Comments by Calandra Stevens

 

I settled down
A twisted up frown
Disguised as a smile, well
You would’ve never known

I had it all
But not what I wanted
Cause hope for me
Was a place uncharted
And overgrown

You'd make your way in
I'd resist you just like this

You can't tell me to feel
The truth never set me free
So, I did it myself

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more


Open your eyes
Like I opened mine
It's only the real world
A life you will never know

Shifting your weight
To throw off the pain
Well you can ignore it
But, only for so long

You look like I did
You resist me just like this

You can't tell me to heal
And, it hurts remembering
How it felt to shut down

You can't be too careful anymore
When all that is waiting for you
Won't come any closer
You've got to reach out a little more

The truth never set me free
So, I'll do it myself

Can I just tell you one thing that SCARES me about your writing? Your characters are so real that I honestly read Madison & Justin and I think MAN if I ever met them in real life I'd knock their fuckin heads together!!! And then reality sets in and im like...Umm Yeah i cant do that. Well I could, but then, Justin would have me arrested SooooOOo...Great Job!!  :)  I hope you know what I mean, and that it is in fact a compliment to your skills as a writer. Im gonna shut up now. LOL

Author's Response:

lmao oh yes... there are some stories that i am far too emotionally invested in, so i know the feeling.

haha thank you love! i really do appreciate it a ton!

All day staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something

Hold on
Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why


But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be


I'm talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talking about me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow I've lost my mind

But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be

OMG!!!! This was one of my fave stories you wrote from the old site and I have been talking about it for YEARS to my friends. I AM SOOOO GLAD UR BACK! We loyal readers missed you terribly. I cannot wait for more! <3 U chica! You know ur my fave author of all time. And you know what a HUGE kudos it is to yourself when I talk about ur stories more than I talk about ones by authors who are published and international sellers. Im telling you girl its ur calling. My friends are always like...Miranda..who? Does she have any books out? Im like dude DesperateThoughts.com! LIVE IT LOVE IT READ IT!

At least you know
You were taken by a pro
I know just how you feel
She talked a perfect game
Deflecting all the blame
You took the jack
And changed the flat
And got behind the wheel--
Now you`re
Driving sideways
Taken in by the scenery
As you`re propelled along
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong


And you will say
That you`re making headway
And put it in overdrive
But you`re mistaking speed
For getting what you need
And never even noticing
You never do arrive
Cause you`re
Driving sideways
If you roll down the window you`ll see
You`re where you don`t belong
And your companion
Will not help you to navigate
For fear she may be wrong


And you`re powered by
The hopeful lie
That it`s just around the bend
And when this, by default
Comes screeching to a halt
Let`s hope that you
Know what to do
To start it up again


Driving sideways
Hitting scan on the radio
So she can sing along
And she`ll sit
Thinking you`re going to handle it
Until she`s proven wrong
Until she`s proven wrong
Until you prove her wrong

As always ur awesome! And I just love love love the characterization of Trace. He's brilliant. LOL

Author's Response:

aw thank ya love!

i appreciate it a ton!

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind
Restless hearts
Sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
Along the wire

They say that the road
Ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line
It's been you and me
And lovin' a music man
Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Circus life
Under the big top world
We all need the clowns
To make us smile
Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And being apart
Ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
I get the joy of rediscovering you
Oh, girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours
Faithfully

Author's Response:

haha thank ya love!

i appreciate it a ton!

 

See her walking alone
In this city of heartache and stone 
She finds her way down
To where she once found all her dreams 
She doesn't understand why
Something she'd given her heart to could die 
But that's just the way it works out, they say 

She's coming back down
This carousel ride has stopped spinning around
She wants to say she's sorry and stay
But it's too late now
This carousel ride has shut down
