Let Me Be Spared

In the hospital,in this bed
              I awake in disssmay
             ..... not wanting to face another day
                      As i am awaking i look around
             but there's not a soul to be found
   No one has called
    ...or bothers to see
          and i realize that no one cares about me
  I sit alone
             is there anyone i can phone
Only silence keeps near
.....the sting of a single tear
                      What did i do 
                 What did i say
for my life to end up this way
...My mind dosen't understand
         nothing makes sense
over whelming sadness becomes so intense
...I tried so hard to do everything right
but no peace of mind seems to be in sight
....I gave love and parts of me
my heart my soul,i gave my all
......tell me why  all i do is fall
........if i can't have all i have given and shared
....then let me go,let me be spared....

Hush

Hush my love
   as i kiss your cheek
i whisper softly and pull you near
as i wipe away a tear
         you smile with your eyes 
your hand slips into mine
my heart begins to flutter like a million butterflies
  as i hold when you fall asleep i listen carefully to your heartbeat
 knowing that my love is yours to keep
time with you is all i need
  without my heart would bleed
           i will walk with you hand and hand
moment pass by like grains of sand
  i give you my love and all of me
my promise to you
 is all i can do
i believe in us as i believe in you
 we belong together
i write these words because they are true...

Little Man

My lovely boys
          you have given me so many joys
   your little smile
              the light in your eyes
           inside my heart just sighs
           A little hand that grips so strong
i hum to you a little song
 in my arms i swat to and fro
    how much i love you so
i'll promise you, you'll always know
Each fall,each stumble
my heart dose rumble
           Little hands ,little feet
my love you are so precious and sweet
the look of wonder upon your face
 the world for you is such a big place
   Hush little one don't shed a tear
 my promise to you is that i will always be near
  as you sleep i watch over you
who will you be ,what will you do
 As your mother i will always be there
no matter what i will always care
 Things won't be easy, most will be tough
sometimes you'll say you've had enough
Many steps on your path will show you your way
but your choices will always have the final say
Be kind and gentle
maybe even a little sentimental
don't let yourself doubt
There will be a day when the boys will becomes a man
you may be strong ,as well as tall
but i will see is my little man...

Thunder

Slaps of thunder upon my face
       shades of violet cover my neck
my lowered head falls in disgrace
 Tear stained cheeks and swollen eyes
      i have listened to so many lies in disguise
a broken bone a bruised heart
   why didn't i see it from the start
blinded by the hope that someone could love me
  who you are i could not see
you,ve heard me scream ,you've heard me cry
you didn't care that i wanted to die
            because of you i can not trust ,believe or see
        i am unsure of whom i am suppose to be
i look over my shoulder all around
  so afraid of everything,even just a sound
the bruises will fade,the bones will heal
but the fear and the pain is all i feel
     you took so much away from me 
what hurts the most is you took my dignity..

Who Am I?

Who am I ,I wonder as I stare at my reflection
Glaring at myself as though I am  under inspetion
      I have tried so hard to be what everyone wanted me to be
 Hiding behind this mask,I let others see
       Lost and completely confused
 twisted and tangled worlds become fused
      I don't understand,nothing makes sense
being on guard is my only defense
        People don't want to see whats before there eyes
they would rather turn away than hear someones cries
      Don't say a word,nor make a sound
     then no one will see whats all around
Each day I walk around,like everything is okay
but the truth is I don't know if I can make it another day
       Inside I am crumbling falling apart
shattered and broken my tired heart
    My eyes fill with puddles of tears
always knowing my deeepest fears
            Always in fear always afraid
     I am loosing my mind
 that is tattered and frayed
           No longer am I strong all that I am is weak
   Is there any hope left to seek ??????

As I Sleep

When i close my eyes in my bed
  another night i dream with dred
    i remember that icy cold stare
so empty and hollow that's all that's there
  I can feel my heart racing as you walk near
 i tremble with fear
       The smell of liquor and ciggerettes on your skin
whisky ,vodka,rum and lets not forget gin
   I ask over and over what did i do
because i truly don't have a clue
 Walking backwards, i am againts the wall
  my head jerks hard my face on fire
the next ones just a little higher
         I hear my hair being ripped from my head
the way you think i should be led
   Throwing my down like an old rag doll
screaming for help,no one can hear me call
Gasping for breath, gasping for hair
i see your face that dosen't care
Grasping at your hands trying to push you away
i begin to black out ,i begin to sway
        As i wake screaming please stop hurting me
 but you don't listen to my plea
Walking away i hear you say , by the way Happy Valentines Day
I jump up all soaking wet
completely drenched in sweat
             Nights are so long when your afraid to sleep
a tear trickles down as i weep...........
