"Patience," flapped the Butterfly's wings
"Patience," said Thomas Edison
"Patience," said Abraham Lincoln
"Patience," said the Diamond's sparkle
"Patience," said the Pearl's smoothness
"Patience," said Columbus' sailors
"Patience," the monks prayed
"Patience," the Mountains yawned
"Patience," Maturity recollected
"Patience," Healing nodded
"Patience," Insight demanded!
"Patience," winked the stars of the Milky Way

I have found a place so precious
A place of peace and quiet rest
Its so serene and beautiful
It makes one wonder where it was all along

I have found a place of joy and love
Like darkness giving respect to light
Sadness gives way to tranquility
There is something about this place
That turns the bad to good
How can a simple place give me comfort?

This place is in your arms
Where the skin of our chests meet
Heart beat against heart beat
The sweetest melody is formed
A place where all stands still
Your heart echoes in the background
And only the feel of your sweet breath confirms life
A place of peace and love

If only you were mine to keep
I would wonder to this place all day long
I would hide from the world and worry not
I would listen to the sound of your heart
Did you know that hearts sing better than voices?
All day long your heart would sing to me
If only you were mine to keep.

Tears fell from her eyes
In disbelieve she rolled her frail body like a ball
Holding her feeble knees to her face
Her heart pumped pain through her body
"What will I do without you", she cried
Tears fell from her eyes

Right next to her he sleeps every night
Better conversations with his phone he has
His fingers typed in quick responses of laughter
While she read the Holy Book in pain
Silence was the music that kept them at peace
While tears ran down her pink cheeks

He left her for the woman on the phone
A tight competition of broken word
Texting has become a norm in the house
While she cooks the food demanded in rage
Crippled by fear of the fist
She cries and stirs the pots of pain

Tears of pain fell from her eyes
She talks to the man upstairs every night
About the vile man sleeping next to her
Touching her body with ***** hands
Lusting for her figure and not her heart
She cries in sorrow and waits for tomorrow

Her tears did not fall on the ground
The Man upstairs counted them all
He put them in a bottle
"This too shall pass my dear child"
Tears of Joy fell from her eyes
Because her prayers have been heard

You say you want my love
My sweet lips you want to taste
My heart you want to feel
My skin you want to caress
Let me tell you a story you don't wanna hear
Of the love that broke my heart

I miss him so much I want to cry
Days have gone by and I haven't seen him
His bright face still smiles at me in my mind
With eyes that wink at my intelligence
"Tee, don't ever leave me again"
His last words that touched my heart

I miss him so much my heart bleeds
Days have gone by and I haven't heard from him
His kind words still ring in my head today
"**** you are ****"
His last words that got me to smile

I miss him so much my mind cannot fathom
Days have gone by and I haven't touched him
His gentle hands would lay on my hips
as he pulls me with his strong hand
Gently to his sweet breath

I miss him so much my body shakes
Like an addict longing for a fix one more time
I long for his tight squeezing arms around me
He lays there so close yet so far
"Should I wake him for a fix of pleasure"
My last thoughts before my trauma

My love left me alone
To a place I cannot reach
I want to go there each time
I miss his gentle touch
I miss his heavy compassionate eyes on me
With his body beside me
A perfect plan to bring him back
I gently kissed his lips with care
Hoping for love to respond not despair
Like a corpse with no feel he finally said
"Tee we shouldn't do this"
His last words that killed my heart

This story is too deep for me to tell
So listen to me my love
I will get straight to the point
Don't expect me to love with no heart
It got killed during an emotional warfare
Stabbed with a double edged sword of rejection
It bled out all the sweetness
I have no heart to give you my love
I call you love out of normality
Like his words broke me
I don't think we should be doing this!
the little things
like a tall sunflower
poking through a field of weeds
the crunching of fall leaves underneath my feet
the way you smile at me
the feeling of holding hands
not caring how I look when I dance
home alone, singing at the top of my lungs
listening to someone's heart beat like it's the beat of the drums
the feeling of sleeping in
oh and that's just where it begins
moments with the people you love
gazing at the stars above
when your favorite song comes on
staying up with friends till dawn
laughing so hard you cry
the feeling of stomach butterflies
the warmth of my body next to yours
laughing because you snore
silly looking morning hair
the pride after bowling a spare
wearing my yellow boots
drinking lots of apple juice
hot cocoa after a rough day of sledding
petting a dog who isn't shedding
hearing a joke for the first time
finding the perfect tree to climb
reuniting with someone you miss
the feeling of being kissed
a million things which go unnoticed
but maybe that's because we're to focused
on making sure everything is perfect
but the little things are what make everything worth it.

Many have been hurt
Many have been seen
Many have been through
the pain and suffering

I see the way people look
I see the way people acted
I see the tears the cry
I see the hurt the have

I may not be god
I may not be perfect
I may not be the same
But I am hurt.
