i still try to remember
to take my boots off
at the door

my feet are wet
from walking in the rain

i leave laetoli footprints
on the pine floor
-like the first man

trying to walk upright
but can't seem to
get it straight

There's a lot of empty space
in a house
so full of quiet

wishing for thunder.

I would rather be empty
Than lead a shallow life.
I sat down with you
In the coolness of the night air
Watching you sip Dr. Pepper
After a long day's work
I listened to the sounds of summer
Watched a few stars twinkling
In the jet colored sky
We were happily chit-chatting
About this and that
We were all together
Just us three
Oh, those summer evenings
Gone forever
Only shadows remain
Touching my heart

For my dad & mom, Timothy & Hilda!!! ~~~~~<3
I wish I could be a better daughter to you...
I am sure that there're over a million ways
I could be much better than I am!!! ~~~~<3
Hope you enjoy this poem!!! :) ~~~~~<3
Looking back...

She could never
exactly pinpoint
when her love died

It was all the
little things really

That first argument
that threatened violence

Harsh words spoken
in anger
over and over again

Turning away
from a kiss and a cuddle

Ignoring words spoken

Belittling the importance
of her beliefs

Like petals falling
off a flower
one by one
they did drop

Leaving no life
Only thorns that hurt

cry, and water the flowers?
