Missing You

 

In the midst of the day

I think of something you might say

Even in moments of despair

I wish you could be there

No matter what I do

I find myself missing you

– Emily Blank

​

​

The Other Me

​

Every human is a walking book

If only you'd take a moment to look

No I don't mean just a glance

I mean a movie of their life in advance

Only then would you see

I am another you, you another me

– Emily Blank

​

Dream Big

​

Take a leap of faith

Don't just do what's safe

Have the guts to risk it all

Most are too afraid to fall

It's the possibility of a dream come true

That makes this life worth it to do

So take the path less traveled by

Only the brave will qualify

– Emily Blank

 

Heaven 'N' Hell

​

This place we live, it's no heaven, it's no hell

It is what it is and that's the sad truth as well

You see, everything comes with good & bad

Once you accept that you won't be so sad

Maybe that's why utopia doesn't exist

We as humans demand to persist

Stop fighting for perfection

Instead love one another and show affection

– Emily Blank

 

Empty

​

Not a day goes by

Where you don't see her cry

She wears a mask just like the rest

But still there is a sadness deep in her chest

A hole so deep, the depths of the ocean can't compare

You can try and fill it, if you dare

She says she's too broken, beyond repair

All she wants is for someone to care

She's a sad girl with a heavy heart

Maybe one day, the sadness will part

– Emily Blank

 

The Sea

​

Take me to the sea

Where all my worries flee

As the waves crash on the shore

So does peace into my core

– Emily Blank

 

Getaway Car

​

You're better than you think you are

You could've even been a star

But you took the emotional getaway car

Leaving behind your dreams afar

Remember it's better late than never

Because we don't live forever

And you can still be the best ever

To succeed you must endeavor

– Emily Blank

 

Departed

​

One of the best things I had departed

The way it all went down left me so broken hearted

Don't leave me, not like this

I still need to give you your goodbye kiss

I can't do this, not without you

I hate that there is nothing else I can do

Love doesn't just disappear or go away

I hope to see you again, someday

– Emily Blank

 

You

​

You make me happy

You make me sad

You listen to what I have to say

You always seem to understand

You make me feel good

Like maybe a drug would

I'm not used to this feeling

But I thank you for the healing

– Emily Blank

​

Beautiful Soul

​

Looks do not impress me anymore

Because when I cannot see your face

I can begin to feel your soul

A different kind of embrace

– Emily Blank

​

Colors

​

Maybe one day

Life won't be so gray

And I will see the colors

Just like the others

– Emily Blank
