Imagine this,
If you will,
Tall green grass
And rolling hills.

Flowers growing wild
And birds flying free.
Clouds rolling by,
What a sight to see.

A peaceful meadow
So quiet and serene.
Words can barely describe
This breathtaking scene.

This is my escape.

Imagine this,
If you will,
Soft white snow
On your windowsill.

The sun glimmering brightly
On the fresh fallen snow,
From the top of the mountain
To the valley far below.

A majestic image
So beautiful and serene.
Words can barely describe
This breathtaking scene.

This is my escape.

Imagine this,
If you will,
Me in your arms
As time stands still.

Nothing else exists
As I lie here in your arms.
I’m scared of nothing
For I know I’m safe from harm.


My ideal moment,
So perfect and serene.
Words can barely describe
What you mean to me.

You are my escape.

Do you remember
Holding my hand
And kissing my cheek
The first night we met?

Remember the rain
That canceled the game
And me not wanting
To let go when you left?

Do you remember when
You wanted to kiss me?
It was pouring rain
And not doing so is my regret.

Remember our house
We planned our first date?
A house by the sea
With a Siberian Husky.

Do you remember telling me
When we went to the game
That you were in love with me?
I told you I felt the same.

Do you remember us
Planning our lives
When I go to college?
I was so happy.

Remember telling me
You wouldn’t leave me
For anything in the world?
And held me just because?

If you don’t remember,
I sure as hell do.
And because I remember,
I hurt and want to forget.

Want to forget
That you
Once
Loved Me.

Darkness drifts around me.
Fog, dark as night, swallows me whole.
Running is no good.
Screaming, crying, hurting does nothing.
For now, my mind only knows fear.
I’m blind in this darkness,
Unaware of what’s to be,
What will happen if I keep moving forward.
Demons surround me in the fog,
Tormenting me, breaking me.
I scream. I yell. I try pain.
But the demons, the darkness remains.
A point of light bursts for me.
Briefly, the darkness disappears.
I’m running for the light
but it slowly gets further and further away.
Without that light there,
The darkness drifts around me,
Swallowing me whole once more.

I hid them,
Buried them,
Bottled them.

I kept them from showing,
Wore a mask to cover them,
Made them unnoticeable.

They would build
And the bottle would pop
And they’d pour out.

I could control them,
Back into the bottle
Until the top blew again.

But you urged me,
Told me to break the bottle,
Keep them from building.

I shattered the bottle,
Now they roam free
And they’re hard to control.

The bottle,
Un-repairable,
Can’t be used.

I can’t hide them,
Bury them,
Bottle them.

These tears would fall,
Not on my face, like now,
But into the bottle.

My screams,
None could hear,
For those were bottled.

Tears,
Screams,
Emotions….


All were bottled
Until the bottle broke
When you took my hand.

When you are there
And I am here,
My heart aches
And my soul is empty.

Miles apart
From my love,
And I’m all alone,
I feel not like myself.

When you aren’t here
Or I’m not there,
I want to cry,
To be in your arms.

Saying “I miss you”
Just isn’t enough.
I’m not whole
When I’m not with you.

I may sound
Dramatic, pathetic,
But these words
Hold truth from my heart.

Early this morning,
I walked outside
And saw the moon,
Just as bright as it could be.
And it reminded me of you;
Your shining face,
The light you’ve brought into my life.

Later today,
The moon will go away
Only to return later tonight
And shine down once more.
And it reminds me of you.
You go away
Leaving me briefly
But always coming back
Just as bright and loving.

The moon accompanies the sky
Always being there
Even when not seen
And the sky holds the moon high
Not letting anything hurt the moon.

Be my moon and I will be your sky.
