Untitled(Regret Pt. 2)

It was only suppose to had been just an innocent friendship
at least in the beginning that how it started out to be,
I was confident in believing that I could actualy be friends with him
but at that moment I was much too blind to had even seen.
That in all actuality he wanted more from me
way more that I was not able to give at that time,
I never had imagined in my wildest dreams
that just my very presence still remained on his cunning, devious mind.
He would always greet me with a sincere smile on a daily basis
whenever he would see me around in the neighborhood,
He accepted me for me with open arms and good graces
at that time he made me feel happy and good.
Suddenly, what started out as a friendship that was built on innocence
made a turn unto the path of regrettable sin,
That is when he made the bold step of taking advantage of my innocence
by wanting to be more than just friends.
At that tiem my life was filled with so much chaos and stress
and all seemed so dark and drear,
I felt that out of my life was gone all of my happiness
for myself I no longer gave a care.
He told me things that I had wanted to hear
for, it had been such a long time ago,
He had made all of my pain and despair disappear
he made me feel wanted and needed so.
But like a fool I had allowed him to take control of me
I was definitly in way over my head,
That night I found it so hard to believe
that I was actually in his bed.
After the sinful act had been over and completed
and I silently walked out of the door,
I asked myself: "Oh, God ! What on earth have I done?
I feel like such a whore!"
I cried and cried what seemed like an eternity
and I became violently physically sick,
What would my finace think of me?
was all I could ask myself at that moment.
That night when I had finally returned home
I got down on upon my knees and just prayed  to God for forgiveness,
That night I never felt so sad, confused, and all alone
cheating was not in my nature, only innocence.
I could not believe that I had hurt the man that I loved
by betraying him in that way,
I was so naieve in sharing one night of lust
with a man that just wanted to get laid.
I allowed myself to be put in a situation
a situation that had gone out of control,
I was just too weak to resist temptation
but right now, I am strong enough to know.

Just Barely Getting By

They had been having problems for quite some time
but the outside world never seemed to notice,
Their once everlasting love had crossed a dangerous line
yet the outside world never seemed to notice.
They would get involved in heated arguements behind closed doors
they would put one another down by calling the other demeaning names,
They both knew that the love they once shared was there no more
the time had come for them to end the tiresome game.
At one time they thought they could actually be able to work things out
just for the sake of their two kids,
But in all actuality there was no way of ever working things out
they were doing more harm they good towards the kids.
They would always be affectionate toward one another
whenever they would be around family and friends,
No one ever noticed that the seemingly happy couple of having problems
no one ever picked up on the fact that it was all just pretend.
Behind the smile that she always managed to wear
was just a mask for the tears that she tried to hide,
She did not want any one to be aware
that her and her husband was just barely getting by.
He has noticed that she has lost that sparkle in her eyes
they have grown so hollow and  so cold,
He has accepted the fact that no matter how hard he tries
she will never be the same woman that he used to know.
They have been just barely getting by
and the realization is that everything is just about over,
The time has come for them to both open up their eyes
and accept the fact that their love is finally over.

There Is Always Hope

The bills are overdue,
 
     And the cupboards are bare.

Junior is in need of a new pair of shoes

     But there is no extra money that can be spared.

The car is out of gas again,
 
     Sadly, you have no money to fill up the tank.

Looks like you will be walking to work again

     Lord, know you are in need of a break!

The boss at your job is giving you grief,

    Saying your productivity is low.

He has said that if things do not change quickly

     He will have no other choice but to let you go.

And when you think things just cannot get any worse,

     Little Sally has come down sick with strep throat.

She needs to see a doctor but you have no medical insurance

     You then start to lose all hope.

But there always seems to be hope,

     During times when it seems to be none.

Because it seems that the battle is too hard to be won.

     But you have a Helper that sits high above,

The Comforter that is there when you are down.
    
     In Him you can confidently place all of your trust

He will lift you up and place your feet firmly back on solid ground.

You feel scared, weak, and weary,

     And that is all okay.

Believe me when I say that He is all-knowing

     Of the struggles and trials you face every day.

Just take a quiet moment,

     And open the flood gates of your heart to Him.

He is always there to listen

     So just open up your heart and talk to Him.

He is able to make a way out of no way, 

     He is able to replenish all of your strength.

He is able to hold all of your problems at bay

     He is able to provide all of Your needs.

So lift your head up high,

     Because you will not be in your storm for too long.

Go on ahead and dry your teary eyes

     Because there is always hope when it seems to be none.

There's No Replacing You

She thought that she was over you completely
but apparently her guess was so wrong,
For you she still had a lot of feelings
feelings that after all of those years still remained strong.
She married with the hopes of escaping your memory
and with the hopes that another man could take your place,
And now she finds herself still being haunted by your sweet memories
she has realized that there is not another that can take your place.
She thought about you both day and night
and she had found that her heart still missed you so,
She knew that still loving you was not right
but she found it so hard in completely letting you go.
She knew the fact that you had long ago moved on with your life
you had some how managed to start anew,
she had known deep down inside her heart as well as in the back of her mind
that there could be no way of ever replacing you.

Hanging On a Prayer

I have this strong urge to just walk away
but I cannot seem to do so,
Something in my heart is telling me that I should stay
and to just try and hold on.
The situation is getting much too thick and troubling
I am getting tired of always trying to make amends,
Often times I find myself asking
"How long can I continue to stand by my man?"
I knew all was not always going to be a bed of roses
we were going to have our share of ups and downs,
But it seems as though that here lately
all I have been doing is shedding more tears instead of smiles.
The few arguemetns I find are slowly wearing me down
I wish that they would just end rather quickly,
The few arguements that we have had always makes me feel so down
to the  point I become physically sick.
I am trying my best in hanging in there
but I am finding myself slowly losing my grasp,
I am just hanging on a prayer
for how long will our love really last?

Haiku

Like a beautiful red rose
                     which bursts into color in Spring
                      is young, pure love

Haiku

As the stars twinkle and shine
                      and all is quiet and still
                       my little one continues to sleep

If Daddy Were Here

Why is everybody always picking on me?
Why does it seem like they enjoy making me cry?
These days they seem to always be shouting "Just shut up, Pee-Wee!"
If Daddy were here...
But he left without even saying goodbye.
My heart and soul seems to always be filled with so much sorrow
and my tears rush down from my eyes like an angry river,
But I just can't bare to live to see another tomorrow
If Daddy were here...
Just the thought of him leaving me behind makes me shiver.
Oh, God! Why were you so quick in taking my precious daddy away?
He didn't even have time to speak any final words to me,
So much I long to up and just run away
because this doesn't seem to much like home without Daddy.
If only Daddy were here to see how they're treating me now
I know it would make him madder than Hell!
This wouldn't be happening if Daddy were still around
since he's been gone it seems that they're determined in making my life a living
hell.
It has been just two days and my daddy has been long buried and forgotten
and no one seems to give a care about how I really feel,
Deep down inside I feel so mixed-up and just plain rotten!
this pain hurts much too real.
If only Daddy were here for me to talk to
sadly, he's no longer here because he's gone and left me behind forever,
Maybe God's the one that I need to be talking to
because my daddy's at home with Him up in Heaven.

My Lover, My Friend, My Partner

To my dearest Steadrick,

There were times when I would become so afraid
that my harsh words and  impulsive actions would push you away,
Due to the fact I would allow things to get to me
and from out of the darkest shadows could come my insecurities.
But by my side you always still remained
loving me continuously all the same,
With patience you let me know that my actions you understood
not forgetting that in me you still seen all the beauty and all the good.
The very thought of me living my life without you hurts me so
there is no way I can ever imagine letting you go,
You have been here for me whenever I would call
and you have always managed to give me your all.
With you honestly and sincerely loving me
my brand new life has taken on a whole new meaning,
No matter what trials and tribulations we may go through
I will time and time again keep on loving you.
There were those that thought our love would not last
predicting that our love was just a passing fad,
But in the process we have shown them the strength of our love
and the solid foundation of our bond.
Steadrick, every day and night I thank God for blessing me with you
together in life as a team we can surely make it through,
Moment by moment and day by day
all things for us will go our way.
Steadrick, my heart is overflowing with all of the love that I have for you
and there is no other that can compare to you,
Soon, our separate lives will finally become one
and that is when our precious journey in life will have begun.


                         Love your lover, your friend, your partner
                                                  Wanda

Just Telling It Like It Is

So what's your excuse this time
for coming home late again?
I've been sitting here worried sick out of my mind
I want to know have you been out creeping?
Don't you dare give me that look!
You're not as innocent as you claim,
You should've been here at home hours ago from work!
but instead you're out having a good time with "Ms. Thing"!
Shh. Before you begin get your lies together
I don't want to hear any stammering and studdering,
I've stuck by your side through the worse kind of weather
and this is how you thank me!
I've been allowing you get by for quite a while now
when you come home late I've managed to not say a peep,
But I think it's high time that you tell it to me straight right now
we're going to settle things before we go to sleep.
You say you've be out with your friends
just hanging out and shooting the breeze,
But I've noticed that when you come back you don't have any more of your ends
you out spending like the bill don't need to get paid and we don't need to eat.
But it's not your friends that you be out with late at night
that's the same, tired story you always give me,
For quite some time my suspensions have been right
you've got another woman on the side other than me.
Tell me what on earth have I ever done to deserve such pain?
Tell me what on earth have I ever done to deserve such betrayl?
Things between us are never going to be the same
Just pack your bags and raise on up out of here!
You may think there's no way I can survive without you
because all of this time I've been so dependent of you,
With the help of God and my family I know I'll pull through
be gone! I no longer need you!
I'm just telling it like it is...
