Dear Mom and Dad,
I can’t tell you how lost I’ve been.
My stories would make you cry,
and I can’t tell you why I’ve sunk this far.
God above as my witness,
I just can’t win this fight.

Pray for me, Mom and Dad.
Pray that I’ll be okay.
Can God hear me drowning?
Does He hear me when I cry
alone?
Pray for me.
Who am I?
I cannot see.
Just pray for me.

Dear Mom and Dad,
it’s been so many years.
Would you even know me?
Do you see me in the street?
You would have kept walking
for the smell would scare you away.

Pray for me, Mom and Dad.
Pray that I’ll make it there.
Heaven is so much higher
than from where I fell.
Do you think God heard
when my body hit the ground?
Pray for me, just pray for me.
I don’t deserve Heaven,
and I’m so ****** afraid of Hell.

Dear Mom and Dad,
God told me you cried for me.
Today you went to my grave
beneath the magnolia tree, to sing
“Happy Birthday” so miserably.
Dad, you held her in your arms
as she sank to her knees.

Dear Mom and Dad,
*It’s been so many years.

This I Promise You

When asked how I feel,
I know right away.
My feelings are real,
And they will not sway.
I know not of the past,
That has wounded you so,
But time moves fast,
And I want you to know.
The way my heart beats,
When I look in your eyes.
I will not show defeat,
Nor will I disguise.
The words that I say,
Are pure and just.
I promise to stay,
This you can trust.
Your kiss on my lips,
So tender and sweet.
With your hands on my hips,
I begin to feel the heat.

A fever burns deep in my soul,
While light begins to fill the hole.
The darkness and despair that once plagued my mind,
I thought we’d be forever intertwined.
Then you appeared straight out of the blue,
I wish I knew then but I had no clue.
The thought of you is my first of the day,
You turn me away from a world of grey.
I want you to know I’ll always be here,
So please my dear, you have nothing to fear.
When darkness takes root and you hear the thunder,
I won’t let the world turn you asunder.
I promise to be there in the days of joy,
As well as the days that seek to destroy.
The happiness you have that I love to see,
Why can’t the world just let you be?
Your dreams of the future that you hold so dear,
I only wish to help you adhere.
I will not be in the way of the life that you want,
But I will be the one to help you on a jaunt.
I am behind you completely in everything you do,
Even if it means starting anew.
You are worth the world and I hope that you see,
I will do anything to help you be free.
Free of the pain that you wear on your heart,
I will be there if you want a new start.
I promise you that you’ll never be alone,
And I’ll show you more love than you’ve ever known.
I won’t leave or abuse you in any way,
But I’ll spend each moment making your day.
While time is needed to think this through,
I’ll start by saying I bid you adieu.
But before I go there is something you should know,
I won’t try to go.
If you hand me your heart, I’ll cherish it more,
You’re someone special I already adore.
When you dream, I hope you feel wanted,
And start every new day feeling undaunted.
Sweet dreams, my dear, for the night is ending,
Just remember my feelings will always be unbending.

"Together"
This word brings two people into one
perfect sound.
The way the word rolls off my tongue,
it sends chills up my spine and back down.

"Us" and "we"
only make the music better.
These melodious sounds urge me to sing.
The way "us" and "we" dance together
is a fairy tale scene.

And finally "forever"
completes the play.
But it isnt over!
No, far from it. You see we simply
lived "us" and "we",
"together" and "forever",
happily ever after.

It was a beautiful day for a picnic.
The sky was the deepest blue
with a bright yellow sun hiding too-
Hiding behind fluffy white clouds, wasnt it?
You were stunning. Radiant.
Your auburn hair lit up in the sun
and made the lush grass pale in comparison.
You were dressed in the purest white
with not a speck of dirt to be seen.
It was impossible not to stare
as you lounged on the checkered blanket by my side.
Oh how I longed to hold you
and stroke your lovely hair!
To kiss your lips and cheek
and clutch you close to my heart.
It was a perfect day for a picnic,
but you didnt have to spend it with me.
I understand it's been three years
since you buried me under our tree.
Live your life in radiance and sunlight,
my dear.
Be free.

Like a dandelion blowing in the wind,
I'm letting go of every sin
that I have ever held against you.
I realize that this may not mean much
to someone who
walked out of my life forever.
You didnt say goodbye to me
or your family.
No, you walked out forever.
But the longer I hate you,
the longer I have to think about you.
I'm through!


Like a dandelion blowing in the wind,
I'm letting go of every sin
that I ever held against you.
In the wind I'll blow too
because I'm letting go of you.
