Nina gáspari Poems

I have laughed genuine laughter
I have cried necessary tears
I have stood out when I really wanted to disappear
I have held things very close to my heart
...

When I made all those silly wishes upon the stars
When I told you never to change, always preserve who you are
When I had you close my heart
When I cried almost every day of my life
...

Stripped of all fears
There´s no point in wearing a mask..here
Stripped of past insecurities
You have taught me to believe
...

I remember your smile
So let me sit back and think about it for a while
Maybe I should put it down into words
Ain´t it crazy how life goes?
...

I will never give my heart away again
I will never listen to what my heart tells me again
I will never open up about my feelings in vain
I will never even try to feel those butterflies again
...

Ask me a question
And I might answer it
Ask me a favor
And I will definitely do it
...

And you know me
I´m as optimistic as i can be
But something´s happened
A sad sentiment´s gotten over me
...

I´m finding it hard to smile today
Even tho I can´t find one particular reason
To why my body feels this odd way
Smiling feels way too heavy to be performed
...

You have given me life
You are the reason to my painful cry
So many times in the past I have tried
Tried to ignore what´s too painful to be remembered
...
