Like Father Like daughter.
But she did not like her mother,

Nor did her father.
Nonetheless they had each other.

To her, he was her only friend,
Because he tried to make her days
a little more better.

On weekends she would be released from jail,
He was always the reason behind her bail.

Finally enjoying the taste of freedom,
Smiling and overjoyed, the pain was numbed.

Driving around in that small town,
Surviving from being bound down.

Those only moments she was ever happy,
Mostly Broken inside she wanted to flee.

Though little did she know,

That's how he felt also...
I miss you dad... Thank-you for everything.

I will always remember the first day, we talked.
I will always remember the first sight.
I will always remember the first kiss.
I will always remember the first night.
I will always remember the first dispute.

I will always remember, because you remember me always.
As always for my love. ♥
I'm happy. Everyday.

My eyes are never dry
My head never clear
My stomach churns daily
My mind’s numbed by fears

I’m sorry I’m distant, disturbed
And distracted
I’m sorry I’m silent, saddened
And secluded

I want to be better
I want to be well
I want to go one day
Without facing Hell

I want to make memories
Not dwell in my mind
I want to escape this
I want out of this bind

I keep saying sorry
When I know I should stop
I mean to say thank you
For sticking, for staying,
Not letting me drop.

I've run from you too many times to count
But I have never escaped
Because you are always in my heart
and that is a place I cannot break free from.

when i met you
i judged you
and for that
i'm sorry
it was wrong of me
because God made you special
you bring me joy
you share jokes
you give me moments
of freedom
when we talk
i feel free
free from the pain i've felt
free from the twisted sadness
i want to be close friends
i know this is just the beginning
but i really care about you
i enjoy my time with you
and how much we have in common
i'm so thankful that i met you
you're such a sweet person
i hope you think the same about me
because right now
you're the only good thing in my life
you're the only person that makes me smile
i find myself wanting to talk to you more and more
thank you for waking up my soul
thank you for giving me something to look forward to
thank you for being my new friend

No matter how hard I try
I will never be able to express my feelings and gratitude
I have for you
You left a mark the size of a teardrop
hidden within my one-of-a-kind mind
I can't describe what its purpose is
but it has the tendency to relinquish the aura of you
at the times I need it the most
and I could sit here
and write words a pound words trying to unravel this phenomenon
but instead
I found out the best types of feelings are the ones
you can't understand
regardless of how hard you try
I miss you.
and I know we whispered it before behind closed doors
but I try to ease this repetitive beat
that won' let up but only increase in hunger every time
the image of your smile
creeps into my thoughts...Yet I can't make it stop
It's the nostalgia numbness you get that
radiated throughout your whole body when
death dares you to loosen your grip from your fingertips
The waking up from a dream and being disappointed
that you can't steal the part that you feel is a representation
of your destiny with you.
It's going on a trip and forgetting you camera
your only option is to be stuck capturing moments
in you mind
but will never be able to conceal them on the wall
yes we can carry on but every once in a while
you know something is missing
but you can't quite put your finger on it.
You were more than just a listening ear
I could turn to
You provided me a safe reassurance that I'm not alone
and you accepted every aspect of me
every little flaw, mistake, and accomplishment
and I'm sorry you had to be the right person
at the wrong time.
But this isn't about wanting you back
it's an emotional bond I never had
with anyone else
and I'm glad I found someone
I could share it with

i don’t know how it could be?
that now you are here for me
you're always there to cheer me up
when i feel like i'm about to pop
how could i love you more?
more than you're asking for
i wish i could do the same
embracing you when the rain came
loving you with all of my heart
like no one can break us apart…
so much joy today,
my heart within wee birds
flutters and swings in winds,
this day is so brilliant!

deep within my heart birds sing

so much light today,
sun has painted me golden,
my heart out beats of redden,
this day is so brilliant!

artful sun has painted me golden

even the seas today,
touch skies in crested waves
with my heart sailing in breeze,
this day is so brilliant!

*waves of sea hug skies with me
A love so true,
Is not something you simply find.
It’s a love like no other,
Something that can only be shown by the love of your mother.
Something so pure,
Something so clear.
Its a love you cannot live without,
because it’s so sincere.
You grow up.
Before you walk you learn to crawl;
There she was the entire time, hoping you would not fall.
You threw tantrums and said i hate you,
But there was never a point where she would lose faith in you.
You said “i quit, i can’t continue”
But your mother knew,
it was another faze that you would learn to live through.
You will fall and you will rise,
Sometimes you’ll love your life and other days you’ll want to die.
What will never change is who will be there for you,
It will sometimes be your friends,
But it will always be your mother whom you hold so dear and true.
With fewer words,
I’m trying to say,
Thank you for all you have done for me.
I thank God for you every single night and day.
