It's the Little Things

One early morning started off the same
I read my book as my coffee came
I enjoyed my drink and my book
but I was shocked when I took a look

A woman in a purple blouse 
Looked towards me and said it's on the house
I followed her steps with her kind gesture 
I said no worries , it's on me sir. 

I paid for his coffee as she had paid for mine
And I sat with the man as he began to dine.
Something so insignificant to others and so small
But such a huge impact on me, my heart, and all. 

I continue on to this day 
To find ones that need help and I pay
Something so small, yet so strong
Maybe there's enough kind to outdo the wrong

A simple little coffee shop 
And the woman with the purple top
One morning changed it all
A huge impact from something so small.

Regretting My Cake, Regretting My Mistake

Oh how I've made a huge mistake!
How can one simply regret cake? 
I let watched it spread wings and go
I let my cake go, it cannot be so. 

So delicious and oh so yummy
I need that cake in my tummy!
I have to chase it down!
Maybe I'll catch it on the other end of town. 

Cake cake cake
I remember when you were first baked
I smelled you in the oven 
And oh how I was lovin'!

Cake cake cake 
Oh what a mistake 
I let my cake get away
I must make this next cake stay!

My Pain

Wrenched, hurt, and suffering
I drown in my tears
No one listens
They just cover there ears. 

Exhausted of hiding 
And tired of confiding
No one seems to care
Why would they dare? 

The pain is too much
How can I handle such? 
Its tearing me apart
Feels like a knife in my heart

I hurt so bad
And my heart cries out for love 
I just want it to be done; over 
Free just like a dove.

All to myself and all alone
Slowly dying inside 
All of these emotions 
Are just too much to hide.
