Absent

Absent

I miss you today.
I miss you now.
The house is empty without your smile.

As I sit here, without you here,
I realize the words on your grave is sincere.

"A father, a son, a hurricane event.
Forever an angel, by God you were sent."

a girl

a girl

As she is sitting
wondering anew
I see her hope fade away

can it be
so it seems
she is here to stay

Show me your beauty and dance with your eyes.

Comrades.
I'm running but so is time.
I will not fail,
I will not fall.

three seconds left
ten steps to go.
please stop counting.
I'm coming.

Next year I will not fail. I will not fall.
Next year it will be three steps.
ten seconds.

Comrades.

A marathon for warriors.
A marathon for me.

Dad

Dad

Everything has a beginning
everything comes to an end.
Everyone's always judging
but what do they really care...

And why didn't you tell me?
And why didn't you say something?
Did you think I wouldn't mind
did you think I wouldn't care?

So tell me
what happens now
I'm just you little girl
don't mind me.
Don't mind me.

Hope inside

Elmarie May 2015

Hope inside

black and white the days go by
wondering about the future
what it may hold and where I might die
or am I just an intruder

You say i'm okay
that I will survive
but yet
I struggle to strive

'cause you see my friend
depression is real
not just a trend
not unreal.

And still, I see myself smiling
living
not dying

I see hope for tomorrow
laughter and joy
not just sorrow
not just destroy.

Maybe we are all just pieces,
in the universe's unending puzzle.
Unending puzzle with unending moves.

sometimes I catch myself wondering
Is this even real?

You

Elmarie May 2015

You

Singing from a distance
but dancing in your heart
You think you can hide it
but honey, we never are truly apart.

You think you can fight it again
and again
but you my dear
you are insane.

so kiss me goodnight
oh sweetheart of mine
so together we'll dream
about some other time.

— The End —
