Today is a day I wish I didn’t have
Today is a day I wish you were still here
On days like today I try so hard, but always fail
On days like today I wish I said goodbye
This pain never ends please just make it stop

My feelings for my love

My feelings for my love

I never thought I could love someone this much or be this happy in my life
Your the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep
The way you kiss me
The way you look at me
The way you hold me
The way you love me
The way you surprise me
The way you care for me
The way you.... I could go on and on
My love for you is indescribable and more then you can imagine
Our journey in life is crazy, wild, fun, simple, loving, adventurous and amazing
I love you always and forever, to our
“ happy place” and back
You and me to our happily ever after
Our song “ God Bless the Broken Road”
Because it let me straight to you....
Everlasting love, for good, we have each other to be a constantly hand to hold
Like the day we said our vows that connected our hearts forever.
Brent, my husband, my rock, my life, my heart, my breath ( even when breathless), my everything
I love you always and forever, my best friend....

Just my feelings put into words about my husband and our relationship.

Hello Poetry

Hello Poetry

there are so many of you
that i would love to sit down with;
maybe over a milkshake and a plate of fries;
and just talk.
i want to ask you about the boy that hurt you,
about the anger you feel deep inside
over a father who said he’d come back...
and then didn’t.
i want to run with you through pages of words and say
“oh that’s right, what a lovely metaphor.”
i want to see all your smiling faces and
thank each and every one of you for showing me kindness,
for saving my life.
i want to collaborate on novels of poetry
and laugh with you through the tears of our pasts.
so until we sip those milkshakes and eat those fries...
thank you, to
some of the most beautiful people i have never met.

to all my HePo followers/friends/ fellow poets! you have all given me a beautiful escape from Life <3

Backspace

Backspace

If I could turn back time
I would hit Backspace all day,
Id put on Caps Lock
and SHOUT what I say.

I'd use the whole Alphabet
To tell you hello,
Press seven Numbers
Til you picked up the phone.

I'd Tab through the comments
I didn't want to hear,
And use the Arrow Keys
To drag your body near.

I would Delete the harsh words
I didn't mean to speak,
And Insert the "I love yous"
I before couldn't leak.

I would use Ctrl to
Keep reigns over my heart,
And I would Escape lies
That tore us apart.

I'd Print out your photo
And kiss it goodnight,
Use the Calculator
To check that we were right.

I'd Paint you a picture
of us, you and me,
Then I'd hit Enter
Just so you would see.

Those are the things
I would do in my strife,
If only Backspace
worked in real life.

This is the first poem (that I have a copy of) i wrote that I actually thought was good. I was in seventh grade, twelve years old, and I wrote it for a newspaper competition. I knew it was really great but I didn't think I would beat all other applicants in the state in my age group. So you can imagine my surprise I'm sure when I DID win! That is the first time I was proud of my writing. So this one has a lot of special sentimental value. Thanks for reading.

i let myself drown

i let myself drown

when people are in love
they often say
they simply fell
tripped over their own two feet
face forward
and into the arms of their beloved

i did more than simply fall
onto the ground of your love

you, for me
were an ocean
and i dived
headfirst
roughly
harshly
almost painfully
into the waters of “you”

i knew i could not swim
but i did so anyway
i was drowning
entangled in you
surrounded by this being of “you”
engulfed in this feeling of “you”

and i did not know what came over me
but i let myself drown
i did not try to swim back up
because if i went back to land,
releasing myself from your grasp
that would mean losing the feeling of “you”

and after
submerging into the depth
the love
the passion
of “you”

how could i ever leave?
