Patriotic Deed

Stars shinning bright,
against the darkened midnight sky,
know that our prayers are with you,
and all hopes are flying high.

You went over there,
to protect our freedom over here,
when thinking of you,
our thoughts are sincere.

We watch things on t.v.,
they say you're no longer in danger,
yet knowing you're still there,
seems to build on the anger.

They say we have him,
right where we need,
just a little closer,
and we'll do our patriotic deed.

Losing Your Mind

Listen to me closely, 
let my words sink in deep,
I hope you think of me at night
and lose every second of sleep.

Try as you may, yet you feel as
if you're losing your mind,
telling yourself there's no one
like her on earth, I'll find.

Why you let me go, 
the reasons I'll never be sure of,
one things for certain,
you have forever lost my love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Fire Inside of Me

I'm starting my life again,
I'm starting it brand new,
I'm going to forget the day,
the very moment, I ever laid eyes on you.

You played with my mind
and you teased my broken heart,
I've come to the realization,
it's best if we're apart.

Better for my thoughts,
just better for me,
HA! you always did say
I was a selfish s.o.b.

I only thought of myself,
yet everything I did was for someone else,
there is no blaming me this time,
you brought this on yourself.

The pain that I put up with,
became more than I could bare,
all I ever wanted,
was to show that you actually care.

Finally I'm tired of asking,
baby do you love me, are you happy with me,
my body just can't take anymore,
and I'm now willing to set you free.

To the one who has your love and happiness,
and the one you give the same to in return,
yet I'm stuck trying to put out this fire inside of me,
the fire you still make burn.

Hopes and Dreams

I lay in bed every night, holding you with these thoughts in my head,
waking up every morning , wishing it was my arms holding you instead.

I waited so many years for my dreams of having you to come true,
I was so happy when finally I got to come home to you.

I sit here wishing that I could always have you near,
we were never far apart, and you would always be here.

I told myself that you were sent from the heavens above,
that God would send me this angel, to share my life and love.

Times have gone by, and all I have are these hopes and dreams,
could of beens, should of beens, and would of beens, that's all we have it seems.

My dreams of loving you, the thought of seeing our love grow,
taking the time to hold you, and your thoughts I wanted to know.

All I wanted was a chance, but you want to walk away from me,
all this love I have for you, for some reason, you can't see.

So I sit here thinking of times we could of had,
but you want to walk away, if ever times get bad.

Let Me, Let It Show

I look into your eyes, maybe then you'll see,
take this moment, let me show you what you mean to me.

I'll hold you in my heart forever, I'll never let you go,
I love you with every beat of my heart, let me, let it show.

I have so many feelings and thoughts of us caught up inside,
just let your love show baby, you have no reason to hide.

I know you're scared, but I'm asking you , please don't be,
I'll never break your heart, you've got to believe in me.

I wish I knew how you felt or what you are thinking, 
but all I see in your eyes, is our love sinking.

Lets don't let our love become part of our past,
I gave you all of me, in hopes that it would last.

Pictures Painted Perfectly

If I gave up and just walked away,
that means I would forever lose you,
I never want that to happen,
because there's a chance I may lose the kids too.

They mean the world to me,
nothing could ever really take them away,
because I hold them in my arms, in my heart,
and in memories, every single day.

Once you told me,
that true love would take us places,
it seems to me,
I'm only being led to traces.

Traces of what,
you and I used to be,
traces that slowly come together,
and the pictures painted perfectly.

The love of my life,
with his son right there,
when I look at these pictures,
it's so hard to bare.

Those two little girls,
with their hair put up tight,
who I'd take to school every morning,
and to bed every night.

Last we have the oldest,
in 13 years she's been through so much,
she understands almost everything,
but yet still needs that extra loving touch.

So lets look back on the past,
in pictures that we share,
let's put this family back together,
and forever show we care.

Bed Made For Two

You have put me in my place,
I now know where I fit,
you've told me over and over,
that here is not it.

I belong somewhere else,
in someone else's arms,
far away from you,
where to me will come no harm.

Was I in someones way,
did I keep her from you,
I can't believe this is how you treat me,
as good as I was to you.

I came to you and 
my heart was on my sleeve,
I told you that I love you,
and you said you'd never leave.

My feelings are never fading,
these feelings I have for you,
it's so hard sleeping alone at night,
in this bed made for two.

Voices are calling me,
screaming in my head,
reminding me of you,
and the hurtful things you said.

Only you can console my heart,
and break it again never,
but obviously this pain and doubt
are going to keep me down forever.

I Try

I try to make you happy,
yet you say you don't want me here,
and by now you should have
made yourself, more than perfectly clear.

I try to get close to you,
yet you constantly push me away,
I need you with me forever,
I can't live without you for one day.


I don't know what else I can say,
that I haven't already said before,
maybe if I had your strength,
then I could walk out the door.

I do everything I can for you,
yet you want nothing to do with me,
but I'll continue giving you my heart,
because I couldn't bare to set you free.

Till the Day Day I Die

Your love I beg you for, almost everyday,
only to be denied, in almost every way.

You could care less if I stay, or if I go,
so why do I continue to let my love show?

In my heart I know I'm the last thing on your mind,
still I can't let you go, because someone else I'm scared you'll find.

Till the day I die, I'll always be faithful to you,
I try my best to prove my love is true.

You say you wanted someone to trust and raise this family,
here I am, put all your love into me.

Unfinished Perfection

Our love was left empty,
broken, bruised, and battered,
my heart was taken for granted,
left lonely, cold, and shattered.

I go back to the times,
when I was in your arms so tight,
holding me as we sleep,
until the morning light.

I thought we were meant to be,
a 12 year friendship, 
with a certain connection,
it only took 2 years to prove me wrong,
and begin unfinished perfection.

If I had a choice,
I'd do it all over again,
even if you include
all the pain I held within.
