Inside

Feeling my heart heal from the inside, 
Everyone only see's
Perfect, beautiful,flawless,
Only did I and you know,
When you reached inside shredding, 
Leaving it lay concealed.
For you would only know,
The shell stands to perfection,
As you leave, 
Not even a thought,
Never did you turn back.
My eyes couldn't cry,
My words only silence to hear,
Standing lifeless inside my heart.

Bring Me

Falling I'm falling to something I don't even know 
reaching scratching
hold on don't let me go
it's not me to save you
you were the one
to make me want to keep my soul
that was thrown away
don't know when
don't know how
your eyes I can only see as your looking
looking back at me
in a dream but this isn't a dream
this is real
death will break my fall
falling I'm falling
reaching screaming your name 
don't let me go I was blind 
only you can save me from this life
for my life to breathe again to live again
you see me don't you
only you can see me
only you know me
save me from my life to begin to live again
to want again
to love my life again
bring me back to life
to feel your heart beating
only you can bring me to life
the one I lost
when you went away
only you can save me
to make me want to keep my soul
half of it is gone
only you
bring it back to me
only you
can make me whole again
as I'm falling
falling crying out your name

An Angel Amanda

You have given me the gift
That no other could ever give,
That is an angel from heaven,
The gift is you.
Only love of innocence that is unconditional,
Filled with smiles and laughter,
Held within my heart that we both share the key.
You are the reason my eyes can see,
You are the air that makes me breathe.
You were given the day,
So special just as God made you, especially for me.
My daughter who was born,
On the first day of spring.
I give praise and thankfulness,
To you Amanda, for still loving me.
As your mommy and forever your friend,
I will and for eternity, vow to you,
To walk on earth side by side, hand in hand.
When it is said from the heaven's above,
We shall soar through the cloud's,
And the star's in the sky,
Day after day, night after night,
We shall be together,
Throughout infinity.

Since

There is that special someone
You never let go
Even when they have moved on
Your hurt knows all
The stories, the moments
The past we should let be
Not living in the past
If you do, losing yourself will certain follow

There are times, want to erase
The pain never exist
Knowing you moved on

Happiness seems to linger
So far out of reach
Because of living in the past

Did I love you more than you loved me
Did I not see or choose not to see

Only to wait brings
Brings sadness to deepen
Since you moved on

You say "I'll always love you"
This is why I keep holding on
If only our memory I could erase

This pain, sadness beyond any cure
Losing the path used to be solid beneath my feet

Since you moved on
Did you find happiness with someone new
Now and then do you think of me
Maybe something could be

I had to let you go
This I know

Finding myself living in the past
Sadness deepens beyond my control

Fallen Angel

Gazing at your face, 
Thought aloud he is the one, 
Who would be a faithful love. 
Started as friends, Became lovers, Now my everything. 
How did this turn wrong. 
Your words I heard truth, Your doubt I saw blind, 
How did this turn wrong. 
Believed Rumors only to be lies, 
Raise of your hand mark my body, 
Anger become to taunt, 
Everything is fine, If only my soul could hide. 
Your voice takes me away, 
Beyond the heavens, Swinging on a star, 
Loving you more than my self, My intentions pure. 
How did this turn wrong. 
Loosing my way to be someone else, 
To keep your love, Loving only me. 
How did this turn wrong. 
An angel asking to be mortal, Granted my wish, 
Your soul how I love. 
How did this turn wrong. 
I face the promise I could not complete, 
A journey without knowing. 
How did this turn wrong. 
I am the fallen angel, Now finding my way, 
I give thanks to you, I felt the pain,
the sorrow, Happiness tears of joy, 
Breathing your love that I know once true.

Only Because of You

The first time we met,
A friendship of truth you offered,
The darkest secrets I kept hidden,
Even from myself.
In an instant I told you everything without haste,
My soul told me you were the only one,
To keep them hidden,
From anyone boundly safe.
Where did you come from,
Of all times now,
Why wasn't it sooner,
Now when only our life is half lived.
Some reason I've known you,
Before the first breath of life hear I am,
Right or wrong,
My words can only speak truth,
Without a thought or possible disappointment,
I can not come to bring myself,
A lie passing my lips,
My heart can only see the truth,
Filling my soul when you look into my eyes,
You already know me,
You see everything about me.
My lows, My highs,
You are the only one,
Who can see the passion I have for life,
If my eyes became blind,
I can see you bright as day,
Bright as the sky,
You feel my needs,
In silence I cry out your name,
As I turn, there you are,
Sound of your voice,
The sight of your face,
As my world is complete,
Only because of you.
Alllowing my love to come into your heart,
Taking me to your magical place,
Only because of you.

A Masterpiece Created For Only Me

So beautiful, so flawless
A masterpiece of creation
For hours admired without distraction
Looking into the painting
Every color changes with perfection
Changing the size of brush strokes
Dipping into the oils
Not one coming
Not one leaving
Looking into the masterpiece
The painting admired
From near
From far
From the heavens above so brilliant
A timeless creation
So honest, so trust worthy 
His masterpiece delivered only to me
Knowing I shall love you
For all eternity

Save My Life

Today isn't yesterday, if only it was ahead 14 maybe 11 give or take a few less month's
my life can begin to breathe again.
Not watching for shadows coming out the corner of my eye, lay my head down with closing
my eyes.
Not going to nowhere, that's the truth no lie.
I can't even relax my back let alone someone seems everyone in our past from today which
you might as well always live the ongoing repeating yesterday.

Over on the right side cheaters, liar's, busters, leaving while kicking you down.
On the left back stabbers, parasites
A name The Dope Game
It's up to you to spot them out
It's hard my girl had to
read your letter saying this to me
Since my man and you are together are together locked up in the Nevada State penitentiary

Yesterday ends this the light switching onto black maybe once in awhile white to the
world The Dope Game you call it for me today
These back stabbers, parasites, cheaters, liar's stealing to where you have no life
while promising you yes I'll stay alive
The day you walk away from the Nevada state Penitentiary

The night I saw you last, leaving to get your hustle on, your dogs following close behind
June 4this the date I'll never forget, your world became the beginning of your judgment
day
The world I refused to except
This you always knew
Now thrown in a world, hustle, game
The day I couldn't choose
Let alone lie to you
Now you know a name The Dope Game
Life without security
Now I tasted the salted wound
Learn to survive from the advice you preached to me passing you by on video
92 times to be exact yes I'm still as live.

The Final Breath of Babydoll

Babydoll once was radiant, smiles streaming across her face
Until the day came darkness consumed silencing her words
A voice once everyone enjoyed to listen, her laugh made a day
of pain became sunshine with the mist of rain brush
against their cheeks
The moment others wanted to see her fault spreading lies to
the ones so close to her the truth became silent without lips
To form the expressions, she was pushed ,forced to withhold
not speaking while thoughts of what it will feel at this
moment to know the meaning of numb
Floating beyond the silver lining clouds
Reaching touching the tips of the stars shining so bright
your eyes lost in the beauty forgetting how pain was ugly
Not wanting to look back scared of falling into the moments
of Watching the endless sea never ending as life is to be filled
with love to share with that special someone
Dreams created for us to imagine what is suppose to be
Glancing past a stranger or your best friend kindness
shows in every direction with calm sincere purity reveals
itself
Not lurking in shadows scared to have a voice because of
replies others say to hurt bring tears unworthiness
That is so untrue but they refuse to hear
Please let me continue drifting away so far I forget what
was even my name to a place you no longer need to breathe
Someday a name maybe remembered and that was
Babydoll once was her name

My Dearest Best Friend

I know you're about to fall, don't worry I'll catch you in my arms
If there's something new, I could say or do
Like the times before, you always stood strong
Do you see what I see my dearest best friend
I hide my tears from you, so blame never comes to life
Please listen to what I say, today may be low
But it's only a day
For many to come happy, your strength within
To me that man is here to say
Take a few steps back so you can breathe
Open those beautiful big brown eyes ,this shall pass
Like all the people now that come and go out of your life
I would move mountains, carry you thousand of miles
To protect you from the misery around
I promise to be by your side
Through the nightmares, the Cobb webs try to smother to take what little hope we both may have
I have enough hope for us both
Just let me carry you through this
You'll never feel pain again
I'll always love you my dearest best friend
Always and forever until the end of time
