Maria's Story
Tragedy follows her everywhere.
Everyone she loves keeps leaving.
Brokenhearted and bleeding,
She somehow keeps moving on.

The world she knows turns their backs on her.
Made to be alone.
Never go home.

The mighty heroes fall from grace.
The day they told her to walk away.
She is someone not worthy to be saved.
But she still held no blame.

Seven years passed and no anger controlled her.
At the end of her road,
She dreams of her home.

Just wants to go home,
And feel the love she used to know.
But she can't go home.
Forever alone.

With her final breath she forgives,
The sins of the others.
Never to hear the sound of their voice,
Not that she was given the choice.
But when she goes, she goes in peace.
Knowing she is going home.

Shadow Girl
She walks in the shadows
Pure of heart.
Of the demons
But the angels watch.

She belongs to both words
Yet, is in between.
Not quite there.
Not quite seen.

And if you ask what’s her name.
No one knows to this day.
She is a spirit that runs free.
She is a ghost, unseen.

There are whispers
That no one hears.
There are voices
Everyone fears.

She is not real
She shouldn’t be.
Not quite human.
Not quite beast.

Of the demons
But the angels watch.
But one day
She will get caught.

Call In the Dark
I’ve been waiting, waiting for you,
Wanting you,
Needing you,
Come find me.

And I’ll run, run into your arms,
Hold me close, protect me.
Stay, stay with me,
Save me from the dark.

As the tears fall from my eyes,
I wonder why, why I hurt.
Breathing is a tricky thing.
Come find me.

And I’ll run, run into your arms,
Hold me close, protect me.
Stay, stay with me,
Save me from the dark.

Darkness pulls me in.
Going under, under the surface.
Drowning in the dark.
Come find me.

And I’ll run, run into your arms,
Hold me close, protect me.
Stay, stay with me,
Save me from the dark.

Please, please find me.
I’m losing hope.
My strength is failing.
Come find me.

And I’ll run, run into your arms,
Hold me close, protect me.
Stay, stay with me,
Save me from the dark.

I’ll close, close my eyes.
Lie down, sleep now.
Can’t wait any longer.
Please find me.

And you’ll run, run for me.
Hold me close, protect me.
Stay, stay with me,
As I breathe my last breath in the dark.

What if I
What if I told you that I have a death wish?
What if I said I would die for you?
What if I said I want you to be happy?
Even if I have to die for that to come true.

Lies
How can you pretend,
That nothing matters.
Hide behind the lies,
That no one cares.
Go about invisible.
Screaming to be seen.
Needing to be seen.

Can't find the light,
In this darkness.
Can't win this fight,
Slowly losing.
Giving up faith,
Of being heard.
Always hurt.

Just to be alive,
Sometimes isn't enough.
All the lies,
Fall from your mouth.
Loneliness,
Is a disease.
All consuming.
Can't be free.

A Heroes Return
The King's crown is broken.
The Prince is at a loss.
Hope is a shining beacon.
But who will pay the cost?

The kingdom is in mourning.
The subjects are distraught.
They are looking for a hero.
But who will pay the cost?

A man in golden armor,
Has ridden into town.
A brave and true warrior.
Here to heal the crown.

The lost son returns.
The one they all thought lost.
Hope is a shining beacon.
He comes to pay the cost.

The King's heart is overflowing.
The Price is no longer lost.
Their hope is returning.
Their son/brother is home at last.

My Sympathies
I can't understand the pain you are going through.
And I don't even want to try.
But my heart is with you are you grieve and say goodbye.

I am sorry for your loss.
And I wish I could do more.
But know that tonight angels stand outside your door.

I hope in time you learn to breathe.
And memories don't bring you pain.
I hope you will believe in happiness again.
For the people who lost their loved ones from the school shooting in Connecticut and the shooting in Clackamas Town Center.

You're Not Alive
I know the secrets you keep locked inside.
The tears, the pain, all the lies.
And when I think you’ll let me in.
I realize you’re not alive.

Of all the things I thought were true.
I thought I could be with you.
Now I see the truth,
You’re not alive.

You’ve died so much inside.
You think you have to hide.
And when I think you’ll let me in.
I realize you’re not alive.

You’re died inside.
I’ve tried to find what you hide inside.
Full of lies.
But you’re not alive.

Save Me (Kat's song)
As I fall down, the darkness pulls me under.
Trying to drown, me in this crazy sea.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.

I can't see the light, at the end of the tunnel.
Going under, the darkness pulls me down.
Fighting just to remember, life before,
I lost myself.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.

I'm losing this battle, with my soul.
Trying to fight for this freedom,
That I can't hold.

Flashes of lightning, sounds of thunder.
I have to wonder, why did this happen to you?

What did I do?
To cause the love to shatter,
Like broken glass we scatter.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.

Words can't say how sorry I am.
To go back and change it again.
But I can't change who I am.

Fighting hard to stay sober,
As my blood runs colder.
The future is open and closed.
I just pray I have hope.

Won't someone come and save me,
from this life, that I lead.
Hold me close, as the world ends.

Sound of Goodbye
Please don't give up on the sound of goodbye.
Let me know that you're leaving so I don't cry.

If you don't love me, just go right now.
Stop playing your games, thinking I can take it somehow.
At least tell me the truth, so I don't have to pretend that I'm OK.

Please don't give up on the sound of goodbye.
Let me know that you're leaving so I don't cry.

When you close the door it won't open again.
If this love isn't real then I'll seal my heart from you.

Peel back the layers of what went wrong.
Was it ever right at all?

Please don't give up on the sound of goodbye.
Let me know that you're leaving so I don't cry.

I'll know it's not my fault, but yours.
You are the one who choose to walk out the door.

You = Love
I know you were the star of this story,

I was the extra in your scenes.

When the world turned to gray,

I knew it was because you went away.



You were the soccer player, I was your cheer leader,

You made me want to be a better player on life's field.



I hope that I told you, I can't remember if I did.

How much you meant the world to me,

I looked up to you even though you are younger then me.

Your light is a beacon to a quiet, lonely girl.

Your friendship made me stronger, enough to face the world.



You are the laughter in the wind, the sun in the rain.

You are the smile through to tears, the beauty in the pain.



Today I will grieve you, in the future I will see you.

Till that day arrives I'll keep you in my life.

Hold you in my heart and remember you in my dreams.

And pray for those you left to live on with their days.
In memory of Spencer Ford 1993 - 2010

Easily Broken
Easily broken, slowly repaired.
Hearts and promises are like glass.
Sometimes they shatter too fast.
He promised to love me.
Told me he cared.
But one day I turned around but he wasn’t there.
He left his ring on the table.
And my heart is in pieces.
My eyes are unfocused.
Tears blurring my sight.
I wonder if I did something wrong,
But was it right?
I learned something that day.
The day he left me.
The words that no one has dare spoken.
That hearts and promises are like glass...so easily broken.


Credit to Dustyn Smith for coming up with “hearts and promises are like glass... easily broken.”

You
You
When I see what you've left behind I know what love is and I know that you are watching over me.

If I could see your face and hear your laugh I would hold them in my heart forever.

If I could say one thing I'd tell you I love you and I'll see you again.

I'll never understand how a heart so beautiful could be a part of my life. You're the star, you're the hero, your everything I need. Everything I wish I could be.

You meant the world to me. You taught me to love with all my heart. You taught me not to take that love for granted.
Written 8/29/15. I wrote this a month before my best friend died. It seems to have been meant for her.

Broken-Hearted Girl
Sometimes the smile is a lie
And no matter how hard I try
You’ll never know the story
Of this broken-hearted girl

Miss you
I wish I could look into your eyes and see them reflecting back at me.
I wish I could hear you voice saying my name to me.
I wish I could tell you I loved you so much.
Just so I knew you understood that I loved you.
I wish I could take your place.
I wish I could change fate.
I wish I had one more chance,
To hold you in my arms again.
I miss your laugh.
I miss your smile.
I miss your voice and how you’d walk.
Every step you took had me mesmerized.
The way you could never tell a lie.
Every day I breathe.
Every day I dream.
Every day I pray I can make it through.
Every day I miss you.
You had this quite strength.
You had this wicked wit.
You followed through on everything.
I never once saw you quit.
Even when you faced the end.
I never saw you quit.

Questions
What are you running from?
What do you think you’ll find?
When the battles lost,
And there’s no place to hide.
Do you think you can,
Stand up in the end?
When all time has stopped,
And all hope has died.

What if you lose your heart?
What if you fall apart?
When the world lies,
And you’re left to cry.
Do you think you can,
Stand up in the end?
When the fight is lost,
And your strength is gone.

What if you found you had been betrayed?
What if you could never fix it?
When everyone you loved walks away,
And you can’t pick up the pieces.
Do you think you can,
Stand up in the end?
When you know everything is gone,
And you are left all alone.

What are you going to do?
What are you going to say?
When you’re at the end of the line,
And you’re running out of days.
Do you think you can,
Stand up in the end?
When time gives out,
And you’ve gone cold.

5 Minutes
5 minutes left, the clock is ticking slowly.
I don't want you to be in pain, but I don't want to let you go.
Stay as long as you want, as long as you can.
Try to hang in there. Don't go yet.

3 minutes, your breathing is slow.
The beeping is getting father apart. Oh no!
You are so young and have yet to live.
Time is against us again.
I wipe away the tears that fall down my face.

1 minute past, I miss you so much.
We are broken, deprived of you love.

Who Are You?
Who are you to haunt my dreams?
Who are you to tell me I am nothing?
Who are you to define me?
Who are you to take the very best of me?

As I walk through this life,
I fight just keep alive.
With you staring me down,
Like my heart beat is too loud.

Who are you to deny me happiness?
Who are you to break me down?
Who are you to decide I’m worthless?
Who are you to toy with my heart?

As I take the steps I need,
To figure out where life will take me.
With you staring me down,
Like you wish for me to drown.

Who are you to price my life?
Who are you to sell my rights?
Who are you to destroy my hope?
Who are you to tear my heart?

All I wanted was to love.
All I asked for to be love.
All I need was love.
All I got was a tragedy.

Who are you to decide?
Who are you to destroy my life?
Who are you?
Who are you?

Fear Makes Me Stay
A torn up heart
With a liar’s smile
But the darkness stretches on for miles

I love you so much
I can’t let go
Even though I am alone

Life for you would be better if I was gone
But a fear of pain
Is in my veins.

And it is that fear
That keeps me here
And you from happiness.

Spencer
I miss you.
I wish I could talk to you.
I wish I could say to you all the things I need to.
I wish I could talk to you about boys,
About the future,
About my fears,
And I wish I could tell you I love you.

I wish I could pour my heart out to you.
Tell you about the lowest thoughts that run through my mind.
Have you tell me my worth.
Tell me that these thoughts are wrong.
Tell me that I matter,
To you, to them,
Tell me that you love me.
For you were my best friend.

But there is one thing
Above all else I wish to tell
For you were my chosen sister, my best friend.
Thank you.
Thank you for being there even though you had to leave me in the end.

A song for a friend
Hold on, don't let go,
It can be hard I know.
Take a breath, take it slow,
All you need is a little hope.

I will always be here for you,
I will be whatever you need me to.
I'll be the shoulder you can cry on,
I'll be you hero, I'll help us be strong.
I'll be everything if you want me to.
I will always be here for you.

Hold on, don't let go,
It can be hard I know.
Take a breath, take it slow,
All you need is a little hope.

I'll be there when you fall, I'll be there when you call.
Just say my name and I'll come running,
Running to save the day.

Hold on, don't let go,
It can be hard I know.

If I am going to be honest
If I am going to be honest, I have 3 best friends. My heart, my soul, and my inspiration, you might not understand who you are or which one you are but you are important to me.

And if I am going to be honest, I have an angel on my shoulder. She is always in the back of my mind, she is my courage. She makes me want to be brave.

If I am going to be honest, I need you in my own way. I love you more than you can understand.

And since I am being honest, I wouldn't have it any other way.

Fire
You know nothing about the fire
That burns so bright.
You know nothing about desire
That consumes the night.
You know nothing about the rage
That sets fire to this town.
You know nothing about the fire
You know nothing about the flames.

If you think you do you’re wrong.
Before you know it you’ll be gone.
Don’t let it burn out
Or you’ll be found in the ground.

You know nothing about the fire
You know nothing about the flames
You don’t know they can consume you
If you don’t control your rage.

If it cools down
Let those embers turn to flame

You know nothing about the fire
That burns so bright.
You know nothing about the rage
That took my life.

I wish
I wish to heaven I could take back what I said.
I never meant to hurt you, never meant to wish you dead.

The day you walked away is a day I want to forget.
I don't want to live without you.
I wish you could see I need you to come back to me.

If I could show you the truth.
Tell you somehow that, baby, I love you.

It hurt like hell to remember you walking away that day in June.
I wish to god and heaven I could take back what I said.
I never meant you heart you, never meant to wish you dead.

I pray to God you could forgive me.
I know I don't deserve it but I need you to come back to me.

If I could show you the truth,
Tell you somehow that, baby, I love you.

How I Feel
I have to wonder
When moments like this
Where I feel like the worst daughter in the world.
If I were to go right now
Would you be happier?
Do I hurt you by being here?
Do you love me?
Or am I seeing a beautifully played lie.
I just want to rip my heart out
Right here
Right now
And die.
I’m not worthy of such a lie.

If I told you I was leaving,

If I told you I was dying,

If I told you I can't take it,
     would you hold me and say,
     without me your would wouldn't be the same?
If I said with my dying breath I need to see you,
     would you do everything to make that true?
If you were robbed of my love,
     would you fight to have it back?
If they told you I was gone,
     would you believe them and move on?

Power of Words
I just needed you.
I needed you to tell me it was ok.
I came to you broken.
I came to you in pain.
I reach out for you.
And you slapped my hand away.
You told me of your pain.
You said I shouldn’t complain.
I apologized to you.
I ripped my heart out for you.
And all you said was yeah, Ok.
You put my heart in fear.
Made me sick with worry.
You must mean more to me.
Then I meant to you.
Because you gave me nothing.
When I died for you.

Remember Her
You look at me with that sadness in your eyes.
The look that makes it hard not to cry.
The pain is still fresh like it happened yesterday.
And I know there is nothing I can say but this...
Just remember her, remember her smile.
Remember her laugh and the way she danced.
Just remember her, let her memory last.

Shush
As I get happy my voice gets loud
You tell me to be quite and I have to wonder
Would it be better if I had duck tape over my mouth

My heart breaks a wound not at all slight
Tears want to fall, my throat closes up

Do you car at all?

Someone to listen to me and give me advice.
Just like I do for others.

Four years this September to be exact.
The 27 marks the date I lost my last defense.

Some hearts
Some hearts break, some hearts mend,
Some hearts are never the same again.
Sometimes you have to move on.
Sometimes you have to crawl before you can run.
Some hearts bend, some harden,
Some hearts are never whole again.
Sometimes you have to breathe.
Sometimes you have to die a little, in order, to live.
