Mistaken by Claudia Kouakou

7/21/2009

I thought we had it all.
But you let what was left fall.
You let burn until it turned into ashes.
Took mh heart abd then smashed it.
Threw the lies in face.
Then left our love without a trace.
Smile on your face, darkness in your heart.
You knew what you were doing from the start.
Made my life your twisted art.
Took the paint brush and stroked the disaster.
Aboandoned me, laying there after.
Your malicious laugh and your plan is done.
But, you have the mistaken idea that you've won.

Desire and Time by Claudia Kouakou

6/30/2009

As I lay here in my domain of consciousness, I begin to think of what i really desire.
The hopes and dreams of successfulness and true happiness.
The feeling of love and tenderness to make me strong.
Or the feeling of security and being assured.
Knowing that all my efforts have come along.
But all those things can be secondary when you can not share.
That even with what I desire I still am missing.
The feeling to finally know that I have someone that I can call my own.
The one I turn to when the world feels alone.
The presence I can feel in my heart.
Can never be replaced even if were apart.
The true desire to have everything and share it.
Then the realization sets in.
And I remember that it was never missing.
That I have yet to find it, when its my time.
And when the time comes, it will happen at a drop of a dime.
Because I know greatness is soon to come.

Inner Fear[Twin} by Claudia Kouakou

6/30/2009

Do I purposely avoid love because of fear?
Do i iqnore the siqns has if i could not hear?
Maybe its the fear of what could happen next.
The ability to just let myself go and fall into the unknown.
Do i fear the pain or the hurt?
Or the fact i miqht fall in to deep and scare myself.
To love somethinq so much then have to let it go.
The illusion that i manifest in my mind of what love should be.
Have i been hidinq from what was obviously in front of me.

I wipe the tears from these eyes.
Hide the feelings that hurt me inside.
Hide from the world that is unknown.
Cry from the things that will never be right.
Run from myself and it's inner fight.
Seem like everything that was something is nothing. Everything i believed is all a lie.
I watch eveything go and die.
See dreams and hopes fall.
And realized it wasnt anything at all.

Brown Eyes by Claudia Kouakou

5/9/2009

Brown Eyes

Look into my brown eyes and dnt lie to me.
Tell me wuld you die for me?
Look into my brown eyes and tell me you love me.
Dnt walk away like all tha others.
Because I don't think i can find another.
Don't leave me here in tears and let me cry.
Because that means you didnt try.
Don't leave me alone with my heart.
Because you took at tha start.
Look into my brown eyes and tell me tha truth.
I dpn't want you to lie because I can see the proof.
Look into my brown eyes and tell me you meant everything. Look into my brown eyes and let me know you're there. Please tell me all tha lies aren't true.
I hope there not because i love you.
Again look into my brown eyes and don't lie to me.
I meant what i said before when i asked would you die for me?

Always On My Mind by Claudia Kouakou

5/13/2009

Damn, why are you constantly on my mind.
Like you burned your picture in my brain and put a bind.
Your in my dreams, haunting me with your wanted presence.
I gladly welcome your down to earth essence.
Snap shots of your face flash through my memory.
You can save my heart from its long recovery.
Love your smile , and love your lyrical talent.
Rap words that consciencely remain in my brain.
Your my sunshine through the rain.

I wish I could tell you what was wrong.
But the honest truth is I don't even the answer.
I feel lost and out of my element yet where I'm suppose to be at the same time,
Joyous, happy and careless at this point in time.
But I can only express my confusion in this literary rhyme.
The trival times of a teenager trying to find peace.
So as we go through the ups and downs of life.
I won't forget to live it and I will achieve what im looking for.

I Can't See it by Claudia Kouakou

5/13/2009

You often hear the expression see it to believe it.
But there are many things we can not see.
Love can not be seen or something we wish to be.
Yet we feel and express it in every aspect of our being.
We feel the reprecutions of its wrath.
or the sweet gentle touch of its care,
So because we can't see it,does it mean it not there?
An invisable thing we persist,
Thus, love does exist.

I see the tear drops running down my face.
My old emotions holding up vastly space.
Life freezing and barely moving at a active pace.
Standing at the frozen ice land that I call my heart.
Blocking everything that tries to past by its barriers.
Watching all the ice sculptures of my tears freeze.
There is no calm gentle breeze.
Far far away in the distance I feel a warmth trying to escape.
But I question this with much doubt.
To my surprise the warmth isn't burning me yet.

One Day by Claudia Kouakou

5/1/2010

I want to wake up to that good morning text from you.
The last person at night i want to talk too.
See you in my dreams and my reality.
In your arms is the only place i want to be.
There i feel love beyond words could explain.
Theres nothing wrong, so i cant ever complain.
Swear you were custom made.
Im so happy i can call you my babe.
The love inside is forever a burning flame.
And it will eternally remain the same.
Even if i don't know your name.

Losing myself in a land of dreams.
Something like a Alice in Wonderland kinda thing.
Perfect scenarios not quite what they seem.
Happy pictures and oblivious smiles, crumbling away like broken tiles.
Having this movie going on and on.
Watching every scene until its gone.
Tears rolling down the face of a girl.
Yet she does not know why.
She's happy yet sometimes still cries.
Hiding behind her emotions, even though the world trys to pry. Making as much effort, though she wonder why she bothers to try.
Time flying by like a clock on fast forward.
Hard to break free when you feel bordered.
But life is life.
A crazy roller coaster creation. You decide what comes true in your realization.

Back In My Life by Claudia Kouakou

2/26/2008

Your back into my life once again.

Now you have me questioning thongs that at one time used to make sense.

You have me putting up my guard all the time.
You have me thinking too much and I'm confused.
I don't know which way to take.

My thoughts in all kind of arrangements.
Not sure what to believe.
Stop messing with my emotions.
Stop putting me on this roller coaster of tears.
Starting to go back to the dark corner I onced feared.

Fighting with myself to make the right decision.
Just like a doctor trying to the right incision.
Giving me an headache fighting with the good and the evil.
All because your back in my life again.

I hear and see so many lies. Have no clue why it took me so long to realize.

Why I acted like everything was okay.
When I wasn't sure about the following day.
I look at the monster they have made.
When the scars finally but slowly fade.
Confused thoughts hidden under the darkness of the shade.

The demostration of frustration.
The perfect example of empty explanations.
The emotions that exposed and discovered.

Smiles change from angelic to devilish.
But I can't let it hold me down.

Rejected by Claudia Kouakou

2/25/2008

I feel like a complete dumbass to believe what wasn't true.
How I had thoughts that never even mattered. My left broken and in tatters. Rushing emotions that I can't control. And I sit and watch them dip down my face. Wasted so much time on something I never had.Rejected. Who said you can miss what you didn't have? Want to run away and hide. Holding the pieces of my broken prise. Sinking into a hole of my own insecurity. Try hard to hold back the words that fill my head. I should of noticed since so long. Never knew it would hurt this bad. Rejected.

Breaking Free by Claudia Kouakou

2/25/2008

I'm breaking free and being me.
Not a care in the world what people say.
I'm going to do it my way,the only way I know how.
Many pains brought along strength.
I can make it through the dark and accomplish light.
Learning many wrongs from rights.
The laws of life lie out in front of me.
But I'm finally breaking free.

2/25/2008

Tears fall and love dies. Emotional and psyical ties.

Faces will eventually fade but the pain never goes away.

Thoughts and moments will be forgotten but other things will stray.

The weather may change,but feelings never do.

They may fall out your heart but will always leave prints on your soul.

A part of you will always be missing. Always knowing the person has the other part, and smashed it.

There will never be another to match it.
The sun sets and the moon will arisee.
It's when the heart crys.

Even the day you parish, your love never will.

Not Heard by Claudia Kouakou

2/25/2008

I scream at the top of my lungs but nobody hears me.
In this place I'm all alone. Just there like nobody cares.
I kick and sceam, I cry and yell. I wish I could get out of this hell. I sit in confusion and frustration. Praying for a resolution. But I'm not heard.

You'll Never Know by Claudia Kouakou

12/12/2007

You'll never know how I feel.
I'm not even sure if your real.
You'll never know how much I care,or how much I miss you when your not there. You'll never know that your smile makes me smile.You'll never know that when I look into your eyes, I realize you'll never love me. For me there is no other. But when I look into your eyes I see emotions that belong to another. You'll never know that I feel for you. You'll never know that I tryed to let you go. You'll never know that I don't want to. You'll never know that I want you to be my boo. You'll never know that I want you to hold. That I think of you has my world. You'll never know that tears fall from these eyes. I know that you will never realize. You'll never have the feelings I have for you. You'll never know.

At a young age I've experienced hurt and rejection.
yet I constinously leave my heart open.
Just for it to indure another hole.
or shall I close it so i won't be hurt once to many.
The question lies in the depth of my heart.
searching for an answer with endless possibilities.
as my heart takes another sweet but revengeful journey that we call love.
Or is it the blindfold of love disguised, lust.
