Is there anything I can do
Is there anything I can say,
To help you with your grief
And make the pain go away.

I understand the pain you're in
As I'm there every day,
The grief, well it will never leave
But the pain lessens day by day.

It changes you from deep within
As you lock all emotions away,
You can't get close to any one
For fear of losing them the same way.

For me to let my feelings out
Would be more painful than I thought true,
But now I see it's the hardest thing
I could possibly have to do.

You ask me for my fantasies
You ask me for my dreams,
But all I have are nightmares
Dark thoughts that make me scream.

My stomach is rumbling my thoughts are a mess
I'm sweaty, nervous and a bit short of breath,
My throat feels so dry my legs are so weak
As if I could not stand on my own two feet.

I'm shaking all over for I'm scared to death
Of speaking to people who seem to be deaf,
I stammer and stutter the words come out wrong
I keep knocking things over so what else could go wrong.

I can't handle speaking to more than just two
So this I will ask you, please don't ask me to,
For I hate speech making that is a fact
Yes I hate speech making so I hope that that's that.

The cost of losing a child
Bears so heavily on ones heart,
It fills you full of pain and grief
And that will never part.

These feelings overwhelm you
And leave an emptiness inside,
A void that's with you constantly
And there's no where you can hide.

It starts deep down within you
And like a cancer it grows,
Until it does consume you
And there's no place left to go.

So you lock it deep within your heart
And hide behind a laugh,
And hope that no one else can see
What lies behind the facade.

There is no life left in me
So maybe I should die,
The reason is you left me
And destroyed you and I.

But something keeps me going
From deep within my soul,
And even though its painful
I'll survive within this whole.

As I look into your eyes I become lost
In all the wonder and intrigue that lies within you,
And want nothing more than to hold you close
And never have to let you go.
I can only wonder what thoughts your mind
Conceals when you look at this tired old face
Of mine and I pray that there is just a small
Spark of hope for me.
There in it's self lies a question I am unable to ask
As the answer may dash my hopes for all eternity
Or send my soul into Ecstasy for all time .
As I gaze upon your beauty my angels
I see all that life has to offer and more
That I would never conceive the chance
To have for myself.
I have loved you from the moment my eyes
First beheld you and will love you ,
Till time in it's essence exists no more.

When my eyes slowly open each morning
My thoughts are only of you,
What dreams do I dream when I'm sleeping
Sweet dreams the whole night through.

The sensuous sound of your voice
As it caresses my mind with love,
The gentle caress of your touch
Feather-soft moving down from above.

The soft flowing curves of your body
The sunlit smile on your face,
Your eyes they show my destiny
For my love you hold my fate.
