Come to me tonight my love,
Don’t let me be alone,
I shall give to you a love
this world has never known.

I’ve been waiting for a lifetime
for this moment to arrive,
In you I’ve found my paradise,
And I thank God that I’m alive.

You shall never have to worry,
Nor shall you ever be alone,
For the love I hold for you in me
is solid as a stone.

It cannot be trampled on,
Nor can it ever be torn apart,
For it is locked away in safety
in the very bottom of my heart.

And as life is still unfolding,
we have much yet to foresee
But right now the only thing I need
is you, the night and me.

Braces by Joshua Motl

How I hate these painful brackets
That yank and pull my gum.
Without anything to make them numb
They hug my teeth like an agonizing jacket.
This awful devise creates a racket
This evil creation will not let me hum.
They have no use they are so dumb
If only I could hide them in some pocket.
The dreaded braces cause much pain
They say they make teeth straight and true,
But all they can do is make me blue.
These wicked braces cause a stain
They will never make my teeth new
These things may even be my bane.

A Lesson I Have Learned

Why doesn’t he like me?
Why doesn’t he care?
Is it something I said,
or something I did with my hair?

Why doesn’t he adore me?
I tried my very best!
The more I tried, the more I cried,
and he liked me even LESS!

He ended up liking my best friends,
I couldn’t believe it was true!
Wouldn’t YOUR heart be deep in denial,
if the SAME thing happened to YOU?

I have learned my lesson,
let your crush come to YOU!
If I remembered that when I first saw him (OH, when I first SAW him!!!),
Then I would know what to do.
And he would like me, too.

The One Who Loves Me

I tear our love open,
I scour what’s left.
And the cleft that’s there,
helps me to get a grip.

And the stars remind me,
what could’ve been there.
But you left me alone,
you left me standing there.

Now I’m ,drowning in the water,
trying to breath with no air.
And you pass me by the shoreline,
just walking, with NO CARE!

But that’s okay, I’ve moved on now,
I got a boy who loves me back.
But you’re chasing after the same girl,
the one you liked BEFORE we met!

Don’t try to ask me out later on,
I won’t answer your calls.
Just like how you left me,
I won’t talk to you at ALL.

I’ll start over fresh now,
all the healing’s done for me.
‘Cause I got a boy now,
one who loves me.

Protection

I want to feel his arms wrap around me,
I want to feel protected, with his body as a shield.

I want to feel his warmth,
the heat radiating off his body.

And I want to feel his touch, then I’ll know
that he’s there, he’s with me, and
we’re together, hand-in-hand, and side-by-side.

Dead, Cold, and Broken (The Break-up)

I never thought it would come to this,
but I knew he was someone I’d have to miss,
and now, our love is OVER.

I always loved his laugh and smile,
just being with him made it all worthwhile.
Now he might as well be dead, cold, and buried.

He’s not dead yet, but it feels that way.
I miss his chest, where I used to lay.
Even though it was HIS chest, MY heart is cold and broken.
