I am a makeup artist,
Hiding tears behind my masterpiece.

I can draw you smiles,
Paint you laughter,
Doodle you little dimples,
Glue glitter to your eyes.

I am a makeup artist,
don't be afraid.

I do it to myself all the time.
everything becomes
clear
when I hold you
in
my arms
A poem for my daughter.
Alternate version:

everything comes
into
clear focus
when I hold you
in
my arms
On your special day i wish you happiness
Forget all your sadness and loneliness
I may not be with you on that day
I know you'll enjoy it come what may

Let me be honest, I thought it's a fairytale
But once again it's a fail
Now that I'm gone,
I know it's sad but at least its done.
I don't want to get hurt by you
And you were just too kind to be revenge on to.
I'll try to live again without you by my side
But you will never be wash away on my mind.

Through good and bad times you were there
Even my tears and joys were share
Continue to have that helping hand
It felt so good to be on your hand
When I have bad day, you're always on your way

Thanks for the first coffee and sleep
I learned to ride even in rush a "jeep"
You came in just the perfect night
You were just so perfect in my sight

On your next next next next years
Wish you all the best and no tears
I may not see your hair anymore
Being with you can't ask no more

Lastly, a greetings of happy birthday
May God enlighten your day and way
Study hard and enjoy your parties at weekends
Continue your life as if it will never end
feeling discomfort dissipates as
I embrace instead of
pushing away

love remains as
I move forward with a
hole in my heart

moving towards
instead of running away,
and feeling feelings

I don't know how to do this,
and yet I get through the day
with a little glimmer of hope

I keep hearing the words
"This too shall pass."
so I breathe and take a step
I originally wrote the first stanza in July of 2014 and thought I would play off of something I had written: http://hellopoetry.com/poem/770780/feeling-feelings/
what we had is lost and gone,
I choose gratitude instead of bitterness.

the love we had could quickly turn into
resentment, fear and anger.

for our daughter's sake and for my own serenity,
I choose to practice love and tolerance.

I am choosing to be grateful for what we shared,
and present to the life created out of that love.

just for today, I embrace it all. the pain, joy, tears and laughter.

I mourn the loss of our marriage,
but love remains.
