Daydream by Lily M
People hear my story & ask me how I smile everyday
Are you really that happy or are you being fake The answer is simple: My faith For all that is possible and not possible because I can daydream And see it come true Close my eyes and grin as if I’m reminiscing like its déjà vu Yes, it’s that simple I’m a lover of love and I live to live So deeply I intertwine myself with the pleasures of simple joys Like being able to run a hot, clean shower All my family members live 10 minutes away How I wake up every morning to same beautiful man & have dinner with him each day Yes, bad things happen But look at the good around you Don’t block your blessings because a boulder is in your way Did you look above you and see the majestic sky Did you not get this far, Are you not still standing Even if the last person you had failed you, You are never alone Smell the sweet air, Run your toes through the grass |
Stare at a bird on an electrical wire or take a walk on the sand
Money doesn’t buy you peace The last time I checked those things were free If that doesn’t work then daydream I’ve imagined my wedding day at least 200 times A backyard with tulle and flowers flowing from a gazebo Lights strung above, flowers floating in the pool A man singing as I walk down the aisle My fiancé's face when he sees me, Me crying listening to his vows Yes, I do The best day of my life I’ve envisioned you Later we’ll retire on your land and you’ll push me on our swing After dinner, you’ll lie beside me on the hammock Hanging from our mango tree That will be so sweet When did a daydream hurt anyone Every success and accomplishment began with a dream The hope which gives you faith if you believe in yourself enough To make them come true Daydream, what’s the worst that can happen to you |
807 by Lily MIn 8 07 we locked eyes
I must say fine at first sight, who would have though you’d be mine Uncovering all your hidden treasures, to planning our forever What about the end of us, will you promise me never Love grows, emotions rise, passion’s there, but why can’t I Just give you space right now, to be in your blue funk But I just want your red desire Higher, you take me, every time you pull me closer But your lips you won’t split apart, you opt for cold shoulder You think I ‘m being nice to you because I’m always nice But like a chameleon I am hiding in the grace of your love The spikes on my back, the horns beneath my crown Wont show for you even in pain I drown You’re special that way For others, I was nice because that’s what Christians are supposed to do But for you, you, that’s what love makes you do I have put you on a pedestal and I have not renounced your crown Not because I am holding on to hope but because that’s how you hold someone down I praise the good and bad of you, like you are my own I love the hell out of you and burn into your soul I cannot force the strong and stubborn man you are to see the world the way I do I can only show you how your love makes me see the world when I’m next to you I know you now, maybe not 100% and it is what it is my dear But that’s not stopping me to come to this place now without fear I dare you to hold onto my hand and give me your heart We can mix your world of logic and caution with mine of rainbows and glitter as long as we are walking to forever, whatever that is for us, but just be together with the same curiosity we shared as strangers in 807 |
Dead Silence by Lily MDead silence
Not a fly, not a bird, not my heart Has made a sound But images keep flashing Round and round And finally I yell out STOP I just want to sleep A full night without Waking up and wishing you were near No, here with me |
