Kelly Ortega Poem
My stomach grumbled
As i smelled the aroma
I was so hungry i could have eaten my socks
I got the 2 for' special
I bought 12
As i took my first bite
it was hard to slow down
So delicious so yummy
but what are these jack in the box tacos?
Are they chicken, beef or pork. . I asked Jeeves
He laughed and he laughed
Silly girl, he said
it is pig intestines, stomach and spleens
My stomach turned sour,
shock on my face
As I turned my head
vomiting on my sleeve
I couldn't believe the violation
that had just taken place in my mouth
The only thing that made me feel better
was knowing you ate 3 more than me

Kelly Ortega Poem
Saying Whatever, Why don't you care
Why should I have bothered with you
I tried so hard without thanks
Should have made Beans and Franks
I had slaved all day
In the Kitchen
now you get
nothing
starve!

Kelly Ortega Poem
At age six, he was abused, neglected and beaten daily.
He never understood why God allowed this to happen to him.
Time will help him heal his scars and put love into his heart.

Kelly Ortega Poem
The
Day that
you were gone
I cried to the heavens
Why take the only person that
understands me away? why is life
so cruel? I don't care if there was a bigger
plan for him, I needed him here. To Be with me
Because He was my rock, my sturdy ladder.He would hold
me up when I would fall. He would wipe my tears
w hen I felt sorrow. The one person who
had always believed i could. Giving
Yet never taking in return. I cry
myself to sleep wishing
for him to return
to me be my
friend once
again

Kelly Ortega Poem
We were so close
You were always there for me
I feared nothing
When you were near
When I was little, I would fall asleep
Safe in your arms
We would joke and laugh
Til we were blue in the face
We always had so much fun
You were always so giving
Especially with your love
I could always come to you
With any problems that I had
No matter how big
No matter how small
I could never have imagined
My life without you
When you got sick
You were never afraid
You always stayed positive
And never cried a tear
'Dont worry about me' you once said
'Worry about the ones that I shall leave behind'
I didn't go to your funeral
Funerals are for people to say good-bye
And remember great times
I already said my good-byes when you were still alive
And I dont have to remember because I will never forget
I still can't believe that you are gone
I keep thinking that I can just pick up the phone
And I would hear your voice on the other end
I will miss christmas the most
When your visits were long
We would laugh and reminisce
Of all the crazy things our family has done
You were a great person
That I was truly privelaged to know
And even more privelaged to call you my Uncle
I love you, My Dear Uncle Manuel
The memories I have of you,
Not even cancer can take away. . . .

Kelly Ortega Poem
I don't remember much
the day that I died
But the things that I do
are still fresh in my mind
like venom
in my veins
First the sting
Then the sweet
as I took my ride
like I always did
the spinning,the whirling, the constant
Even though it was the same
Yet different ever time
remembering the first
forgetting the last
I would hold onto the sounds
as I let go of the light
My mind so clear
yet filled with confusion
Why even bother to fear
something you cannot change
In truth
I didn't want it to change
My breathing grew shallow
My eyes became slated
the darkness crept in
as it always did
on this journey
That I took many times
This time was different
the light did not return
no headache to welcome me back to reality,
just dark in my eyes.
No white light
no shiny gates
no one
alone
I had left this world
just as I had entered it.
the day that I died

Kelly Ortega Poem
You blamed me
For how things ended
Never taking responsibility
for your part
After we parted
your behavior turned rancid
sex with strangers, drugs and anger
Now you are getting married
to someone you have dated for 2 months
Even though we were together for 5 years
You got angry with me, when I asked you to marry me
Even if I wanted to be with you again
After the things you did
It justified the end
Never again will I hold you close
Always a spot in my heart
I will hold for you
But you will never have the whole
It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do
To say good-bye to the one that i still loved
I was more lonely being with you
Then I ever was without you
Im better without your poison within me
It hurt, but I will heal
For you are the one who lost, and you can never have it again
