I locked you away, and forgot everything.
Or so I thought.
But truthfully, it’s impossible to forget you.
You contributed so much to who I am today.
You’re the reason I fell, but also the one who helped me get back up.
I can’t forget all the moments we shared,
And how I have never felt as happy as I was with you.
I miss you…
Us.
I’m not supposed to but I can’t help it.
Everyone tells me to forget,
But what if you’re someone to remember?
I wonder if you ever think of me.
If you ever run your fingers through her hair and imagine its mine.
If you listen to that band I love and remember me.
If you see my contact name and almost call me out of habit.
Because we did have something, something magnificent.
Something so unique that I fear I’ll never have again.
And is that really worth forgetting?
Why should I forget the pain you caused if it helped me grow?
Why should I forget you pushing me down if it made me learn how to get back up on my own?
I’m finished with letting go of my memories,
I am angry and as I sit here trembling,
All I want is to remember.
But no matter how hard I try, I can’t.
Because somewhere along the way after being told to countless times,
I forgot.

This is for the one who feels alone
For the one who feels defeated
This for the one without a home
For the one who feels cheated
This is for the one who's been tossed away
The one forgotten on the sidelines
For the one yet to see the day
To surpass the others and guidelines
This one is for all of you
All the burnouts the failures the depressed
This one is for all the losers
The stupid the hopeless the oppressed.
So what?
You ******* up
So what?
You tried so hard
So what?
You
Still
Lost.

And maybe you are alone
Maybe you sit on the sidelines
Maybe you haven't had your chance
Maybe you can't see the guidelines
Maybe you're the bystander
Maybe you're the victim
Maybe you've been lied to
Maybe you've been cheated
Maybe you really Are a loser,

But you are not defeated.

In my case, everybody have a beautiful smile if they can purely smile with an open heart.

You said, forever and ever
there you were reaching for me
maybe miles apart, but it didn't matter
because you said, forever and ever ...

So much as it remains in us
is the ability to love, and your forevers
are forever, I can feel it ...

Love that has grown, it will make us one
you make me speechless, breathless
full of emotion of pure love
yes your forevers are forever ...

You are mine and I am yours
and this is our forever mores ...

Debbie Brooks 2014

When I wait for northern lights, absent is the moon
and too the sun has gone, silence of blue green lights come
like colored ghosts of whirling skies, they fly
and I no longer think of night stars
I can only dream to fly, to shine
magenta in magnetic fields

But tonight it is you
that burns across, beyond the heavens
dazzling brilliantly, now beyond this earthly plane
to join a symphony of seas and stars out there, unknown
gathering in the ethers of forever

Last night I dreamed of you
smiling, as you laid
in green fields laughing
and tonight I will see you
in the northern lights
shining

The breeze comes down the mountain
like a cool moist autumn tease
it will kiss the leaves and let them dance
and make you feel at ease

Like when the warmth from your breath
tickles on my ear
ensuing sweet nothings mean the world
I so love it when you're near

The roses which i hold so dear
have all but wandered off
except the one i give to you
her petals silky soft

I give to you my broken heart
forgive me can you fix
I have little time upon this earth
the clock it quickly ticks

I watch your lochs fall like rain
running down your back
before i die i give to you
my love on bible stack

As i breathe one last breath
your pretty eyes they smile
you kiss my lips and say "I love you"
you'll be there in a while

Remember when we'd dance for hours
in torrential rain
making love under starry skies
and never feeling shame

Now I say goodbye my love
and slowly close my eyes
thank you honey I love you too
as i die with one last smile...
