Cherish

Have you ever known someone,

Who's soul is so unique

Who's smile makes your day

and presence makes you weak

 

Who can ALWAYS make you laugh

But understands when you must cry

Who knows just what ur thinking

From just one look in your eye

 

Who's always right on point

And you don't have to say a word

Who listens with their heart

When ur needing to be heard

 

The only one to "get it"

when u make ur corny jokes

Who LOVES when u act silly

And adores the poems u wrote

 

The one that is ur biggest fan

And always boosts u up

When ur feeling down and out

They feel it in their gut

 

Thats when u get a call

offering joy & love & praise

They remind u of who u are

When ur lost, confused, and dazed

 

If you've EVER known that someone

That Im speaking of tonight

Dont EVER let them go

I suggest u hold on tight

 

Cherish every moment

And cling to every word

Take in all that they're giving

Give back the good u learn

 

Above all, make sure u tell them

they made ur world a better place

Because tomorrow's never promised

And today can be erased

 

Should something ever happen

and that NEXT chance never comes

You wont have to wonder if they knew

Cause you've expressed to them ur love.........

Last Breath

What do i do-when every thought of you-reminds me of what could have been 


There's nothing i have-that i wouldn't give-to feel you and hold you again


Late nights i wake up-looking around me-hoping to see that you're there 


But when i realize you're gone-and im still all ALONE-im angry that life's so unfair 


There are a thousand tears-and they're drowning my soul-im screaming and dyeing inside 


Memories are torchure -and i CANT escape them-it feels like im losing my mind 


I swear i can hear you-you speak to me softly-gently you whisper my name


Is that you that i feel-standing behind me-i feel like im going insane 


You say I'll ALWAYS feel you-that im safe in your arms-that you love me-and you're not 
afraid 


But i cant stop my tears-they continue to flow-and sweetly you kiss them away 


I just CANT UNDERSTAND-i searched for SO long-and JUST when i found you at last 


You were taken away-in the blink of an eye-forever making our future the past 


Now im left here without you-and i feel so alone-im empty and hollow inside 


When they took you from me-they took half of my soul-with you the hope in me died 


And EVERYONE says that im lucky-that i left your house when i did 


But if i could turn back time-and do it again-id have stayed despite what was said 


I would have been there beside you-standin united-as you were looking head on at death 


I would have been there to hold you-to tell you i love you-and to forever TAKE IN YOUR 
LAST BREATH ..........

Almost

I had forgotten what it was like to be understood

I forgot what it was like to feel good

I almost lost all that I am

because he almost had me

 

I had forgotten what it was like to be heard

I forgot how it felt to be loved in return

I almost lost the woman I am

because he almost had me

 

I had forgotten how it felt,not to be hurt

I forgot what it was like to trust someones word

I almost lost my mind and my soul

because he almost had me

 

But I figured out how to let go of the past

I pulled myself free from the stregth of his grasp

I let it all go and grew strong again

and I know now....He'll NEVER have me

Done

I loved you SO much

That I STOPPED loving ME

I gave you my ALL

Yet you STILL couldn't see

 

Who I really am

And what Im all about

How down for you I was

You were ALWAYS full of doubt

 

Not seeing how good I was

You always called me names

Tramp & SLUT & WHORE

Were words you threw in rage

 

A rage that was UNJUST

That I DID NOT deserve

When ever you were mad

You stabbed me with your words

 

Always pissed off @ something

You made up in your head

There were MANY times I cried @ night

As we lay there in our bed

 

But you didn't even care

You were slowly KILLIN me

The more you held me down

The less that I could breath

 

You took away my pride

I felt less than who I am

You put me down & when I cried

You didn't give a damn

 

And then the day you broke me down

You destroyed all that I had

You laughed in my face @my pain

It made you happy that I was sad

 

I opened my eyes and took a look

At who and what Id become

I straightened my shoulders &lifted my head

The day had finally come

 

It was over I was done

I can do bad on my own

I turned my back and walked away

And left you all alone

 

And when YOU cried & screamed MY name

You begged me not to go

I blocked it out and caught my breath

Then I walked out the door........
