Bounce 

by: EJ

He made us sit around the room,

Give the next teammate some praise,

When it came around to the beautiful green-eyed girl,

She called on me,

She told me she was impressed with me,

When I came back to the team,

She said she'd never seen someone bounce back so fast,

Hearing those words,

A single praise,

Touched me in a way I haven't felt in quite awhile,

She got me thinking,

I've always felt I've never accomplished anything,

But perhaps I was wrong,

In those words she showed me hope again,

If I can get my soccer groove back so quickly,

Maybe I can do the same with myself,

And get myself out of this depth of despair,

I hear the words in my head,

You can bounce back from anything,

Its possible.

Ms. Stone

by: EJ

I saw a picture of you today,

The sight of your face made me smile,

But it also broke my heart a little,

Knowing you'll never be mine again,

Why am I constantly held up by you,

My life waiting on you,

To come back around to me,

I never should have let you you,

But I did,

And for the first time ever,

I have a real regret,

Cause I do love you,

But if I told you now,

I'm sure you'd think I'm crazy,

The moment has come and gone,

Its too late to tell you the truth,

Unless you come back to me somehow,

You'll never know,

That I've loved you from the beginning.

Stormy Weather

by: EJ

Clouds are rolling in fast,

Its getting pretty stormy here,

The rain streaming down my face,

Lightning striking in my heart,

Thoughts spinning around in a whirlwind,

Everything is such a blur,

Once again I'm stuck in all the destruction,

While debris continues to fall around me,

I only have myself for protection,

And that itself doesn't say much,

I need to find a good storm chaser,

To predict these atmospheric disturbances,

So I can have time,

To run for cover and save myself,

This weather is consuming everything around me,

Is it time to admit that I'm scared of the dark,

Can I survive this time,

Can I say afloat with so many waves of sorrow,

Will I ever make it out,

Just to discover all along,

I'd locked myself in a basement,

And it had all been an illusion.

Marie

by: EJ

I was the typical dumbass,

Broke up with her for no reason,

Even though I only wanted to be with her,

She stopped talking to me,

I miss her more everyday,

I deleted her number off my phone,

So I wouldn't call or text her,

Trying not to think of her,

Inadvertently I've memorized her number,

I can't bring myself to delete her off my buddy lists online,

Leaving that last line of connection to her,

Shes constantly on my mind lately,

She's moved on,

While I'm left here wanting her back,

I know she knows how I feel,

But what does she think of it,

Could she ever possibly want me back,

To give me another chance,

Hell I'd be happy with just seeing her,

She's in my heart for a reason,

And I can't ignore that.
