A Farewell Poem.

My love for you is not dying but getting stronger,
Waiting for you takes longer and longer,
No matter how many days go by,
I think of you while looking at the open sky,
Oh how I wish you were here with me,
All I need is for you to come and see,
Nothing is happening while waiting for you,
I know we sometimes regret the things we say and do,
Why oh why must I wait for you to notice,
I am changing blooming into a beautiful lotus,
I want you here,
So you can whisper in my ear,
My love is not leaving,
But a burden that is grieving,
Seeing me fly by,
I go with that look in your eyes,
Goodbye my love,
I just want to give one last hug,
When you see me lying dead in that floor,
Please oh please love me no more.

Not For Me But For You

You argue no one else does,
you can't keep peace like a dove,
the family sits in silence,
but all we need is reliance,
that you won't sit and yell,
while we all wish you well,
but what do we do for it?
just keep throwing the ball into another mitt?
I write of love and life,
while thinking of happy silent mice,
I sit and stare at walls,
thinking through it all,
I sit and try to ignore,
but it seems like trying to end the war,
I try not to cry,
but I have to lie,
to keep from crying in front of you,
and not regretting what I do,
what I've done is in my past,
so why can't we make moments last?
as I sit and write,
I'll wish with all my might,
that my dreams will come true,
not for me but for you.
