For Stephanie
I walk alone
in The City of Stone
Head down
Heartbroken
This path well known
Chaotic thoughts
abound in my mind
Trying so hard
to remember better times
Memories haunt me still
Though I try to let go
My feet leave a lonely
path as I walk in the snow
My Queen lays quiet underneath
Her own headstone...
Damn I feel so alone...
remembering the vibrant smile
That stayed on your lips
The same lips
I would lovingly kiss
Holding hands and talking
Wishing it could stay just like this
I never knew
these were the moments I’d miss
I want you to know
That I will always care
I’m know your still with me
I can feel Your Spirit in the air
I’ve spent so much time
Planting You flowers in the dirt
Hoping Beauty would resurrect You
So I won’t keep feeling this hurt...
(I still Feel You everywhere)
I broke down crying again
Just trying to write you this song
I wish I could go back in time
So I could right this wrong
Words still escape me
I’m still trying to be strong
It’s been so very damn long
Since You’ve been gone
I’ve seen You in Heaven
I know that Vision was real
Having You in my arms again
Was something I could feel
All this time has passed
But that hasn’t helped me heal
I miss you like crazy
no one can take your place
Lately,
any smile I produce
feels out of place
Your still my Best Friend
And still my First Love
I know your smiling down with
The Angels in Heaven above
Some days I would visit You
laying back on the grass
Lost in memories of Us
And thoughts of Our past
Sometimes thinking
The best times have already past
And sadly
they never seem to last...
(I still feel you everywhere)
Your rings on my chain
Your names tatted on my arm
Hoping it would keep your memory
Safe from harm
To keep you close to me
On the side of my heart
This bond is deeper than life
Or Death do us Part
Sweetheart,
I just don’t know where to start
To pick up the pieces
That this tragedy blew apart
It seems like every time
I Go to close my eyes
My dreams of You
Make me want to be on the Other Side
Meet me there please
This heart is too heavy to hide
It’s too heavy to carry
Since the day that You died
One thing I have learned
From that point on
Is that you never realize
Who you have
until they’re gone
I hope you have seen the Candles
I have lit upon your grave
I would stay there for hours
Staring at the picture of your face
The candles would melt
And I would turn to walk away
But we both know
All I wanna do is stay
