A change of roads brought her here
Took her reason for a while
Left her dreams lead the way
Thinking wishful day by day

Countless clouds, starry skies
passed her by during night
Shiny moon was her friend
When she dreamed with delight

She wondered life seeing leaves
growing back on the trees
Even naked they were bold
Fighting back through the cold

Lonely rivers were her heroes
Using sun to survive
Endless droughts could not stop them
Finding way to revive

If only humans could be like them
Crying Earth said one day
There is nothing to be afraid
When love leads the way

He met her
and all the wars
inside him grow silent.

He loved her
and that's when he realized
she's the only thing
worth the pain of
****** hands, broken bones and bruised skin.

You were my first boyfriend,
my first date,
my first kiss,
my first slow dance,
You were the first to make me feel special,
my first love,
my first heartbreak,
But you weren't the first to use me,
Degrade me,
Hurt me,
Leave me,
And you probably won't be the last,
I still think about you now and again,
But it doesn't hurt as much as it used to,
It doesn't rip my heart out anymore,
It just shakes it,
The same way I shook my head the first time you said you loved me,
I was unable to believe you felt that way,
Like my heart still isn't able to believe you would hurt me like that,
I loved you,
And you left.

That day came and passed,
As she did,
As all the others have, and will,
Having been, and gone from,
Life, as if water in a well.

There's only so much,
And only so long,
One can conjure up the could haves,
The would haves and the maybes,
And I wonder
Is this the destined fate
Adorning all our graves,
While we navigate
This maze,
And try finish what we started
As babes,
And hand down our progress so far,
And hope, that inconsistent human constant,
That they try harder
Before they fade; these, and those,
Will fade,
As will I.

We both wanted to be writers.
I'm writing my book.
I wish with all my heart
That she could write hers.
