I cannot be bought.
You have tried your very best.
My soul not for sale.
Only because he's been caught.
The devil then tries to bail.

You are always there,
when I need a hand to hold.
When I am at my wits end.
When I'm shaking from the cold.
You love the person I am.
I love the same thing about you.
We were once two strangers.
We met out of the blue.
We've been through it all.
Through the good times and the pain.
You're a rose among the weeds.
My shelter from the rain.
I will say I love you.
And that comes right from the heart.
I will swear it In my vows.
Our journey then will start.

Careful with my heart.
It has been battered and bruised,
denied and refused.
I will fire a warning shot,
just to protect what I've got.

Where do you run to.
When you don't hear I'm sorry,
as he breaks your heart.

They look right through me.
With a look of true contempt.
I blow a kiss back.

Life can hurt so much.
Pain is etched into your heart,
by your acid tears.

I write from the heart.
Inner feelings I mix well,
with the tears that start.

Life can feel brand new.
When you brush aside the past,
today Will call to you.

Lifes not lived in vain.
Not while you have empathy,
for your fellow man.

Dogs welcome you home.
You could be gone just minutes,
feels like days to them.

Life looking through glass
Everything is crystal clear,
just out of your reach.

Living on the edge.
Nothing below to save me,
from that tempting ledge.

There's no manual.
For how we should live our lives.
In every language.

That fleeting sadness,
it does seem to come and go.
Tames the tears that flow.

Dread dismantled hope.
Left in tears hope shrank from life,
lived to tell the tale.

I hope that you know.
I am always here for you,
though it may not show.
If you should grow out of me,
with love I will let you go.

What is love made of?
It's who you hold close at night,
thanking God above.

I would never lie.
You will be my dearest friend,
till the day I die.
We share a mutual trust.
It's one I'll never deny.

Then you never knew.
Just how much in love I was.
How my feelings grew.
You're a candle in the dark.
The sun when the day is new.

Unconditional
That's his love for me.
He loves to go on long walks.
Chasing squirrels up a tree.
He loves his treats that come in the mail.
He jumps for joy every time.
He loves the butterflies in the garden.
There's a hill he loves to climb.
In short, he's my best friend.
He brings out the best in me.
He's there when I need a shoulder.
A greater love there can't be.

Your condescension,
with a twist of sarcasm,
doesn't get past me.
Take your opinions elsewhere,
I can't spare the time.

It's the obvious.
Simplicity is brilliance.
Needed for success.

Trees are sentinels.
Watching over all nature.
Giving birds a home.

Like memory foam
Hope conforms, fits to your will
Each case different.

Courtesy, a skill
You don't use it you lose it.
It's like a muscle.

Dreams do not come true,
when we're looking for them to.
They like to surprise.

Don't know all that much.
But do know loving yous wrong,
don't care to be right.

In the lions roar.
You hear the Serengeti.
Hyenas laughter.
A symphony of wildlife.
Hippos put in their two cents.

Calandar tells time.
but that is for the long term.
Hands of time are tied.

People can forgive.
If you can forgive yourself.
For your past mistakes.

No more years to steal.
We were desperate to feel.
Love was never real.

Memories don't die.
They're just caught in yesterday.
They're reborn today.

You're the remedy.
When my heart is growing pale.
From the lack of love.

You tell me goodbye.
While you're draped in broken hearts,
that will never die

You my friend heal me.
When love feels transactional,
when "checks in the mail".

We will be okay.
Our breakup, amicable
We both found lost loves.

You gave me side eye.
As we passed in the hallway.
As if to ghost me.

With spite in my heart.
I have won at breaking yours.
We're even Steven.

Time to say goodbye.
Hard to look you in the eye.
We have lived a lie.

I needed you so.
Instead you go out with friends.
Told me to chill out.

Thought you were my friend.
You laugh and cry without me,
have no ear to lend.

You said I love you.
Which canceled my lonliness,
made room for two.

We've become strangers.
We were once compatriots
In a foreign world.

Jesus on Facebook
Is given millions of likes.
Trounced resurrection.

The world keeps turning.
Even as your hearts breaking.
No stops to get off.

Calandar pages,
turn as the seasons change.
May, December love.

Pen says to paper.
While you lie there Ike a rug,
I pour my heart out.

I can feel my heart.
Feels like you have shaken me,
stirred up old feelings.

Words cannot translate
All the gratitude I feel,
written on my face

Foresight comes and goes
But when I see your dear face,
It's in my future.
