I SEE

 I see a room

With curtains drawn

I see a girl singing

Sad love songs

I see a photo

Torn in 2

I see shadows

But there is

No you

I see a love

That was my past

I see memories

Which didn't last

I see a heart

That beats

For one

I see my life without you!

HOW LONG

How long will it take
For my heart to heal
It's been months
Yet still I feel
The pain of goodbye
As we walked away
Lives splintered
No more words to say
Memories haunting
My days
And
My nights
Sometimes can't help
But wonder
Who was wrong
Who was right
Friends say move on
Let it go
And
Be free
But my pain
Is real cause
They can't see
That this fractured heart
Is held together
Without glue
Now if you
Were me
What would you do

GIFT YOU

May God
Bless you
Keep you
Strengthen you
Protect you
Guide you
Provide you
Lift you
GIFT you
WITH LOVE
THIS CHRISTMAS

DEAD

The first meet
The first greet
The first kiss
Total bliss
The first touch
Grabbing hands
Silly smiles
Making plans.
The first slip
The first shout
The first lie
Hmm what about
Separate rooms
Separate beds
Can it be
That love
IS DEAD??

TRY AGAIN

Love is
NOT love
If it
HURTS
If it
ACCUSES
If it
ABUSES
If it
Brings Pain
Open
Your Heart
Let go
And
Find the
STRENGTH
To try AGAIN

FAIRYTALE

I wish
this was
A fairytale
And we
Were at
Its ending
That you were
My hero
And I
Your damsel
in distress.
Secrets revealed
Plots uncovered
Enemies vanquished
Winners circle
In sight.
But as
I turn
The pages
I see
NO HAPPY ENDING!

BYE BABY

Hid behind
A mask
What for
I do ask
Maybe
That was
Your plan
From
The start
Camouflaged
Guns loaded
Came
To break
My little 
Heart.
But where 
should
I begin
Cause you
Were NEVER
Honest
Oh what a friend
Played games
Of MAKE believe
And pretend
But this
Is where
Our story ends
...BYE BABY

VICTORIOUS

Sometimes
I hide
From myself
To try and
Heal myself
Cause life can 
Be so cruel
At times
But I 
Had to
Find the time
To make
My dreams mine.
Obstacles to
Overcome
Had to learn
To slowdown
Embrace the one
Who put me
Here on earth
Who taught me
What I was truly worth
-HAD TO MAKE MY DREAMS MINE

DAMAGED

How does
A damaged
Heart heal
Went to
My doctor
But there
Was no pill
Tried the Library
But there
Were no books
Spent half
A day
All I got
Were dirty looks
Gazed at the moon
Last night
Couldn't sleep 
Oh what a sight
How does 
A damaged heart
HEAL
Does it try again
Or just be still?

MAYBE

Maybe one day
My heart
Will heal
The pain
And
The hurt
Will disappear
Maybe then
I can finally
Let go
And
Let the 
Tides of life
Just flow
...Maybe

THEM

Let them laugh
They are just
Jealous
Of what
We have
Because love
Like this
Don't come
Overnight
It took
Hard work
To get 
It right
In a world
Gone mad
Just know
That you 
Are the 
ONLY ONLY
One!

BEGIN

In  a world
Full of hatred
Where do we find 
The world of our
Dreams
Should we stop
Searching for
Heroes
Or should we
Become that
Which we seek
After all
There's no fun 
In being the 
Villain
In storybooks
They always
Get captured in the
END
...Or is this
Where we begin
To teach our children
Love?

COME QUICKLY

Bathe me
In your 
Smile
Lather me
In your embrace
Take me in your
Arms
Hold me
For all time.
Give me
And me
Alone
The joy that I have
Never known
Love me
Like I have
Dreamed of
For so many many nights
But could you
Please hurry
For I am 
Weary from waiting.

Fairytale

She pictured herself
A queen
Her kingdom lay vast
In her mind.
She thought that love
Could be found
Around every corner
When in reality
It was the one thing
That she could not sustain.
Maybe she should give up looking
But it's been said that
All is fair in love and war.
So she keeps searching
For a love that
Never comes
She keeps hoping 
That maybe the next man
Will be the right one.
But fairytales are meant
To be read
Not lived
And happy endings
Rarely come
...THE END
BACK TO PAGE ONE!

ME

Never had
A reason
To smile
Only tears
Gave me comfort
For a while
Until the day
I believed
In myself
Took those fears
Placed them
On a shelf
Became me
In spite of
all doubt
Found the
Strength
To carry on
A new day
A new song!

ONE DAY

One day
We will close 
Our eyes 
For the
Last time.
People will stand
And speak 
Of us
As if 
They knew 
Our minds 
As if
They knew 
Our hearts 
As if our souls 
Were entwined. 
One day
We will shed
Our bodies 
For a pair 
Of gossamer wings.
One day
WE SHALL TRULY BE FREE!

NOTICE

She didn't notice
That her smile
Had faded
Years ago
Nor that
Her clothes
Were no
Longer fashionable.
She didn't notice
That men
Did not seek
Her attention
As they once had
That she was
Now invisible.
She didn't notice
Her dreams 
Slowly slipping away
As sand
Sifts through
Gnarled fingers
...SHE DIDN'T NOTICE THAT SHE NO LONGER CARED!

MY LOVE

My love
Is all
that I can 
Give to you
My heart
It lay shattered
Before greeting you
My soul floundered
In quicksand
As I waited
Aimlessly for you
So my love 
I smile
I take 
Your hand
And I welcome you
HOME!

SHOW ME

Hold me
Love me
Place 
NO ONE
Above me
Stay with
Me
Play with
Me
Spend the
Rest of
Your days
With me
...SHOW ME WHO YOU REALLY ARE!

RRIGHT AND WRONG

Everything wrong 
With the world 
Can be made right 
If only 
Truth and Justice 
Would take up
The fight.
War is hell
Is what they say
Yet grown men
Still come out
To play.
Others are born 
With silver spoons 
In their mouths 
Toxic behavior 
Who will pull
The spoons out.
Children living
With no faith 
With no hope 
Yet who 
Among us 
Will balance 
Life's tightrope??
