Guardian Angel

Today my heart is hurting
As tomorrow you wont be there.
I didnt know you were going 
Or i would have been there to care.

I hope you are at peace now
In heaven up above.
If only i could have saved you with my unconditional love.

A piece of my heart went with you
on that very day. Its never been the same, but i hope you hear me pray.

For I think of you often, i speak up to you each day. The laughs and the memories of you will never fade away. 

You meant the world to me
Perhaps i never let you know but when i see you again you will, as it is the first thing i will show.

I know when it is my turn my heart will ease to see the light.
As i dream of hugging you again and holding you so tight.

Our story didnt finish
That wasnt a goodbye.
But merely i must go for now.
I will watch you from the sky.

To know you are my angel guarding over me, brings me comfort every day.
But i still wish you were here with me.

Written with love

Find Strength To Carry On

Although the days seem dark
There's still light there within 
You may not see it shinning now
While your feeling pretty dim 
But believe that people see you 
shinning just like a star
So instead of drifting off 
Please stay here where you are..

If people only knew 
The pain you were going through
I'm sure everyone would hug you 
To remove your feeling blue

If only you could see yourself
The way others do
Perhaps it would be enough 
To cure that feeling blue 

Your special in many eyes
And loved so very true
So if today's a tough day 
Read this to pull you through 

Life can be a battle 
I'm battling here now too 
But let's fight back together 
If I can you can too

Life is worth the living
It's precious through and through
If you can not see it now
Believe what I say is true 

Tomorrow can be so different 
If you hold on you will see
Tomorrow is a blessing 
For both you and me

Dark Days

My days seem so dark now 
I'm struggling to find some light
But I know it's not forever
I know I need to fight 

I'm lost within myself 
Wallowing in my own dispare
But when i look to the mirror 
I know that strong girls still there 

Today has been a tough one
Iv made some big mistakes
But tomorrow I'm going to learn from it
I'm looking for some faith.

My strength hasn't left me 
I'm not weak like I believe 
Life is trying to teach me
That we walk on cobble streets.
The path isnt smooth
It's not an easy ride 
But it does bring us strength 
Which will then lead to our pride
Be proud of who you are
All of the time
Struggling after all is not a sort of crime.

Sometimes we just need to pause 
To take a little time 
Let our minds clear the mist
So we can see the clearer sites.

Emotional Instability Disorder

Sometimes I am on a high 
Other times on a low
I never know what personality i will show.

Some days I don't know what's happening to me 
I don't feel myself but what could this feeling be ?

Iv searched for so long 
It's really draining for me
Trying to find answers for this iratic side of me 

I feel bat sh*t crazy 
This effects me a lot
My days can be hazy 
My nerves become shot.

But when I am good 
I am high like the sky,
Life feels amazing,
I chat to everyone passing by

Next day I could wake
Feeling so gloom
It makes me feel like the elephant in the room.

So many sides of me 
It can be tough to relate 
Who am I?
What's happening?
Why am I in such a state

This isn't me nor who I want to be
I just want to be normal 
Like I felt I used to be.

To the Man In Baywatch Gear

To the man i met in spain 
By the pool in baywatch gear
I could never have imagined
Wed create a life so dear...

I would catch you gazing over
But i was blindly unaware
Of the connection between us
That was clearly there.

The holiday was short
We only shared a little while 
But in those short moments 
You always made me smile.

You made me feel so safe 
But i was blind to see
That you the man in baywatch gear
Was infact the man for me.

The holiday was over 
We went our seperate ways 
But i had no idea wed speak
to each other from that moment,
every single day.

Our connection grew stronger
But in miles we were far apart
We began to lose touch 
The distance got too much 

Shortly down the line
I moved back home
Our lifes were so different then
But unbeknown to us 
That connection had never gone 

We had no idea 
Our hearts would reconnect 
When i stumbled across you 
Living opposite my doorstep 

We began chatting yet again 
You asked me on a breakfast date 
I cant describe that moment other
than true fate.

We were meant to be together 
Now its so clear to see 
As i could never imagine me without you 
Or you without me.

The Gambler

The gambler

It fills my body with heat
From my head to the bottom of my feet
An urge so strong
I know its wrong.
But it takes control of me.

I can go in with my purse full
I leave with nothing but guilt
It eats me alive, knocks me ill
But that drive for more never leaves me.

Everything iv got i put in
Then sorrow eats me alive 
when i dont win

Why do i do it to myself
It kills my mental health
Why can i not just quit?
I make myself worse with this sh*t

The colours are bright 
Each spin lures you in
Your chasing a win
That never comes in

Its not worth the stress i put myself under
For the sake of a 5 second wonder
Because even if i win i put it back in
And im back to square one.

I never thought this would be me
I never knew this addictive part was inside me.

Now iv had enough
I know it will be tough but im done with it all 
Im leaving it to flee to be gamble addiction free.

Dementia

Your looking at me 
But are you there ?
You look so lost just sat in your chair

Our hearts are breaking seeing you this way
If we could change it, believe that we would take your dementia away. 

We are grieving the loss of the man you should be.
What we should be doing, where we should be.

Each day you drift a little further away
But I hope you still realise we're with you every step of the way.

We know that your still in there.
So we will never give up, wel never stop caring or showing our love.

Your more than just you.
Your everything to us.
We're trying our best
I hope were doing enough.

Life Lessons

Life is full of lessons
At the time it is hard to see
Things don’t happen for badness
But to strengthen you and me.  

Tomorrow may seem unbearable  
Today was really rough.
Hard times don’t last forever so keep moving forward when its tough.  

Everything is to teach us
We learn as we grow.
Better days are near us  
I truly believe that is so.  

As each day finishes
Tomorrow is brand new
So re-create your story  
That ability lies with you
