We are all breathing for something great in life,
but most think the answer is love.

Sometimes I want so bad to tell you
“I miss you everyday”
And,
Sometimes I want so bad to just leave us all behind.

True Love Disovered

He rests besides me,
Gentle as a sheep.
So quietly does he sleep,
Twitching, but not making a peep.

Slowly he will rise
And blink straight at me.
I am his line of sight
The only thing he thinks he needs.

Gently he will smile at me,
With glowing eyes,
Showing all the passion he could ever comprise.

I am his whole world,
And I am happy to say,
He is mine.
And I know he would fight for me
Till the day that he will die.

And vigorously those tears will fall down my face
Anguish jumping from me in every space.
They will whisper to me
“He is in a better place.”
But he is mine,
In every aspect of time and space.

Anger will slowly fill those tears,
As I look at our past years
And know you gave me all you could.
If only I could give you all you should
Have gotten within those loving years
Of dedication through my fears.

Love will slowly seep for me
As I sleep alone and dream
Of your furry face upon my lap
And your smiling eyes that made me laugh.

A Poet?

Sometimes I think I am a poet
And laugh cause I didn’t know it.
Then I think again,
And see I have been mistaken.
For all the things I have written
Are just words on a page
And make no impact to the deeds of the day.
They are stereotyped fears,
And all of the things I hold dear,
They mean nothing to those who come near.
My words hold no impact,
For the world that holds me here.

Untitled

It’s time to sleep
It’s time to eat
It’s time to sit back and relax.

But my mind is reeling
And I am feeling
Such unexpected things.

It’s time to calm
Down your breath
And still your churning mind.

But I am sitting
And I am seeing
The world through such different eyes.

To Be Strong

I don’t want to be whole,
With you by my side.
I want to be myself
To the very day I die.

I want to be strong
Independent
And free.

I don’t want to lean on you
Or for you to lean on me.

I have never viewed myself
As the type of girl to care
For all the attention,
Flashing jewelry,
And gorgeous hair.

I have never seen myself
As the type of girl that would
Need a man
To do every thing she could.

I will stand strong and proud.
Maybe you’re by my side.
But I will always be myself
To the very day I die.

This Boy

He is made of laughter and heartache
He is made of so much pain
He is made of so many elements
That I’ve never seen him the same.

He’s a survivor and a fighter
He is made of tooth and nail
He is made of so much laughter
That it makes me want to wail.

I have seen his rough exterior
I have seen his broken heart,
I have seen the self he tries to hide,
I don’t see how he doesn’t fall apart.

I don’t take pity on him
For there is none such to give;
I look at him with wonder
For the different life he has lived.

He has seen such love and affection,
He has seen all lives brutal pains,
He has known the sweet attention
That only a woman has to donate.

He is made of the melting glaciers
And he is made of a burning flame,
And yet he is cold and gentle,
But still he is never the same.
