Pain

Lost in life,
In an attempt at success,
Total confusion with every breath i take,
Living in an up kind of mood can be so, so memorising.

While living through a down is so, so much more horrifying,
Time wait's for nobody and doesn't slow my heart,
It still beat's as my blood flow's through my cold, cold body.

We all choose a path in life,
Mine was misery,
Since i made that choice everything else is history,
My mind throbbing with doubt,
Numb with so, so much pain.

That choice so, so long ago,
Left me filled with so much shame,
If i am so happy,
And destined to so many great thing's,
Then why am i in so much pain?

Lies

You said that you loved me,
That i was the one for you.

You promised to stay forever,
Not a single word was true.

You dragged my feelings on the ground,
Ripped my soul apart.

You killed all my happiness,
And stabbed me through the heart.

Now all that's left is pain,
The agony in my soul.

I can't believe you lied to me,
My love for you did fool......

He's Mine and I'M His

I love him and he love's me,
He's the guy i want to be with forever.
He make's me feel like i'm floating on cloud nine,
And make's me believe in happily ever after.

This is the guy who hold's my heart,
Because with him it'll never fall apart.
I trust him and he trust me,
Me and him were truly meant to be.

He's been waiting for me since forever,
And iv'e been waiting too.
Now that were together,
Make's me realize that i'm sooo in love with him.

I'm proud to call him mine,
He'll always have my heart.

He's my forever,
And i hope he know's this.
I'm proud to call him mine,
And i'm proud to be his.

I love him sooo much!!!
I fall deeper in love with him everyday.
When he kiss's me,
He leaves me breathless and without anything to say.

He's mine,
And i'm his.
I say "i'm his"
And he say's " i'm her's"

Mother In-Law

I just wanted to take the time
To thank you for all you do,
Through the up's and down's
The hard time's you've helped us through
You have helped me in way's,
You'll never know.
The void in me you have filled
Something's i was missing in my life
Some of the values that you instilled
Your's was the voice of reason
When i would have sworn i was right.
No matter how i fought it
You have helped me to see the light
You're just like the northern stars
A beacon when i feel lost
A strong shoulder we have leaned on
No matter what the cost
You stepped up and made me feel
Like one of your own
I know you didn't have to
And because of that i have grown
You gave more than you had to
And i can't thank you enough
So thank you for just being there
When life feed's so tough.

I Am Shrinking

I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am dwindling away,
And i hardly need to tell you this is not a normal day.
Now i'm smaller than a pickle,
Than a pencil,
Than a prune,
And it's patently apparent i will vanish very soon.
I am shrinking,
I am shrinking,
I am smaller than a bean,
And unless there's a reversal,
I will exit from the scene.
I'm receding every second,
Now i'm smaller than a flea,
A midge,
A molecule,
And now i'm nothing to see.....

A Husband Just Like You

I just want you to know
You mean the world to me,
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly.

The many thing's you've done,
All the time's that you were there,
Helps me know deep inside How much you really care.

Even though i might not say,
I appreciate all you do,
Richly blessed is how i feel
Having a husband just like you.

Trust Me With Your Heart

Why does your heart grow doubtful dear?
Tense and beating,
Full of fear.
I keep with me your everlasting love,
And bless the day GOD sent you from up above to me.

You remain my angel and i feel i must,
Tell you that within you,
You have my trust.
My love is the tide,
Your soul is the shore's
Together are love is the shining star's,
You have my heart,
Do i have your's?

I'll belong to you till the very end of time,
And you will always be my lover and best friend forever till the end of time and forever more.
It has been so good like this from the very first time i met and laid eyes upon you.
So darling please,
Trust me with your heart,
As i trust you forever with mine.

A Father

A father means so many things......

A understanding heart,

A source of strength and of support
Right from the very start.

A constant readiness to help
In a kind and thoughtful way.

With encouragement and
Forgiveness no matter what come's your way.

I Am

I am a paradox.
I am faithful and yet detached.
I am committed and yet so very relaxed.
I love pretty much everyone,
And yet no one.
I am sociable but also a loner.
I am gentle and also very tough.
I am passionate but,
I can also be platonic.
I am predictable in my own unpredictable ways.

We Didn'T Get To Say Goodbye

Early morning that day. We knew we should have said goodbye. But we didn't want to see you cry. We never knew we were going to die. die. Sister and I thought we would be bacback, but there was an accident, the driver was drunk, if empty bottles in the trunk. He came from nowhere, with no idea where he would end, not knowing he'd leave two young girls dead. He just wanted to have a little fun, no harm would be done. Now Sissy and I lay here as our lives pass Us by, we don't even have the strength to cry. We see your face we know you would surely cry. Mommy we're so sorry that we didn't get to say goodbye, and neither did you. We want you to know our love for you was dear. Please always know that we always have loved you so dear. And to all who loved and to all who cared, thank you and goodbye. We can hear the sirens now, but our hearts are filled with fear. It's too late, death Must Be Our Fate. So I guess our lives and here, please don't shed a tear. We love you very much and our hearts you did touch. I just wish that we would have been able to say goodbye.
