No One

Silent screams no one hears
Tired eyes filled with tears
Gut wrenching heartache no one feels
Emotions dark enough to kill
Mental exhaustion no one sees
Strong enough it hurts to breathe
An answer seekin no one speaks
A language spoken without speech

Plea

Even through the darkest days, my faith remains unshaken
There's not a day that passes, that I'm ungrateful for each blessing
I understand that we all face trial and tribulations
And I believe, that nothing is placed on us that would break us
So I keep my head up, like they said, and keep praying 
But still everyday I'm waking up to face the same issues
And I'm starting to get frustrated, and I'm feeling crazy
So if you hear me God, my God, please save me
I feel like I owe you lifetimes, for all the times, that I spent away from you
But know that even when we weren't speaking, that I did not forsake you
And I know that you'll forgive me and still walk by my side
It may not look like it, but I'm giving my all for this life
If I could go back in time I would take the path that you'd placed for me
Instead of erasing it with all the same temptations that now make me
I wanna feel your strength lift me up, and your grace that's nothing short of amazing
So if you hear me God, my God, please save me.

Mother Nature

Thank you for the sunshine, that makes us smile on the tougher days
Thank you for the rain storms, that seem to ease the pain away 
And how the wind seems to hold you, if you can find its simplistic unattainable rhythm 
Even for the cold, that when applied to the wounds will minimize the illness
Mother Nature, a woman so fierce and so majestic 
There's not words beautiful enough yet, to describe her image.

Baby Girl

Yesterday it seemed like it'd been forever ago
And today it seems like it was only yesterday that you came home
You were so small and so beautiful
It was amazing to raise you and watch how you grew
But i still wanna hold you and sing to you like i used to
And i need you to still need me like you used to
I know that you have what it takes to make it in this world
And the strength of an army and the courage of a soldier to take it all on
But in my heart i'm still so afraid to let go, i don't want you to be gone
Because i couldn't take it i would miss you like crazy
And i would give any and everything to you no question
My whole world, my first love, a true blessing

For You

A new feeling I've never felt
You smile and my heart melts
Reasons of self unforgiven
Forever grateful for each 
moment I'm given
You keep me calm with serene 
composure
When times were rough you 
loved harder
Forever indebted to your 
driven loyalty
What I've been searching for 
you complete me
True love the ultimate sacrifice
Two souls unspoken 
compromise
You win I surrender
No motive pure intention
I admire your ability to remain 
focused
Uninterrupted for hours 
endless
I envy your self motivation
Defying all odds of self 
preservation
An answered prayer cast upon 
my life
To see one another through 
each others eyes
I promise you forever because 
I mean it
My promise only last forever if 
you keep it
I would be honored to become 
one with you
To know you to hold you 
because I love you.

Times

A lot of parents these days are self absorbed self glorified babysitters
Raising a youth with no standards or morales, without limitations
A fantasy reality with no self regard, and no intellectual education
We are part of the problem, afraid of our neighbors, defying our creators
Creating our own gentrification, watching with blind eyes as history repeats itself 
Standing by, in silence, until they decide the next people to blame it on
With no self identity, a nation built from conformity, eliminating unity
Breeding hate for generations through misled communications and misinterpreted history

Lost

Lost, destination undefined
On a search for something I'll never find
Repeating reflection, endless time line
A place of unexsistance, a desired state of mind.

Miss

I miss smiles in the morning time
I miss laughing until I cry
I miss long conversations that last through the night
I miss the ease in the fear of facing the unknown
I miss hearing the music of love in a moan
I miss the secrets shared between two sacrificed souls
I miss you laying beside me and keeping me warm
I miss the closeness of falling asleep in your arms
I miss the syncing rhythm of two beating hearts
I miss the desire of the feeling that somebody needs me
I miss the passion of somebody wanting to please me
I miss the magic of the love that I still believe in

Some Days

Some days
I laugh sometimes when I think 
about you
And I cry sometimes cuz I'm still 
without you
Mostly your memories they all make 
me smile 
But they still tug at my heart every 
once in a while
Some days
It’s like you never left
I swear I hear your voice and your 
footsteps
It’s like I can feel your body against 
mine
I'd stop breathing to rewind the time
Some days
Dear God please I kneel before you
Ask him for a glimpse of you
If I close my eyes I can smell the 
scent of you
My soul pulling desperately just to 
feel the touch of you
Some days
I try not to think about not being 
with you
But I was lost here before I found 
you
Everything I do is for you
My whole world surrounds you, 
you're so beautiful
Some days
I can't help but think about all the 
times that you saved me
I'm overwhelmed by the guilt that I 
couldn't do the same thing
They say that time will ease the pain
But this time it hurts worse every 
day you're away
Some days
Every day that passes is another day 
that I'm stuck here without you
I try to do the things we used to do
It still makes me smile just to think 
of you
I wake up waiting for bedtime so I 
can dream of you
Some days
I love it when it rains outside
Lay under an open window and 
stare into the sky
Pretend that the rain drops are 
tears from your eyes
So a part of you is still alive
Some days
I'd never speak again for one last 
conversation with you
Just to tell you everything that I 
meant to
I wish you could feel how blessed I 
was to receive your love
And how healing the pureness was 
of your beautiful soul, you're so 
beautiful.

Still

I know how it feels, I been there before.
Don't wanna go to sleep, don't wanna wake up all alone.
I still want you.
The nights seem to last forever, seems the darkness never ends.
Tired wet eyes meet the sunrise, the heartache rebegins.
I still miss you.
First breath of the morning barely reaches the lungs, first glance in the mirror burns down to the soul.
I still need you.
Silent night, the lights go off. The heart starts longing, the tear drops start to fall.
I still love you.
It’s crazy how your image still takes my breath away, how my heart still pounds in desperation when I hear your name.
I still want you.
I try to clear my mind in the still of a moment but before I can do it your memory takes over.
I still miss you.
I need a familiar face, I feel so alone. The worst pain you can imagine and it can't be consoled.
I still need you.
As the sun begins to set I can feel that sunken breath. I’m forced to hold my composure until I'm alone in bed. 
I still love you.
