1 love; that's ours
Oh how I cherish it

2 hearts; that beat in sync
You really are my soul mate

3 people; when it stopped being tango
Why did you bring her in?

4 minutes, of break up drama
I love you too much to argue with you

5 hours; to pack and leave
A sad departure

6 days; to come to terms with it
How could you?

7 weeks; hoping you'd come for me
But you never did

8 months, all the hope is gone
Except a small flicker

9 years; exactly our daughter's age
You never came to see her

10 decades; how a day without you feels
God I feel so old

11 times, I see you and hide
I look like I've been to hell and back

12 thousands; got her out of the picture
Yes...she values money more than you

13 photos of you and her; cut to shreds
But still they haunt me in my sleep

14 miles; cut to zero once again
I'm glad to have you back

15 songs; I dedicate to you my love
You are my one and only obsession
sometimes the people we love hurt us but we always go back there, for love

I've got a new best friend
Evidently she lived a life of sin
I wrote a poem of a former venture she was on
It turned into her first day at the nursing home
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today she was sad and lost
She had misplaced her purse
Let go of her life at such a cost
~~~~~~~~~~~
She was wandering round
Asking the nurses and administrators for help
In a state of panic, searching for the lost-n-found.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I took her to the cafeteria

Where we were doing crafts
Hoping I could change the channel of her mind
Panic would pass
~~~~~~~
She told me of the hardships she has lived thru
How she resided in her car for years
Now it was wrecked and she had
No one to live with she knew
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She told me her plan was to leave this hotel
Right before dark
Sneak back in and sleep in a closet
As quiet as a lark
~~~~~~~~
I told her I happen to know
The manager of this hotel
They'll give you a room if
You'll be part of the show
~~~~~~~~~~~~
You should have seen the smile on her face
Oh Yes, she is
A woman of grace
~~~~~~~~~
She told me Thanks
My name is June
I told her she is my new best friend
I will come see you soon
Then I wheeled her in chair to her room
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2/27/2015~ Today I found out June is now in a four star hotel called heaven. I sure will miss you June~~~~~~~~~~
Alzheimer's can be scary and happy in just a blink of an eye.

She cries late
                  every night
     Turns off all the
                           lights
         Sits in bed
bawls
             her eyes out
      in the dark
Cutting out pieces
      of her heart
No one can see
                          the scars
           of her sewing
back up her chest
       Soon she will be
             an empty shell
        Hopefully
                    putting her soul to rest
If her heart
                    is no longer there
It can't get broken,
              right?
If no one can see
                          the tears
Then she never cried,
                     right?

It’s 1:09 in the morning. I can’t sleep, haven’t been able to in months.
Now it’s 1:10 in the morning, I’ve been trying to put my thoughts together.
I wrote a song about you today, I say that like it’s not the millionth one.
When I hear your name I have flashbacks of your smile, and your eyes.
Those eyes tell a story, one even the greatest of storytellers couldn’t portray.
But I know it all by heart, well what I have left of my heart.
However, you’re not to blame for the broken heart.
I blame myself and my late realization that you were the one holding me together.
It’s been 1 year, and 5 months since we ended things.
I fear the pain has only gotten worse.
Two parts of me died when you left, an evil, never satisfied with what I have part, and the part of me my mother misses most.
If I could explain what I mean by that I would, but it seems to me it’s more than any of us may ever comprehend.
It’s 1:21 now. It’s been 1 year, 5 months and 12 minutes since I started writing this.
If only I could find the words to say.
Your mother never really liked me, then again I gave her reasons not to.
My mother still loves you, then again you gave her every reason to.
I think about you more than I should. I can’t help it, you’re everywhere.
You’re the sun when it shines down just right, you’re the flowery smell in the breeze.
You’re the quiet girl in the hallway with her headphones in.
You’re the girl singing in my gym class.
At least I see you in the things they do, but they aren’t you.
Nobody ever will be.
Sometimes we talk, I don’t know if that kills me or keeps me alive.
I look at your pictures every day.
There’s 22 I’m too afraid to delete on my phone because i’m sure you’ve deleted yours and I don’t want them gone forever.
I can describe them all in detail.
Sometimes I interlock my fingers and squeeze them together like we did to each other when we held hands.
That sounds absolutely pathetic. But none the less I still do it.
My friends told me I talk about you in my sleep.
I dream about you often, 50% of the time I’m awake when I do.
I still text you names of songs that remind me of you or that I think you would like.
Most of those songs make me cry.
That also sounds pathetic.
It’s 1:45 in the morning, I still can’t sleep.
Now I have been writing this for 1 year, 5 months and 36 minutes.
I don’t think I’ll ever be finished.
I still love you.

Can you ever stop
doing what
you do?

Making me smile-
replacing my
blue.

Making the stars swirl-
even if they don't
want to.

Making my heart
scream the name that
belongs to you.

Loving you was the
hardest choice to
make.

Even though I knew
my heart was to
break.

And even after all those times
convincing myself that
my love you wouldn't take,

*I can never stop.
Inspired from one friend's situation. #Leaf

Skating on thin ice
Everything I say seems to make you hate me more
That’s not how it’s supposed to be
I whispered in your ear and you accused me of screaming

Dear husband,
Who is supposed to love me when you don’t?
Who am I supposed to impress when I can’t  even arouse your curiosity
Wasn't it only yesterday when I was the object of your interest?
Or wait maybe it was just lust and now years of child bearing have diminished my worth?

Dear husband,
What about those promises made under the stars?
Or the five children that we had in less than 10 years?
Or the bruises I hid every time you hit me and I didn't tell a soul?
What about them my love?

Dear husband,
Yesterday I put on the dress that you used to like,
You said I look like a *****,
I tried another one and you called me an old hag
What changed my love?

Dear husband
Don’t say I never loved you,
But today I'm going to file for a divorce
I'm not ashamed, I'm not a failure
I'm just a woman standing up for herself!
men, lets love our women even when age catches up with them....
