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.

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.
Another new year,
But it's still not the same.
I'd rather relive an old year,
One where I can hear you say my name.

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.

Wont stop bleeping, can't start breathing,
Knowing where the truth lies.
Listening to you say you miss them,
But what about you and I?

Was it real?
Or am I invisible?
If I died would you notice, would you even cry?
Was it just school days, memories fade?
Or are you a true friend of mine?

Breaking down and building up, but I can't decide.
Were you a true friend of mine?

Was it hope or a disguise?
Are you a true friend of mine?

Tell me! Was our friendship a lie?
Or are you a true friend of mine?

Hey baby girl, let your light shine bright.
You precious creature,
You know I love you, right?
My shooting star,
Light the world on fire with how beautiful you are.

Hey precious child,
You beautiful thing.
You are so smart,
You could do anything.

Oh my angel, I love you so.
Your sparkle makes my day.
Your heart so pure,
Is forever my saving grace.
Your love so sure.

Princess of happy ever after,
You light up my life like a firecracker.
You are my joy though the sorrow.
Don’t you let that light fade.

Shine on my super star.
Show the world just who you are.
Proud to have you with me now.
Just wish you never have to grow up.

Sweetheart, you are all that’s good in me.
You make me a better person.
You are my dream.
You are my everything.

Go on, baby, show the world who you are.
Shine on with all your heart.
Don’t let them bring you down.
Don’t leave without a sound.

Hey little girl, with the smile so bright.
In the dark you make everything all right.
Your faith in people is a delight.
Your laugh is a source of light.
I read the news today.
I thought I was dreaming,
Then I started to cry,
When I realized I would never wake up.

The world turned to shades of gray,
That day I read that you were gone.
You were my best friend,
The only one that knew me better than anyone.

I don't understand how God could take you away so young,
Or how the world could be so gray.

I will miss your smile and your laugh.
The way you did things, that silly little dance.
The golden heart that beat in your chest.

You can be my Robin and I’ll be your Batman
And together we will clean up this wasted land.
Sometimes the smile is a lie
And no matter how hard I try
You’ll never know the story
Of this broken-hearted girl
Hey, girl why are you so sad.
I know you fell so hard.
And you don’t know how to get back,
To what you had before.
Your broken dreams have shattered like glass.
And you don’t know how to face your past.

I know it seems impossible
But you can try
To pick yourself up and fly
On broken wings.

You found that you have no faith in anyone.
So tired of being someone you’re not.
Lies were all he left you.
Truths you’ll never find.
Then there were the tears you cried.

I know it seems impossible
But you can try
To pick yourself up and fly
On broken wings.

Your broken heart can’t heal.
So you decide not to feel.
You need to remember what it was like to dream.

I know it seems impossible
But you can try
To pick yourself up and fly
On broken wings.

Breathing set you free
To fly with your broken wings.
You look forward to living your dreams
Now that you learned to fly on broken wings.

You know it’s not impossible
Because you tried
You picked yourself up and flied
On broken wings.

Now healing wings…
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.
Cut
Cut
Do you know the power for your words?
How they break my heart.
Do you know I can’t see beyond those scars?
That words that might not have been spoken in hurt,
Have cut me far too hard.
And the hole burned in my side,
Won’t heal in time.
I left my heart lying in a field in Kansas.
Broken, bleeding and hopeless.

I left my body in a city called Gotham.
In a lightless tomb of delirium.

I left my spirit in a Metropolis.
Where heroes are born fearless.

I left my mind running through time.
In multiple dimensions of earths and crime.

I will never be whole inside.
But all I need is you by my side.
I can see the strength in your eyes is getting weak.
Trying to keep alive is becoming quite the feat.
You have so much weight placed on your shoulders.
Forced to grow up a little older.
Left your childhood behind too soon.
There was nothing left for you to do.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.

The sweet innocence that once burned so bright,
Is gone with all of its light.
That burden you carry around,
Will someday bring you down.
If only you would take my help.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


You don’t have to go in alone.
You can always come home.
I will be here when you call.
I will catch you when you fall.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.

I know that trust doesn’t come to you easy.
And asking for help makes you uneasy.
But that façade you keep,
The one that leaves everyone out of reach,
Is what will bring you to your knees.
If only you could be free.

Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.
Dear forest ranger,

Though I didn't know you,
What happened rang through my heart.
It's not fair that so soon in this new year,
You were taken from this earth,
Just January first.

The sirens ring through my head,
Haunting the woods surrounding this mountain.
I don't know your name,
Or if you had a spouse or kids.

I hope you knew help was coming,
I'm sorry they didn't make it in time.
I pray that your loved ones will be alright,
That in time they can heal.
I hope they find peace in knowing,
You are watching them from Heaven.
Written 1/1/2012. A forest ranger was killed on January 1, 2012 up at Mount Rainer. My family was in the area. We listened to the news and it was so rough with my cousin wanting to go out and help.

This poem is for that brave ranger.
For once I just want someone to tell me that it’s not true.
Why can’t you comfort me instead of tell me that I’m at fault too.
When I apologize don’t tell me, “Now you know how I feel.”
Forgive me. Love me. Tell me it’s a lie.

I feel like the world will be a better place without me.
And you just proved it.

I am so sorry that I am a terrible daughter.
I didn’t realize I was so bad.
I want to be better.
I don’t want to burden you anymore.

I just don’t know how.
I don’t know how to break my personality.
I don’t know what to do to be better.
I want to be better.

You are everything to me.
You don’t deserve to suffer a fool like me.
You are my hero and my angel.
I’m sorry if my existence hurts you.
He packed his bags and never looked back, so they say.
But his little girl remembers it differently.

Did you know that she prayed everyday for you to come home?
Did you know she would stay up late and wait for you to walk through the door?
Did you know she still believes in you?
Did you know?

Her mother told her he was never coming home,
But she still had hope even four years down the road.
She's still waiting....

Did you know that she prayed everyday for you to come home?
Did you know she would stay up late and wait for you to walk through the door?
Did you know she still believes in you?
Did you know?

She no longer asks when daddy's coming home.
Now she wonders why he choose to go...
You once told me,
I was special.
That you would love me,
Forever after.

And I have to wonder,
What I saw in your eyes.
I am getting so tired.
Aren’t you sick of all the lies?

Are you ever going to see,
That my heart is so broken.
Because of what you’re doing to me,
I can’t feel anymore.

I looked into your eyes
And what I saw was something else.
I’ve broken all our ties.
And I’ll let you go,
But you need to know.

I’ll always love you.
I’ll never forget you.
But I can’t forgive you.
For making my world shatter.
And if I ever see you,
Standing with some other girl.
Just know it will hurt me.
Just know it will break me,
Further then when I first lost you.

The heart is a strange place to be.
I wonder what this could mean.
My undying love,
For someone who doesn’t truly love me.

I signed my heart away.
Watched the last part of me die away.
Finding you so happy.
Makes it hard to breathe.

What did I do that made you stop loving me?
Was it even me that caused the love to end?
All I know is.

I’ll always love you.
I’ll never forget you.
But I can’t forgive you.
For making my world shatter.
I poured my heart in a letter that you never read.
You keep it on your nightstand beside your bed.
Someday you’ll regret not reading what it said.
But by then I’ll be dead.

The life that I once had,
Was taken from me in a flash.
This disease spread far too fast.
You feel a guilt that is too strong.
Because you were too late,
Now I am gone.

I waited to hear what you would say.
But I never saw you after that day.
Fate decided that you and I could never be.
Fate decided to end my life early.

As I lay there dying,
You ran across my mind.
I wonder what I did,
If I crossed a line.

As I lay here broken,
Tears fall from my eyes.
You will not be here.
As I start to die.

I have no anger toward you.
I wish I could say goodbye.
But you choose to let me go.
So I’ll leave you as I die.

My last few thoughts are not of you,
For that is more then you deserved.
No, I left with a feeling of love.
A feeling you did not return.

I have no regrets when it comes to loving you.
But not living until it was late,
Was a struggle to get through.
But one must not fight fate.
And when it’s time to go,
I leave with a free heart.
One you didn’t know.
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.”
I feel like a liar in your presence.
What you see is not who I really am.
It's the picture I display to hide myself.
Afraid you wont love me if I am nothing less.
The fallen angels call to me reminding me who I am,
They try to bring me back into their world but I’ve gotten free.
Because I found my wings and I’m flying high,
I am now over the sea.

Don’t come for me,
I am too far gone.
Don’t try to follow,
You won’t last long.

I can hear the fallen angels sing,
Whispering words of fear,
And I don’t want to listen,
But I still hear.

Don’t come for me,
I am too far gone.
Don’t try to follow,
You won’t last long.

The fallen angels stand silent waiting for me to fall,
They want to remind me why I was one of them.
A broken girl,
They want to see condemned.

Don’t come for me
I am too far gone
Don’t try to follow
You won’t last long

I worked hard to get where I am.
These wings of mine are very strong,
They beat with the power of freedom,
Somewhere the fallen angels don’t belong.

Don’t come for me
I am too far gone
Don’t try to follow
You won’t last long

Don’t come for me
I am too far gone
Don’t try to follow
You won’t last long
False memories
Of what used to be
But you’re not the hero
I believed

False memories
Playing in my head
Silence deafening
I wish I as dead

I don’t know how these memories
Came to be
All I know is
They can leave

False memories
Are haunting me
Telling me lies
Burning me

False memories
Of times gone by
You standing there
Saying goodbye

I don’t know how these memories
Came to be
All I know is
They can leave

False memories
Stealing this life of mine
My last memory
Is running out of time

False memories
Let’s burn them down
I won’t stand here
And let myself drown

I don’t know how these memories
Came to be
All I know is
They can leave
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.
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 walk the streets full of memories so sweet.
Closing my eyes I can almost hear you speak.
You're saying you love me.

You were everything I ever wanted.
You were my heart and soul, my world, my light.

Gone is that beautiful smile,
Gone is that laugh that lasted for hours,
And the way you whispered my name.
Gone are those spur of the moment trips,
Gone is your love with it.
Gone is my heart.
You were my heart.

I miss you more than I can say.
I dream about you everyday.
Closing my eyes I can almost hear you speak.
You're saying you love me.

You were the stars that shine at night,
You were everything good in my life.

Gone is that smile,
Gone is that laugh,
Gone is the way you whispered my name.
Gone are those spur of the moment trips,
Gone is your love with it.
Gone is my heart.
You were my heart.
Written 8/6/10. I hear this in my head like I Go Back by Kenny Chesney and Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll.
As my eyes grow heavy, sleep will surly come.

Let’s sing the songs of angels as I lay my body down.
And my mind will dream of only good things.
Sleeping without a sound.

Lord, lay me down to sleep.
If I die before I wake.
I pray my soul you’ll take.
And let those I leave behind,
See the light in the darkness,
Feel peace at night when they rest their heads.
Dream of only good things.

Let the sunshine on the day they lay me to rest,
Let the beauty of the world make them feel less.

And let's sing the songs of angels as I lay my body down.
And my mind will dream of only good things.
As I go without a sound.
Tears in the laughter
Tragedy abounds
Healing though memories
Both silly and profound
A love though three generations
From great to grand.

We miss you so much
The smell of cigarettes haunts my memories
Floods me with times never to be lost
I regret not spending more time with you
Not taking you in when I had you.

There is an emptiness
A hole where you should be
We laugh and joke
It helped us grieve
But every holiday I close my eyes and wish you were here with me.

I think, no, I know you are proud of us
The way we stay so strong
Together we are whole
Together we belong.

I am thankful we have you forever captured on screen
Whenever I need to hear your voice it’s there
I can laugh at how silly you are
I feel you here with me
Just seeing you
Hearing you
Makes it bearable.

It’s been four years now
Four years since that day and the pain still hasn’t fully gone away

I could never forget you
For Tenino is your town
I love that people know you
Your name gets around.

I love you, Grandma Monk
You are so very important to me.
So here I am standing at your doorway
Waiting for you to let me in.
So I can take back the things I said.
I never really meant to hurt you.
I just lost sight of what you mean to me.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am hoping we can fix what I broke.
Here I am again.

The days go by and I’m trying,
To fix what I have done.
Because the words I said were hateful.
The words I said were wrong.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am hoping we can fix what I broke.
Here I am again.

I find that I am losing you all over again.
I find that I can’t simply take back what I said.
I hurt you too bad this time,
And I realize I went too far to get you back.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am hoping we can fix what I broke.
Here I am again.

I stand at the end of all I’ve done.
Knowing there is nothing to be won.
Your heart is no longer mine.
You are gone forever this time.
So here I am to say I’m sorry.
Here I am to say I love you.
Here I am knowing I lost you.
Here I am again living without you.
I know that had fate not intervened.
You would be here enjoying this with me.
Standing in line with your family and friends.
Waiting for the Hobbit to begin.

I bet you got an eagle eye view.
Watched them create magic.
Did you walk around New Zealand,
Traveling the path of the Fellowship?

Did you stand in that theater,
Laughing along with us?
Enjoying the adventure,
As if you never left us.

And when I finally see you.
And I wrap you  in a hug.
Will you laugh and tell me,
Who was your favorite Dwarf?
Written after the midnight premier of The Hobbit were I ran into my best friends family. I know if she were still here she would have been there too.
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
IF
If I told you I was leaving,
    would you ask me to stay?
If I told you I love you,
    would you say I love you too?
If I told you I was dying,
    would you do all you could do?
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?
Written 8/9/10
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.
This is for everyone who lost a child, a friend, or a partner/spouse.**



In another life you are still here.

Your just as beautiful as the day I first held you.

Now your safe from harm, cradled in God's arms.

But in another life I am holding you.



In another life your laughing.

Your smile is just as bright as the first time we shared a laugh.

Now your an angel soaring with the clouds.

But in another life I am laughing with you.



In another life you and I are one.

Your just as charming as the day I met you.

Now your watching over me, while I live without you.

In another life I am with you.



And in another life there is no pain,

No loss of loved ones, no moving on, no blame.

But in this life where I am.

I'll live without you the best I can.
What happened to the pure of heart?
Where did they all go?
The innocent have all but gone.
They aren't in this world any more.

They left us with greed and cowardice.
Streets washed red with blood.
Of life and love there is none.

It's one man for himself.
They stand on the front line,
But there is no physical enemy on the other side.

Where did the strong of spirit go?
Do they not still live?
Is chivalry really dead?
Or is it in hiding again?

We are left in a pit of darkness.
Where hope is all but none.

But wait!
There is a light, so bright that it nearly blinds.
The light is warm and beautiful, where love and hope shine.

There is a man who is holding out His hand.
"Please, come and take it. I will free you from this land."

So we take His hand and walk with Him.
Away from this place.
To somewhere so beautiful no description can name.

"Welcome home, my child." He spoke with a smile so bright.
And for the first time we are safe in Heaven's light.
Slow down, just breathe,
Feel the weight lifting off your winds.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes,
Listen to your heart beat with time.

Now your flying above the pain,
Free from what you've seen, from suffering.
Everything will be alright,
If you believe, if you try.

Slow down, just breathe,
Feel the weight lifting off your wings.
Take a deep breath, close your eyes,
Listen to your heart beat with time.

And you'll be welcome into His arms,
Safe and sound, free from harm.

Stand up
Stand tall
Don't let yourself fall

Get up
Get out
Don't give into doubt

Run free
Run fast
Leave the haters in the past
I think my problem is I am tired of silence so I speak out of turn.
I want to be heard but it stays in my head and all the wrong things get said.
I want to talk and cuddle and love.
I want someone to love me and not feel like the ghost.
I want someone to tell me nicely that I hurt them or not take it to heart.
Not someone to make me worthless and not worthy of love.
I want to be better but I fear I cannot.
And the world wouldn’t miss me if I were gone.
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.

The weight is placed on your shoulder.
Long before the world grew colder.
You are your father’s daughter.
Before you failed your brother.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


Made to raise your little brother.
But when he was taken along with your mother.
The responsibly that went unspoken.
Now has left your heart so broken.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


You believe it’s all your fault.
The thought makes you halt.
Afraid to play your part.
And you’re worried you’ve lost your heart.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


Coming to the end of your rope.
Heading down a slippery *****.
Can’t listen to what you need to hear.
All you know is fear.
Starting to feel weak.
Not getting any sleep.
The nightmares haunt you.
Hoping you can make it through.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.


Don’t give up on me now.
You can make it through somehow.
Please just take my hand,
I can help you stand.


Just hold on.
The sun is soon rising.
A new day has come.
Breathe deep and carry on.
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.
How can you pretend?
That nothing matters.
Hid behind the lies.
That no one cares.
Go about invisible.
Screaming to be seen.
Needing to be seen.

Cant find the light.
In this darkness.
Cant 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.
Cant be free.
You said we were going to be together.
You said that nothing could break us apart.
Now you say that this was never right
Now I am left living a lie.

I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).

How could this have not been right?
How could you let me live a lie?
How could I have trusted you?
And how could I ever get over you?

You promised that you would never leave me.
You promised we could make it through everything.
Now you say that you need to go.
Now I am left here all alone.

I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).

How could you promise me something untrue?
How could you leave me alone that night?
How could I have believed in you?
And how could I ever get over you?

You never meant for this to go this far.
You never meant for me to fall this hard.
You didn’t see this coming.
You didn’t stop to think.
You didn’t care to tell me I didn’t mean a thing.

And now I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).

Even though I know I deserve better.
I still loved you more than ever.

I am on my knees begging for this pain (to be over).
Standing on my doorstep late at night (fully broken).
Just wishing for this night to get over.
Waiting for the wounds to heal over.
Watching for the rising sun.
For I was nothing but a long con.
When it rains, it pours down on this life of mine.
I was lost and you found me,
All broken inside.
It wont be the first time that I wish she were here.
And it wont be the last time I scream and no one hears.
I wrote this a week after my best friend died.
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.
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.
Sitting here as memories flood my mind.
Trying so hard not to cry.
As I say goodbye,
To a piece of my grandfather.

That stupid green truck that lived in the jungle of my backyard is gone.
A huge piece of him that was a memorial to a man I loved.
It sat there for eight years after its owner left.
A piece of him I don’t regret.

Now all that is left is a hole,
Where it used to be.
And it stirs up the memories,
Of a man who meant so much to me.
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.
I'm the one with the scared heart,
And the weight on my shoulders.
She is the beauty queen,
With no scares to mold her.
Have you forgotten about me?
Am I just not important?
Had it been him,
You would have done it in a heartbeat.

Is it just me?
Or do I see the truth?

You do have a favorite.
You both do.
I mean little to you.

My heart,
My feelings,
My health,
And life,
Are unimportant to you.

You treat him like a king.
You serve him like a prince.
While I am left to fend for myself.

Do you even know you are breaking my heart?
Do you even care?
As I lay here dying inside,
You are somewhere upstairs.

So I’ll ask you one more time.
And you’ll say “sorry I forgot.”
But it’s too late.
I’ve already given up.

And the worst thing is,
I don’t blame you.
