The life and times of Esther Avila

Title: Little Girl Sighs (Feb. 2008) Independent strong woman walking down the street Not a care in the world, no one left to greet self-confident and outgoing, with head held high feeling like she’s totally complete inside but around the corner sits a man with a gleam in his eye and she’s about to learn that she’s not really living life her face is stuck in a smile and she’s got her hands over her eyes but she’s peeking at him through loose fingers and little girl sighs with few words he takes her for a ride she blushes and smiles, and has no where to hide she stops dead in her tracks she has no place to move now she’s scared and shy and now she has something to prove her heart skips beats and her eyelashes bat with joke he makes, with the drop of his hat her face is stuck in a smile and she’s got her hands over her eyes but she’s peeking at him through loose fingers and little girl sighs she’s alone most of the time, a grown woman with fairytale dreams the next

Title: Learning how (Apr. 2008) Everything gone completely wrong need to write another fucking song you were supposed to be the one learning how to stand, how to breathe learning to wake up knowing you're not with me who swept me off my feet but not with the dirt now I'm lying to everyone about all my fucking hurt told so many lies, don't even know where I stand you should've been there holding my hand learning how to walk, how to see learning to wake up knowing you're not with me my life's put together, but my spirit lays broken sitting in the darkness of my mind, words unspoken eyes dry, heart drowning, screaming, kicking learning how to run, how to feel learning to wake up knowing you're not with me but my life's put together, my spirit remains broken I will let this drown while words will not be spoken learning how to fly, how to be learning to wake up knowing you're not with me

Title: Will Never Come (Jan. 2008) So much love living inside Afraid it will all die, die die All this feeling with no where to go Turning my poor sad heart into stone Waiting for something that will never come Knew it failed from the get go, from the start Unrequited doesn ’t matter anymore I still have tears in my eyes, and love in my heart Drowning in all the lies, now mopping up all the tears Already forgot you made me laugh, and calmed all my fears expecting something that will never come Knowing it failed long go, from the start always having my heart broken and still loving you with all the little pieces always wanting what it can’t have never saving itself for Mr . right my heart has a death wish to stop beating for him without putting up a fight Waiting for something that will never come Knowing it failed long go, from the start always shattering into a millions pieces I always have tears in my eyes, and love in my heart

Back in 2008 I told myself I'd write a dozen songs by the end of the year. And by songs I mean just the lyrics because I don't know how to write music. In any case, I only managed to write four. And here is the first one: Title: All I See (Jan. 2008) it was all fun and games for a while but then i fell for your mischievous smile then she came along and you decided you were done one day here, one day gone now i look at these pictures and stare in your eyes all i see is the pleasure and the stains and the fire and the games that you played on me thanks for setting my body free, but none of that put me at ease and the damn good sex didn't mean jack shit to me i needed more than your dick and more than your fingers i need you to discover the kind of feeling that lingers now i look at these pictures and stare in your eyes all i see are the memories and the rain and the laughter and the pain you left me in and now you're back and i cant make up my mind my eyes can not hid
