Stories of Incredibly Beautiful People

The Selfless

God smiled when he made you.
But unfortunately it was something you never knew.
Maybe an even deeper secret was that I smiled too.

When you let others cause you pain,
because you lived for them to gain.
I knew you were magic
Even though the people you loved were so tragic.

They never could see everything you were to me.
Instead they ripped you apart saying they wanted more than you could be.
Stabbing at your heart that you gave so free, and left you to bleed.
Making you feel like you were less than anyone needs.
And over time so help me God… They got you to believe.

…I saw you hit the ground.
Dropping pound by pound.
And forever I will forget the sound.
I swear my soul left my lungs. I couldn't breathe, I stood there astound.
But after I got closer, I put my hand on your shoulder and turned you over,
and in your eyes I realized... you couldn’t be found.

Christ! I tried so hard to stop them, but it was too late.
The damage they did was far too great.
I tried so hard to show your gorgeous reflection in my tearing eyes… but I couldn’t stop fate.

…I cried when I went to pray
Over your body that lay.
I screamed This isn’t right! It shouldn’t be this way!
This girl was too selfless for this world to take away!
…But the sun had already set on a once in a lifetime perfect day…

Since then I gave my life to a never ending fight
To show you the light
That for some reason can only be seen by my sight.

I’ll stay by your body forever
Because I’m the only one here that can remember
…and I know that in my mind… you will die NEVER!

The Life After

The days we were together are the best thoughts I can remember.
Did you know you changed me forever?
You helped me to see all the locked potential I could ever be.
You set my heart free in a place I never wanted to leave
but it seems In heaven you loved me
and In life you won't even talk to me.

I can tell you about the nights I wake up and cry
from the dreams of all the moments that have passed us by
and how I go through my whole day wondering why.

How could you just let yourself die?
You were too valuable just to say goodbye.
Did you believe their lies?
Is that why you didn't even try?

Well what about me?
What about my thoughts and my dreams
and how does it feel to shut your eyes to my screams?

I hope you know it's not easy being alone.
Every day the same meaningless drone.
and no matter how many possessions I earn...
I feel there is nothing to own.

Despite you thinking you're so easily replaced... I didn't move on.
You have a piece of me you took when you left and now it's gone.

It's a shame that you'll never know
that someone really loved you so.
Someone you meant a lot to...
Someone who didn't want to see you go.

I don't think you realized the impact.
that you had the power to make someone's soul intact
and I'm sorry if it turns out I lack the power to help you see that fact.

I can't help but wonder how easy it was to leave
the only person who ever wanted to help you see?
Did you even take a moment to greave?
Or did you really believe
that you weren't good for me?

What did you think, that without you I would be great?
Like I wouldn't curse fate?
Be on my way and find peace with another mate?
Like anyone else could just find the key to my heart's gate?

Well you were wrong
and if you ask me it's been far too long.
Everyday is a fight just to remember myself and stay strong.
The only thing that keeps me going is the hope that someday you'll come along.

You were the best.
I still wear you on my heart like a shining crest
and I'll never forget.

It Hasn't Been Easy

As I look back over all this time
and all the things I’ve tried
I ask myself the reasons why.

The answer is easy even though I’ve suffered a lot.
Been scarred by all the battles I’ve fought,
but it’s worth it for all the things you’ve brought.

Dare I say I’m better off through it all.
Because of all this I no longer fall.
If anything I’ve learned to stand tall.

But that’s not the reason
I’ve been through all these seasons.

Even though you don’t believe me you renewed my faith
that it’s still possible for a person to be something great.
And even to this day when I look back I thank fate
that when I met you it wasn’t too late.

I knew inside you were kind.
The way you acted toward people showed me all the signs.
and though you tried to make it hard to find
The love you still held onto always shined.
I could see it when you looked at me and it cured me from being blind.

But even then I could see you were dying inside.
Slowly being smothered by a world that took your pride.
A lifetime of people feeding you lies.
And the death of the only person you loved caused your emotions to hide.
For some reason it was my dream to be that person with whom you could confide,
and I can’t believe how hard I’ve tried.

All the things I’ve created
that through your silence I’ll never know if they’re loved or hated.

And even though I still can’t tell
the reason why I know you so well
or why it hurts me so much that you fell
I still feel you’re worth all the hell.

I thought you had the potential to make the world a better place someday
and I was so surprised to see you give up and slowly fade away.
I wanted to help you but no matter what I couldn’t keep that at bay
and I feel like I’ve failed in some way.

Maybe I didn’t go about it right.
Maybe I put up too much of a fight.
But I wanted so much for you to see the light
and know that you’ll be alright.

Even though I’d probably try something different
I’d still do it all over again in an instant
and maybe the second time you wouldn’t be so distant.

In the end it never mattered to me if I got anything in return.
I did it for you because I wanted you to learn
that you were more than worth the concern
and maybe you wouldn’t make some of the wrong turns.

I saw a lot of myself in you
even though the same choices we didn’t choose.
And I hope you believe me when I say I really didn’t want you to loose.
I didn’t want anything bad to happen to you because you’ve always been my muse.

But I find the whole thing has forced me to be better
even through all the futile effort, the unanswered letters,
and the realization that we’ll never be together.

Because of you I looked into a mirror, and what I saw was no surprise.
But it made me remember all of the things I had already realized.

All the things I’ve done for you
I deserve too.
And for that refresher in something I already knew
I thank you.
But I will still pray that someday that will be something you can do.

Don't Die Forever

Hi but it's not me.
It's not me because you don't know what I've seen.
I won't let you in because you or I don't want to know where I've been.
It's better this way trust me.
I'll be the lie and say hi this time... It's what I do everyday.


What if what you say in your lie isn't true?
That lying isn't really what you want to do?
It's something you say, but it's really not that way.
If it were it wouldn’t hurt every time you pick a role to play.


If you see all this in me, then you must know I'll never let it free.
I'm too afraid of what this reality has made me.
Too many lifetimes I've spent picking up pieces of myself to mend.
Crying because I'm soo tired of trying to put it all back together

...Just to have it cracked again.


I won't pry past you're lies. I have no desire to stir up what's inside.
However I know you miss her, because you're always in mourning to kiss her.
You always write about her as if she were the passion of your life.
The light in the middle of your night…
A labor of love that shows your inner might.


Please leave me to rest in my own eternal death.
Let me turn off my true emotion and stop the corrosion.
I don't want to remember all the pain, it will give me nothing to gain.
I don't care if what you see inside me will never be.
Just leave me here to lie, maybe someday I won't cry.


Without emotion you'll never experience life’s full ocean.
The screams from inside will never subside, no matter how hard you hide.
Because parts of you aren’t here, ones that somewhere you hold very dear.
And no matter how famous your Essence, it will never fill the void that is your presence.
But you have plenty of time, and when it's right... then you'll fight.
Someday you'll be able to bring yourself back to life without all the strife.

...The day you remember.

Misunderstanding

Do you know the pain of loving someone so much, but having no joy to gain?
To try so hard, over and over to show them how you feel, but still to them it isn't real?
I stood by her side for years, dropped a thousand tears, but still she shows me nothing more than her fears.


She's too afraid of the emotion she's made. She hides behind her mask and lets the truth fade.
She runs away and has nothing to say. She never looks back for fear of another attack.
You knew all this, and that because of it there would be no bliss.


This is far too much to miss. I've tried so hard to give her everything without so much as a kiss.
She takes and takes, without ever giving anything back... It's too much to lack.
The rope that held us together has been giving slack.
I feel it is now too loose, and it will become our noose.


Know the reason she tries so hard to be so far.

Love to her is the same as pain, it's the reason for all her disdain.
Every time she tried to open herself up she would be crushed, beat and tortured into mush.
So be that as it may, she locked it all away.. somewhere deep where it would never see the light of day.

In order to bring her back you have prove her wrong with something more than a song.
In order for her to see love, you must help her rise above.
Beyond her past, into something that will always last.
Slowly open her eyes selflessly, only then will she be able to see someone who loves her endlessly.


~People fall in love with beauty, if you are blind to beauty there can be no love unless someone opens your eyes.~

The Under Appreciated

I miss the woman that was within
before she knew that this would begin.

The one who saw things clear.
The one I could talk to before the fear.

Before, when my most complex thoughts could flow
in a place where together we would both grow.
And now I know how much I miss the one I never kissed
but none the less I now confess
she was just as much a part of me as all the ones I caressed.

Her memory lives in me.
Paused in a moment where she was all that she could be.
The thought of her eyes burns through my mind with the heat of a high degree.
I wanted her to be free, but even then I knew it was never meant to be.
The thought of something I wished could be more than a fantasy.
I can only pray that someday that dream will be a reality.

I hope she knows she's missed wherever she lay
and that we did wake up and say
Where is the girl that died for us and went away?
and that we'd give anything to have her back again one day.

Why Do You Keep It Inside?

Why do you keep it inside?

A place you yourself cannot find.
A place you dare not look
Because it’s a closed book
The part of you that’s happy just to be
When you’re in love and flying so free.

Why do you keep it inside?

A place no one else can find.
You try so hard to hide how you feel.
You lock it away for no one to steal
when you think you lack the courage to deal.
But because of it you cannot heal
and instead hurt the part you try to protect
with all the neglect.

Why do you keep it inside?

Because there’s more to you than meets the eye.
A part of you that will not die
A love that will always exist inside.
It’s something you yourself must find.

It’s who you are…

Give It Back

Do you know the pain of giving so much love but never getting any back
But instead you're always under attack
So you search and search for someone who will see your light without a fight
Who will always appreciate you and treat you right.

So you pray and pray that you'll meet someone someday who will finally see you for who you are
and love you so much that they would never stray far
Why? Because they see and feel the love you give
Because they know they're your only reason to live.

But once you see all this in me
Please be kind and try to find
a little piece of this inside
And when you're sure you feel the same way don't wait another day
to tell me that and give it back.

The Beautiful People

For all of us standing by
waiting with a tear in our eye.
We shout in our hearts. When will be the time
when there will be no crime!

There are a lot of us who feel this way you see.
Those of us who have so much inside but just don’t know what to be
so we keep it all inside and stand idle like a tree
and oh do we wait patiently.

In our daily lives
we are there by our loved ones sides.
When they make mistakes we show them the way in strides
and when we can’t help them we hurt in secret inside.
We are the good, we are the enlightened, and by God de we try

Every day we find ourselves in a war that we fight.
An endless struggle to show our fellow man the foolishness of their plight

Can’t they see that this very day
would be so much better if they would just let us show them the way.
For God’s sake, ours, and your own listen to what we say!
We swear life could be better someday!

But no. Our thoughts, our actions, our love, and our words fall on deaf ears
so we stand by and watch the world throughout the years
be consumed by temptation and its fears.
Yet still we wish that we could help as our faces fill with tears
but then… the answer is clear.

Raise your head up from the ground
look around
and be proud.
We are the people you meet on the street that can smile and turn your world upside down.
Then lend an ear and listen for the sound
of a million and one people just waiting to be found.
If we all got together we would make everything better, and so help me we will astound
and make this whole world come around.

We are the people that cry when they watch the news.
The people who care and always speak the truth.
We are the artists, the lovers, and the peace makers who if you let us would be your muse.
Because whether you know it or not we love you.


~For all of us who feel every day like they were put here to make this world better, know your you’re not alone.~
