I'm just a young man
With big dreams
And a heart that keeps growing
In size for his young lady,
Who has her own problems-
Dreams notwithstanding.

There are times, when you want to cut-off from the world.
And there are times, when no one's around you to hold.

There are times, when you've a lot to say but words fall short.
And there are times, when you've nothing at all but you still have to talk.

There are times, when you're strong enough but too scared to fight.
And there are times, when you're weak but you do what's right.

There are times, when you feel like crying but tears don't fall off your eyes,
And there are times, when you're happy but can't laugh as a friend next to you cries.

There are times, when you don't want to reveal the secrets buried in your heart,
And there are times, when you want to share but nobody's close enough to be a part.

All I want to say is, I could have lived through all those times,
If you had just said, "I'm with you sweetheart, so everything's gonna be fine".
It only hurts because you agree

You walk down the street,
You said you won't be long.
But as the hours pass by,
They don't notice your gone.

The rain falls down hard,
Freezing you to the core.
Try to block out the words;
Rude. Dumb. *****.

Words echo in your head,
Each causing you more pain.
Getting away from the hurt
Is worth a little rain.

You sit on a bench
In the dark all alone,
Remembering the days
When this place felt like home.

You wonder what changed,
How they think this is right.
Wondering if they worried
When you left home tonight.

You walk down the street,
You said you won't be long.
But you left with your things,
And you're forever gone.
Today an eyelash fell on my wrist,
and with my breath it sailed
on a wish.
That my heart will one day be
a little candle flame,
a faint hopeful spark,
to someone just as lost in the dark
as I am.
(Working on learning to love myself.  It's really hard, but I've at least started to.  You really do have to love yourself to love someone else, I know that now.  So I'm rekindling.)
I never used to write poems
But then I read yours
And I fell in love with your words
With you

Remember me whenever you’re blue
Remember me when there’s no one holding you
Any time you feel like you can’t make it through
Remember me and I will be with you


Remember me whenever you’re afraid
And when you lose your dreams along the way
Any time you feel like you can’t make it through
Remember me and I will be with you

  
Every night and every day I’ll be by your side
Just reach out and take my hand... I'll be your guide
And any time you feel like you can’t make it through  
Remember me and I will be with you


Remember me whenever you’re afraid
Remember me if there’s someone in my place
Any time you feel like you can’t make it through
Remember me and I will be with you

Remember me
When the color of the sunset fills the sky
Remember me
When you pray and tears of joy fall from your eyes.

Remember me as I was
Happy, alive holding no grudge
Remember me in a good life
Remember me as a good wife.

Because even when you can't make it through
I'll be there for you.

Just... Remember me.
you say
you don't care
but
i knew it was a lie
when i saw
yours
ever loving eyes
for i know
those sparkling eyes
will never lie
TO ME
for they are
always
FOR ME.....
they always show me the truth of what is in your heart.......
