I am from Eden and
The innocence I held close,
It was not lost,
But it was stolen.

A lit candle and
The only light in the dark.
It sparked a memory when
I was younger than noon.

An abandoned house and
The broken windows called.
A sweet serenity that
Was utterly distorted.

I followed him and
The flashing eruption of the sirens
Grabbed my attention.
It screamed a fair warning.

The glass gave me cuts and
He gave me a scar.
While I watched the flickering red lights
I cried in silence.

I am from Eden and
The innocence I held close,
It was not lost,
But it was stolen.
please read and enjoy...

When we were kids,

I loved you so sweetly

I loved you like I loved the taste of strawberries on my tongue

When we were kids,

I loved you in innocence

Under the mindset that you fit comfortably next to me when I lined my life up

Putting all the people together until they stretched like a road in front of me

A path to my success.

My road has potholes aplenty now

From where people left

It has different pieces and bumps in the asphalt from where people came in

It has speedbumps behind me from where I had to slow down over a heartbreak

Oh, when we were kids, I loved you so sweetly.

I like you now. I like you.

See, my tire rims have been dented so easily by the potholes in my journey

And I don't have the money to replace them if you decide to pick up your piece of the concrete and leave.
These are a few
of my favorite things
My hair in the wind
Being pushed in a swing

A warm cozy blanket
on a snow covered night
Leaning over to give
kisses goodnight

A letter in the mail
from someone I love
A gentle touch
Or a great big hug

A song that is heard
At just the right time
A memory held dear
Deep in my mind

The words "I love you"
When life seems rough
Looking in their eyes
And knowing that's enough.

The little things matter
so much to me
They give me such joy
And make my heart sing

I'll cherish these things
Always and forever
For when I am feeling down
The little things I'll remember.

oh boy
with long hair
and a wild mind
he was always there
never hard to find
he called me lotus flower
always okay,
even if there were stormy showers
and something didn't go my way
i keep listening to his music
in hopes that he wrote it for me
he cured my sick
and set me free
i miss you
