Theresa Foley Poem
He's beside me when I'm lonely.
He hears me when I cry.
This lonesomeness inside me; often times, it's hard to hide.
Hush now don't you worry.
Please wipe those tears away.
Tis I who stands beside you, each night and everyday.
Know I have always been there.
Not once were you alone.
Twas I whose walked beside you, wherever you may roam.
Tis I whose voice your hearing.
The one who guides those home, whenever they are lost.
Please hush now don't you worry.
Please wipe those tears away.
His voice I trust and listen, for it never fades away.
Those words they bring me comfort, each night and everyday.
Please now, won't you listen?
For these words he's had me write:
He is there when you are lonely.
He has always heard your cries.
The lonesomeness inside you; yes he knows, it's hard to hide.
Please now, won't you listen?
Put aside your foolish pride.
Open up your heart to hear him and all he has to say.
Don't you know he stands beside us, each night and everyday.
It is him whose always been there.
Not once were you alone.
Twas him whose walked beside you, wherever you had roamed.
Tis his voice you have been hearing.
The one who guides us home, whenever we are lost.
Know he will always hear you, even when you think he won't.
Hush now don't you worry.
Please wipe your tears away.
His voice; if one trusts and listens, will never fade away.
Let his words now bring you comfort, each night and everyday.

Theresa Foley Poem
These thoughts.
These thoughts, within my head.
Must they fill me with this dread?
Angry, distant, always resistant.
Tired, weary, and so dreary.
Loathsome, fearful, oh so tearful.
Always these thoughts, these thoughts within my head.
How does one suffer this much dread, all from thoughts within my head?
Calling, calling with a mocking.
Dizzy, swirling, starts the rocking.
Tipping, tripping, knocking over.
Tell me please, when will my mind sober?
These thoughts, these thoughts within my head.
I want them gone and wish them dead!
These thoughts, oh the thoughts, all of them within my head.
Taunting, haunting, damn this dread!
Hush now, shush now, do not speak.
Settle down my child, please don't weep.
I am here, close your eyes and go to sleep.
This voice, I heard.
His voice, I sought.
Warmth and comfort arose of the words which were spoken.
These thoughts, oh these thoughts.
No longer they choke.
All because of his words, the ones that he spoke!
Happy and joyful.
Ecstatic and red.
Giddy, excited, I sprang from my bed.
Uplifted, laughing, and smiling?, he said.
Those thoughts, those thoughts, the ones in your head.
Are they gone? Those thoughts that caused such a dread?
Yes, they are gone.
Father, from your words, they have fled, they have fled!
My child, know with me, one suffers no affliction.
Those thoughts, those thoughts that filled your head.
They were the demons that caused such dread.
Your anger and distance, offered them little resistance.
Draining, tiresome, weary and dreary.
Loathsome, fearful, always so tearful?
My child, this devils sure fed you an earful.
Devil? What devil? I thought they were demons?
Hush now, shush now, they are one of the same.
It was him who was mocking, it is him whose to blame.
Such thoughts are like fire and yours set him a flame.
Now you see, now you see, this was all part of his game!
Most assuredly, Father.
For they fled from the one, the one who sent us his son.
His son who was sacrificed, to save us from sin.
Come child, go forth.
Spread this healing to all those who'll listen.
These words I have written, they came from within.
And within lies none, only but him.

Theresa Foley Poem
Your such a crook.
You wrote the book.
One look was all it took.
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun.
Knew then it was time to run.
Been under your spell for almost a year.
Thought love was a trip 'til the day I fell.
How this all happened is anyones guess.
My life's been turned into a wonderful mess.
When our eyes meet, my heart triples its beat.
Already told you how I feel.
Whats the deal, can't you see I'm for real?
Come what may, its impossible to say.
Thinking about you each and everyday.
Caught the bug, its one hell of an addictive drug.
My hearts rhythm is true, don't go making me blue.
What else is there to say except, I love you.
Come on take a risk, why not give me a chance?
On the road to romance, grab my hand and lets dance.
Give it time and you will see.
The two of us are surely meant to be.

Theresa Foley Poem
He broke my heart today.
Today is the day he let me walk away.
What else is there to say?
He put our love to rest this day.
I offered him my trust, he threw it away.
It hurts me to know it has to end this way.
I fell for him at the drop of a dime.
I found myself fond of him in so little time.
Thought he was the one I had been waiting for.
My professions of love he would always ignore.
From me, he only wanted friendship and sadly nothing more.
It killed me to know this, for ‘tis him I adore.
This pang in my chest it has grown terribly sore.
How could he pain me, the love I long for?
Each night I lay awake with a heavy sigh.
Fight it as much as I might, eventually it is lonely tears that I cry.
Lord sometimes I swear it makes me want to die.
Wish someone could tell me why, it’s become so hard to say goodbye.
I’m not the one he wants, and I don’t know why.
I want so badly to make him see, with me is where he’s supposed to be.
How can anyone be so blind?
His rejection has tied my heart in a bind.
True love has never been this hard to find.

Theresa Foley Poem
In his eyes, I am a rag.
Dirty and unclean.
Angered and mean.
Lost yet unseen.
Walked the wrong path.
Hid from his wrath.
Thought life was a joke.
This heart had been broke.
Slowly it began to choke.
Could not handle things no more.
Inside I grew sore.
It was time, I wanted more.
Those tears that I cried, no longer able to hide.
'Set aside your pride!', he exclaimed.
Let go of the blame.
I am here.
Give me your shame.
I'll release you from the pain.
I gave my life on a cross.
It was my father's will, I suffered no loss.
This I did for all of you.
Seek with your heart and know these words are true.
When I fell to my knees, it was then that I knew.
Tears filled my eyes and I shouted, 'I believe that it's you!'
Warm smile and a laugh.
Come, he said with glee,'you now belong with me.'

Theresa Foley Poem
Not meant For me:
Go ahead and break my heart.
Rip and tear my world apart.
Shatter all my hopes and dreams.
While your at it why not shoot down all my crazy schemes.
Stomp and kick me when i'm down.
In your eyes i'm just a clown.
Put me down and make me cry, does it make you feel good inside?
Is this what I deserve? I wonder why?
Done with all this hurt and pain, thought you were the one oh what a shame.
Tired with all your words of abuse.
I would run away but whats the use.
Please just stay away from me.
I won't take this no more, can't you see?
I'm only warning you once, now leave me be.
The time has come to set me free.
Its plain to see your not meant for me.

Theresa Foley Poem
Thought you were the one for me.
Guess maybe we're not destined to be.
Tried so hard to make you see, how very much you meant to me.
Put my heart out on the line.
Sad to say its been shot down nearly every time.
Late each night I stay up and cry.
I wish and pray and wonder why as I stare up at a darkened sky.
Will I ever be more than just your friend?
Not sure how much longer I can pretend.
Its becoming harder to hide this pain.
I'm so tired of the day to day strain.
My heart won't simply let things be, its persistent just like me.
Should you ever fall for me, guess now only time will see.

Theresa Foley Poem
No longer will I think of you
I said it so it must be true
No longer will I think of you
Not at random nor in the blue
No longer will I think of you
I remind myself once each days through
No longer will you cross my mind and tie my heart into a bind
It will not happen, not this time
No longer will I wait for you
To thy own heart I must be true
No longer will I wait for you
Please understand it's me not you
No longer will I wait for you
This does not mean our friendships through, lord knows we met in middle school
No longer can I wait for you to return those feelings I once knew
I can no longer wait for you
I'm sorry to say this but it seems we're finally through

Theresa Foley Poem
Don't cheat on me.
I am a jealous man.
Those words, I heard.
Did not understand.
Scared and confused.
In fear, I ran.
'Woman, why do you flee?', he asked softly.
This voice that spoke, it frightened me.
Was I crazy? Who knows?
My eyes were blind.
I could not see.
'Go away from me!', was all I screamed.
Hurt and afraid.
From him, I strayed.
Who was this man?
What did he want?
'Woman, open your eyes', he called to me.
'No!', I refused.
I do not know of what I'll see.
My children, I protect.
No harm will come.
Unsure what to say.
I turned him away.
Not far from my side.
He always would stay.
Tired and weak.
His voice, I now seek.
' I am still here', of this he assured.
Open your eyes and see.
A child of mine.
Thats what you all are.
It is I, you have heard.
Go forth.
Spread the word!
Happy and joyful.
His grace, I now see.
Loudly I proclaim,'it is he! It is he!'
Search for yourself.
Give it time, you shall see.
All that he wants, is for us to believe.
