Reyna Martinez Poem
The clouds above me darken, as I sit here reminiscing about my past.
It's a challenge to invest in and build relationships that are not meant to last.
Some memories are pleasant, others not so much.
Recalling your last touch.
Indeed, I'm trying to learn from my mistakes.
No matter how long it takes.
I've seen it all before, we've decided to go our separate ways.
In a matter of minutes, in a season of rage, the decision is given.
Shall we find it in our hearts to one day, be forgiven.
How did we get here, replacing hate with love?
Touching the sky above.
Unknown it is to me, the fantasy of a happy ending.
Maybe we were both pretending.
It all only exists in fairytales, played during innocence.
I no longer have a guilty conscience.
We both failed, each other, staying out of convenience.
Yes, people experience pain and love, at times, together.
But today I realize that nothing, lasts forever.

Reyna Martinez Poem
I've walked through the darkest deserts and valleys, throughout my life.
Here I am still standing, after strife.
Forgiven, a second chance.
Losing it all in a split second, at first glance.
What is the reason for so much pain?
In the end, is it all in vain?
Maybe we are not meant to understand everything.
Unable to erase anything.
Forbidden tears, clueless for years.
Its difficult not to react emotionally, during this fight.
To be angry and disappointed, the cause of my plight.
At times wishing to give up once and for all.
Before every fall.
No more sorrow, hoping for a brighter tomorrow.
Its hard to have self control, what I said, I now regret.
Sometimes wondering why we met.
I'm grateful for my children, they're an endless blessing.
In the middle of this gray and cloudy day, not stressing.
I receive what I cannot see, only by faith, every time.
For I only have one life, and its mine.
Betrayal should be a crime.
Lifting my head up today.
Even if it doesn't go my way.
No longer caring about what people say.

Reyna Martinez Poem
I saw you in the middle of my darkness.
When all I had ever known was pure loneliness.
During a season of my life when I had no one by my side---
I found you and I had no where left to hide.
Like a fresh breath of air was your essence of peace and kindness.
Then I discovered God's faithfulness.
So I decided to embrace it, despite my own fears of betrayal from my past.
I thought, this is too good to be true, and it won't last.
Maybe this was my last chance, to escape my past, and to begin healing for my future.
After living so many years in endless torture.
As I sit here, I recall those challenging days, but I didn't realize until now, that I had God all along.
He helped me stay strong.
There is hope for the brokenhearted.
Don't believe the lies of the enemy, that's why he has departed.
A fresh chapter has now started.
For me the trials and tribulations of my history, no longer remain a mystery.
And here I am to say that you can begin again.
Surviving through my endless river of tears and pain.
From these words I can't refrain.
For my healer, my God's words, shall in my soul remain.

Reyna Martinez Poem
A pen standing still
Rescued by the movement of my hand
Unable to speak a word
Until the ink flows on paper.
Having no life of its own
As I grasp it to create an everlasting story
Ready to express what I cannot say
Making its mark on the world for eternity.
Expressing my thoughts on paper
Solid metal finding it's voice
Black lava flowing at the speed of light
Coming together to create a symphony.
At last I find true happiness, without saying a word.

Reyna Martinez Poem
Isolation is a choice,
After being disrespected, taken for granted, I cannot rejoice.
Evil is like poison rotting the soul, from the inside out.
Full of anger, rage and doubt.
What is this fight really about?
Behind your professed love, no meaning, no touch.
I miss the honesty from the past so much.
Maybe this is temporary, just a season of trials and lessons to be learned and activated.
In the afterlife, I'm free, after being reincarnated.
There are words you cannot take back.
Not falling off track.
I need to renew my self love and self respect.
A lie I can no longer detect.
Its a shame to be so misunderstood.
Living in a hidden, unknown neighborhood.
Not being able to speak my truth,
Consequences from my youth.
I'm tired of putting so much effort into something that may not last.
Trying not to repeat the mistakes from my past.
Feeling as if I'm going to lose my mind.
Refreshed, awake, only wishing to unwind.
Trying to leave it all, behind.

Reyna Martinez Poem
Life is a puzzle that comes with its challenges and trials each day.
No matter what happens, I know that God hears what I have to say.
Its not always going to be my way.
I have a right to be angry and frustrated.
Yet not depressed and isolated.
Indeed fear can close many doors, for the unknown is not comfortable.
For there are many wars within the soul that can make you unstable.
No one can fight this battle for me, my character will prevail in this desert, one day at a time.
Defending my offspring is not a crime.
A positive attitude is a choice, even when you don't want to rejoice.
Maybe its all meant to serve a bigger purpose that I can't comprehend right now.
I believe by faith, in a precise moment, it will all fall into place somehow.
Pain is meant to help you grow, especially when you don't have all the answers, for all you want to know.

Reyna Martinez Poem
As I sit here reminiscing about the past.
I realize that some things are just not meant to last.
Sometimes I wish we never met.
But then again, I know that life is full of disappointments, and I can't live with regret.
I have to move on and stand firm in my faith, no matter what they say.
I am grateful for another day.
Looking for peace within my heart.
After it has been torn apart.
Its hard to imagine a fresh start.
In fact, I know that happiness and joy will find me again.
No matter the amount of pain.
From these words I can't refrain.
What do I have left to gain?
Endless sorrow, looking forward to a brighter tomorrow.
Maybe it was all meant to end, this way, my dear friend.
There's no shame in failure, I will begin again, after your departure
Lessons learned, strength prevailed, hope not lost.
Not giving up, at a high cost.
Nothing lasts forever.
And that's why some people are not meant to stay, together.

Reyna Martinez Poem
My heart melts, when you caress my face.
As I recall our last embrace.
An angel fell from grace.
I feel as if I'm floating in outer space.
Nobody wants to be alone.
I'm thankful for your love.
Time is of the essence, precious, irreplaceable, after its gone.
Your love for me was indeed sent from above.
Life is a gift, and we only get one chance, to live it, without wasting time.
I'm grateful you are mine.
And even though we met in an unusual place.
Our love sees no boundaries, no colors, no race.
I speak the truth while I sit here next to you, as you have fallen asleep.
My love for you runs deep.
Maybe I don't say this as often as I should.
But I would give you the world if I could.
We've been through it all and here we stand.
Entwined together, united, please don't ever let go of my hand.
And as the day turns into night,
I know that by your side, my love, everything will be all right.

Reyna Martinez Poem
There are things that were never said.
After this loss is inexplicable, heart wrenching, sad.
Nobody expected you to vanish, to leave us behind.
I'm just looking for an outlet, for a way to unwind.
All that's left are pictures, memories.
Recalling the last time I saw your face, deserted, I sit here as my soul cries.
Being alive is a gift---
I want to remember your existence, and use it to uplift.
My heart is split into a million pieces after your loss.
Things will never be the same, and God only knows what I will come across.
Time is too precious to waste, don't let it slip.
I wish I didn't have to take, this melancholic trip.
Until we meet again in the afterlife.
I will celebrate you with my actions, throughout my life.
Overbearing it is, this deep, unforeseeable sorrow.
Realizing that there is no promise, of waking up again, tomorrow.
