A Love Almost Lost

It may not be love at first sight;
But being with you, feels so right.

Boys have come and faded away;
Love in my heart for you, now here to stay.

The grasp you have on me, a fire built inside;
Trying to break free, not letting the flames hide.

Looking back on almost losing you, I realize true emotions take time;
Love is such a wonderful experience, so why treat it like a crime?

Words Mean So Little

I sometimes get lost in the words I say to you;
What I feel in my heart is too difficult to sort through.
You often try to believe that you understand what I mean;
Truth of it all is, my words are not what they seem.

When I say that I love you and although that is right;
Alone in my bed, is how I would be every night.
It really means that if I lost you, I would break down and cry;
The pain of you being gone, would be too much to hide.
I know that I always say "I miss us spending time together."
Hoping you realize I want to have you forever.

When I say I give up, there is nothing left to mend;
In the back of my mind, I never want this to end.
When you say hurtful things, that are way out of line;
I don't say what I mean, I just tell you I'm fine.

I occasionally say to you that our love is not meant to be;
Praying to God that when I do, you see right through me.
When you are down on one knee, asking me to be your wife;
Knowing this is what I have wanted from you, since you walked into my life.

And although I may laugh and tell you that your proposal wasn't the best;
Remember the kiss I give you, will only be me saying that I definitely mean yes.
Because baby when I say that I would die if you ever walked away;
I really do mean that without you, my heart stops beating for another day.

Don'T Forget About Me

Many things come to mind, when I start to think of you;
What a mess we have made, can't decide what to do.
The understanding of you leaving, is hard to accept;
Because the love we have, is worth being kept.

It is tough to watch a person you love walk away;
Knowing this is goodbye, leaves not much to say.
There is a fire inside of me that can't let you go;
The lingering pain, not something for show.

I wish things were different and I was the one;
Not wanting the change, but you leave and we're done.
Hurt and tears are easily hid;
Memories playing the things that we did.

Hoping you remember the moments we shared;
To know in the end, that someone cared.
When it is time for our final goodbye, I will be smiling back;
Showing my true feelings, an attribute I lack.
I will make sure everything is perfect, you can believe this;
Love is never easy, sometimes just plain bliss.

Just know I will always love you, that is not a lie;
The fight is over, we have to say goodbye.
You have to go chase what you want and leave;
Never forget and no matter how you feel, you will still mean everything to me.

A Moment Like This

You don't realize what you mean to me;
With you I'm who I want to be.
Making me laugh when I feel I'm going to cry;
Putting no pressure on anything, because you don't have to try.

I thought I could be the bigger person and watch you drive away;
But deep down, I just need you to stay.
Why is it so hard to look at you right now;
A broken heart mended, but I don't know how.

Just one stare into your amazing eyes;
Takes the fear and pain away, and hides all the lies.
You say I have no idea what you are going to miss;
Maybe I don't, but we will never get a moment like this.

Why

Sitting alone with the stars at night, all memories come into play;
Wanting something that feels so right, but pushing it all away.
Unspoken words that I should have said, telling myself I am fine;
Erasing thoughts out of my head, to keep you from my mind.

Why don't I ever let my true feelings show?
Why can't my heart let you go?
Why I can't say I will?
But in the end, I love you still.

The fairytale life every little girl dreams of;
Someone they trust and will cherish their love.
Who stayed after heartbreak, pain and tears;
A love for all times, that will last through the years.

You are not the man I thought I would fall for;
A true personality, so confident and sure.
I have to thank you for the lessons you taught me;
But even now, I know its not meant to be. 

So why I still can't let my true feelings show?
Why am I so relieved to let this go?
Why I say I won't, but have all the will?
Because in the end, I love you still.

Changes seem like a lifetime away;
A journey that stops, but you want it to stay.
Tonight hold me close, just one last kiss;
Then drive off knowing, its you I will miss.

Now I finally let my true feelings show.
How I am able to let you go.
Through the tears, pain, fight and will.
Why the love is gone, but I remain still.

Time To Shine

Your first day of school, scared half to death;
You see kids who act cool, you can't take a breath.
All the kids give you looks as you pass them by;
You go through the years and keep wondering why.
Making new friends you will never forget;
Mistakes are made, and there are some regrets.
Cruising through school, then you hit senior year;
You stop and think, you are finally here.
It comes so quickly, and it goes by so fast;
You're not ready to leave, you just want it to last.
All memories that were made, are here to stay;
All things that were spoken, never fade away.
Last week of school and finals are done;
Preparing for graduation, seems like such fun.
Senior trip is over, we have said our goodbyes;
Promising to keep in touch, while drying our eyes.
We saw it coming, it was all just fate;
Now we're going to graduate.
So grab your caps and gowns, Class of 2009.
Time to face the real world, it's our turn to shine.

You Don'T Know Her

A beautiful women on the corner of the street;
Short mini skirt, leopard print blouse, and stillettos on her feet.
Gorgeous blonde hair flowing down her back;
Too much make-up on her face and a fake tan to match.
Selling her body to guys out of town;
How foolish she looks, almost like a clown.
There is no reason for a women to justify herself that way;
Does she even realize that it's the middle of the day?
I bet she does drugs and that is why she needs the money;
Then a women beside me states, "You don't know her honey."

She is sweet as can be and has a heart full of gold;
That young girl there is only twenty years old.
Two twin girls at age seventeen she had;
A faithful husband to her, he was an amazing dad.
She got married young, but it was love at first sight;
Her husband called for duty in the middle of the night.
A phone call recieved that would change her life;
News that will break down any military wife.
Her loving husband killed in war; their future together gone.
No money for her and the kids; she needed to move on.
She does the best she can for her three-year old babies;
Only does it to support their needs; No ifs, ands, or maybes.
This woman you judge, you have no idea where her life is at;
I apologize and say, "You're right; I don't know her like that."

A Father's Day Poem

I wrote this poem for my dad for father's day.  It really meant a lot to him and I meant every word of it.  My father is always there for me no matter what and such a big part of my life. So here it is:

Dads are always there when you need them.
To talk to, to give advice;
To be the one person you need to be nice.
To laugh with, to turn to;
To hang out with, so you can figure out you.
And even though you may act as though you don't hear what they say;
Dads CAN be right, maybe, not always.
But a Dads' love will never be done;
And I know that my dad, I can always count on.

True Love

A beautiful love, you stole my heart;
Memories from the past, try to tear us apart.
Our love that is strong, lasting and true;
The way I get butterflies, just seeing you.

That someone that holds the key to my heart;
I knew that I loved you, straight from the start.
That amazing guy that sat next to me on the bus;
Never imagining there would ever be an "us."

A poem is the only way my feelings can show;
To make you realize, for you to know.
You make me smile, laugh and sometimes cry;
How you make me feel, I can't explain why.

My soulmate and true best friend;
Saying you will always be here in the end.
No one else makes me happy the way you do;
The person I want, will forever be you.

Babe we both worry and it starts a fight;
But you are the one I want next to me at night.
Trusting is hard to do, I think we both know that;
But look what we have been through, got us where we're at.

Breaking me down, something I can't bare;
The way you make me feel, when you act like you don't care.
Losing you is never the easiest way;
I don't want to argue, but what can I say.

This last thing I write, I hope it breaks through;
My one and only love, that I want and need is you.

Hate

Hate, is like Shakespeare's last sound;
A mouses' whisper, it falls to the ground.

You never know it's there, it stays and lies;
And when you catch a glimpse, it shrivels up and dies.

You don't understand, I'm not trying to feel this for you;
But even now, my emotions are so true.

Once again, my heart is going to bust;
Now there's just hate, left lying in dust.
