You and Only You

Heart skips a beat
Cheeks burning red
Butterfly's racing
Toes curling
Eyes Sparkling bright.

These are the things you do to me.
Haven't felt like this,
In so long now.
No need to move too fast.
There can always be a future.

Getting to know each other,
is the best part.
The flirting and the giggling
The seriousness and playfulness
all the stuff we have in common

It all makes for a great relationship
We'll someday have (hopefully)
Don't want to rush into it
Don't want to force a thing
Though, nothing so far has been forced

For once I'm not pushing it
I'm letting it come and
I actually like you a lot
You're a fantastic guy and
I'm lucky you like me
--Michelle Milligan

Consumption

Can you feel it?
The anger building up inside.
Filling you up, eat at you.
Consuming what is left for fuel,
To a fire that can't be put out.

Anger so strong.
Radiating around you.
Your permantent aura.
I can see it bubbling on you.
I can feel it like cold hatred.

You're so obviously lost.
Let the tears wash away
All the worries of today.

The stormy weather
Reflects what is really within.

Not a thing can be done.
You can't lose control.
You're loosing yourself.
Whats left is only pain.

What Have We Done?

I wonder if they see,
Everything that's in front of me.
The pain people hide inside.
Children all alone.
Emanciated, rumbling tummies.
Hot tears rolling down sunken cheeks.
The world falling apart.
To late to do a thing.
You see what we've wrought,
On a world that was so innocent?
-Michelle Milligan

Perfect World

No more worries.
No more cares.
Wouldn't it be perfect??
Living in a world so fare?

Pain could be a thing of the past.
Everyones happiness can last.
People can be accepted,
with no more hatred.

What a shame,
You think we're
all the same.
--Michelle Milligan

Miles and Miles Apart

I still remember it, oh so well.
Every part carved in a memory.
Legs pressing, skin to skin.
Heart thumping, cheeks burning.
Oh, I remember it all.
Ha, not sex.
But the sudden burst of courage
He took to grab me in his arms.

I thought he was perfect.
Not a thing could go wrong.
The sweetest thing to ever lay eyes on.
Most perfect liar ever known.
Miles and miles apart...
Never good enough.

How could I have known,
What he would do?
Somestimes I still wonder
how he could have thrown it all away.
It's just another memory.
Oh well, theres someone better waiting for me<3
-Michelle Milligan

Holding On

Why do you hold on?
Do you love to be in pain?
Do love to hate?
If you don't quit...
This will end in tragedy.
If you don't realize,
Hes not "it",
He won't choose you,
That he's already moved on,
You'll end up a mess.
A worthless
Hopeless
Mess.
-Michelle Milligan

Come And Gone

Last Chances,
They come and go.
his came,
And now it's gone.
You said you loved him.
He said it back.
You made a mistake.
He doesn't believe you,
When you say it wont,
Ever happen again.
I promise you,
That he'll never believe.
I know that too well.
Why are you wasting your breath?
Why do insist on loving him so?
Your heart breaks,
With everyword.
Every cold moment.
With every hot one.
He can't decide,
But neither can you.
-Michelle Millgan

Forbidden

We were caught up in each other.
So aware of one another.
Our worthless one night stand,
Spent in the sand.

Love growing stronger,
We're growing together.
Oh, how wrong it was,
But only because

There was someone at home
Waiting by the phone.
I was nothing.
She was everything.

I don't care
It was only fare.
I didn't know,
I'd have to let you go.

So tell me now...
How do I
Finally
say goodbye?
-Michelle Milligan

Secrets I'll Never Tell

All these secrets and lies eat me up inside.
All i want to do
is tell the damn truth.
But how do I break the cycle
when it's all I've ever known

I'm not even sure
I know how to say
whats really there.

You believe you know
everything from the inside out
But the truth is
you only know the safe.

I keep whats left bottled up.
So much that
I'm scared to let anyone in.
My sign of weakness.
Someone knowing everything.

One dark secret?
Try several.
Everything is half truths.
I'm fine, nothings wrong.

Truth is,
most the time I am.
I am totally fine.
But theres still that part
holding back all the secrets.

I'll never let you know.
What goes on deep inside.
I'm scared you'll leave me too.
Or hurt me like the others.
