Time

In a smile it started
In a second it grew
In a minute we were light-hearted
In an hour we knew
In a day we tried
In a week it came true
In a month it died
In that moment, I lost you.

Not For Me

Your eyes don't look at me
Your lips don't speak my name
Your smile isn't meant for me
Your feelings aren't the same

Your touch won't caress me
Your memory will forget me
Your soul wont care for me
Your thoughts aren't of me

Your future isn't with me
Your heart doesn't beat for me
Your breath won't be because of me
And your love was never meant for me

Rain

A glance through the broken glass,
Gray skies pour endless rain.
The storm will eventually surpass,
But it will leave a colorless stain.

Drowning in the cold rain,
A breath of air breaks away.
This storm I’ll never ascertain,
And still I’m left in disarray.

The water cleanses the land,
It burns a hole through the sand.
In this rain you somehow stand,
Something I still can’t understand.

I sink in this downpour,
It will never be the same.
It will rain until it can’t no more,
The light of day will soon reclaim.

A Big Ailment

Memories still linger here,
Yet, you no longer do.
Profound words I used to hear.
Remembering the feeling I had for you,
Ignites heartache cause you aren’t near.
Nights filled with a true emotion,
Crazy talks of kids and marriage,
Everything was in harmonic motion,
Something we would never disparage.
Something to which I still pay devotion.

Things Don'T Change

What once was,
No longer is.
What once became,
No longer exists.
What once happened,
No longer occurs.
What once hurt,
Still hurts today.

Time Heals All Wounds

Today I couldn’t think of anything but you,
Cause your memory lingers in my mind.
It’s painful and makes me blue;
A way out I try to find,
Cause it’s killing me that I cant be with you.

Tonight I won’t be able to sleep,
Cause your voice will keep me awake.
My life your memory will reap;
All that has happened causes heartache,
Cause my feelings for you were truly deep.

Tomorrow my life will go on,
Cause I don't want to live in the past.
A reality now forgone;
This pain will somehow be surpassed,
And my feelings, someday, withdrawn.

A Poem

Hurting I live on
Aching more each day.
Our love now is gone,
Leaving my heart to decay

Fading into you
I see what you don’t
Crying ‘cause of you
My love will remain unknown

You walk away now
Making this heart cold
I’ll live on some how
Yet I'll love you till I'm old

I'M Sorry

Did you know I did like you?
I just didn’t realize what I was doing,
And I was just so stupid to let you go.
Now I just wish that you spend the rest of your life happy,
And that you never again feel the pain I made you feel.

A Moment Remembered

Sweat pours through,
A green color glows.
And because of you,
This feeling grows.

Talks of dreaming,
The night fades away.
Your face is gleaming,
And this memory will forever stay.

I hold your hand,
And always will until
We can no longer stand.
Time stands still.

At the end of the night,
Words foreshadow pain.
And although things went right,
I’ll never feel this way again.

You Once Told Me

You once told me that you liked me,
That I was the one you were waiting for.
And I thought I was all you could see,
But in the end, my heart you tore.

You once told me that I was everything,
That I was the only one for you.
And I thought my soul could sing,
But in the end, all your words weren’t true. 

You once told me that you needed me,
That you would live up to every reason for which you liked me.
And I thought, wow she really likes me, do you see?
But in the end, there was no ‘me and her’, there was no ‘we’.
