Slowly, in the darkness, you will find me—counting the feet beneath the earth—driven by the urge to be by your side and to come to rest upon your hand, before you vanish into the light, never once looking back.
I contemplate, I observe, I watch; yet I neither weep nor laugh, for I am too young to feel, too young to care, when is this all going to end? I want to feel alive again, but your face is everywhere.
I long to alter the very rhythm of my heart’s beat, and to never forget the brush of your touch. Yet as the sun rises, I see your shadow descend into that pristine void you left behind when you departed.
And if only I could turn back the hands of time, I would lay my inner self bare for all to see, holding it gently in just one hand; with the other, I would cradle yours—for though I may watch my own life passed before my eyes a thousand times without cease, I shall never, ever be able to forget your soul.

Quick don't make a sound step up to the table
Take these drugs and feel alive again
Everything you've ever wished for is just a pill away
Just don't let your feelings sway
The premonition is lost behind his eyes
Lay closer and let things come to life
The thrill has left a sliver of hope
And these livid dreams are helping you cope
Your bedside manner is lacking in a wasted time once lost
The profane and profound impersonate the rich and the loud
In a time where we all resist the hand that feeds
The breath of life blows out the candle of death
So take heed and don't make a sound
Creep through the darkness to search for the light all around
A ragged whisper sends a chill down your spine
Struggle to keep your balance she says you're all mine
Touch the water and let it cleanse your drunken soul
Let's make believe we're all something more
You'll be dead by morning's end
You'll be dead by tomorrow morn
Sing to the dead for us and grant them peace
Let them know that heavens been released
The moment
The sound of your voice made my heart stand up and pay attention.
I'm sorry, that's not true.
The sound of your voice made my heart actually pitter patter and jump and wiggle. It released the butterflies and the heavens opened and I felt home. Just the sound of you voice made me feel alive again.
When our lips first touched my heart melted and became yours to mold and shape and hold.
I became someone else all the fear and stress just flew off my shoulders.
All I wanted all i could wish for is that you grace me with your love and share in my lala land of love and we could dissappear into the sunset together into forever.
The taste of your lips, the sent of your hair and the touch of your soft skin. I was yours way before I knew you. My soul and my heart yelled we are home.
That's the moment it all made sense.
Can't stop writing love words to you
They keep flowing out with such ease
Never known passion the way I do now
My heart and soul you have seized
In a moment in time back on September 7th
My whole life was forever changed
Was thinking before that very fateful day
That real love was no longer in range
From then till forever, I feel alive again
With dreams of a passionate love
The girl I've adored for eternity it seems
Has reappeared, giving my heart a shove
Shouldn't be over, our age shouldn't matter
Great romances from the distant past
Have proven that love crosses all boundaries
Should be able to feel love to the last
So I repeat can't stop writing love words
They flow from my pen with such ease
A testament to my burning love, my darling
No words more passionate than these
Stepping outside the sandbox,
Is what we all need.
I do it to escape the madness,
And from going crazy.
I need silence.
I need to feel alive again.
I need to feel strong, positive and secure.
I just need to be alone,
So I can think...
Someone has destroyed my life.
They have taken everything from me.
I'm furious because trust is broken.
Integrity is gone.
Their morality and decency is,
Non-existent in this world.
There is a remedy,
They will be judged, not by me,
But by the higher power.
Once again I feel love and warmth,
In my soul and I am strong to carry on.
I smile as I step back into the sandbox.
Can't stop writing these love words to you
They keep flowing out with such ease
Never known passion the way I do now
My heart and soul you have seized
In a moment in time back on September 7th
My whole life was forever changed
Was thinking before that very fateful day
That real love was no longer in range
From then till forever, I feel alive again
With dreams of a passionate love
The girl I've adored for eternity it seems
Has reappeared, giving my heart a shove
Shouldn't be over, our age shouldn't matter
Great romances from the distant past
Have proven that love crosses all boundaries
Should be able to feel love to the last
So I repeat can't stop writing you love words
They flow from my pen with such ease
A testament to my burning love, my darling
No words more passionate than these
I said many things not to be said,
But something slipped,
Something was forgotten,
Something was left unsaid.
If I wanted to take two steps forward,
I always took one step back,
Planned my moves,
Holding myself back.
You gave me keys to your kingdom,
Made me feel alive again,
Though the distance kept us apart,
I never felt so much closer.
With you I found myself,
Now nothing left to hide,
When our eyes meet,
nothing remains unsaid.
My heart shattered
When you shut me out
I’m trying to repair it
But there’s pieces missing
A piece remains with my late husband
Who I will love ‘til the end of time
Some pieces went with my pugs
When they crossed the Rainbow Bridge
Yet with death, there’s acceptance
Because of the finality of it
You put the remaining pieces together
In a beautiful, yet fragile mosaic
In time, you allow yourself
To feel alive again
I got too close to you
And you shattered my mosaic
Despite my best efforts to let you go
You still have a piece of my heart
I’m trying to put the pieces back together
But they just don’t seem to fit
I have come to the realization that
I am broken
I need to find the glue
To hold the remnants together
Yippee! Nothing hurts!
There's no pain anywhere
Not in my feet, not in my knees
I'm so happy, brimming with glee!
Standing up ramrod straight
I don't resemble an early primate
Squatting almost down to the ground
Perched on my head, a golden crown
Nothing hurts! Yippee!
I feel alive again, you see
And the best part, glory be --
It doesn't hurt at all when I pee...

Thanking God for small favors
Gratefully, I approach the laver
The howling wind is blowing through the trees.
Reminding me of battles that dropped me to my knees.
Physical pain is endless.No hope for a cure.
My health is failing.Its more ed up than before.
Medication has done more damage than good.
Poisoning my organs,instead of healing them like it should.
I'm so angry! What is the point of my pain?
My soul is dying.I long to feel alive again.
My emotions stir up painful memories.
Dark thoughts invade my fantasies.
My inner demons are winning this fight.
I feel so worthless.That is why I write.
Chemicals in my body bring me closer to death.
Time is a clock ticking with every breath.
If the moon lights up the darkness
Let all scars be healed from pain
Let the stars shine in acid rain
I want to feel alive again

(Fact not fiction)
A defaced Ghost wonder in the Earth.
That died years ago in the year of BC
I think she's trying to make her presence be Know.
Even though her death was sort of mystery.
She try to utilize image of others for attention.
For she wants to feel alive again.
Her body and her defaced skin is in a French museum.
Oh!! Yes of course I read about her, out of curiosity.
I do not wish to be touched by her.For she is one of a kind,
So! much respect.
He story life was soothing and ended in nightmare.
Why do I feel the undereducated trying to make me become her.
Our Name do not match not even by identity nor history.
For it's an insult to humanity and religion for this shouldn't be a confusion at all.
(This is base on saint Mary)
I have awoke love, from my slumber inside the carriage house so unkind my body longs for summer to awake and feel alive again true an old road now i travel with friends lost along the way i search for the spirtually fit a man, a women, a sign. with the uncertainty still there from the many failed before feel the fear i replace it with faith and embrace honor above all .
If I was brought a skeleton,
the reanimated ghost.
Then he could feel alive again,
and to long full lives we would toast.
With cups full of red champagne,
unnatural reality at its most.
Watch as the unforsaken host,
bangs upon his bones.
Understand the wicked in our ways,
of being semipro’s.
Standing up for those unable,
feeling appreciation grow.
Then disabling the thoughts of man,
say my name three times, if you can.
You see, I hold faith in things unseen,
that live in shadow and in between.
One day the rain will all be over,
and the pain will just start to be seen.
