It is a sad twist of faith
To be here in this place
Looking at pieces
That belonged to you

A weird feeling
as the moon is full
On the same day you had
made the walk down the road
                       ~Feeling the energy makes me want to cry~


As I think,

                            "What if I had been here on that day"

...Many weeks ago

Admiring the hard work
With what you had built with your time

I would of said

What my heart truly thinks

What an amazing job
You did


                                                           ­      Instead, letting time slip away
                                                                ­                             And I am here
                                                                ­       staring at the scatter pieces
                                                                ­                you had left to no one



Filling myself up with the mistakes
I should of changed
to had helped you
So one day at a time
This hurt needs to be the reason why
We change how we take people for granted
To encourage
To find time
To show love
Even to the ones you don't think need it
Is what we need to learn from

I'm over you
just like Jennifer Garner is over Ben Affleck.

If can can’t why can’t can,
I always wonder when I think about those who think they can,
Much to do with talking and nothing to do with action,
We have praised them, for we thought they can,
If can can’t why can’t can,

With little we have we have raised them to the highest mountains,
For we know we can’t, and we thought they can,
Yet they have enriched their pockets and rendered us obsolete,
If can can’t why can’t can,

They have told us we can’t and they can,
But I did be in despair for we can’t and they can’t either,
So today I ask why?
If can can’t why can’t can.

But in life politicians use us because they know we are useful and we think we are useless,
they will always use us and comfort us with lies

The ancient promise is a sacred thing.
For whoever breaks one is surely doomed.
Full of trust and ties two spirits together by a tight string.
From the consequences of breaking one, the individual is consumed.

Thats what makes them so difficult.
For a promise is an action taken when you want what others do not.
Though being a kid is far different from an adult.
You grow old, mature, and sometimes when you’re deep in thought.

Promises made years ago seem like a link to the past.
When all is lost and you need something on which to reflect.
The possibilities of promises are really vast.
A promise is something you have to protect.

I made a promise a while ago, although it may seem stupid now.
I’m the one that made that solemn vow.

Precious baby, counting sheep.
Tell me why your eyes can’t sleep?

Sweet baby..
No sheets.
This is different, not so sweet.

Darling baby, you can only laugh.
Memories they stay,
like Mary on stained glass.
