It's Ok To Cry

When all that's around
seems awkward with trouble.
When people surround you
and make you work double.
When all you can think of
is why do they pry.
When words seem to fail you
it's ok to sigh.

When all that surrounds you
is hopelessness and sad.
When some people harm you
they treat you so bad.
When they leave you so lonely
and tell you a lie.
When no thought seems to comfort
it's ok to cry.

When tears sting the lonely
and your empty heart aches.
When the question you ask
is why my heart breaks.
When friends reach a hand to you
once more you ask why.
When you sit there and wonder
it's ok to cry.

When you ask yourself why again
your heart full of fear.
When all around you hurts so
just too much too bear.

When you need help understanding
you know you must try.
When nothing else helps you
it's ok to cry.

Welcome Home

When I am gone, Release me, Let me go.
I have so many things to say and do,
You mustn't tie yourself to me with too many tears,
But be thankful we had so many good years.
I gave you my love, and you can only guess
How much you've given me in happiness.
I thank you for the love that you have shown,
But now it is time I travel alone.
So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
That it is only for awhile that we must part,
So treasure the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away for life goes on.
And if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear
All my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a "WELCOME HOME"

There Is Nothing

There's nothing I can say and nothing I can do
to clearly convey the way I feel about you.
There's nothing you can say and nothing you can do
that can change the past that we've been through.
What's done is done, we did what we did
can't change the past, or the horrible lies we hid.
Truth always wins out, its always revealed 
reshatters the lives that lies broke but since healed.
All trust now gone, it can't be returned
trepidation and fear of being burned
Can't forget the hard lessons that we learned
never the way that either of us yearned.
No matter the words, the actions, or all out tries
we will never get past the deception, the lies
The past now past will not be forgot
it tempers our judgment clouds our thoughts.
Suspicion distrust and both full of doubt
unable too forget what this was all about.
No starting anew, no clean slate to be had
all good things forgotten but never the bad.
Deserving of better we best part our ways
if ever to enjoy life out from under this haze.

Hard To Say I'M Sorry

I'm sorry for all the times I lost my temper
For the times when I was so rude
For all the gifts that you have given
And never got any thank-yous.

For all the love that you've given me
And I haven't given back
For all the times you were patient
A huge virtue that I lack.

I'm Sorry for all the people
To whom I was so cruel
To all the people that I laughed at
I acted like a huge fool.

I couldn't see past your imperfections
I refused too see past my pride
Your feelings I trampled all over
On my high horse I would ride.

I'm sorry for all the times I lied
For the people I have hurt along the way
Not a day goes by that I don't regret it
And wish too take it back any day.

The only person I cared about
Was me and only me
And now I'm truly sorry
I only wish I could make you see.

I'm sorry for everything I've done
For all the people I let down
I'm only asking for a second chance
So I can attempt too turn things around.

I know that it's a little late
My deeds can't be undone
I realize now that I was wrong
And I'M SORRY EVERYONE.

Caught Again

It became more than just a hunch
When I heard they met again after lunch.
I called and asked him what's up?
But his answers didn't quite add up.
He said this and he said that
And for a while played cat and rat.
I poked and grilled him more and more
Said I wouldn't quit till we settled the score.
Told him I had enough evidence
To expose his decadence.
He pleaded but I wouldn't have none of it
I yelled "OUT WITH IT! Enough of your shit".
But had I known I wouldn't have
Cuz the truth sliced my heart in half.
He confirmed that my guess was right, our love had lost it's clout
It felt like a punch below the belt when he spelt it all out.
He said he wasn't cheating on me with her
Instead, he was cheating on her with me.
I was absolutely dumbfounded
Or should I say absolutely astounded?
All I could do was ask myself WHY
Didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
And too be honest, it really didn't matter
Whether I did the former or the latter

Keep Off My Man

When are all you B****es
Ever going too see
That guy you've been after
"Yeah Hoe", actually belongs to me.

So come on give up
And just let him go
I really shouldn't have too fight for him
He's MINE, but you already know.

I know he sort of liked you
And yeah he thought touching you was fine
I know you really liked it too
But the problem with this is HE'S MINE

You tell your people you love him
And how he makes you smile
But let me walk in where you are
You better leave and run a mile

So don't mess with my man
And don't try and take him from me
Or BET I make you pay
Promise that my fists will be the last thing you see

Best thing for you is forget about him
Because clearly you knew he's taken
Please just back away
And let love be forsaken...
