Gala Oct 2019
Hoping to be that which I can't
hoping to see you smile at last
I am lost in this shadow
wanting to see the light

Hoping for some change
hoping for revenge
I do not understand the steps you take
and I don't want to partake

Hoping to get away
hoping to stay the same
conflict arises within me
every hour of every day
Gala Mar 2019
Changes my heart makes
without the approval of my head
from one to the next, not much thought

It's like a wicked game
giving all the love away
with not much left at the end

Always the same narrative
the same story
easily changing the players
without being sorry

Truly vile
the heart loves telling those lies
I try to control it
but it always leads to my downfall
Gala Nov 2018
I need you now
more than ever before

But you still leave
and walk out that door

No regards for feelings
all our history
is clearly fleeting

My mind races
as my heart paces
The efforts are futile

I feel you slipping away
further everyday

And I just watch
wishing you would stay
Gala Nov 2018
Its a need
One I don't want to address

I feel it all around
The constant longing

My dreams turn to you
But my actions tear us apart

I wish to stop
To just stand with you

On last time
Our hearts pounding

Like it used to be
No fear surrounding
Gala Sep 2018
Imposing mountains
Expanding forests
Nature all around.

Images of my childhood
pass me by

Weekends by the beach
and long drives
to reach those trees

The kindness
of my people
never far behind

I wish to go back

To my home in the hills
With mango trees
and fresh breeze
Gala Aug 2018
I've imagined it many times
You and me together
All those years from now

I see us come alive
Enjoing each other
and living our best life

With a nice place
where we can be free
and just be together at last

It will be our happy place
the house atop the hills
that we have created
now come alive

Cozy winter nights
spent together by the fire
and summer afternoons
spent together by the pool

This will be our life
as we have discussed it
many times
you and I
from here on out
Gala Aug 2018
Behind the wheel
I remember how you loved
Our long drives
Though winding streets
Going down those hills

I miss the days
Playing in the white sand
Watching the pink hues
As we lay next to each other
Forgetting our blues

We used to talk
For hours
Non-stop
About our dreams
And our hopes

Wishing to connect
Going deeper
We would forget
That we were beaten
At our own game
