The Ignored Voice
——————————-
Many times I’ve wondered
Asked questions all around
But have never heard an answer
Have never heard a sound
But when others ask the questions
I repeat them all around
And those are the times they hear me
And find the voice I’ve found.
A poem by Fabienne Riccoboni
BREATHE
——————
Verse 1:
I just can’t stop
It’s taking over
The memories of you
And I can’t take it
It’s killing me inside.
And I can’t breathe
No, no
Without you with me
You were the air to my fire
Keeping me alive.
What I would give
To have you back
So just here me out
One more time.
——————————————-
Chorus:
If you give me one more chance
I promise you
We’ll make it through
Because can’t you see
I need you desperately?
Oh yes,
I’m feeling low
So all I need
Is one more chance
One more chance
One more chance,
To breathe.
————————————————
Verse 2:
When I see you
Walking by
It hurts that much more
To know that I messed up
I didn’t pass the test.
I feel sick
And it hurts so bad
My heart is aching
It feels so broken
Crumbling down.
I’m drowning
Can’t you see
I’m going under
Again.
———————————-
Chorus:
If you give me one more chance
I promise you
We’ll make it through
Because can’t you see
I need you desperately?
Oh yes,
I’m feeling low
So all I need
Is one more chance
One more chance
One more chance,
To breathe.
—————————————————
Verse 3:
I wanna breathe again
Stay alive
Let exhileration fill me
(Oh woah, oh woah)
Only you can keep me alive
And stop the ache consuming me
Because you’re the magic
That keeps me going.
—————————————————
Chorus:
So just give me one more chance
I promise you
We’ll make it through
Because can’t you see
I need you desperately?
Oh yes,
And if you take me back
We’ll both get on the right track
So all I need
All I need
Is one more chance
One more chance
One more chance,
To breathe.

Wish For Me
Verse 1
I wonder sometimes
If you ever think of me
And when you see a far off star
Do you wish for me?
Do you wish what I wish
That I was in your arms
When it seems like we’re
A universe apart.
So tonight if you see
A shooting star
Think of me
And my beating heart.
CHORUS:
Because I need you more then anything
Right here next to me
My other half, my other life
You set my soul free
No one else can make me
Feel the way you do
And I need you now, so please
Wish for me.
Verse 2
I’m the only one
Who understands you perfectly
And no matter what they say
You’re meant to be with me
Beacuse hearts only glow
When souls are on fire
And when I feel that way
I fly so much higher.
So tonight if you see
A shooting star
Think of me
And my lonely heart.
CHORUS:
Because I need you more then anything
Right here next to me
My other half, my other life
You set my soul free
No one else can make me
Feel the way you do
And I need you now, so please
Wish for me.
Verse 3
I’m lying all alone
(I need you now)
I’m feeling so cold
(So cold)
I need your wish right now
(Right now)
Please Baby, oh please.
CHORUS:
Beacuse I need you more then anything
Right here next to me
My other half, my other life
You set my soul free
No one else can make me
Feel the way you do
And I need you now, so please
Wish for me
Oh yes, wish for me.

You mean so much to Me
I used to be so different,
My life was black and white,
An old time moving picture,
Nothing seemed right.
Life just kept going by,
One snapshot at a time,
Even though I was happy,
My heart was never fine.
But when I found you,
You were different then the rest,
Electricity sparked between us,
With a touch or small caress.
Chorus:
And just with you standing there,
It seems like I’m falling in open air,
And colors brighten everything.
I think about you all the time,
Your laugh, Your smile, and how you’re mine,
And you affect me that much you see,
Because, you mean so much to me.
Verse 2:
If there was no sun,
You would be my light,
And when you hold me close,
Everything’s alright.
My heart and soul are so alive,
All because of you.
You are my everything,
My wish come true.
*CHORUS*
Verse 3:
Nothing could amount to you,
No present at all.
Your smile brightens up the day,
A kiss makes my world fall.
And now that I have you,
My star from the sky,
I will never ever let you go,
Or ever say goodbye.
Chorus:
Because just with you standing there,
It seems like I’m falling in open air,
And colors brighten everything.
I think about you all the time,
Your laugh, your smile, and how you’re mine,
And you affect me that much you see,
Because, you mean so much to me.

A Dream
Among the clouds where birds dare fly,
Through space and all the passing time,
Where my heart and soul wish to go by,
And have a dream and make it mine.
To drift away without a care,
To see what eyes want to see,
Just float away, away up there,
And be the things I want to be.
A poem by Fabienne Riccoboni
THE OUTCAST OF TIME
Time is changing and forever there,
The thing that makes the days pass by,
That sent me here I know not where,
A place where it’s anno 1625.
I’m completely lost in this strange new domain,
A place so different from my own,
Most land is deserted or under kings’ reign,
A place which my ancestors now call home.
Instead of cities with flashing lights,
The only glow is the moon’s pale shine,
Illuminating the country in the darkened nights,
So very different from my own time.
The people stare at me constantly,
As a stranger come to a foreign land,
Like a disease that comes so readily,
One marked by death’s immortal hand.
Through towns and villages I have gone,
Seen knights in their armor fighting foe,
What is their purpose? They’re merely pawns,
Sacrifices for a much bigger goal.
The years have changed my ways and mind,
Having power and glory has elated me,
Memories of my past are left behind,
And my future ahead is all I see.
Centuries have passed in time’s constant flow,
But I have not aged beyond my twentieth year,
And I, now called the Duke of Bordeaux,
Am immortal like the gods, a bringer of fear.
A poem by Fabienne Riccoboni
LIFE
Life is a test, it wasn’t meant to be easy,
There are no loopholes through which you can cheat.
It is always ongoing and seems to never end,
Life isn’t something that’s easily beat.
There are always ups and downs, many hardships and troubles,
It’s a never ceasing lesson for all.
Only courage and faith gets us to the end,
So stand up to the challenge; don’t fall.
A poem by Fabienne Riccoboni
