Secrets

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

I did it
It's done
It's over
It's through
But what am I supposed to do?
You trusted me
I screwed it up
So many things I've kept locked up
Like what we'd do
Or how it was done
Or the fact that with him it was fun
I know I should tell you
But when, where and how?
Does it even really matter now?
I did it
It's done
It's over
It's through
There's secrets I guess I can't even tell you

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

I wish that I could tell you
How much you mean to me
Cause whenever I hear your voice
It reminds me of a dream
I know you can't forgive me
And it's something I understand
But sometimes it feels like we're from
Completely different lands
I never meant to hurt you
And I want you know
I'm sorry and I love you
So please don't let me go

Memories

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

The noise
The smoke
The rubble
The work
These are the things they'll remember in books
The people
The feelings
The loved ones now gone
Those are the memories that will live on
Panic and fear
Anger and tears
Feelings we know will be felt through the years
The shock
The surprise
The look in their eyes
None of them knew 'twas the end of their lives
Memories old are now memories new
Because of that day
And a cherished few

I once had a friend
An amazing friend
Who only liked me for me
We talked a lot
And we laughed alot
It was her that taught me to be...
To be myself no matter what
And to live everyday to the best
That's what she did
Though now she's gone
I'm sure she had no regrets
So take her advice
It's good advice
I promise, just take it from me
Live each day like it's your last
Let friendship set you free.

That Night

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

It started out so simple
A party for a friend
We laughed and talked
And had some fun
Who knew how it would end
The sun was set
The time had come
We ate and danced a while
But it grew late and it was fate
The time to go had come
We piled into different cars
And started to go home
But one of us
Was not all there
Now he is alone
That night reality set in
We realized life is short
One person's actions
Can change your life
And herein lies import.
The driver,
He'd been drinking
He'd made a bad decision
He was speeding down the road
My mind still holds the vision
We saw the car
As it swerved off course
And rolled right off the road
It rolled and slid until it stopped
Wrapped up around the pole
The driver and two passengers
Survived that awful night
The driver
And those passengers
Were there to see the sight
The sight of a third passenger
Trapped in the car that night
She lay there still
Unable to move
Could it be her final night?
The doctors said she'd make it
That she'd wake up and be fine
But they were wrong
She didn't wake
And won't for the rest of our lives
My friend you now I'm sorry
That third passenger was you
Our lives have changed so drastically
We'll save some of life for you.

He looks at me
And asks me why
He's worried
Cause I want to cry
I love him but
He wouldn't understand
I wish he would just
Take my hand
And hold me close
Till all is well
I'd feel so safe
My heart it swells
With feelings
For this friend
This boy
I want to scream
Not full of joy
He looks at me
And asks me why
He's worried
And I want to cry

Untitled 4

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

So many years
Too many tears
Pent up anger
Hidden fears
Afraid you'll go
Afraid you'll stay
I don't know what I feel
Emotions growing
Heart pounding
Want to scream
But keep on hiding
Hidden from lies
Hidden from hurt
I know that I can't feel
So much pain
Always the same
Can't let it go
You're to blame
But I would crumble
If you were to leave
So please don't disappear
Cause I don't want to feel
All this time
Through tears I've cried
I kept on loving you
But now i know
You always go
Can't do it anymore
I refuse to feel

Head Over Heels

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Head over heels
Heart beats fast
Can't breathe
It doesn't pass
Eyes like the ocean
Hands are shaking
Smile's like the sun
All this emotion
What's this thing
It's new to me
So many nerves
Crazy feelings
I'm not sure
Just what to do
Head over heels
In love with you

Disappear

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

I wanna go
To a dark far place
I wanna disappear
A place where you
Can't feel a thing
Where nothing else is real
Where love and hate all feel the same
Where pain does not exist
I wanna go
To a dark far place
I wanna disappear

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

I wish I didn't love you
I wish I didn't care
Everything was perfect
What made me even dare?
I told you exactly how I felt
You got a little scared
Now everything is over
I wish I didn't care

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Of all the boys in all the world
The one I chose was you
Though I gave it everything I had
My heart now lies in two
Slowly the pieces will find eachother
That's what they always do
Of all the boys in all the world
The one I chose was you

Untitled 7

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

You can't choose who you love
Only who you tell
You can't choose who you love
I guess it's just as well
Cause if you had the power to choose
Would the feelings be returned?
If you had the power to choose
This is what you'd learn
Sometimes you get lucky
The boy will love you too
Sometims not so lucky
Your heart will break in two
But trust me it will be okay
This I know for sure
Trust me it will be okay
Heartbreak helps the soul mature
You can't choose who you love
You can't choose how you feel
You can't choose who you love
At least not if it's for real

Dunmore

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Cars roaring staff waiting
Doors slamming children running
Familiar sounds of children comeing
To dunmore once again

Glick dripping the bell ringing
Ellen calling people laughing
All the fun that we are having
On dunmore once again

Girls packing, smores cooking
Van driving, everyone singing
All the benefits of tripping
From dunmore once again

Cars roaring doors closing
Tears falling laughter ceasing
All the sounds of children leaving
Dumore once again

I woke up this morning
to the ringing of the phone
something was nto right
i could tell by my friend's tone
all i heard was sobbing
so i sat there for a bit
what i learned this morning
only now just hit
why do these things happen
i just don't understand
why do they get pulled away
like nothing matters and
i keep on feeling like it's my fault
when there's nothing i could do
like i could have stopped it
when i know that isn't true
i woke up this morning
to the ringing of the phone
things will never be the same
you're gone...why did you go?

smile

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

This guy i know
Is always so sad
He hangs his head
Thinking life is all bad
He can't seem to smile
And it makes you feel bad
Because you are so happy
When he is so sad.
Nothing ever seems to go his way
You keep telling him it will change someday.
So smile my friend,
You know this is true,
No matter what happens,
I'll be there for you

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

As I see him standing there
Feeling thing I shouldn't feel
The thought almost too much to bear
Potential wounds that'd never heal

Untitled 10

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Nothing�s wrong
Yet tears
They fall
Down like rain in spring
Forming puddles
Uncomprehended
By anyone
Or anything
Every reason
To be happy
Still no smile
On this face
Black clouds
Hanging over me
Save me
From this awful place
Fast asleep
The pain will ease
At least until I wake
Maybe
Someday
Tears will dry
Till then there�s hope
That happiness
Will be
Mine

Untitled 11

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Darkness falls
I lie here waiting
Tears roll down my cheeks
I�m still waiting
Will you ever get here?
Do you even care?

Untitled 12

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Rain rolls down the window
As tears roll down my face
A blank stare through
The foggy glass
Looking for your
Familiar face
As uselss as it seems
Waiting for something
That will never come
I�m losing my sanity
And I know that you�re long gone
But everyday without you
Is just another day
I always came to you
With everything I had to say
But now I look around
And see there�s no way out
The cold steel cuts
The red drops fall
I�m overcome with pain
Nothing else seems real
Miss you so much
It�s hard to feel
Really can�t take anymore
My life is over
I�m sorry
Goodbye

Untitled 13

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Bright eyes on the outside
Dull eyed on the inside
Why do I feel the need to pretend?
Do people see you differently
If you let your emotions show?
I know it�s not good
To keep it all inside
But no matter
How hard I try
I can�t seem to let it all go

Untitled 14

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Why do I feel like I�m falling apart?
why do I feel like I�m back at the start?
no matter how hard I tried
I couldn�t� say goodbye
But I�m letting you go this time
You were the one I loved
And you were the one I dreamed of
You�ll always be a part of me
But now I�m moving on
And you were the one I wanted
You were the one I needed
But now I know
That I can make it on my own
So why do I feel like I�m falling apart?
Why do if eel like I�m back at the start?
It burns me to say this
But no matter how much it hurts
I have to let you go
I can�t hold on anymore

sad, cold, and lonely

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Don't listen to a word she says as she tells you its over and walks away slowly.
A number of tears cried and still feeling the same,
Sad cold and lonely.
She pushes you away but you know the truth that she loves and needs you only.
Another day gone by and she's the same,
Sad cold and lonely.
She wants to cry, you see it in her eyes, yet her face remains blank and stoney.
Hold her close, let her know that with you she won't be sad cold and lonely.

Today

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Today was just another day
At least thats what you thought.
Today was just another day
As with heart and soul you taught.
I doubt you ever thought
That anyone would ever say
That just because of you
Today was not just today.
Because of your compassion
And your ability to care,
Because of your enthusiasm
We did what we'd never dared.
You showed us how to feel
And you showed us how to love
You showed us more than anything else
What you valued more than all above.
You value what you do
Which is more than most can say
We value what you do,
Today was not any other day.
Today you gave us hope
And you showed us all the light.
Today you where there
And try as though we might
You never let us stop you
From doing what you do.
You never let us stop you
From teaching us something new.
Because of you i know
That somewhere someone's there.
Because of you i know
That someone will always care.
So thank you for your help
And everything youve given me.
Today was not another day
Today you set me free.

I Couldn't Find the Words

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

The night has come darkness is here
I lie awake, I feel a tear
It runs down my cheek
I tried to speak,
But I couldn't find the words.
It's time to sleep
To myself I'll keep,
The things I tried to say
You'll know another day,
Becuase I couldn't find the words.
The words to tell you what I felt,
The words to say I loved you.
In time you'll know, but not today,
Because I couldn't find the words.
I close my eyes, I try to sleep,
I'll wake in the morning,
And maybe you'll see,
That I've finally found the words.

Minutes pass like seconds as
Thoughts fly through my head.
Inspiration comes.

Feelings but no words
So utterly indescribable.
So uncertain.

Wishing to explain
Why it feels this way right now.
But I can't.

Minutes pass like seconds as
Your questions flood my thoughts.
Answers unknown.

All I wanted was your understanding.
For you to let it be for once.
You couldn't.

Patience is a virtue.
One that few possess and even fewer show.
You are not one of them.

I need time to figure it out.
Time isn't on your agenda.
Unbelievable.

Feelings but no words.
So utterly indescribable.
The story of my life.

Untitled 16

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Chaos and silence
Perfectly combined
Ignoring the outside
Not understanding the inside
What's the point in trying
Don't know what I'm doing
Should I quit now
Or should I keep searching

Untitled 17

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Honesty
Truth
Bigger, more important than
Love
Life
Take matters into your own hands
Be honest with yourself
To yourself you must be true
Deep down inside you know you hear it
Listen
To the voice inside your heart

Untitled 18

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Smile my love your eyes are so sad
I never knew my heart could hurt this bad
Strange how I can feel exactly what you do
Especially when this is true:
You my dear, have a heat of gold
An inner beauty that goes untold
Your actions dont give justice to the real you
And the same goes for your emotions too
While outwardly you like us think you are fine
We know something's eating at you from inside
But since people like me, love people like you
We'll always stand by you no matter what you do
So keep this in mind as you continue to live
After you have done this is the least I can give
Just do what your heart is begging you to do
And push come to shove, I'll still love you.

Too Bad

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

It's too bad that time goes by so fast
Because if time ticked by slower
The longer things we love would last
Looking back on things i've done
On people I knew
On places I've gone
The statement I return to is
I wish I had more time

It's too bad that we close ourselves off
If we were more open, there'd be more room
For new things, and especially love
I reflect on the people i've known
On the places I've been
On the feelings I've felt
The regret that will always remain is
I wish I'd been more open

It's too bad that we try to pretend
If we were honest, it'd be easier
Or harder, in a better way
Thinking about all the places I've been,
The feelings I've felt,
The thing's I've said
Something I'll always remember is
Truth will always prevail

Untitled 19

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Looking out the window
On the darkest of nights
In the one spot where
There are no clouds
The stars, they shine bright white.

Like angels amongst death
I can see you looking down
It makes me sad
Yet proud to know
That you are still around.

I strive to please you and make you proud
With everything I do
Seeing you up inside the stars
Reminds me to continue
Saving some of life for you.

Untitled 20

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

And all I need is a hug tonight,
A simple phone call to make it all alright,
A smile, or a gentle touch
To help me get through it,
Am I asking too much?

Untitled 21

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Breathe in
Breathe out
Dry tears
Cry out
Take it in
Look around
Things change
Shit goes down
Friends leave
Life goes on
New place
New song
Breathe in
Breathe out
Dry tears
Come out

Untitled 22

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Clouds and rain
Darkness and pain
A ray of sunlight.
Hope.
But not too much.
Just enough.
Fear
Of disappointment.
Of being happy.
Trust
In something new.
All guards come down.
Happiness.
No more dark or rain.
No more clouds or pain.
Love.

Growing Up

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

Growing up means more than age.
It happens slowly and quickly at the same time.
Every step forward is like turning the page.
It's not a physical thing as much as it's your mind.
Growing up is hard to do.
The times are always changing.
Each day you learn something new.
Your thoughts, always rearranging.
It happens when it's least expected.
It depends on your life stage.
It requires you to be unprotected.
Growing up means more than age.

Untitled 23

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

You said you'd try
I guess you lied
But then again
That's nothing new
You initiated it on your own
I thought you'd grown
But I was wrong
That's not the case with you
It's all so one-sided
I'm tired of trying
I want to give up
Chances, you've had more than a few
You promised this time
Just another page in your book of lies
I was wrong to think you'd changed
I guess you were wrong too.

Untitled 24

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

It's all too much to handle
I see the flame burning out.
Do you see it too?
Or are you too blind to notice such a seemingly insignificant detail?
Some call what I'm doing a display of strength and courage.
I call it weakness and cowardess.
I could change that, but I'm afraid.
Not of the consequences, but of facing reality.
As the flame dims, the wax drips.
The candle becomes an hour glass.
It's almost too late to face it all.
And it's definately too hard to accept it.
My heart breaks as the fire goes out.

Untitled 25

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

"I'm sorry," he says. His eyes empty.
No emotion, they are just words.
As she turns away, her heart breaks.
The memory of something too big to forget
Yet too horrible to remember.
He's sorry, he says, so apathetically.
She walks away, and doesn't look back.

Untitled 26

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

As I sit here I can feel the tears.
They are welling up inside of me
Longing for a release.
A release that will never come.
My face is hot and I breathe deep.
I try to stay composed but it gets harder by the second.
I don't understand myself these days.
One second I'm so happy, and the next, I'm a mess.
A basket case. That's me.
A ticking time bomb.
But no one knows what makes me tick.
Myself included.
They say time heals all wounds.
But will it fix this?
Or, should I quit now?
Are some things worth waiting for?
I guess I'll find out.

Untitled 27

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

I wake up and I see your face in my head.
I look out the window and I think I see you.
But it's not you.
I wish it was.
I want it to be you so badly.
Soon, I tell myself, so soon.
I go to bed and dream about you.
To be with you, hug you, kiss you.
That's all I want.
Patience is a virtue...
I wish I had some.
I guess it all boils down to this:
I miss you
And...
I love you.

Untitled 28

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

I try to act like I don't care
But it hurts.
You think I don't love you.
There's no one else.
Not before
Not now
Not ever.
You're it for me.
I wish you knew that.
Really
I do.

Untitled 29

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

"I trust you" he says.
But you don't belive it.
Not completely.
You can see it's a lie
Hidden deeply
Behind jealous eyes.
Yet you say "okay"
And go anyway.
It's not your fault.
You asked.
You trusted.
He lied.
You've nothing to hide.
Double standard.
Love struck, blind.
No trust or honesty.
"It's fine, be good, have fun"
He reassures you...
The words come easy.
Not the truth.
Love struck, blind.
Behind jealous eyes.
Truth covered with lies.

Broken

by

Kaylea Lynne Patterson

You said you loved me.
You said you didn't want it to be this way.
But you chose to say goodbye.
You said you needed time.
Time to be sure.
You didn't mean it.
Those were only words.
"There's a good chance we'll get back together."
You said that.
You don't want that.
You don't want me.
You don't love me anymore.
Maybe you never did.
If you had, you'd know you want me.
Instead, you hurt me.
You broke me.
I'm broken into pieces.
Broken.
