The roses aren't as pretty
The sun isn't quite as high
The birds don't sing as sweet of a lullaby
The stars are a little bit faded
The clouds are just a little more gray
And it feels like things won't ever be the same

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me
I'm missing you tonight
I'll see you again sometime
For now, I'll close my eyes
And dream of heaven tonight

The beaches aren't as lovely
The sky isn't quite as blue
Still, they're sweetened by the memory of you
The rain is a little bit colder
The fire is never quite as warm
Still, it seems that heaven isn't all that far

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me
I'm missing you tonight
I'll see you again sometime
For now, I'll close my eyes
And dream of heaven tonight

I'm spending a little more time now with the things that mean a little bit more
I'm noticing the wonders of this world
I love with a little more hope now
I live with a little more peace
Cause I understand how precious life can be

Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind
Heaven got a little better the day that it took you away from me
I'm missing you tonight
I'll see you again sometime
For now, I'll close my eyes
And dream of Heaven tonight
This song I found on Youtube a while ago. I cry every time I hear this song. Gordon True's voice is mesmerizing and beautiful. This song is about a man who lost a loved one. He says that nothing will ever be the same on Earth, but Heaven got another Angel that day. He misses her, but he knows that he will see her soon. So for now, he will close his eyes and dream of heaven. Later he realizes, the world is still beautiful. He is filled with hope and peace. He now understands how precious life is.

I recited this piece a few years ago for a speech competition. Everybody in the room was in tears. Everybody has loved people who have passed on, but knowing you will see them again makes everything better. during my performance, I thought of my loved ones, and I started crying in the middle of my performance, but I finished with my head held high and mind filled with wonder. I also finished with a perfect score, but the score did not matter much to me.

My being aches for the rhythmic caress of your chest pressing solidly against mine in that most intimate of dances.

Her
I want the flames of her bright red hair to swallow her
I want the dimples on her cheeks to sink in and melt away her fake *** smile
I want her to disappear and never return.

Because at one point,
she held your heart in her hands
and in her tiny brain she stills does.

I want  karma to hit her as hard as I want to
I want every person she's wronged to put her on trial
If being an awful human being was a crime
She'd have a double life sentence

I do not hate often, but when someone is so selfish
they cannot see
cannot feel
do not care,
about another human beings personal
struggles
pain
heartache
dreams
I will not tolerate it.

You said your heart was mine
You promised beyond forever with me

And yet there you are, being her best friend
And the next day her worst enemy

All she has ever done to you is
lie
cheat
hurt
you, my love

And yet you hold some kind of twisted love for her
in the corner of your heart.

Why am I not enough huh?
Why can't my eternal devotion, immense pride, irrevocable love
deter you from the path to her
the path to hell...

You are with me and yet talking to her holds some kind of priority,
why?

I will never understand how in the beginning we were perfect
And how I never thought there would be an end.

Because of her we are broken,
without her we are stronger than diamond,
arguments cannot penetrate us
but with her, we are fragile wet tissue paper,
turning to pulp in her devious hands.

Cut the ties you have between her
Or lose me forever.

Its your choice.

I want a love so furious
that I wake up to her
kissing the wounds she
gave me last night
I want to be decorated
with hickeys
tattooed with bite marks
I want to feel what actual
love feels like.
I want to wake up to the sun rising
outlining her body, highlighting her cheeks
smiling.
I want to wake up with post traumatic stress disorder
from the night before
and the aftertaste of her still
lingering in my mouth
I don't like to make small talk
But you make it so much fun.

I don't like to travel
But I would to see you.

I don't like human contact
But I'd run up and hug you.

I don't like emotions
But when I'm with you I don't know how to feel.

I don't like people
But I really think I love you...

How do you send a text without it sounding like come back
How do you send one when the words your itching to say are
"Hey I know we haven't talked in months but it's the anniversary of your mothers death and I'm beginning to realize that this will be the first year in 4 that I'm not the one to swallow your sorrow as you cry over something you never had the chance to have"

How do you send a text without it sounding like come back when just the mere thought of him reminds you of the day he kissed you beside the train tracks and you could have sworn you'd been hit.

How do you send a text without it sounding like come back when every time you begin your fingers change the words to how long it's been since you've felt his fingers and how even your skin craves him.

How do you send a text without it sounding like come back when every text begins with "this doesn't mean come back" and ends with "but please do"
This is my first posting, don't hate ):
