I'm sure you'll know for whom this was written.
See me
You speak like I can't hear
Each careless word you say,
Knowing that you love me
Can't take the pain away.
You scream, like I don't listen
To the anger in your heart...
Knowing that you'll always care,
My world still falls apart.
You talk, as if I'm absent
From the room you're standing in,
Though I know you don't mean it...
It gets beneath my skin.
And when I speak of dreams?
You smile, and pat my head!
I'm to be a woman
You see a child instead.
You say I'm just a girl,
Like you would ever know!
The child inside my heart
Gave up ten years ago.
What will it take for you,
To realise, and see,
That I was never who
You wanted me to be?

Well. There's a rebellious teen in all of us.

Because I'm bored. Because it's too late to call you.
So this is the translation to the two french poems. Because, as I said it, I'm bored. They're not as pretty in english, but ... who cares?
A Single Glance
Understand a single glance
A single moment, suffer
Forever your face
Carved into my memories
Let my tears fall
Jewels in their cases
Still beauty of an angel
Of the uncertain present
The tomb of a single memory
Offer up a single prayer
A face reflected in a mirror
In shadow a single light
Lyrics of a memory
A glance, eternity...
Let them invade me
Let them shatter me
The dreams of a single moment
The regrets of the past
Blown away by the wind
All I can do is forget...
And:
Let Me
A tear, I am inspired
By a single glance from you
I live, a single sigh
Reflection in a mirror
A single beat of wings
Hair flying in the wind
One eternal moment
Come back to me, I'm waiting
Fleeting caress, hidden
The brilliance of a smile
Forgotten emotion
I live, let me die
Let me have a single image
Let me have just one regret
Just a simple mirage
Let me simply love you
