The sky grows dark
As the the sun cowers out of sight
A drip, three drips falls
As the rain wets our head
A step, two steps in
Our hands clutched in an embrace
A thought, just one shared
We kiss in the rain
One heart, two heart breaks
Love is not meant for us all
Freed clutch, burning sun
The end, alas is upon us
My darling thanks for all
Goodbye comes with a fall

I found a friend in whom my secrets wouldn't part
I found a friend to push me 'round in a cart
I found a friend to hold me in my hands
A friend to follow me to no man's land
Never to leave no matter the weather,
This promise we made, while we hugged each other.

I found a friend, who strived to make me suffer
A friend who held my grip with evil agendas
A friend who left me in the middle of desserts
A friend who pushed me out in anger
I found a friend who loved no other
A friend who pushed me out with a cart
A friend in whom my secrets did part
I view the greens
of the cemetery field.
Graves full of flowers,
Except for one still.

Seasons had come,
seasons did go.
Summer's eve
and winter's cold

Headstones aligned,
all in a row,
a small single one,
sits all alone

No single flower
or family visits,
away from it all,
It's sad as I see it.

For ten long years,
nobody cared.
My feelings are somber
and mildly snared.

Viewing the marker,
my tears were so many.
The inscription it said,
"I love you, my daughter, Emily"

Put it to rest
Don't put it to test
That hatred of yours,
Deep down in your chest

Put it to test
Don't put it to rest
Those loving words you hold,
Deep down in your chest

For then, would you have emptied your chest
And completed your quest,
And you'll be rest assured
That your decision was the best.
Life is too short to hold resentments, forgive the ones who hurt you, and don't be scared to say 'I love you' to the ones you truly care about. They might be with you for one second, and in the next gone, never to be seen again....

Adele
She's afraid to spread her wings
as everyone got lost in the air
She was left in her own misery
in the midst of nowhere
she broke her wing
promised not to fly
Alone and scared, she has to try
Ready to open wide
and flap that white light feather
She wanted to soar high
But afraid to fall and cry
Looking fierce and brave
The only thing
is to get lost from this cave
It's the only way to be saved
No more tears and fears
Casting the trapped shadows
It's time to go and feel,
how the cool wind
wanders through her feet*

You fall and get hurt but you can't stay in darkness forever. It takes time but don't forget to try. Go on, fly.
