Prim

I had her
In my arms
Keeping her under my wing
Away from the words harm

I guess I did not
Hold her tight enough
She was ripped violently away
I thought I was tough

It turns out I am
Nothing but a child
A coward, shadow of a sister
My courage is mild

I watched her scream
As I tried to find
I felt my eyes burn
And throat tighten inside

They striped her away
She was kind and brave
She died for us
So we will not be slaves

Now I live
Moved on with my life
I tell my children
Of a rose cut by a knife

Inspired by The Hunger Games Trilogy. May Primrose Everdeen rest in peace, Safe and Sound in her medow.

Memory

My memory is failing me
I feel tired all the time
The ache in my stomach
Feels like I've swallowed dimes

I am terrified
Of whats next to come
My body feels old
Even though I'm young

And my body feels tired
Ancient and out of place
The blanks in my memory
Are leaving to much space

Did I mention
My memory
Is failing me?

Present

Our past does not define us
Our futures are unwritten
Our present is a gift
Life is uncertain

History books cannot teach
What you have taught to me
Tarrot cards cannot predict
What is ment to be

And as for my present, deary
I am thankful you are here
Without you I would be fragile
I would shed my many tears

At day we can run
And in dreams we may lay
On fields of jade green grass
And listen to what we say

So this present darling
Is exactly that
Every day is a gift with you
I promise not to hold back

You

Dead and numb
I wake every morning
But you my darling
Awake with open eyes

After all this pain
You still love the world
You are still thoughtful
Precious and kind

Through all our trials
And tribulations
One thing has remained
A constant in my life

And that is you

Without Hands

Just like the sand in
An hour glass
Running in
And out

Never going anywhere
Sounds just tedious to me

I dont want to be sand
In an hour glass
I wanna be free
I want to be me

And what about
The clock without its hands
It still ticks
In the drawer

Broken, rusty
Never used any more

I dont want to be
Put in a drawer
Away, to be forgotten
I wanna have a legacy

I wanna be remembered
So dont forget me

What about the dusty
Books that sit on this shelf
Have you forgotten
Them also

Pages filled of dreams
Wishes, prayers, and imagination
Did you forget them too?

Well dont forget me
And my legacy
Remember me
Dont forget me

Was named Dont Forget. I changed it. Written in 8/03/11. Written to the tune of a song I wrote.

Sublime

Someday baby
We will find
A perfect harmony
Love will be blind

Our souls will sing
Out there song
Someday baby
Thats where we belong

But till then
Im doing fine
On my own
Taking my time

I know you say
That today is the day
But nothing happens
Nothing happens
So I pray
That we will get along
Just fine
Taking our time
Sublime

You hold my hand
And you talk the talk
You say you love me
And then you knock

All my dreams
Your realities crush into me
And I realized that
That this is a tragedy

So I pack up my bags
I am heading down state
Staring a new life

I dont want to hear
How Im stupid
For wanting love

I know you say
That today is the day
But nothing happens
Nothing happens
So I pray
That we will get along
Just fine
Taking our time
Sublime

Its actually a song I wrote on the spot. So it might sound different.

****

I'm loosing my creativity
I'm loosing my will to write
So I'm not giving damns anymore
I'm being myself tonight
