Who am I kidding! I know that I can't write the words,
I think I can; and I put them together
But I know that they are nothing
They mean; nothing.

What was I thinking of,
Why did I think I should
To me words are meaningless
I am a failure to ever think I could.

This is not what I am meant to be doing,
All my life I failed in the things that I try to do
So this is just one more failure
Add this to my list along side you.

What am I?
What is my purpose in this sad and lonely place?
Did I ever have all that I wanted
Yes I did! the moment I saw your face.

Living in the confines of my head
There is one thing that invades my mind
That is; the thought of you
Is it so tragic that i still love you "but you no longer love me"
What went wrong?
Trying to work things out in my mind
Makes my head ache with the negative thoughts
Of what i have lost

I was stupid! for a short time
Didn't know what i had done
But! it has all flooded back to me
I was wrong to betray you
I couldn't think! so confused
But it's clear now in my mind
All the hurt and the pain
Clear now of the meds
That lingered in my brain

I will go now! my love
I will go and leave you in peace
So sorry; for the sad life i gave you
But now i am sorted and OK
So i will say goodbye my son
Don't cry when i am gone
Just read the note i have left you
And know my spirit lives on.

So sick of listening,
To the sound of my own tears.
I try to hide my emotions from the world,
But i cant hide them from you.

Every now and then,
I try just a little bit harder.
But it doesn't heal the pain of knowing,
You don't see me that way.

As my night tears start to form,
The morning dew on the ground.
And the flowers fill the air with fragrances,
That fills my head with the scent of you.

My troubled heart,
Is still in the dark of my sorrow.
You only choose me when you are hurting,
Why don't you see me, hold me, chose me.

But you don't see my saddened eyes,
Blurring with tears.
As again my heart becomes shattered,
Into thousands of little pieces.

Being consumed by darkness,
Loosing all hope.
Of your arms to hold me together,
I once again fade into the shadows.

I see you In the arms of another,
And my heart is broken once more.
Will I just be the best friend for ever,
Just the girl from next door.

My loving Child "I miss you"
Every second you are gone I cry.
With endless love I left you sleeping,
The day we said goodbye.

As your eyes closed for the last time,
You took with you half of my heart.
One day we will be together,
As it was from the start.

Until the day I join you,
And once again we are side by side.
My loving child I will miss you,
Every second you are gone "I will cry".

Sheila.

They sit around the tall fire
their only source of light
beating on their tribal drums
foretelling of their life.

The old ones tell of bravery
of legends far and wide
of the battles they have witnessed
where they stood their ground with pride.

Each take a turn to tell their storeys
and to teach their sons to fight
but also to love each other
a staple part of life.

The cold winds blow across the plains
time for winter camp among the trees
They move around from place to place
so their families do not freeze.

They sing about their ancestors
about there journeys to the spirit land
where they hope one day to join them
and walk hand in hand.

Ignore those who would ignore you,
tell them you are to busy when they phone.
Be the user not the used,
the one they walk all over and abuse.

Be strong when they call you selfish,
don't give in when they ask you for your time.
Pretend you are out, when they call,
and remove your coat from the hall.

Your children take you for granted,
just expect you to be there for them.
steel your life back and take a bow,
just tell them! it's your time now..

As we meet in love tonight;
Sweetest harmony will be ours.
Ever faithful to one another,
As we pass these happy hours.

Our hearts as one are pure,
And white as driven snow.
The more we think of each other,
The more our love will grow.

In purity of mind,
In his heart there is me.
Turn your thoughts into love,
when he talks in accents sweet.

Feathered wings bring my favorite hour,
With a rising event of life, It is now clear.
The seed of life now planted,
Each blessing to my lips more dear.
