You Didn'T Even Notice

You broke my heart today
and you didn't even notice 
it seems your love has gone away
why? I would like to know this.
Baby I cant keep pretending to be okay
as my heart breaks more each and everyday
why cant you love me like I love you
I scream and scream but I cant break through
misery is taking its tolls on me
I need to let go and set  my heart free
but see baby I just cant do that
because with you , is where my hearts at
your always telling me you have everything I lack
so is this why you always give me your back?
I don't want your back I want your hand
so this is me, I'm taking my stand
I cant keep sitting here crying over you
so baby I'm giving you this one chance to choose
I don't want to be your enemy I want to be your friend
and cherish our love that I know is deep within
I'm letting go of everything to whisper in the wind
as we try one last time to make our love whole again
this is my promise I give to you
so baby I'm begging, please stay true.

About a Rose

I found this poem I want you to see
This Poem was written, And it was just for me
It's about a rose that has its thorns 
Resembling how ones life can suddenly be torn
This beautiful poem has caught my eye
Because it was written without any disguise
I never saw the thorns on that beautiful flower 
Is a poem about love and it's heart binding power
love can be strong and sometimes it's blind
ceasing our hearts and controlling our minds
love is something you should never throw away 
but remember be careful it can easily astray
that flower i picked was just right for me
as i knelt back up from off my knees
if only i knew and if only i could see
the thorns on that flower were strong while i was weak
they sliced me open and cut my wounds so deep
now all i can do is sit back and weep
as i pick my heart from off your feet
Your rose has turned to black satin and died
And in another red velvet rose, i will confide.

I Lost You, Again

Oh notebook I lost you again,
You get lost so easy, like a leaf in the wind.
I need to remember where I put you up,
so I can get this awful feeling out of my gut!
When I get finished writing inside of you,
there is one promise, that will always stay true.
notebook, I promise I wont lose you again
I'll hold onto you like my one and only friend.

Slow Down

we all just forget 
to slow ourselves down
to stop and look at all the 
life thats around.
the trees they breathe
just like you and me
and their beauty forever grows
just like the sea
when the wind blows just take a second to listen
because it whispers, just like an old friend.
when night falls the stars twinkle,
like diamonds up so high,
and lightning bugs zip right on by! 
drawing on the dark night sky.
we all just forget 
to slow ourselves down
to stop and look at all the 
life thats around

An Angel Named Kenny

Kenny I don't know why I get so crazed
sometimes some things just become a haze
I wish I could see myself the way you see me
then all my insecurities could be set free
your my angel sent from my heavens above
that I cherish so dearly like an eagle or dove
your passion released me of all my chains
and gave me love to where ones heart would never strain
I just want you to know that I will love you forever
through all the pain and stormy weather!

Notebook

Where oh where can my notebook be
I need it so I can write my poetry.
It has to be around,around here somewhere,
because I just wrote a poem in there!
Oh, where did it go
I just don't know,
I looked all around
all up and down!
I'm so sad I can't find my pretty pink notebook,
Oh wait! there's one place I forgot to look!
Ohh notebook, there you are! I thought I lost you
Come on, lets go, we've got a lot of writing to do :)


- just a silly poem I though of one day when I was looking for my notebook :)

Brittney Sweet Brittney

Brittney sweet Brittney
why did you leave that day
why would you ever 
want yourself to go away
I know they said
you weren't in love
but I know what ya'll had 
was a love from above
I guess maybe it was your time 
to be gods angel
but Brittney you left us all
mixed up and strangled
you were only fifteen 
when you took your last breath
I guess they really did 
put you and Sean to the test
you said in a note your love
was like Romeo and Juliet
a love ones heart 
could never forget
Sean said even death 
couldn't do your love apart
This you meant because march 20th
you stopped your hearts
together you lay there in silence
as I weep and ask god for his guidance
Brittney sweet Brittney 
why did you have to go away..

You Were Right In Front of Me

You were right in front of me all a long
like the sweetest melody without a song,
I don't know why I just couldn't see
that you were always that one for me,
You see me like no other one can
and this is the reason why I take your hand,
Even when our paths were divided
they always met up as if they were guided, 
You were always my friend through the thick and the thin
and here is where our love can truly begin,
So baby lets go through this journey together
and promise to stay true no matter the weather, 
You're my angel sent from the heavens above
and I couldn't ask for anyone better to love.

Sweet Angel

I know I can't find the words to say 
But I'll give it a try anyway.....
For the past couple months I know I've been different
But baby it's you, you've got me slippin',
Slippin right through your precious hands
As I try to explain to you, but you still don't want to understand,
I want us back to the way we were before,
When you actually cared about me and would open my door.
You would hold my hand so secure and tight,
and treated with the love that I knew was right!
Now every night I sit and wonder why,
You watch me drown myself  in all my saddened cries...
Cant you see that I'm silently screaming!
Its that twinkle in your eye, constantly gleaming
It's turned you so dark, shady, and cold,
I just want my baby back in my arms to hold.
Where is that sweet angel I used to adore,
I can't seem to find him, he sure isn't here anymore....

If Only You Really Knew

I cant go and I can't leave 
I'm sadly broken from within between
I know that I probably should go
but every time my heart keeps telling  me, "no!"
you've changed so much, 
and you've lost your light,
now your filled with anger and spite.
you've stolen my happiness and my pride
you call me names and watch me cry
all my tears, sinking into all my fears.
you sit back and laugh with all the guys
joking like my misery is your biggest prize
when I met you , you were something so special,
something that shined like a ruby or crystal.
now your dull you should be ashamed,
your a little boy , you will never change.
god will give back what you've been giving
take this as a lesson in life's finer living. 
kindness and compassion can go a long way
maybe you should remember that, it could help you out some day :) 



This is actually a song that I wrote, Hope you enjoy! :) 
                                                 With Love,
