Gone For Good?

my heart twitched as if i knew he was the one
or was it the fact that he'd packed and run
our love was inspiring and absolutely amazing
so why did he cut himself out was he just fazing
i don't understand i don't think i will
i just wish he could be the one to hold me still
life is full of confusing ups and downs
and certain levels and crazy rounds
so maybe we just had failed
so i wrote a letter and got it mailed
and then i had the urge so i just smiled
but then he got the papers and had them filed
how could he,i wondered for hours
but then he sent me some flowers
he told me the papers were ripped and gone
i looked to his side and his bags were on the front lawn
i love you his mouth spilled out
and that's true no doubt

My Own Angel

the shadows of her appear on my wall
i swear that i see her wondering the hall
i feel as if she's protecting me in every way
i can still remember that May first day
i know she doesn't want me to put my life aside
but when i think of her i just wish it was me who died
i know this might sound pretty lame
but there was a reason god called her name
he only takes the very best
to be the leader of all the rest
and as time goes by the pain gets stronger
or the days seem a little bit longer
you always stuck right by my side
even if i was the one who had lied
it's hard knowing i won't see you again
now that that's said thanks be to god, amen

Losing Someone Special

when i found out the news i cried for hours
i couldn't talk, eat or even shower
the pictures of him made me shiver
who knew he had a problem with his liver
i miss him like crazy
the thought of him makes me hazy
all the cherished moments we've shared
it really shows how much we cared
i feel to know i'm burdened in sorrow
there will be a new light shinning tomorrow
