Gone Forever
Gone forever, lost in the night
Reaching out to God, hoping he'll reach back
She's gone, but not forgotten
Looking down, shining down on you
You'll know that one day you'll be together
Someday, one day you'll see her
Like an angel from the heavens above
Searching for her way home
Back to the friends she had, the friends she lost
And then just like the fireworks on the fourth of July
She will be gone, but never forgotten.

Just expressing myself!!!
I stopped here - to express myself, but found I'd left
my opinions, lying on a shelf. So, I went on home to
begin again, and resolved to come back, but can't say
when.... In the meantime, have a nice day, and tremble with
excitement as you await the day.. of my return to your
friendly site, that offers rhyme and pure delight.

A Dozen Roses
The first rose holds the joy that's in my heart today,
The second is the feelings I feel in every way
The third rose is the sunshine around me when your near,
The fourth holds the shedding of every joyful tear.
The fifth rose is the patience in your heart for me at times,
The sixth makes up for waiting for the words you love in rhyme.
The seventh rose holds the caring I give so full and free,
The eighth it holds the loving you give so much to me
The ninth rose is to forgive me when I'm harsh or wrong
The tenth is to thank you for choosing me through your whole life long
The eleventh rose is to say I love you each and every way
The twelfth is to carry these feelings from day to day to day.
Another dozen roses, a dozen reasons shared,
Of love, life and friendship with my love who always cared.

Too Blind To See
I sit here and the thoughts run through my mind
I sit here and cry as my pillow I hide behind
I let go the one thing more precious than gold
I let go the one thing that I had left on to hold
I was stupid, I didn't realize what I had
Now that I'm aware, I want you back so bad
So now it's over and we can't go back
Can't give it a chance to get back on track
We can't work it out, I can't make you see
That you mean everything, you mean the world to me
Now you're gone, now I'm all alone
I'm in so much pain, I have to make it known
I was in love, girl, but I was too blind to see
That I was in love with you and you were in love with me.

Dear Friend,
This is an invitation to
be with me
talk with me
walk with me,
Laugh with (and at) me.
This is an invitation to
open your heart to me.
To bare your soul,
leaving nothing but the real self.
This is an invitation for
Softness
Tenderness
Caring
Compassion
Love...
A world where all your dreams can come true..
...a place where the fires burn down slowly, leaving a nice, steady flame...
Would you like to join this world with me?

Expressions
Why should I express myself if no one is listening?
But if people do listen I get in trouble for what I feel.
I don't understand the concept of living my own life, when you make me
live another.
You won't let me express out loud so I express in my mind.
You don't see things from my point of view, I want to find my own path
I'm not blind.
Why should I smile if it doesn't mean anything to me?
It's just another expression only this one you can see.
So if I express out loud or in my mind.
It doesn't matter they are all my feelings and they are one of a kind!!

Friendship
We were so close together
Now so far apart
What happened in between
I can only feel in my heart
I wish you were here
To talk with me today
But I can't pick up the phone
My body won't obey
Things seemed to be so perfect
Now they seem so wrong
I don't feel as though I know you
Where has our friendship gone
You used to be able to talk with me
About everything you felt
Now I feel I'm a stranger
My heart is starting to melt
We always used to talk
Until the middle of the night
I don't know what we talked about
But never once in a fight
I need you in my life
I need you as a friend
I need to laugh and cry with you
Forever 'til the end
I still don't know what has happened
Our friendship has lasted so long
But I can't help from wondering
What did I do wrong ?

Friendship or Love?
The nights are long.
The days are so sad.
Not knowing what we lost.
Not knowing what I had.
I think of you for hours.
Your lips I just can't kiss.
You're the one I want.
You're the one I'd miss.
Although we talk of frienship.
I always think of love.
Hoping we could have more.
Not just a friendly shove.
You tell me of your problems.
I listen with open ears.
I'd like to tell you mine.
But I'll always have fears.

Leaving
When I leave I will not be gone,
For my love for you will be forever strong.
My heart is here for you to keep.
If I come back and you are not mine,
I'll keep in mind that I had a great time.
So one night if you get lonely,
Just close your eyes and remember slowly.
That my memory will never leave.
And when I do, PLEASE do not weep,
because my heart is yours to keep.
And remember as I will do,
I can never stop loving you!

Love
Love can do so many things.
It can mend a broken heart.
It can keep you close to dear ones,even
when you are far apart.
Love can say the special things
that you would like most to say;
But not with words,but with little
acts,that will brighten your day.
Love can make a house a home;
Or turn a grey sky blue.
It almost seems a miracle,
of all the things that love can do.

God's Love
What is this thing that I cannot see,
the very thing that won't let me be.
I wake every morning wanting a fresh start,
but the depression is so deep that it pierces my heart.
I watch everyone around me leaving their fingerprints on this earth,
but it seems the only thing I leave is the hurt.
I want so much to be normal and live a happy life,
but the misery cut's like a knife.
What else is there to do, but live with the pain,
for the depression tells me that I have nothing to gain.
My world is darkness, sorrow, and despair,
but if there is a light, I see none there.
I want to break from this prison that keeps me bound,
I listen for words of comfort, but I hear not one sound.
My life is the stormy waters of an angry sea,
my body is the vessel that struggles to be set free.
How do I hold on when the wave's are so high,
I find it strange that I'm still alive.
But I know that someone is watching from high above,
his love was sent on wing's of a dove.
Heavenly Father, hear my cries, for I am so tired, lonely and weak,
for it is you that I do seek.
Tell me Lord, how long must I wait,
for it's my soul I wish you to take.
I promise you Lord that I'll hold on with all my might,
because in the end you'll make it alright.
Someone in heaven is dancing and singing with glee,
free as a bird living with thee.
Tell me Lord, when is it my turn to worship you there,
I feel that I haven't a minute to spare.
A minute to you is a thousand years,
but look closely Lord, you will see my tears.
My depression is strong, and my soul is weak,
but hear I am kneeling at your feet.
What is that Lord you've shown me?
you removed the darkness so I can see.
What is that Lord that's come in my sight?
Thank you Lord, I can now see the light!

Why?
I feel unwanted,
I feel alone,
Nobody cares
what I call my own.
I can sit and stare,
I can pout and cry,
but I just can't bare,
the time that has gone by.
Why do I have to be perfect ,
In order to have a friend?
All I need right now,
Is a perfect heart to mend.
All I'm asking is for a friend,
Who accepts me for who I am
Someone who loves me,
Until the very end.
Just search and find
that special key,
Open my door to
so much more!
