Don'T Leave Me

I can't imagine being alive without you
I can't imagine what it will be like when your gone
I don't know what I'll become without you
Maybe I'll just run
Run away from everything and leave everyone behind
Maybe I'll find a way to be close to you
Because I won't believe you died 
My heart will ache so much more 
Tears will always run
My eyes will hold the wisdom 
That you bestowed upon me young
And my recklessness will be noticeable
People will wonder why
Why am I running when the person I needed most died
How can I face my life when I can't do anything right
I won't believe you have gone away
When God decides to take you
I'll still come by your house and always expect an answer
I Love You Gamma
You Taught Me About My Heritage  
Please Remember Me When God Takes You
Please Guide Me In the Right Way

Forgive

I saw you the other day we didnt speak
Thinking to myself how did we become this way
And remembered the times we had 
Our first kiss I remember
I was drunk but I sobered up
Realizing I was feeling outta place
I looked at you 
Though it took me a minute to see
Your the only one I want
I only wanna make it good
For both me and you
So please forgive 
If I pull away from you 
It's a defense mechanism 
I know not of what I do
Please forgive me if I want you like I do

Chika Means Scattered Flowers

I was 13 and in love,in eighth grade and so very lost.
My family saw a prodigy a girl,whom they didn't want
In hopes they wanted a boy
The scars I made ran deep inside.
Through my thinning blood veins
So touching the skin of the surface didn't provide
a secure enough feeling to protect me from the night.
Night time nightmares that haunted my subconsciousness 
The pain ran deep,thought love could fix it.
i depended on him to be there forever,since no one else would
But he left one day,and i was so alone.
I realized then i could only trust myself,hug,hold,tell myself it'd be alright.
The chills that hugged me through the waking of the dawn.
The sunrise I'd wish would hurry and come over the horizon
Should it set me free from the darkness 
To warm me of my emotionless state of mind.
The blood that ran through my veins and name i wish i didn't have.
The disgrace,genious no one wanted,the fury and tears i kept hidden.
But the red color that leaked from the scars said it all.
The girl i wanted to be,who i needed to be but couldn't.
For all the rebellion and pain. I'm sorry but I knew you wouldn't ever care.
Your eyes always said it to me
Even when your lips lied
Your eyes told me the truth
You were to busy,to gone away to tell me of our family
The saddest smile always laid on my lips
You saw it and denied it
How could your eldest daughter do this to you?
The questions you asked...
The answers you received back
The perfection that ran deep in blood
I did not want.
To be like you..
Was unfair
To relive your life was horrid
I was not conceived to relive your life
I was born to live mine
But in your mist of unknowing 
I found my on family
No blood relation
Backgrounds totally different
But we all felt the same pain
Our eyes told our stories
While our lips told the lies
I didn't have to fake my happiness
I just had to find myself
Though all my unhappiness and loss
I found Family and I found Me

Promise I Couldn'T Keep

I swore I'd love you forever and 
always 
But laying down listening to 
this song 
Go on and on
Makes it hard for me
I can't keep my promise 
anymore
It hurts to much to say
But I don't love you 
Even though I said I'd stay
I can't
So don't follow me this time
I'll go left 
You go right
You can tell that other chick 
hello,
yeah start over with her
While I say goodbye

Beau Lacrima -Beautiful Tears

She cried and she cried
and i tried and i tried
but she just cried and she cried 
and i pained and i cried
she told me its alright to die
but i kept holding on 
couldn't let her go
she just kept crying tears
some from anger some from sad
My heart dropped right then and there
she clutched my shirt and cried more
I held her there and smiled small
"mi amor,mi corozan,cry no more for you will always have me in your heart" 
I whispered in her ear as i kissed away her tears
she looked up at me and she made me swear that no matter what
i'd stay in her heart 
i told her i would and to never forget me 
as i told her this she cried some last tears
I stroked her cheek and kissed her tear
one last time i told her,your still beautiful when you cry
mi beau lacrima

Teardrop

Teardrops a few may fall at first
Teardrops the only emotion people can see from me
Teardrops my sadness and dwelling that's been hiding deep in my soul
Teardrops releases my hearts heartache down inside
Teardrops a way to show you more than meets the eye
Teardrops fall whether i want them to or not

Inspiration

Bonita chica that had so much to say

Kept it locked inside everyday

So sweet and quiet no one would've guessed

My apologies

if my actions don't speak as loud as my words

sometimes that's how it is with me

you wont see it cause your expectation of me 

is to be like everybody else

that expressed how they felt in actions

well mine are in words

i could write you poems everyday

then sing em to you like a lullaby

i could give you  the world

need you only ask

Being In Love But Blinded

They were complete opposites
Light and Dark
Had very little in common
Like earth an sky
Completely different elements
of mother nature and God
A hard exterior on the outside but a  soft,caring one inside
That was hidden extremely well
The pain they hid but the smile they put on for everyone but each other
They had one thing good thing in common though
They were both crazy about each other
They tried to hide it but everyone saw
Thinking one didn't like the other in the same way
never bothering to ask for the fear of being rejected
Everyone but those two realized that they wanted one another but was blind to how the other felt.

Relationships has never been a friend to me 
Commitment has always been my enemy

Save Me

That day was cold,my face was 
pale,my body filled with fear.
That boy,that thing,that awful 
person,tried to make me his.
On the wall ,I stuck,against my 
will while his hand was in my 
shirt. 
Squeezing,groping my poor 
chest and biting on my neck. 
My voice and will I found again, 
"stop,let me go,get off" I said.
But my words were futile 
against his
Strength,I didn't feel,tears I 
did.
If possible,my heart broke 
again, and detachted myself 
from it. 
I shouldn't have gone to meet 
that boy,I just should've stayed 
home and been good.
His hand in my pants,I told him 
"no"
As I fought to keep the tears in.
Finally he let go and I tried to 
go back home, "not without a 
kiss goodbye" he grabbed my 
wrist once more...
