Snow Man

A Cold breeze flows through my soul,
My hearts been replaced with an icicle.
Seems like it's always winter season,
And my temperature's a million below feezin.
Walkin through this snow storm,
In search for anything warm.
A chill in my bones ice in my veins,
Feelin like a snow cone with ice in my brain.
I got frost bite,
In this below zero fahrenheit.
I'm stuck in this emotional igloo,
With nothing to my name, completely nude.
Growing numb, losing all feeling,
Looking for anything to start the healing.
I'd give anything to stop the freezing and go back to cold,
I'd give my soul but it's already Been sold.
I need some one to come help me,
An ice sculpture ive Become I need someone to come melt me.
It feels like I've been dipped in liquid nitrogen,
I just need to feel love again,
By some one whose more then just a friend.

If I Had

Life without you isn't the same, 
But if a second chance with you ever came. 
I swear I'd cherish every hour, 
And treat you gentle just as a flower. 
When you're feeling sick and down, 
I'd flip the universe to flip your frown.
And when you're in need of a cry, 
I'll put on some chick flicks and sit by your side. 
there may be a world full other girls, 
But you're the only one in MY world. 
Your still more then a friend,
And ultimately  in the end. 
I'd rather die cold and alone, 
If I could never again call you my own.

My Grandpa

I lost a partner in crime,
But I'll see him again further in time.
He was the defenition of a man,
Always willing to lend a hand.
He had some special way,
Of brightening up even the darkest days.
He had the biggest smile with the best heart,
And he had been there for me from the start.
He took me under his wings,
And along the way taught me so many things.
He taught me how to throw a ball,
And to always get up after a fall.
He taught me to stay strong and fight till the end,
He was more then my grandpa, he was more then my friend.
He was a solider in more ways then one,
He taught me to take responibility and never to run.
He will forever live on in the rest of us,
This amazing man was Jerry Gonzales.

Gone

You raised me as if I were your own, 
showed me love that I had never known. 
You helped mold me to who I am today, 
and despite the fact you feel betrayed, 
Just know you're not the only one, 
I've felt it too since you decided to run. 
Was it your only choice? Who knows, 
but what you reap you certainly will sow. 
I do miss the times that we spent, 
I sometimes wonder where they all went. 
I miss who you used to be, 
and alot of people see alot of you in me. 
And even though you cant see it now through my additude, 
just know words could never express my graditude. 
You wanna know why we dont talk? 
Because you no longer walk the walk. 
You pass off all responsability, 
and your ignorance is now a liability. 
You are the kind of man you raised me not to be, 
you act like a child, thats me speaking truthfully. 
So next time you get mad while drinking a beer, just remember im the one here, 
putting food on the table, 
because you're not able.
I'm the one that stepped up like a man, because you got up and ran. 
Walked out once you got problems, 
and left me here to solve them. 
I dont mind though i'll keep doing what I need, 
and continue to take the lead.
You taugh me thats what a real man is, 
and even though you vanished, 
I still love you from the bottom of my heart, 
I just dont have time for you, because im too busy playing your part.

Precious Prayer

It hurts to see her sad,
And to think about what they once had,
I wish I could take all her pain away,
Even if it is just for a day,
I wish her tears were that of joy
And not saddness of a boy, 
I say boy because he's no longer a man, 
Even tho he raised me to the one that I am.
I hope things will go back as they were when I was younger, 
And that they both feed their spiritual hunger, 
I dont understand how neither of them see,
That with Jehovah none of this would be.
I guess we all fall down and scrape our knees,
But i pray now please,
Let them both come back to the truth they taught me so well,
And that they get up before the final bell, 
And make it back before the end of this world, 
Because they're both more precious to me then any diamond or pearl.

Heart

The hearts trecherous,
It's crazy and dangerous.

Able to make you act reckless,
And make a huge mess.

"Follow you're heart."
You're ruined from the start.

Dont lose your brain,
Use it and keep sane.

2011

Please take your shots at me,
I beg for you to doubt me.

Come on and give me a challange,
Try your best to knock me off balance.

Im patiently waiting,
But my patience is fading.

Keep up your hate,
But losing's not my fate.

So far 2011s been a  great year,
I'm sick beyond belife, but i'll find a cure.

Know in less then 16 weeks,
I lost two friends but thats not where it peaks.

Had my car taken away,
So my grandpa could gamble and play.

Lost my job due to his addiction,
But between us theres no friction.

Now lets talk about my sleepless month,
I went threw four bottles of nyquil,

Three bottles of tylenol PM,
But it wasnt as a stunt.

Poppin pills with no hesitation,
It was all in desperation.

Just lookin for some sort of rest,
But thats hard with pain in your chest.

Keep in mind all this is just in 2011,
You can say it's been like a lemon.

However I'm still standing on my own two feet,
And I'll never claim defeat.

Success is my best revenge,
Call me cocky or concided but my confidence will never bend

Broken

Everyone who loved you begged for 
you to stay,
You turned your back and walked 
away.

You looked back and put up your 
middle finger,
Stood there for a second and let it 
linger.

You threw everyone away like you 
dont care,
But yet here a few months later in 
our eyes you still cant stare.

Maybe theres something your trying 
to hide,
Like the sadness i can see with out 
looking in your eyes.

So much has changed your face is 
differant now,
You forgot how to smile you only 
frown.

Now for me theres no reisentment,
Im not happy or sad just content 
with.

The cards I was delt,
The loss of our friendship is just 
another under my belt.

And evern tho I cant stand to see 
you around,
From my mouth you wont hear a 
sound.

Doesnt mean I'm upset or mad,
I just cant stand to see what once 
was my best friend so sad.

And yet still threw it all,
You have people who dont want to 
see you fall.

So I apologize if when you walk 
threw the door,
I turn my head, I just cant stand to 
see you hit the floor.

I'm sorry I keep distant to protect 
me,
But know if you look back right 
there i'll be.

Ready to grab your hand,
Just to make sure you always stand.

How Can You

How can you, stand there and call yourself a man?
How can you, sit there and drink can after can?

How can you, just stumble through life?
How can you, not see the pain your causing your wife?

How can you, hurt your family on a daily basis?
How can you, not see the disgust on our faces?

How can you, expect me to be ok with your choices?
How can you, expect me to not raise my voice?

How can you, hurt my girls and expect no response from me?
How can you, sit there guilt free?

How can you, look at the relationship we once had?
How can you, expect me to call you dad?

Exceptions

We all think we're the exception
Those thoughts are just deception
Games played in your own mind
Wasted time you can't rewind
Your best bet is to learn and improve
That mind set remove
Try to rebuild those bridges you've burned 
Apply the knowledge you've recently learned
Even if the lesson was some what cruel
You now know, you're not the exception to the rule.
