Dying Without Your Love
I poured my heart in a letter that you never read.
You keep it on your nightstand beside your bed.
Someday you’ll regret not reading what it said.
But by then I’ll be dead.

The life that I once had,
Was taken from me in a flash.
This disease spread far too fast.
You feel a guilt that is too strong.
Because you were too late,
Now I am gone.

I waited to hear what you would say.
But I never saw you after that day.
Fate decided that you and I could never be.
Fate decided to end my life early.

As I lay there dying,
You ran across my mind.
I wonder what I did,
If I crossed a line.

As I lay here broken,
Tears fall from my eyes.
You will not be here.
As I start to die.

I have no anger toward you.
I wish I could say goodbye.
But you choose to let me go.
So I’ll leave you as I die.

My last few thoughts are not of you,
For that is more then you deserved.
No, I left with a feeling of love.
A feeling you did not return.

I have no regrets when it comes to loving you.
But not living until it was late,
Was a struggle to get through.
But one must not fight fate.
And when it’s time to go,
I leave with a free heart.
One you didn’t know.

My Grandad's Truck
Sitting here as memories flood my mind.
Trying so hard not to cry.
As I say goodbye,
To a piece of my grandfather.

That stupid green truck that lived in the jungle of my backyard is gone.
A huge piece of him that was a memorial to a man I loved.
It sat there for eight years after its owner left.
A piece of him I don’t regret.

Now all that is left is a hole,
Where it used to be.
And it stirs up the memories,
Of a man who meant so much to me.

False Memories
False memories
Of what used to be
But you’re not the hero
I believed

False memories
Playing in my head
Silence deafening
I wish I as dead

I don’t know how these memories
Came to be
All I know is
They can leave

False memories
Are haunting me
Telling me lies
Burning me

False memories
Of times gone by
You standing there
Saying goodbye

I don’t know how these memories
Came to be
All I know is
They can leave

False memories
Stealing this life of mine
My last memory
Is running out of time

False memories
Let’s burn them down
I won’t stand here
And let myself drown

I don’t know how these memories
Came to be
All I know is
They can leave

The Mask
She puts on the mask of a happy daughter.
Her friends are jealous of her life.
No one knows that she’s alone because her parents are never home.
How long until she breaks under the pressure?
How long until the feeling of unloved takes her life?

She wears a mask like her favorite superheroes.
Trying to hide behind that sweet smile.
But inside a war is raging.
Inside her heart is breaking.
Inside the truth screams out.

He wakes up and the mask comes on.
Hiding the pain of watching his sick mother dying.
No one knows that their losing everything they have.
How long until he’s alone on the streets?
How long until he steals or dies, because he has no home?

He covers up the pain with his attitude.
Pretending that he owns the world.
But inside a war is raging.
Inside his heart is breaking.
Inside the truth screams out.

Acceptance is all they wanted.
Unconditional love from someone.
Never got that kind of feeling at home.
They might as well be alone.

We all wear a shape of a mask.
Whether it’s every day or occasionally.
It’s hard to keep your heart wide open.
For the fear they might not like what they see.

Hobbit
I know that had fate not intervened.
You would be here enjoying this with me.
Standing in line with your family and friends.
Waiting for the Hobbit to begin.

I bet you got an eagle eye view.
Watched them create magic.
Did you walk around New Zealand,
Traveling the path of the Fellowship?

Did you stand in that theater,
Laughing along with us?
Enjoying the adventure,
As if you never left us.

And when I finally see you.
And I wrap you  in a hug.
Will you laugh and tell me,
Who was your favorite Dwarf?
Written after the midnight premier of The Hobbit were I ran into my best friends family. I know if she were still here she would have been there too.

Divorce
You once told me,
I was special.
That you would love me,
Forever after.

And I have to wonder,
What I saw in your eyes.
I am getting so tired.
Aren’t you sick of all the lies?

Are you ever going to see,
That my heart is so broken.
Because of what you’re doing to me,
I can’t feel anymore.

I looked into your eyes
And what I saw was something else.
I’ve broken all our ties.
And I’ll let you go,
But you need to know.

I’ll always love you.
I’ll never forget you.
But I can’t forgive you.
For making my world shatter.
And if I ever see you,
Standing with some other girl.
Just know it will hurt me.
Just know it will break me,
Further then when I first lost you.

The heart is a strange place to be.
I wonder what this could mean.
My undying love,
For someone who doesn’t truly love me.

I signed my heart away.
Watched the last part of me die away.
Finding you so happy.
Makes it hard to breathe.

What did I do that made you stop loving me?
Was it even me that caused the love to end?
All I know is.

I’ll always love you.
I’ll never forget you.
But I can’t forgive you.
For making my world shatter.

Too Young
He never got to see your eyes light up when you laughed.
He never saw the adoring look when he came home at last.
He’ll never get to know you the way I do.
Because you’re gone
The angels took you too young.

He was never at your games and he never taught you how to ride.
He’ll never get to teach you how to drive.
He never knew what he meant to you
He never got to see all that you could do.
Because you’re gone
The angels took you too young.

I wish he could have seen the man you would have become.
You were so strong and kind.
You had such a bright mind.
But it ended so soon.
And you were gone so fast.
And I could never forgive him for not being here,
When we needed him the most.
I know it’s not his fault.
But it haunts me like a ghost.
Because you’re gone,
The angels took you too young.

To My Best Friends Mom
I don't think you understand what you've done.
The hurt you've caused,
The fear you've brought.
She is your child, your love.
But you put her last,
And you above.
You don't understand what you lost,
A poor young girl who paid the cost.
A daughter you've lost over time.
A good friend of mine.
I don't think you understand what you've done.
A beautiful woman with so much to do,
A beautiful woman you will lose.
And I will be there as I have always been,
To pick up the pieces and help her swim.

Do you know the power for your words?
How they break my heart.
Do you know I can’t see beyond those scars?

Fake Identity
I feel like a liar in your presence.
What you see is not who I really am.
It's the picture I display to hide myself.
Afraid you wont love me if I am nothing less.
As my eyes grow heavy, sleep will surly come.

Let’s sing the songs of angels as I lay my body down.
And my mind will dream of only good things.
Sleeping without a sound.

Lord, lay me down to sleep.
If I die before I wake.
I pray my soul you’ll take.
And let those I leave behind,
See the light in the darkness,
Feel peace at night when they rest their heads.
Dream of only good things.

Let the sunshine on the day they lay me to rest,
Let the beauty of the world make them feel less.

And let's sing the songs of angels as I lay my body down.
And my mind will dream of only good things.
As I go without a sound.

Dean
I can see the strength in your eyes is getting weak.
Trying to keep alive is becoming quite the feat.
You have so much weight placed on your shoulders.
Forced to grow up a little older.
Left your childhood behind too soon.
There was nothing left for you to do.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.

The sweet innocence that once burned so bright,
Is gone with all of its light.
That burden you carry around,
Will someday bring you down.
If only you would take my help.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


You don’t have to go in alone.
You can always come home.
I will be here when you call.
I will catch you when you fall.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.

I know that trust doesn’t come to you easy.
And asking for help makes you uneasy.
But that façade you keep,
The one that leaves everyone out of reach,
Is what will bring you to your knees.
If only you could be free.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.

Rest In Peace.
I’ll walk in silence with you,
I’ll stand in the shadows too.

If you need me I’ll come,
No questions asked for none.

But someday I’ll need you.
Will you come too?

Or is this a one sided deal?
Where only my time is for real.

Will I be left to defend myself?
Or will you be there above all else?

But if I die,
Before you arrive.

Will you bring my body back,
And for all the family that I lack.

Will you bury me,
Beside the sea.

Where I may rest in peace.

You Can't Break Me
I spent so much time trying to please you,
Trying to make you happy.
But nothing I do is working.
I wont do this anymore.
You tell me,
I'm nothing.
No one,

But guess what.
You can't break me.
You can't tear me down.
I am stronger,
Without you now.

Dear Mom
For once I just want someone to tell me that it’s not true.
Why can’t you comfort me instead of tell me that I’m at fault too.
When I apologize don’t tell me, “Now you know how I feel.”
Forgive me. Love me. Tell me it’s a lie.

I feel like the world will be a better place without me.
And you just proved it.

I am so sorry that I am a terrible daughter.
I didn’t realize I was so bad.
I want to be better.
I don’t want to burden you anymore.

I just don’t know how.
I don’t know how to break my personality.
I don’t know what to do to be better.
I want to be better.

You are everything to me.
You don’t deserve to suffer a fool like me.
You are my hero and my angel.
I’m sorry if my existence hurts you.

Grandma
Tears in the laughter
Tragedy abounds
Healing though memories
Both silly and profound
A love though three generations
From great to grand.

We miss you so much
The smell of cigarettes haunts my memories
Floods me with times never to be lost
I regret not spending more time with you
Not taking you in when I had you.

There is an emptiness
A hole where you should be
We laugh and joke
It helped us grieve
But every holiday I close my eyes and wish you were here with me.

I think, no, I know you are proud of us
The way we stay so strong
Together we are whole
Together we belong.

I am thankful we have you forever captured on screen
Whenever I need to hear your voice it’s there
I can laugh at how silly you are
I feel you here with me
Just seeing you
Hearing you
Makes it bearable.

It’s been four years now
Four years since that day and the pain still hasn’t fully gone away

I could never forget you
For Tenino is your town
I love that people know you
Your name gets around.

I love you, Grandma Monk
You are so very important to me.

I left my heart lying in a field in Kansas.
Broken, bleeding and hopeless.

I left my body in a city called Gotham.
In a lightless tomb of delirium.

I left my spirit in a Metropolis.
Where heroes are born fearless.

I left my mind running through time.
In multiple dimensions of earths and crime.

I will never be whole inside.
But all I need is you by my side.

Dear Forest Ranger
Dear forest ranger,

Though I didn't know you,
What happened rang through my heart.
It's not fair that so soon in this new year,
You were taken from this earth,
Just January first.

The sirens ring through my head,
Haunting the woods surrounding this mountain.
I don't know your name,
Or if you had a spouse or kids.

I hope you knew help was coming,
I'm sorry they didn't make it in time.
I pray that your loved ones will be alright,
That in time they can heal.
I hope they find peace in knowing,
You are watching them from Heaven.
Written 1/1/2012. A forest ranger was killed on January 1, 2012 up at Mount Rainer. My family was in the area. We listened to the news and it was so rough with my cousin wanting to go out and help.

This poem is for that brave ranger.

Long Con
You said we were going to be together.
You said that nothing could break us apart.
Now you say that this was never right
Now I am left living a lie.

I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).

How could this have not been right?
How could you let me live a lie?
How could I have trusted you?
And how could I ever get over you?

You promised that you would never leave me.
You promised we could make it through everything.
Now you say that you need to go.
Now I am left here all alone.

I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).

How could you promise me something untrue?
How could you leave me alone that night?
How could I have believed in you?
And how could I ever get over you?

You never meant for this to go this far.
You never meant for me to fall this hard.
You didn’t see this coming.
You didn’t stop to think.
You didn’t care to tell me I didn’t mean a thing.

And now I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).

Even though I know I deserve better.
I still loved you more than ever.

I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).
Just wishing for this night to get over.
Waiting for the wounds to heal over.
Watching for the rising sun.
For I was nothing but a long con.

Wrong
We used to have a future,
Something to believe in and to fight for.

But yesterday I found you in love with another.
And you tell me I’ve got it all wrong.

And I have to, wonder, if you see me for who I am
Or do you only see what you believe I’ve become?
The monster, in the closet, is getting harder to keep locked up.
And if you think I can survive the downfall, you’re wrong.

‘Cause tonight is the night I fall.
Tonight is the night we lose it all.

Shattered
Screaming and fighting
Out of breath and out of love
Tired of lies and heartache
That left me without cause.

You stand there waiting for me to apologize
But I am afraid you’ll be waiting a long time.
You couldn’t see the damage you were doing to me.

I see the truth of your lies.
I see the things you tried to hide.
You tell me I’ve got it all wrong.

And I have to, wonder, if you see me for who I am
Or do you only see what you believe I’ve become?
The monster, in the closet, is getting harder to keep locked up.
And if you think I can survive the downfall, you’re wrong.

‘Cause tonight is the night I fall.
Tonight is the night we lose it all.

Yes tonight is the night I lock the door.
Tonight you don’t have a wife any more.

Loneliness
How can you pretend?
That nothing matters.
Hid behind the lies.
That no one cares.
Go about invisible.
Screaming to be seen.
Needing to be seen.

Cant find the light.
In this darkness.
Cant win this fight.
Slowly losing.
Giving up faith.
Of being heard.
Always hurt.

Just to be alive.
Sometimes isn't enough.
All the lies.
Fall from your mouth.
Loneliness.
Is a disease.
All consuming.
Cant be free.

Broken Wings
Hey, girl why are you so sad.
I know you fell so hard.
And you don’t know how to get back,
To what you had before.
Your broken dreams have shattered like glass.
And you don’t know how to face your past.

I know it seems impossible
But you can try
To pick yourself up and fly
On broken wings.

You found that you have no faith in anyone.
So tired of being someone you’re not.
Lies were all he left you.
Truths you’ll never find.
Then there were the tears you cried.

I know it seems impossible
But you can try
To pick yourself up and fly
On broken wings.

Your broken heart can’t heal.
So you decide not to feel.
You need to remember what it was like to dream.

I know it seems impossible
But you can try
To pick yourself up and fly
On broken wings.

Breathing set you free
To fly with your broken wings.
You look forward to living your dreams
Now that you learned to fly on broken wings.

You know it’s not impossible
Because you tried
You picked yourself up and flied
On broken wings.

Now healing wings…

In Another Life
This is for everyone who lost a child, a friend, or a partner/spouse.**



In another life you are still here.

Your just as beautiful as the day I first held you.

Now your safe from harm, cradled in God's arms.

But in another life I am holding you.



In another life your laughing.

Your smile is just as bright as the first time we shared a laugh.

Now your an angel soaring with the clouds.

But in another life I am laughing with you.



In another life you and I are one.

Your just as charming as the day I met you.

Now your watching over me, while I live without you.

In another life I am with you.



And in another life there is no pain,

No loss of loved ones, no moving on, no blame.

But in this life where I am.

I'll live without you the best I can.

The weight is placed on your shoulder.
Long before the world grew colder.
You are your father’s daughter.
Before you failed your brother.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


Made to raise your little brother.
But when he was taken along with your mother.
The responsibly that went unspoken.
Now has left your heart so broken.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


You believe it’s all your fault.
The thought makes you halt.
Afraid to play your part.
And you’re worried you’ve lost your heart.


Just hold on.

A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


Coming to the end of your rope.
Heading down a slippery *****.
Can’t listen to what you need to hear.
All you know is fear.
Starting to feel weak.
Not getting any sleep.
The nightmares haunt you.
Hoping you can make it through.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


Don’t give up on me now.
You can make it through somehow.
Please just take my hand,
I can help you stand.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.

A True Friend of Mine?
Wont stop bleeping, can't start breathing,
Knowing where the truth lies.
Listening to you say you miss them,
But what about you and I?

Was it real?
Or am I invisible?
If I died would you notice, would you even cry?
Was it just school days, memories fade?
Or are you a true friend of mine?

Breaking down and building up, but I can't decide.
Were you a true friend of mine?

Was it hope or a disguise?
Are you a true friend of mine?

Tell me! Was our friendship a lie?
Or are you a true friend of mine?

The Cry of My Soul
Often I wonder if you even know my name.

Or am I just someone you bring in from the rain?

Sometimes I speak and you don’t hear me.

And it breaks my heart wondering if it’s worth having a voice.

Am I given a choice?

To choose to live without you,

Or live a fake life.

The choice is clear but harder than you think.

I’ve lived so long with you.

That our end can’t possibly be here.

How could you be so blind to me?

How could you not realize that I was bleeding?

How could you be so cold?

How could you not know?

That I love you.

How can you blame me for being who I am?

To try to strip me of all I am.

I’ve been running since you told me to go.
Never stopped to breathe even though it hurts.
Feet bleeding,
Heart pounding but I won’t stop running.

I’ve been running for so long.
I don’t know if I can stop.
Not sure I’ll know how to walk.
It’s probably not worth it.

Only death will make me stay,
Here or some other place.
All I know is how to run,
And push away the pain.

I’ve been running since you told me to go.
Grabbed my things and left home.
Never to come back.
Never to stop running.

I think my problem is I am tired of silence so I speak out of turn.
I want to be heard but it stays in my head and all the wrong things get said.
I want to talk and cuddle and love.
I want someone to love me and not feel like the ghost.
I want someone to tell me nicely that I hurt them or not take it to heart.
Not someone to make me worthless and not worthy of love.
I want to be better but I fear I cannot.
And the world wouldn’t miss me if I were gone.

Did You Know?
He packed his bags and never looked back, so they say.
But his little girl remembers it differently.

Did you know that she prayed everyday for you to come home?
Did you know she would stay up late and wait for you to walk through the door?
Did you know she still believes in you?
Did you know?

Her mother told her he was never coming home,
But she still had hope even four years down the road.
She's still waiting....

Did you know that she prayed everyday for you to come home?
Did you know she would stay up late and wait for you to walk through the door?
Did you know she still believes in you?

She no longer asks when daddy's coming home.
Now she wonders why he choose to go...

The Story of That Cross
That cross right there.
A name carved there.
A girl so young.
A girl well loved.

Seventeen and beautiful.
Full of life, full of love.
Remembered forever for dying young.

Always in our hearts,
Imprinted on our souls,
Living in our memories,
As we continue alone.

A girl so powerful a town mourned.
A girl whose death left us all torn.
A girl whose love as so warm.

Today would have been your twentieth birthday,
But you aren’t here to celebrate.
And at the end of the day I don’t regret,
The time I had and the way we met.

Your friendship was an anchor,
And without it I would have drowned.
But there are still days I feel I’m going down.

See that cross right there.
A name carved there.
She was my best friend.
And now she is gone.
Dedicated to the memory of Spencer Ford. Happy Birthday, my dear friend. I miss you.

Slow down, just breathe,
Feel the weight lifting off your winds.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes,
Listen to your heart beat with time.

Now your flying above the pain,
Free from what you've seen, from suffering.
Everything will be alright,
If you believe, if you try.

Slow down, just breathe,
Feel the weight lifting off your wings.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes,
Listen to your heart beat with time.

And you'll be welcome into His arms,
Safe and sound, free from harm.

Here I Am Again
So here I am standing at your doorway
Waiting for you to let me in.
So I can take back the things I said.
I never really meant to hurt you.
I just lost sight of what you mean to me.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am hoping we can fix what I broke.
Here I am again.

The days go by and I’m trying,
To fix what I have done.
Because the words I said were hateful.
The words I said were wrong.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am hoping we can fix what I broke.
Here I am again.

I find that I am losing you all over again.
I find that I can’t simply take back what I said.
I hurt you too bad this time,
And I realize I went too far to get you back.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am hoping we can fix what I broke.
Here I am again.

I stand at the end of all I’ve done.
Knowing there is nothing to be won.
Your heart is no longer mine.
You are gone forever this time.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am knowing I lost you.
Here I am again living without you.

In Heaven's Light
What happened to the pure of heart?
Where did they all go?
The innocent have all but gone.
They aren't in this world any more.

They left us with greed and cowardice.
Streets washed red with blood.
Of life and love there is none.

It's one man for himself.
They stand on the front line,
But there is no physical enemy on the other side.

Where did the strong of spirit go?
Do they not still live?
Is chivalry really dead?
Or is it in hiding again?

We are left in a pit of darkness.
Where hope is all but none.

But wait!
There is a light, so bright that it nearly blinds.
The light is warm and beautiful, where love and hope shine.

There is a man who is holding out His hand.
"Please, come and take it. I will free you from this land."

So we take His hand and walk with Him.
Away from this place.
To somewhere so beautiful no description can name.

"Welcome home, my child." He spoke with a smile so bright.
And for the first time we are safe in Heaven's light.

Fallen Angels
The fallen angels call to me reminding me who I am,
They try to bring me back into their world but I’ve gotten free.
Because I found my wings and I’m flying high,
I am now over the sea.

Don’t come for me,
I am too far gone.
Don’t try to follow,
You won’t last long.

I can hear the fallen angels sing,
Whispering words of fear,
And I don’t want to listen,
But I still hear.

Don’t come for me,
I am too far gone.
Don’t try to follow,
You won’t last long.

The fallen angels stand silent waiting for me to fall,
They want to remind me why I was one of them.
A broken girl,
They want to see condemned.

Don’t come for me
I am too far gone
Don’t try to follow
You won’t last long

I worked hard to get where I am.
These wings of mine are very strong,
They beat with the power of freedom,
Somewhere the fallen angels don’t belong.

Don’t come for me
I am too far gone
Don’t try to follow
You won’t last long

Don’t come for me
I am too far gone
Don’t try to follow
You won’t last long

Not What You Wanted
I hate the way you look at me.
You look at me like I'm worthless, nothing.
You see someone who shouldn't be.
A disgrace, a broken dream.
Someone you never wanted, someone who couldn't be.
The blood in my veins doesn't matter to you.
I'm not the son you wanted to live through.
You've crushed my heart and shattered my dreams.
I've tried all my life to gain your love,
But all the things I've ever done,
They mean nothing to you, nothing at all.
You see a failure, the reason to fall.

Tim
Tim
You feel insignificant.
Not even worth it.
Nothing but a replacement,
Waiting for the real thing.

You live in the shadows.
A ghost in the hall.
No one seems to see you,
Not even when you’re gone.

You strive for perfection.
It’s all you can give.
Just your brain and your body,
To do the right thing.

They think you’re mad.
Crazy with loss.
The final straw broke,
But you’ll show them all.

Little brother is what he used to say.
But now it’s different.
He has someone new,
The real thing.

So what if he lied.
You knew the truth.
You weren’t meant to stay,
But it still hurt.

You go on your mission.
To prove what you know.
That your “father” is alive,
Just stuck back in time.

You are right he is alive.
And your “brother” apologizes,
For not believing you.
But the damage is done.

The truth is you’re not needed any more.
Your job is done.
Leaving to start on your own,
Because you’re not one of them.

They say you are family.
But you know they are just words.
For you will stay,
So they can control you.

Now things are different.
You are on your own.
But if you should need them,
You can call home.

Trouble has found you.
All hope is lost.
You call and call,
But you get no response.

You lay there bleeding out
No one to save you from hell.
Last breath
Where are you now?

This Is War
Closed off, divided.
Separate, fighting.
A warning, shouted.
Time stops, hearts pounding.
Another, one, falls.
A mother, a father.
A sister, a brother.
Another, one, falls.
A heart stops, pounding.
The battle, is fought.
They answered, the call.
Faith is, a struggle.
To fight or, to follow.
Sound, the, call.
Stand on, the front lines.
Wait for, the signal.
This, is, war.
Tomorrow, today.
Always, the same.
Another, one, falls.
The enemy, is coming.
Fear is, abounding.
Time, is, gone.
Whose side, are you on?
Flee or, follow?
This, is, War.

Silence
Silver tape over my mouth,
The silence is stretching.
Even with the tape off
You never heard me,
Just someone in the background.
Half of me hates this,
The other doesn't care.
If I walk away,
It's like I was never there.
Was I there?
Standing here waiting to be seen,
To be heard!
Is that so wrong?
Is that too much?
I ask you to see me,
To see who I can be.
The person you want,
The person you need.
You just need to listen.
Listen to me!
I strip off the silver tape
And walk away.
Refusing to watch
The world slip away.

Bad News
I read the news today.
I thought I was dreaming,
Then I started to cry,
When I realized I would never wake up.

The world turned to shades of gray,
That day I read that you were gone.
You were my best friend,
The only one that knew me better than anyone.

I don't understand how God could take you away so young,
Or how the world could be so gray.

I will miss your smile and your laugh.
The way you did things, that silly little dance.
The golden heart that beat in your chest.

Baby Girl
Hey baby girl, let your light shine bright.
You precious creature,
You know I love you, right?
My shooting star,
Light the world on fire with how beautiful you are.

Hey precious child,
You beautiful thing.
You are so smart,
You could do anything.

Oh my angel, I love you so.
Your sparkle makes my day.
Your heart so pure,
Is forever my saving grace.
Your love so sure.

Princess of happy ever after,
You light up my life like a firecracker.
You are my joy though the sorrow.
Don’t you let that light fade.

Shine on my super star.
Show the world just who you are.
Proud to have you with me now.
Just wish you never have to grow up.

Sweetheart, you are all that’s good in me.
You make me a better person.
You are my dream.
You are my everything.

Go on, baby, show the world who you are.
Shine on with all your heart.
Don’t let them bring you down.
Don’t leave without a sound.

Hey little girl, with the smile so bright.
In the dark you make everything all right.
Your faith in people is a delight.
Your laugh is a source of light.

Gone
I walk the streets full of memories so sweet.
Closing my eyes I can almost hear you speak.
You're saying you love me.

You were everything I ever wanted.
You were my heart and soul, my world, my light.

Gone is that beautiful smile,
Gone is that laugh that lasted for hours,
And the way you whispered my name.
Gone are those spur of the moment trips,
Gone is your love with it.
Gone is my heart.
You were my heart.

I miss you more than I can say.
I dream about you everyday.
Closing my eyes I can almost hear you speak.
You're saying you love me.

You were the stars that shine at night,
You were everything good in my life.

Gone is that smile,
Gone is that laugh,
Gone is the way you whispered my name.
Gone are those spur of the moment trips,
Gone is your love with it.
Gone is my heart.
You were my heart.
Written 8/6/10. I hear this in my head like I Go Back by Kenny Chesney and Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll.

So Young
I miss her so much.
The beat of her heart.
The sound of her feet,
Running across the yard.
She was so beautiful, so smart
The loss of a child,
Can break any heart.
No parent should ever have to bury their child.
But it happens far too often.
That thought is just vile!
One wonders how anyone can ever smile.
When someone so young is gone.
She shone so bright,
And loved so much.
Now I am left at a loss.
I don’t know what to do.
I don’t know how to live,
Without my sunshine,
I don’t know how to give.
I swear the world lost its light,
The day my sweet girl died.

Lost in a Storm
When it rains, it pours down on this life of mine.
I was lost and you found me,
All broken inside.
It wont be the first time that I wish she were here.
And it wont be the last time I scream and no one hears.
I wrote this a week after my best friend died.

Insperation for You
Stand up
Stand tall
Don't let yourself fall

Get up
Get out
Don't give into doubt

Run free
Run fast
Leave the haters in the past

Not the Favorite
Have you forgotten about me?
Am I just not important?
Had it been him,
You would have done it in a heartbeat.

Is it just me?
Or do I see the truth?

You do have a favorite.
You both do.
I mean little to you.

My heart,
My feelings,
My health,
And life,
Are unimportant to you.

You treat him like a king.
You serve him like a prince.
While I am left to fend for myself.

Do you even know you are breaking my heart?
Do you even care?
As I lay here dying inside,
You are somewhere upstairs.

So I’ll ask you one more time.
And you’ll say “sorry I forgot.”
But it’s too late.
I’ve already given up.

And the worst thing is,
I don’t blame you.
