Brenna

A bright ball of energy
A beaming smile with love
This little blessing from God
Who gives the biggest hug
The cutest little giggle
The cutest little toes
When she walks into the room
Everyone knows
The joy and delight that you bring
Just by being who you are
Even singing over and over and over
Twinkle, twinkle little star
You are my heart and soul
I hope I never let you down
Who am I talking about
My daughter, the most beautiful little girl in town

Just Not Enough

Why did you leave me
Was my love not enough
I can’t stop these tears from coming
Even though I’m trying to be strong, be tough
I still miss you, your touch, so much
But at the same time I hate you so
I wish I could just pack up everything
And without saying one goodbye, just go
But I have no life without you
Even though I am without you in my life
Will happiness ever find me
Like it did when I was your wife

No More Sunshine

Opened the curtains today
All I saw was gray
The weatherman said
There would be sunshine today
But not for me
It’s gray everyday in my heart
Ever since that day
The day you tore us apart

To My Love

You’ve broken my heart
You’ve broken my soul
You used your hugs and kisses
And all of the lies that you told
The promises that you made to me
Are now dust in the wind
Look at all of my broken pieces
How can I ever love again
I have nothing left to give
I have no love in my heart to share
It’s a hollow, empty shell
A home that’s walls are bare
Nothing lives here now
Cobwebs are forming thick
No flame can ever burn 
In a candle without a wick
I hope you’re happy now
I hope this pain you’ll never know
Because now I live day to day
Until God says it’s my time to go

Thank You

Everything is spiraling
Nothing solid to grab onto
I’ve lost my faith in people
To him, I say thank you
I feel like I’m losing control
Like everything is falling apart
There’s a hollow, empty feeling
In place of my heart
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know how to feel okay
I feel like I can’t breathe
I want it all to go away

Fear

The tears I cry
I can not hold back
I try so hard
But courage I lack
I’m scared

I Will Be Free

I won’t let you break me
I won’t let you win
I won’t let you hurt me
I wont let you crush my soul again
I have let you go 
I have released you 
I will breathe again
I will know a love that’s true
Not the lies that you told
Not the pain you left me with
A love that’s divine
A love that’s truly a gift 
A love I deserve
A love that deserves me
A love that lifts me
A love that sets me free
I will be free again
