Never Forgotten

Never Forgotten 

She's someones sister, she's someones daughter  
though she thought they'd all forgot her 
waking up next to guys she didn't know 
head hurting from too many lines of blow 
partying till the brink of dawn 
wondering why her cars parked on the lawn 
feeling like her life had been so unjust 
the bottle was all she learned to trust 
she could feel everyones icy glare 
telling herself she didn't really care 
knowing her boss was going to go beserk 
it was the fifth time in two weeks she was late for work 
scared she was going to get fired 
she called in sick to get wired 
this time she'd been in too long a roll 
the drugs had finally taken their toll 
at the funeral no one had forgotten her 
she was someones sister , she was someones daughter

I Like

I like sunny days and rainy days because the weather doesn't matter anyways 
I like puppys not kittens 
I like ski bunnys in nothing but boots and mittens 
I like music as long as its not sung by cowboys 
I like being able to buy all kinds of new toys 
I like hearing my children laugh 
I like being able to take them to the zoo to see a giraffe 
I like how people find me more witty when they drink wine by the ciraffe 
I like being able to watch the game by a fire place with a warm flame                           while cuddled up to my favorite dame
I like the smell of a hocky rink 
I like a clean kitchen with an empty sink 
I like that I still think its funny when my farts stink
I like to go for rides on the ferry 
I like that I don't think I'm too old and warry, that one day I'll still find love and marry 
I like that my mind is clear and I'm not still run by fear 
I like that I've left my past behind , that I have and open mind and can be kind 
I like these new trends the people that I call friends that I've got so much to be greatful for and thats where this poem ends .

Intamacy

Intamacy 


Intamacy, 
That's a whole new level of transparency, 
No more tricks up your sleeve, 
Or being the person you want them to believe, 
It's no more foolish pride, 
It's opening up and letting the ones you trust inside, 
My whole life I was wrong this had me perplexed, 
I thought Intamacy was just about sex, 
It's more about making a connection, 
Not being too afraid to let someone see every little imperfection, 
It's letting someone see right through, 
Introducing them to the real you, 
Intamacy you see, 
Is letting you in to see me.........

Enough

It's a weird feeling just laying there staring at the cealing 
trying to figure out whats wrong and whats right 
if your lifes passed you by and your just fading into the night 
crying enough tears to fill a stream knowing you've given up on your dreams 
trying to figure out where you stand because nothing has gone as planned 
everythings gone wrong like a shitty cowboy song 
all i had was bad luck good thing I didn't have a horse, a dog or a truck 
I didn't have the simplest things good living brings 
Getting by on lie's and goodbye's because I never measured up to size 
So affraid of responsibility made it an impossiblity to have any stability 
looking for ways to live in an alternate reality was my speciality 
like a free falling sky diver it was time to pull the chute
put away the snoot and look for new persuits 
find something new, something good I can do 
For once actully follow through 
Make preperation get an education build a proper foundation
maybe it can lead to joy and elation 
I can get passed the bad weather, get my act together
Quit running from the respondsibilty stuff
Quit running when it gets rough 
I know life can get tough
its time to grow up because I've had enough

Bad Girl

Her smile was so mischievous 
The way she was dressed I knew she was my kind of devious 
She's never known love just lust 
Bad girl was tattooed across her bust 
She wasn't anyone's Mrs right
She was everyones Mrs tonight 
I bought her a drink and we talked awhile
Soon we left to her place , it was less than a mile 
Laughing she said don't worry hun 
Tonight your in for all kings of fun 
This bad girl knew how to please 
Weather it's on her back or knees 
She took me through a three hour show
When she was finished with me she said, time to go 
I left in total shock
My world had just been rocked 
There was no end to her shame 
I didn't even know that bad girls name.

I Miss You

I miss you


Gloomy, cloudy, and grey, 
It's been pouring rain all day,
The drops keep on falling, 
Like all the angels in heaven can't stop balling, 
I just want to stay inside hiding in bed, 
Pull the covers up way over my head, 
Now all I can do is stare at the empty space, 
The one that used to be your place, 
So lost I don't know what to do, 
I pull your pillow close to see if it still smells like you, 
It's been so long your scents faded it's almost gone, 
Maybe everyone's right and it's time to move on, 
Just because they leave telling you enough it's done, 
Doesn't mean you can make your heart stop loving someone.........
