Give Me

3/16/2008 at 11:43 AM

give me the hands to hold you with …
give me the eyes to see ,
let me touch you with these hands of mine ,
pinch me, is this really me ?

give me the ears to hear you with …
let me smell you near ,
give me the arms to keep you close ,
and keep you from your fears .

give me the thoughts that refresh my mind …
of this that we have today,
give me the Heart to Love you with ,
of which i will say each day .

give me these few things to use ,
and ill show you what life is ,
let me show you, who i am ,
someone, you could really miss .

i write this in hope that someone will read ,
where my Heart really lives ,
i write this again, so that they will know ,
how it feels to really give.

Sometimes in the Darkness

3/16/2008 at 11:40 AM

Sometimes when the dark is at its darkest,
Sometimes when my hands cannot touch the warmpth that was there.
Sometimes when my mind will just not forget,
I remember you.

The things that separate us now are too many to even know.
We did this, you and I,
Brought us together and put us apart forever.
It is the way of life they say, the coming and going,
And never knowing why.
However, in this case we do.
We ran out of Love to make us grow.
Too many tears, too many nights of woe.
Not enough empathy for the other,
Too much of wanting to smother,
Too much of selfish bother.

Yes, the nights are darkest, when I remember you,
My Heart is the saddest, when I remember us two,
My tears are the wettest, when I cry for you and I,
And I will remember you, until the day I die.

It Was Me

3/16/2008 at 11:39 AM

Looking at his tear soaked face I realized that it was my plight too
His sadness touched my very soul and I have empathy for him
His past was not unlike mine
Sad but with resolve.

Letting go of something that has been a part of his life for so long
Must be a crushing blow to him
I thought of my past and what I had to do to let it all go
And I wished that I could help him in some small way
To aid him in his journey

As this thought crossed my mind I knew what I had to do
As I reached out to touch him and offer comfort to him
Something else came to me like a wave of sunlight on a summers day
At the very instant that my hand came in contact with him
I looked up and saw my face in the mirror

It was me that I was seeing
It was me that I had such empathy for
It was me that I had helped to let go
It was me and only me that had the answer to this
And it was me that I left standing in the mirror
It was me that finally forgave..

She Wondered Why

3/16/2008 at 11:38 AM

She reached over to touch his face,
To feel the stubble on his cheeks, on his chin.
His eyes were closed and he was in a far away place.
She watched his chest rise and fall as his breaths came and went..
She wondered why.

He had come into her life as soft as a summer’s breeze.
Stayed with her, laid with her,
Given her the best love he knew.
More than she’d ever known..
She wondered why.

His heart was hers as was hers his.
Times they had were wonderful and bright.
Warm summers days and star lit nights.
She looked around in the darkness of her room..
She wondered why.

Winter had come and gone, in the time they shared.
Two summers too.
She listened to his thoughts and learned from them.
She learned to love once again.
To trust and hold out her hand ,
To another man..
She wondered why.

The two of them were like no other,
Each other’s thoughts were as one from the other.
Times were good and life was so,
The love they had continued to grow..

She wondered why
That August summer day she drove away.
It was all hers and she let it go.
It hurt her bad and hurt him so,
He never forgot about how it felt,
To give his heart and watch it melt,
In that August sun as she drove away… and
He wondered why..

A Wish

3/16/2008 at 11:29 AM

If I had a wish, for time
If I had time for a wish
It would be to stand in front of you
One more time.

If there were one more thing that I would do
Before the Angels take me away
It would be to be in your eyes
Just one more day.

Before I leave this earth and start my way back home
Id wish that I could spend one day not feeling so alone
People pass through my life as though I were a revolving door
I see them come, I see them go, I’ve seen them all before.

But to see you one more time, to hold you close to my heart
To feel your warmth, and to smell you near,
To remember,
Before we part..

Let the sadness go from within my lonely soul,
To make us one, just one more time, to be whole.

If I had the time to wish for one more time,
To stand in front of you
To see what your eyes were telling me
That we were finally through….

Fate

3/16/2008 at 11:29 AM

I’m up again late tonight and I know its not right
Feeling the way I do, the way I have for so long.
This ol’ heart of mine still feels so young and strong
But the feelings I still have for you just don’t belong.
The whisky I’m drinkin and the music in my ears,
Makes me think of more pleasant years.. I’ve had..
When things were good and not too bad
Things I’ve got now and things I had…
And one of them was you..

You see, when we were one and the sun shone bright..
Everything we did was just so right … with life
And now your with him and I’m no where to be found..
It’s just not the same not having you around.. like you were.
I can still see your face and your happy smile
The sun in your eyes and all the while
Fate was at our backs and running hard
Our end was too close and nothing we could do
Would ever change it now..
