It's been 3 months ago, today
that I had to say goodbye,
Didn't think there were any tears left
but I was wrong, and here I cry;

You're in a  better place I know
and now your pain is gone,
For that I'm eternally gratefull
But How Do I Go On!

Empty words are still spoken
I find no comfort there,
and everyday i'm still looking
across to that empty chair;

O what I wouldn't give to have
that empty chair filled again,
To see that smiling face of yours
Just to remember when...

They sent a letter telling me
How I would probably feel today,
but all i know in my heart
there was so much left to say;

I want to know your light
is shining down on me,
That in my grief stricken state
even up there, you're still here with me!


Oh what I wouldn't give to have
that empty chair  filled again!
Missing you so much, Rest In Peace Mom!

I'M ALONE AGAIN
     TONIGHT
AND WHERE THE
        HELL
    ARE YOU!
Paula Lee May 2014
You came into my life
When all was lost
There was no moon,
the stars had died
and all around was darkness.

I had lost my heart, my soul
and in the black, lost my way
I couldn't see the road before me
I couldn't go, I couldn't stay


Then out of nowhere right before me
stood an Angel all aglow
Lighting the scary darkened path
and showing me the way to go

The stars came back, Heaven was lit
Behind me the moon began to rise
The path grew brighter and I could see
The Angel had opened my closed eyes

I don't know when that Angel left me
for she left as quickly as she came
but she led me from that forsaken path
and I knew my life would never be the same!
There's an Angel in my world now!
Paula Lee Aug 2014
If you need another Angel from my family....
                           Take ME!
Friends Please say a Prayer for my neice who is fighting for her life right now, I can honestly say that I can't understand why god would take my neice  while i'm still grieving for my mom?
Paula Lee Jul 2014
Aw Hell!
       I Lost My Train Of Thought!
You intrude where I don't want you.
I don't want your name to be the first
one I think of,
Or the Last when I go to sleep alone!
Paula Lee Oct 2014
She just sits there
still as a statue,
Silence fills the room
her memories run to you;

Gnarled hands in her lap
eyes filled with such pain,
Her minds retreated
She's with him again;

It happens more often now
as her eyes grow dim,
You might catch a smile
She's back dancing with him;

He's been her only love
these last 60 years,
She can't live without him
you know by her tears;

And the look on her face
says it all today,
she's biding her time
Til he comes to take her away;

Every day she's getting closer
Everyday one more prayer,
Heaven's her destination
Because her Heart is there!
Someday Love!!!
Paula Lee Jun 2014
It wasn't suppose to be this way
Me getting old-you forever young
A life taken before your time
Our lives together barely begun

This life sentence has been hard
I've stumbled along the way
Peices of my heart left on this path
Forever dying since that awful day

But now my life is near its end
once more i'll see your loving face
I will come to you with a smile
Besside you I will take my rightful place!
Paula Lee Jun 2014
Ha! Last word was mine, I Blocked Your *** *****!
I've had enough of your hateful messages and yes I know I was "played" by Ormand as you so "kindly" put it!
Paula Lee Aug 2014
Can't Think, Feel, or Write

Grief has Struck me Dumb!
Paula Lee Aug 2014
She chases the darkness,
Nothing, but darkness and her,
She sits there,
Darkness a blanket she can wear,
And she listens to the nothingness
that only the darkness allows;

And if she was still aware,
I'm sure she would get down on her knees
and Thank the darkness for the
Silence,
The Blessed Silence
that cocoons her now;

and when daylight comes,
she runs and hides,
hiding from the light that burns,
hiding from the pain and hiding
from the voices, the voices to loud,
and she waits for the sunset,
Eager to be spared.
then she's running again,
into the darkness,
back to the Nothingness
that the darkness allows.*

And if she was still aware,
I'm sure she would get down on her knees,
and Thank the darkness
for the Silence,
The Blessed silence
that cocoons her now.
Paula Lee Jul 2014
You've been gone 43 years today
The little girl in me still cries
Just like it was yesterday it seems
They came to tell me you had died

I shut my memories down, closed tight
Built the walls to protect my heart
I remember nothing of childhood
Not one memory to impart,

The Child inside will cry for you
For Memories lost to this day
Years ago the Slate wiped clean
My Mind still greives, I say

But known, I was loved by you
So on this day, my heart replies
I miss you so **** much daddy
Your child sits here alone and cries!
Paula Lee Jul 2014
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Call this assurance if you must;
But when it's time to say Farewell
To one you love, it's just plain hell.

There are no words, no healing balm,
To fill the void, to ease the calm;
And not a thing that one can say
Will drive the quick hot tears away.

We look upon the empty chair
And seek the one no longer there;
And so heartbreaking is the pain
We question if we'll meet again.

How grim indeed, if death should be
The Bitter End--- Eternity;
Just some vague dream conceived by Man
And not a part of any plan.

But God has taken such great care
To note the sparrow in the air;
His Love alone can cover all
And Mark a simple Sparrows' fall.

And if he cares for the birds that fly,
then he must hear My Anguished cry;
"Dear God, I yield my grief to Thee
For Thou alone can comfort me."
To Everyone who is struggling with Grief
Paula Lee Jun 2014
You've taken every Dream i've had
Laid waste to every plan
cruely taken all i've Loved.
Left me in this Godforsaken land,

When I called out in the night
while in hot writhing agony
with a troubled heart unconsoled
Why did you not answerer me?

When I begged you take this pain
from my aching breast
I felt the arrow through my heart
Blood pouring from my chest,

I Prayed to you a thousand times
and pled a million more
Why leave these fiery beasts
Banging,busting down my door?

You left me in the dark
with Demons and no control
I couldn't help but think at last
this my death bell toll.

You left my life to Satan
when I did but beg release
and like a fool I still Prayed
for my Soul--Abiding Peace

You left my prayers unanswered
night after night- No Reply
What did I ever do to you
That even my death you would deny,

As silent tears run down my cheeks
I will Pray to you No More!
I realize you have Forsaken me
and left Demons at my door.
Yes I Believe in God! Just a stage of Grief, not sure which one Take Your Pick!

There
        Is
       No
   Dignity
        In
    Dying
        It
        Is
       An
   Illusion
Mom wanted to die at home with Dignity But I've found out there is no Dignity in the dying process. What Her and I are going through is not dignified!
Paula Lee May 2014
I'm the only person I know
who can destroy everyone
I come into contact with

So don't love me!

With my best intentions
I manage to bring pain
to my friends and come
between them

Don't love me!

With tears of pain
and of sorrow I beg you

Don't love me!

I am unlovable

Don't love me!
Paula Lee May 2014

What did I just say.......
I'll Regret This In The Morning!!!!!
Paula Lee Jun 2014
I came down to the country
to commune with Nature for a while
to try to find myself again
hopefully find my lost smile

Got lost along the way somehow
suffering from so much pain
I hope on this hundred acres
I can find myself again

Dawn is just now breaking
the leaves rustling on the trees
a soft warm wind is blowing
I find myself start to ease

I 4 -wheel to the river
just to sit and watch it flow
letting it float my cares away
sending them off and away they go.

it's time to continue on my ride
trails are calling out "Come See"
while I ride i'm going to search
for the Peace that has alluded me.

I'll know the spot when I feel it
it will speak to my heart of Peace
and I'll reside there for a time
letting that Peace wash all over me!
I went to a Place Called THE ROCK and roamed a hundred acres.
No tv no computers and I found my Peace for a while.

How did thou waste on one thy soul should scorn
One that hurt thee and mock'd the morn
Lay thy head against my breast,
There I'll lay thee down to rest
Rest from thy world- siren that lure thee to ill
Work with a strong heart and determined will
Bravely fling thy cold chain that hath bound thee
For some good, be it ever so slowly.

Be thou content, as I, to know not see
To feel thy spirit, I would take
Tunes aerial beauty for thy sake
Alas! float into thy soul, so I could see
How to become All melody to thee
Til musics' soul, walked by thy touch, to wing
and mingling with mine would soar and sing
How mine thoughts like singing birds flutter and fly
with a song for thine ear, and a gleam for thine eye.

Love compels me to thy heart against my will
To echo from thy voice, come to me still
Thou to sing loves lullaby to me
Warm heart in thy dwelling, beat kindly for me
So passionately wild this thirst in me
To be all beauty and all grace to thee
My faintest blush, at thoughts of thee a crime
I count in vain the slow dull steps of time,

Careful thee, Lest thy wound a soul so rare
My heart to thee, Please have a care
Smiles can surer wound or heal
than the stars, whose light they steal
In voiceless rapture on thy manly breast
Could thou be lull'd by sweet untroubled rest?
I only greive, because---because---I see
Thou find'st not All thy great demands of me.
Mine a heart that Love Too tenderly and truly
Will break at last, thou prized me unduly
Though missed the beauty, Rare and Dear
Alone thou are, Alone I am, but forever Near!!!
For You!
Paula Lee Aug 2014
You took two stars,
that burned so bright
and crushed them in your hands,
and though you won't miss just two,
to me you left a huge hole
that I can't even begin
to understand.

If this has been some kind of test
then I know I have failed,
How far down can you send me
when I'm already in Hell?

And God I'm asking point blank,
What is this divine plan you have devised?
that you can take so much from me
in so little amount of time.

This lone sparrow has fallen
and I've hit the hard ground,
Where was your hand then Lord?
your love and mercy,
I have not found.

How can I be thankful
for the little things you give,
When you take the big things from me?
You have left me blind and broken,
You took my beautiful stars,
left me unable to see.

I gave my all to you, my everything
Now, there's nothing left at all
You Lost one of your sparrows
When You Let Me Fall!
Losing my mom and then my neice today is to much!
Paula Lee Aug 2014

I sit here in this house of yours and the silence is like a roar
I sit at your table and across from me is your empty chair
Theres a ghost in this house of yours tonight
I keep turning around but your'e not anywhere

I walk down the hall and stand in your bedroom door
All I see is your empty bed sitting there
The window shade is pulled all the way down
I try to breathe but my god there's no air

I turn the television on just to make some noise
but of course there's a Reds game on the air
There's a ghost walking the house tonight
And I pray to God one last time that it's you walking there.
I buried you today and I miss you tonight!

I know you were smiling down from Heaven
as  we had your Memorial Service Yesterday,
I know you were watching as we gathered in your name
Each of us sharing our favorite memories we had of you.
There wasn't a dry eye to be found
as we each mourned the loss of you in our own way.

GONE FROM OUR LIVES TO SOON

I will remember you in the rising sun and its going down,
I will remeber you with each snowflake that gently
swirls to the ground,
And I will remember you, your soft spoken voice
The most beautiful sound.

GONE FROM OUR LIVES TOO SOON

No one can ever steal the beauty of you,
the love you brought to our lives,
Your Spirit Soars today with the Angels
but the memories will always survive,
My blood and yours forever intwined.

*GONE FROM OUR LIVES TOO SOON

You have been my ROCK OF AGES
And you treated me with such AMAZING GRACE
you loved me JUST AS I AM
And you told me MINE EYES HAVE SEEN THE GLORY

But GOD took you away so
GO REST HIGH ON THAT MOUNTAIN
Now I'm IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL
BUT I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!!
God How I Miss You!!!

I opened my door to Grief this morning, he shoved me aside and walked to a chair sat down and said" Here Goes, this may take awhile"
"There are five Stages of Grief" he mumbled,
"Today you are in Stage 1, but tomorrow could be Stage 5 and a month from now, you may pass into Stage 2. Stages 3& 4 could happen together a year from now."
He looked up to me and said"Are you confused yet, that could be any Stage"
Through my tears, he calmly rose and went out my door, turned for one last look at me and said" I'm Stage 6 but I come 1st"
In Anger I slammed the door and wondered to myself,
is Anger Stage 4,2,5,3 or1.
I fell to the floor screaming" Why in Hell didn't anyone ever tell me about Stage 6"
There are only 5 stages of grief and they're a *****!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you're confused guess what I am?

Today, you turn 17
Guess what that means?
I get to razz you all day long,
Singing Happy Birthday songs.

Balloons released to the sky,
Just for you, my dearest Sye,
Birthday cheer, Well wishes to,
And all my Love, I send to you.

You will always be my little girl,
Grown up now, to face the world.
Happy Birthday! Daughter dear,
As you celebrate another year!

And as you blow those candles out,
Know that without a doubt,
A Mothers' Love is always there,
We've wrapped your heart with loving care.

Pretty pink and silver bows,
For the Most, Loving Soul,
I wish for you, my dearest Friend,
Angel Kisses, Heaven sent!

You were Always, Just a Dream!

Mind and Heart, Intertwined,
a heart who would not listen,

SO HERE I STAND

Heart wide open,
Loving You!
Feeling the Rejection...

AND NOW HERE I LIE

On a bed of Ashen Feathers,
your penned words Tattoo'd
across my heart,

AND HERE I DIE

On bended knees
and Agony,
Drowning,  In The Ink,
that was penned for her by Thee!
Hey

Hey
It's not the Lack of Love, that hurts right now,

It is your ANGER!

You tell me you died

**Think about it!
Paula Lee May 2014
I SIT HERE NIGHT AFTER NIGHT
JUST LISTENING TO YOUR BREATHING
AND WHEN YOUR HEART PAUSES
MY HEART DIES A LITTLE WITH YOURS

WILL THIS BE YOUR LAST?

I FEEL LIKE I'M FREE FALLING
NO NET TO CATCH ME
AND WHEN YOU TAKE THAT NEXT BREATH,
I FEEL GUILTY FOR WANTING IT TO BE
OVER SO YOU WON'T SUFFER ANYMORE


WHAT A HORRIBLE DAUGHTER
        I HAVE BECOME!

      YOUR HEART PAUSES...
WILL THIS BE YOUR LAST?
Paula Lee Aug 2014
How will I get to Heaven
            I'm afraid of heights!
I really am afraid of heights!
"I"
Paula Lee Jun 2014
"I"
You may not like my writing
well I don't give a ****
"Subpar" Oh Well!
That's just who I am

I must have scared you bad "I"
you blocked I real quick
I had "I" turning tail
"I" couldn't match my wit

Poor poor "I" run and hide
Be lonely with all your 0's
"I" couldn't quite make the cut
"I"s lost among the heroes

"I" couldn't take the fire
Did the kitchen get too hot?
Go cry over "I"s masterpieces
Sob for all "I's" NOT!!!
Just a thought running through my head
The Chicken blocked me!
ooh I must be scary!
Paula Lee Apr 2014
I couldn't find you anywhere so I got out my Dictionary
and I looked under VICIOUS.CRUEL and INHUMANE
They sounded like you but your name wasn't there. So
I thought I'd look up THIEF, ABSCONDER and *******
They also sounded like you but again your name wasn't there,
So then I checked under PHYSCOPATH  AND MURDERER
these fit you better but I still couldn't find your name.

I panicked and got really worried then so I had a conversation
with GOD and I asked him please would he look in his book,
THE BOOK OF LIFE and see if he could find your name there

LO AND BEHOLD YOUR NAME ISN'T THERE
"MAY THERE BE NO MERCY ON YOUR SOUL!"

Just when I was putting my Dictionary away
GOD yelled out "FORGIVENESS"
So I look up forgiveness and GUESS WHAT!

"MY NAME IS NOT THERE!"

Maybe I should have looked up
THE DEFINITION OF DEFINITION
THIS IS FOR LEO
Paula Lee Aug 2014
You might have loved me
If you had known me,
If you had ever known my mind,
If you would have walked
through my Dreams and Memories,
Who knows what Treasures
you might have found.

Yes, you might have loved me
If you had known me.
If you had only
Taken the time.
Paula Lee Apr 2014
I knew a man with a heart of gold
and sunshine on his face
A loving husband and a father
that put others in first place,

I knew a man who was pure of heart
with faith that pulled him through
all the trials of his life
and he never asked his due,

I knew a man who found such joy
in just the little things
a man who saw with loving eyes
and loved church bell rings,

I knew a man with gentle ways
who was wise beyond his years
a man who raised his children well
and wiped away their tears,

I knew this man,I called him  Dad
He was kind in every way
He always stood tall and strong
and now he walks with God today.
I wrote this about my Dad a long time ago I've never shared it with another soul.
Paula Lee May 2014
I am done! Death can not come quick enough now!
Paula Lee Apr 2014
When you wake
I hold your hand
tell you everythings okay

IT'S NOT I'M LYING!

You lokuo at me
with drug glazed eyes
and ask "what's wrong"
I say "nothing"

I'M LYING

You sit up for
just a moment
Tell me your'e
Writing a letter to GOD
I tell you the Angels comming!

YOU SAY NO YOUR'E LYING!
Paula Lee Apr 2014
I ALMOST LOST YOU TODAY
ONE MOMENT YOU WERE HERE
WHERE I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU'D BE
THEN YOU STOPPED BREATHING.

MY WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
IN JUST A HEARTBEAT OF TIME
IN PANIC I DID WHAT I HAD TO DO
I JUST CAN'T TAKE YOUR LEAVING.

I THOUGHT I WAS RESIGNED
THAT MY HEART COULD LET GO
BUT NO I'M NOT READY YET
YOU'RE PART OF MY SOUL.
My Mother is dying and she stopped breathing today. She has decided to die at home BUT GOD I'M NOT READY!
Paula Lee Jul 2014
First thing this morning
I broke my pen,
Spilled my ink all over my pretty white paper,
left with nothing but inkblots,
maybe the Mental Health people can use them?
Ignore this one!
Paula Lee Aug 2014
It hurts
To see you walk away
for admit it or not,
you were an important part of my life;
And the time we shared
will forever be a part of me,
So even though I realize
it was never meant to be
Still
It hurts

And so it is
that now I've learned
It's possible to laugh
with a lump in my throat,
and tears can be hidden,
If I really try!
Paula Lee Jun 2014
You tiptoe through my Heart
                 Your Soul leaving footprints behind!!!
For you Sparrow!!!
Paula Lee May 2014
I thought if I drove hundreds of miles
that I could escape you
but when I stopped driving and got out
of my car;
I realized I was still under the starlit sky
that we made wishes on
The same blue moon we used to slow
dance under
and next to me was the  same kind of
tree, the weeping willow that we made
Love under.

I got so disgusted I drove home all the while
Realizing your'e like a stalker
Invading my personal space
******* my every move
Preying on my already fractured mind
and that's when I knew that no matter
what I did
You had captured my heart and soul
and no matter how many miles I drove

You were the Jailer of my memories
and you would never set me free!
