you can’t hear the people screaming around you. Well, shockingly enough we have voices too. Your life is hard. Well, guess what- s...

  A Lovely Face

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  He looks into the coffin But he doesn’t see what’s there. There lies an old, wrinkled woman- Her hair white and her face blank. He sees it not. He sees her as a teenager- Bold, funny, irresistible, and enchanting in her youth. He sees her head thrown back in laughter, The sweet kis...

  The Most Important Thing

  

  By SapphireLamour, Omaha, NE

  You can’t hear them weeping or screaming in pain, terror, or sorrow Over the constant sound of your own voice. But that’s ok. Because that’s the most important thing. You can’t feel their pain and weariness or sharp jabs of hunger Over how uncomfortable your new shirt is. But th...
