Happy Birthday My Love

Wishing on your birthday I could hand you the moon,
And be able to promise you that everything will be perfect real soon!
Wishing I could give you a handful of stars from up above,
And that I could give you everything you've ever dreamed of!
Wishing I could give you a world full of love & peace,
And that I could promise you no more worries & forever set your mind at ease!
Wishing I could give you everything you've ever dreamed of or could ever desire,
But I'm afraid all I have to give is my heart & soul with the promise it'll never-
-expire!-

Once Upon a Time

As I lay down to sleep night after night,
I find it impossible to hold in any longer the pain & tears inside!
I miss feeling your body's warmth next to mine,
As we slept holding eachother, (once upon a time!)
And oh, how I'd give my last breath to once again wake to see your handsome-
-face,-
Reassuring me that our promises to one another of being together for all of-
-eternity was still our destined fate!-

Alone

Alone, I sit here waiting for you,
Alone, as the pain tears through & through.
Alone, the feeling turns me cold & unkind,
Alone, this feeling drives me out of my mind!
Alone, nobody to hold me & nobody to love me,
Alone, this person I no longer want to be!
Alone, seems I'm nothing, no longer a wife,
Alone, makes me want no part of this life!

Emptiness

This feeling of emptiness I have inside is impossible for me to ignore or hide,
And it's impossible for me to hold back the tears that constantly escape my eyes-
-& tell reassure myself that everyhting will be alright!-
For only time can tell what is meant to be,
And only time will tell if you again will return to me!
Now if only I could turn back the hands of time,
I'd wish there were things before hand I would've realized!
I'd wish you'd understand how much I miss you & love you with all my heart,
And that you'd see i need you & without you I'm falling apart!

Wanting To Feel

I desperately long for you to be by my side,
And for you to lovingly hold & carress my body until the morning light!
I need you there to make me feel as if by you I'm truly loved,
And for you to be lying breathless beside me after our exhausted bodies-
-collapse after uniting as one!-
I want to feel you'll be there for me whenever I need comfort  or advice,
I want you to remember more than anything that I'm alive & also your wife!

Bad Luck

Why is it everyday I feel as if I'm just a failure,
And I'm locked in an emotional prison & I'm my own jailer?
Why do I feel that anyone I try to help will only think I mess everything up,
And that everything will go wrong if by me it's touched?
Why do I feel as though the world would be a better place without me,
 And that everyone runs the other way when they see the person coming is just-
-'lil 'ol me?-
Why doesn't anyone just see & understand I just feel so empty & alone,
And all I need is for someone to make me feel as if their heart was my home!

Why Me

I often question myself; why do people think I'm so evil inside,
Do they know over this how many tears I've cried?
I know I'm not perfect, as noone in this world is,
But I've tried so damn hard to show evil is not me-as I clench my fists!
I try with my all to please everyone, every single day,
Only to hear how awful of a person I am & how I haven't changed!
One day though, I'll come across someone who understands & appreciates me,
As I wait, feeling so worthless, empty & alone as tears steady flow down my-
-cheeks!-
