Why

Why did you have to come to my life
then leave without turning back
why did you have to brighten a day
then leave the rest in darkness
why did you ever make me laugh
then left me with a well of tears
why pretended to be a hero
when you were but a piercer of the heart
why did you have to forget me
when here I am still longing for you
why did you throw away the mem’ries
when they are the reasons that kept me sane
why can’t you even come, face me upfront
and say you’re sorry for hiding the truth
why did you do things that led me to love you
when you know it will only destroy my life
why can’t I seem to forget you, let alone hate you
for all the pains that you caused me
why on earth, despite the distance
do I still long for you…..

Silent Flight

In the silence
The clarity of your voice,
Climbs high
Upon the eagle’s wings.
The chains of doubt
That imprison my soul,
Fall away beneath my feet.
In the freedom and majesty
Of the sentinels gaze,
Faith is strengthened
And hope returned
To a weary heart,
Upon the silent flight
Of eagle’s wings.

Letting you go.

I loved you once,
you hurt me twice.
Now our friendship
pays the price.

I always said
i’d be here for you
and this statement
still remains true.

When you need me
i’ll be right there,
I’ll hold your hand
and show you I care.

Just right now
i’m letting you go,
but I still love you;
just letting you know.

First I liked you, then I loved you

When I first met you, I liked you as a friend, and I
Never want our friendship to end.
We got into arguments, we got into fights.
Even though this happened, I still wanted you in my sight.

Then I realized I love you and never wanted to let you go. I kept asking myself,
“Why I love you so”?

Only my heart knows the answer, and I know my heart is true, that’s why I’m so jealous of you.
I know it’s not right, I know it’s not fair, but sometimes I wonder if you’re playing a game.

Leverna I love you, Leverna I do,
And please believe me when I say,
I would never leave you.

Why you always make me cry?

I never want to cry again but here I am doing the same.
You hurt me once, you hurt me twice, and you’ll never have the chance to hurt me thrice.
I thought you loved me like I do, but now I know that is not true.
I loved you and only you, I told myself no one else will do
The time has come for me to see that you never really wanted to find time for me
All I want you to do is answer two questions for me.
Why you always make me cry?
And do you know that you never miss the water until the well runs dry…

A Red Dirt Road

May your days always be warm and peaceful,
may each hour be sunset-bright
may your heart be filled with feelings
of contentment and delight..

May your thoughts be graced with memories
that grow sweeter all the while,
and may a red dirt road touch you
with the glow of a heaven’s smile.

I love you

Never look down
If you ever need me I’ll be around
I’ll be here through the rain or snow
I’ll take you by the hand and say I love you
If for any reason I can’t be by your side
Remember I’m always in your mind
You are the very air I breathe
I love you with all my mind, body, and soul
When they say be dim
You say I’m going to shine
Because you deserve the best
You deserve the greatest gift
I love you so very much
I could never tell you how much in a million years
I love you through rain, shine, hail, or sleet
I love you no matter what
Everyday
Anytime
Forever

I still love you

Sometimes, I wonder if I killed myself would you even care.
I’m your daughter.
Aren’t I supposed to be your everything?
Or is that just moms job.
I wonder how my life would be if you would have stepped in and was a father.
I would actually have someone to call my “dad”
But now, I’m a fatherless child.
People complain about their parents,
but they don’t know how much I’d kill to just have both my parents in my life.
If only for a day…
I still love you dad..

Lose You

Never thought I’d lose you,
But here I am,
Standing alone,
Without you by my side,
We’re sisters for life,
We promised,
But now you’re gone,
I don’t know what to do,
Without you,
I’m going crazy,
I’m trying to hold on,
To keep strong,
But it just doesn’t feel right,
I’m waiting here,
My arms wide open,
Tears running down my face,
Ready for your return,
Even if it takes forever,
My sister…

The Truth

I feel rejected.

I feel unloved.

I feel unwanted

Since you left me.

I fill my days with a list of things I have to do,

Just so I don’t have time to think of you.

But on those times I have a moment spare

My heart goes back into such despair.

It came from out of nowhere,

It took me by surprise,

I truly thought you loved me

Why was I so unwise?

I don’t want your sympathy

I don’t want you to lie

Don’t tell me that you still love me

Just so I do not cry.

I want to learn the things to do,

To let you go and un-remember you…

But no matter what I do or try

I just break down and wonder why.
