Confusion, Frustration, and Lack of a Brain

I love you
I'm mad at you
I miss you
But don't come over
She's just a friend 
But give us our space
Confusion

I'll fight for you
I'll punch the wall
Just leave me alone
Can't wait til you get here
Just don't crowd me
I don't want to know who you are
Frustration

I don't want you anymore
You do everything for me
You show me your love
And make me happy
We think so much alike
And you need to leave.
Lack of a brain

A Spell Was Cast

In the stillness of our world
Like an overflow of gold and silver flowers
You intoxicate me with your touch

Your lips on mine slowly devastates me
To the point where...
My heart no longer belongs to me

Your forbearing soul inhales mine
Illuminating my world around me
Motivating it to exhale all pain felt previous to your gentle touch

And now my eyes sparkle
Knowing my life will change for the better
With a phenomenal man guiding the way to never ending possibilities.

Like a Sad Country Song

My life is but a sad country song
day after day of things gone wrong.
Their love, fake, not pure like mine,
No surprise they couldn't walk the line.
Pick my head up just to move on,
Back to lonely from dusk to dawn.
True love is when you both feel the same,
Giving of rings and sharing a name.
Best friends to each other,
Future father and mother.
Forever by each others sides,
Taking life like the ocean tides.
Understanding the feelings of both,
Watering loves roots for growth.
To simply say I love you
With a feeling that is new,
Truly feeling the words spoken
Knowing it's not just a promise to be broken. 
Only then will you know,
Being with you is not just for show.

A Special Gift

It's amazing how I feel when I'm around you
How my heart beats when you walk into a room
I'm always thinking about how lucky I am just be in your world
And how just the words you speak makes my whole life bloom

I knew when we first met that you had to be mine
Not as a possesion but as a goal
To love you with all that I have
To make the other half of each other whole

We came together in a fairly strange way
And "love at first sight" was found
The key to my heart is what you have
Hope for a future is all around

Be gentle, for what you're holding is my heart
You have my honesty and my pride
My faith and loyalty is yours
And from you the truth I will never hide

When I think of you my feelings twist inside
And all I can say is you're the sun in my sky
All that I've asked for is all that you are
You have become my natural high

So with that there is but one more thing to be said
I love you more with every thing that you do
With every look, word, and touch
I never want to loose such a gift as special as you!

Faith In Life

Through fading light
And falling rain
And hope's last torch upon the pain
I'm unstirred by any winds of strife 
Because I acknowledge the love in my life. 
I have had enough of life's sorrows
I am ready for every day tomorrows
My joys will be countless like the waves of the sea
Just knowing that there are people that love me. 
My days will be brighter 
My loads will get lighter
For infinite good will soon be here
With the infinite hope my heart holds dear.  
My faith is like the great fir tree
Whose love roots the good and shadows the mistakes in me.
I do not look back to ponder right or wrong
Instead I write my life a new song. 
Life is not held by any bolt or bar
It's simply free and looking for a special star
As sweet as winds that drift
Is that breeze that only the love in life can lift.
A few careless footsteps along the way
You think would lead my heart astray
But I am not one to be shut away
I look at tomorrow as just a new day. 
What's next is just a prize to be won
Though no one said that it was all about fun
To trip and fall is a new lesson learned
Brush yourself off and prepare for the life you have yearned
Let your spirit flow with the guiding wind
For it's all in your mind that your soul feels pined. 
Step forward now into the light
And take a look at the beautiful sight.

The L Word

I almost "L" him 
I sure like him a lot
I want to tell him
Good time or not?

I almost "L" him
Maybe I do??
I almost "L" him
It's almost true

I almost "L" him
What a great guy
I almost "L" him
He makes me shy

I almost "L" him
I'm falling so fast
I think he will catch me
Or will I fall on my ass?

I like him a lot
To soon for the "L" word
What the hell?
Talk about a nerd

I can't even say it
The "L" word comes out
I almost "L" him
What is this about??

I can honestly say that I LLLLLLike him a lot
And I can honestly say 
No doubt in my mind
The "L" word is on its way!!!

You Don'T Deserve Them

You don't deserve the smiles
Or the I love you's at night
You don't deserve the laughs 
Or the wines when the sun's to bright

You don't deserve the kisses
Or the tears of a skinned knee
You just don't deserve them
All they need is ME

You don't deserve the stories
Or pictures that you take
You don't deserve the misses
of the little hearts you break

A little time with daddy 
that is all they ask
I am trying to be a good mommy
But your making it a hard task

I won't keep them from you
But if I had my way
Never again would you see them
Now or any day

But you are their father
A doner we'll just say
And time to them is presious
Their the ones that pay

Grow up little boy
Put their hearts in your head
If you didn't want to be a dad
You shouldn't have slept in my bed!

Perfect

I met a guy so perfect
He meant everything to me
He made me feel so special 
He made me feel so free

But I let my guard down
and now my heart is broke
He was to perfect anyway
it must have been a joke

It's hard for me to trust people
they always want to lie
They tell me that I'm important 
Then they leave me high and dry

Some day I'll find my true love and this is what he'll say
"You are the perfect woman
Perfect in every way"

He will be so perfect
And mean everything to me
We will grow so old together
We will love unselfishly

We will build a life together
We will do our part
Teach our children how to live 
and how to have a heart

He will be my soul mate
and when we finally part
He will always wait for me
Till our lives again we start

You Loose When You Win

You loose when you win
and it might not seem fair
and most of the time
the pain's hard to bare
but at the deepest of holes
there's always a way out
Because only when your there
do you know what lifes about

Life is an obstical
there's gonna be hills
and only at your weakest moment 
will you prevail
you find your streangth
you find your will
pick your head up
and climb that damn hill

Life can't always be fair
you have to feel pain
sit in the shadows
wonder what's yet to gain
Swallow your pride
stand on your feet
Take a step forword 
feel your heart beat

your still alive
let your soul guide you
remember the people
that will forever be beside you
trust in your friends
let them know you hurt
only then will you have the power
to let your feelings and mind convert.

In Loving Memory of Jerry Lingle

He has died 
And gone away,
But he's now here 
In a new way to stay. 

The air we breath,
The warmth of the sun,
His energy stays
Though his body is done. 

He has trained us, 
And helped us to care, 
And loosing him like this 
Is to much to bare. 

Close your eyes 
And take a deep breath, 
Feel him here, 
In the heart of your chest! 

We will smile 
And we will cry, 
We will cherish the memories 
As we say... Goodbye!
