Melissa Farrow Poem
I can not hope, I dare not dream
I should not speak, for I might scream
So full and yet so empty, this hole I have in my heart
Too weak to hold it together, so tired of falling apart
Memories of the sunshine and a time when I could smile
Was it really so much better then, or was I in denial?
Now I am numb-lost inside myself-and I can't see the light
Where is my will to keep going? Where is my strength to fight?
Never truly feeling at peace, no matter how hard I try
Never truly forgiving myself for letting my life pass me by
What's left to hold on to? I feel like I've already let go
How do I accept the loss of the me I used to know?

Melissa Farrow Poem
Out of the Darkness
Out of the darkness, we have emerged. The storm has passed, the skies are clear.
From where I stand, I reach out to you, so glad that we are still here
There were moments it looked so doubtful that we would ever make our way
through
So many times we almost gave up and good times seemed so few
We reached this point, away from the negative, on a promise that outlasted a lie
We held on to something we were not sure of, but we had to try
Finally, we stand here, face to face
In the warmth of love’s embrace
Finally, we are happy, but there is also fear
And sadness in knowing that one day you won’t be here
Life is full of irony, and this love will prove it, too
I finally feel like we found our way, but now I face losing you
I try to smile and enjoy today, not letting you know I’m scared
If we are ever forced apart, will you know how much I cared?
You have become a greater love than I ever imagined you’d be
I want nothing more than to keep you, but love means setting you free

Melissa Farrow Poem
In a moment, our lives were changed; a tragic twist of fate.
My smart, strong man, on his way over; as usual, running late.
Never anticipating when I received that call
They told me you were in an accident and the tears started to fall.
Unresponsive, rushed to surgery, massive injury to your brain.
You were in a coma, on life support; but you weren’t the only one in pain.
It is almost too much to bear, you are here but you are gone.
Time passes, tears still fall; neither of us can move on.
Your recovery has been miraculous; you weren’t expected to make it through.
I see you every day; but I still miss you.
The man that could debate any topic; the man that could fix it all
That man may never come back to me; memories are getting harder to recall.
So thankful that you are still here, but I can’t help but feel this way
I miss my love, I miss my friend, I miss the man I lost that day.

Melissa Farrow Poem
Sitting here, I wonder, do you even know
That I am so much more than some place you HAVE to go?
I know that you say it’s not all about me
I may seem selfish, but I have to be
Every moment of each and every day
I face the chance of you going away
You’re in my heart, you are part of my soul
I feel like my emotions have taken control
I’m trying to hold on to each moment , in case it is the last
Regretting all the time we’ve wasted in the past
It hurts my feelings when you can’t find time to fit me in
Seems like every time I turn around, its happening again
How did I get here? So desperate for just a minute
I need to get back to being fine with life without you in it
Sitting here, I wonder, will you look back and be sad?
Will you regret the missed opportunities and the love you could have had?
I am the one now who is feeling the sting
I tell you I love you, but it doesn’t mean a thing
Sitting here, I wonder, do I even know?
Should I keep holding on, or should I let you go?
Timing is everything, but time is only a dream
The more I try to get close to you, the farther away you seem.
We may not have time to play this game of hot and cold
All I have been asking for is to have you to hold
You can’t find the time, or the will, or the way
Not for me, not for us, now we’ve lost another day
You know something that I won’t let myself see
You aren’t here now, maybe you never truly will be
I opened up to you and made myself yours to take
Now I feel this pain in my chest telling me it was a mistake
You keep drifting from me, maybe you’re letting me go
Maybe I already lost you and I’m just the last to know.
You may be trying to save me, but I’m feeling more at risk than ever before
Its time to face reality, I can’t run from it anymore.
Some fools never learn, so I find myself back here again.
Only a fool keeps playing a game they know they will never win.
Sitting here, I wonder, will you wish you hadn’t minded so much?
I was always asking to see you, longing to feel your touch.
Sitting here, I wonder, if you listen closely can you hear?
I’m whispering “don’t leave me”, as you disappear.
