Teardrops On My Flute

Don't look at me with those tear-stained eyes You brought this upon yourself From the moment you told me I knew he was no good for you So cry on my shoulder, let's do this dance Until the next new moon when we dance the dance again I've known all along what's best for you Just with whom you're meant to be Someone who can love you for you Because you're the greatest girl I know Eventually you'll find someone to see Heaven in your eyes Just like I thought I did when I found her She brings a smile to my face and a song to my heart I've never been so in love Yeah, I know she makes me crazy But that's what passionate lo

Tender Hearts by daqu, literature

Literature

Tender Hearts

I love her, but she loves him And I don't have a chance I think I like her, but she's crazy about him Impending doom be damned And there you sit, so innocent You'll be my Utopia and patiently you'll wait Steering me from distractions Dropping hints like droplets of rain While I cannot believe its true How often can girl truly be so lucky That the one she really wants is ready to wait for her Through stupid jokes and mismatched dreams Through painful pasts and branching futures But you say you don't care There's someone better waiting for us both And until that time comes Let's be the world to each other You showed me a world

Untitled Poem by daqu, literature

Literature

Untitled Poem

I remember this feeling down in my gut And I want it to go away Never welcome but always present Does what I want count for nothing? This is the war I’ve longed to fight And have won before the battle’s begun It was supposed to run its full course Don’t want to live with this wonder Don’t want to wonder what could have been You take your normalcy and wear it with pride I’m not gonna remember when I was different Because it’s going to stay with me, a constant reminder Of the life lessons that I need to learn Because what good does it do if my battles are fought for me? I’ve always heard that it&

Romeo by daqu, literature

Literature

Romeo

You may not think so, but I can still remember The first time I ever saw you, so long ago Both of us were just barely kids Had no idea what we were getting ourselves into I spent those years under your thumb Giving into your every command You’re everything that’s become wrong And yet no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t see a future without you in my life You can say you’re Romeo and I’ll be Juliet But tell me Princess didn’t you ever read the end? This future of you and I just can’t last I love you but I can still remember How the world isn’t ready for our love So sorry Romeo but I’

Denial by daqu, literature

Literature

Denial

I’m falling fast but running hard No idea, but I’ve got to try Holding onto hope That you’ll be there for me After the storm clears away I know that I hurt you I know what you said You’d rather be here But I’d rather be there Until the storm clears away I need you like never before Never thought I’d feel like this I told myself to be strong You were supposed to be gone from my life You hurt me, you broke me, you love me And I know that I have no right To ask what I need of you But in the end you’re all that matters And so I try There you are, so beautiful Standing there waving at me Your

Grounded by daqu, literature

Literature

Grounded

I know it’s the last thing you want to hear How deeply I’m in love with you I wish you would say you wanted something That I was unable to give ‘Cause I’ve finally discovered What in you completes me Take my parents, take my friends Take my house, take me away I never thought there would be Someone to hold me still Yet somehow my mind keeps drifting back to you I need some concrete for my mind Something to tuck me in at night ‘Cause in this world I’m detached and cold But still I want you to hold My mind is on a one-way trip Back when you said you loved me For the first time, I didn’t need t

Strength by daqu, literature

Literature

Strength

Watched the sun set from west to east And our love was eternal Trying so hard to lick hurt wounds Only hurting that much more I want so badly to say Just exactly what’s on my mind Heart mind and soul Will always love you Life’s pulling me one way You’re going your own Want my heart and its forever yours Although I know it’s wrong I need the strength to pull this through To go on in life without you Don’t wanna give up, not gonna give in Cause my ultimate power is on my side Lifting me up higher and higher Falling down harder and harder I need the strength to pull this through Watched the sun set fro

Bitter Pill of the Heart by daqu, literature

Literature

Bitter Pill of the Heart

Waking and seeing you next to me Smiling down on the girl of your dreams A life of paradise, of eternal love Of tire swings and restless young Just you and me, to block out the world Trying to piece my broken heart When the sun sets in the east When evil smiles down on me When the moon appears at noon Purple clouds, earthly stars For the minute that lasts an hour The bitter pill of the heart

Sunsets by daqu, literature

Literature

Sunsets

Goodbye lover Goodbye friend Thought I’d be with you til the end Never in my wildest dreams Did I see us here You stuck in your world And me stuck in mine I was supposed to help you through Be your solid rock When you had nowhere to stand We were supposed to run off together Have our happy ending Always together and never apart Do you lay awake at night Wondering like I do How life would have been if I would’ve listened To your advice that haunts me every setting of the sun Told myself that I’d be fine Without you in my life Who needed the plans we’d made for ourselves? With nowhere to go, only each oth

Identity by daqu, literature

Literature

Identity

Until the day comes When I’m no longer me I must stand and fight For everything I’m meant to be For until my heart sings A melody of normality I must stand and fight For everything I’m meant to be From the core of my soul I hope it never comes But in my heart I know the truth One day I’ll have to face my past And I’ll wish I hadn’t Stood and fought For everything I was never meant to be

Transitions by daqu, literature

Literature

Transitions

No matter where you look There’s peace and quietude everywhere. No matter what you do You’re accepted here. I feel so at home I know that I belong Here and nowhere else. Now it’s time for me to go To leave my own safe haven I reluctantly pack Make my way to the door And go out to the real world. No matter where you look There’s people and noise everywhere. No matter what you do You’re unnoticed here. I feel so alone I know that I am out of place Away from my safe haven.

In Your Eyes by daqu, literature

Literature

In Your Eyes

I was lost and wandering All around with no destination I was weak and in need Of someone to be my strength I was lonely and only wanted Someone to call my friend Then I met you, you perfect being With your aura of golden glow You took my hand and said to me, “Just tell me what is wrong.” I talked and talked For what seemed like forever But you never once complained You just held me and assured me That everything was going to be okay It was then that you convinced me That in your eyes I am perfect In your eyes I don’t have to be strong That my fears are what make me human And my faults are what make me me Be

My Lord And Master by daqu, literature

Literature

My Lord And Master

I wake in darkness I sleep in darkness I live in darkness I dream in darkness Everywhere around me I can’t escape its call No matter how hard I try to hide It knows exactly where to find me Come now, my love, it says You know this is where you belong You can sit here all day And play games with yourself But you know as well as I That I am your lord and master So save me, my master From who I’ve become If I’m really so important to you If you love me so Then shield my eyes from the light I wake in darkness Never a sound I am alone and I am blind You are the only one Who can save me from my pain I know in

Sweet Lies by daqu, literature

Just Holding Onto Faith by daqu, literature

Literature

Just Holding Onto Faith

In a world that’s all so gray You’re my one and only saving grace Tell me in your heart I’ll forever stay And there we are, back to that same place Never knowing, never showing Just holding onto faith Tell me time and time again That you’ll love me till the end of time I’ll always smile and agree Just ‘cause you are there for me Tremendous lies, beautiful disguise Just holding onto faith Something in me’s saying To give this one last shot One more time to see this to the end A deadly game of keeps once more Dangerous games, no one saves Just holding onto faith

A World Forgotten by daqu, literature

Literature

A World Forgotten

Watching the blood run Feeling the tears pour Hearing the laughter ring Loving the girl next door Thoughts are running through the brain Each one exactly the same Run from love, don’t turn back Never give in, never give up Gotta keep the longing running The painful trial never ends The clock is ticking, the heart is beating Time has stopped A world forgotten Never gonna run back Never gonna cry that name Never gonna wake up In the middle of the night To hear the deafening silence

Did You Think I Loved You? by daqu, literature

Literature

Did You Think I Loved You?

All those times when you held my hand And I would smile a genuine smile Then you would stop and turn to face me And wrap your arms around me tightly But did you really think I loved you Even after the hell I put you through? Did you look up into the stars And wish me goodnight because I was never there? Did you really think I loved you After I subtly tried to push you away And did you really think I loved you With everything you faced alone? Every night when you would call me I’d make up an excuse to go Apologize but not be sorry Never sorry to see you go. I noticed when you did the same Did you really think I loved you?

Because I Love You by daqu, literature

Literature

Because I Love You

Baby, it hurts that I love you this much Cuz as much as I try to convince myself, I know it’s not just a crush The sun now shines just a little brighter I take a second look in the mirror My world around me just seems to much clearer All because I love you They say we’re too young To know what love really is I’ve heard it all before Go in one ear and out the other Who are they to tell me I’m not in love with you When you call me now I smile I’ll drop everything to help you out You know I’d do anything for you All because I love you

It's Been Forever

0 min read

Wow. The last journal entry I posted on here was April 09, almost a year ago. Let's see, what's happened in my life since last April? Nearly my whole senior year. I got back together with Courtney in September, then we broke up again in December, and now we have an amazingly comfortable friendship. I'm going to Murray State University in Kentucky, and I'm going to double major in creative writing and psychology, mostly because I have to have at least one major and one minor, and creative writing and psychology are two things I could study forever. They may be the only two things I can. I can't help but think that deviantART represents a whol
