I will hold onto you
because you bring a certain light
to the world
that I don't think
can be found anywhere else.
And with a light
that makes even the brightest
of suns envious,
it'd be a shame to do anything
but hold on.

-k.w//Hold On

This is not goodbye - but ‘see you soon’
You left us one dark afternoon
Our time’s run out but then again
I wouldn’t change a single thing.

The laughs we had, the happy times
The years of banter, jokes and rhymes.
Those special moments when we knew
We were meant to be, our love was true.

A man of few words but a massive heart
Dignified, loyal and fun from the start
With your ‘Sid James’ laugh and mother-in-law jokes
(Luckily these were saved for the blokes).

Husband, brother, father, grandad and son
You were loved so much by everyone
I’m so grateful for the years that we had together
The memories, laughter. I will love you forever

There’s a hole left behind in my life but I know
You’re no longer in pain and I must let you go
Just remember that I love you to the moon
This is not goodbye - but just ‘see you soon’

For some...
Love is finding peace.
Love is finding joy.
Love is finding happiness.
However, love for me it's a different story.
Love is the reason why I became a murderer.

[laughing] I remember it was on a Saturday,not quite sure of the time but what I remember is that it was that Saturday we were suppose to go out but he cancelled our plans.He told me that his parents came over to spend a night with him.You know this was a bit strange, normally when his parents come over they always invite me but then besides that it didn't make sense, like it didn't make sense at all, just last night he told me that his parents went on some business trip in America.

I was trying to make sense of this, so I texted him, he read my message and didn't reply,I called him, he hanged up, that's when I knew that something was going on.I got in my car, went straight to his apartment and when I got there,I saw a car I could recognise, for a moment i stopped and prayed.I stormed to the house. Because I got the keys I opened without knocking and that's when I saw them,I mean him and that girl he said is not his type, cuddling on a couch. I couldn't think,I couldn't think straight,I couldn't believe what my eye were seeing.I took a knife and started stabbing him,he screamed telling me that he can explain I didn't care less I continued stabbing him up until I saw him down on the floor, the floor was full of blood,he was drowning in his own blood and I was drowning in my own tears. I stood there next to him,asking myself how can I do such a thing to a person that I love that's when I took my phone called the ambulance and the cops.

Love is the reason I am going to spend the rest of my life in prison

You cant save my life
I am drawn
drawn in my own pain

You cant make me happy
I am covered
Covered with my own grief

You cant read me
I am written in the paper
damped by my own tears

Looking into my own eyes
I see what others try not to see

Others just see a beautiful face
And by the way I carry myself and dress
They assume I grew up in a wealthy home

Noooooo
Look deeper
I've been through life
(Days with no food, Molestation, Kidnapped, Beatings, Hardworking, and etc)
I just chose not to let it eat away at me

This girl (Me) has cried so many tears
And has worn this huge rock on her shoulders for so long she knows God has something so precious for her at thee end

Looking into my eyes
I am a strong woman
