Why Did You Break Your Promise?

When we talked on the phone, you mentioned us together forever.
When we spoke you said you promised to be here for me forever.
When you said that it made me smile, the thought of your breaking it made me cry.
I knew you wouldn't be here forever, I knew eventually you'd die.
When you mentioned your fate, I didn't expect it to come the next day.
The promise always meant a lot to me, and I took it to seriously.
Now the thought that you might be dead is killing me. 
Worse off because I don't know, you don't answer your phone and thats not like you.
I guess you said you loved me because some how you knew.
You talked to me you sang to me, and now not doing that is killing me.
Why did you break your promise?
Why did you have to go?
Why did you leave me stranded in an ocean of you?
Why can't you take me with you?
I want to go to.
I guess that forever isn't that long.
I guess that your promise wasn't in vein.
I guess you loved me while you still could.
Now there isn't anything that is as it should.
There isn't anyone that can cheer me up like you could.
Why can't I go to heaven with you?
Why can't it be my time to go?
I'm sad you broke your promise, not only because it hurts but because I lost you when you 
did it....

Still Can'T Let Go

It was clear from the beginning, I 
was born to love no other.
It was clear to my heart that it found 
it's proper owner.
Many things got fuzzy, everything 
was catastrophic, but one thing 
never changed.
I can't forget my love for you, I can't 
forget your touch.
I can't forget your voice, I can't forget 
your sight.
I can't ignore how my body cries for 
you, and most certainly not the pain 
my heart feels. 
I don't like being with out you, I don't 
like the hostility in my heart of 
disgracing your image and wanting it 
more than ever. I can't control the 
battle that losing you puts me 
through, a battle against myself, an 
infinite realm in which I have no 
better outcome than perishing after 
you. I hopelessly wait for my time, I 
long for the day to reunite with you. I 
planned a whole lifetime together, 
my mind can't process the idea of 
our life not allowing the opportunity. 
I want you, I need you, time can't 
heal me, its impossible. I love you, I'll 
cry it forever. I scream to the world, 
past the universe past the point of 
my capable vocal chords. I'd fight 
with anyone who stood between us, 
nothing can take me from you. You 
have my thoughts, my heart, my soul 
and my body. My first real lover, the 
first to gain my approval, the first to 
make me scream "Yes!!" due to the 
hand you took. I shed my tears for 
you, and they won't stop coming. I 
gave you everything, and the only 
thing I'll be able to do is live my life 
for you. I'm confused though, how 
can I live this life when I don't want it, 
I loathe the day I couldn't live my life 
with you, I became accustomed to 
you, to our routine. They say young 
love is stupid, idiotic, unfathomable, 
but it was the most real, most 
wanted most confusing and pleasing 
thing I've gone through. How can 
something hurt and cause so much 
pleasure. There's a reason you place 
your pride aside for your love.. And 
that's the sole reason

Please Don'T Go.

I feel his skin so close to mine,
I feel his hands carressing me lovingly.
I still feel him all over me.


I know he's there,
I hear his voice.
I feel his hands holding me.


I can tell him I love him,
but he always knows
everything before I tell him.


He makes me smile,
he makes me laugh,
I never feel this way with another,

He who knows me so well,
he knows I won't betry him,
I holds him closely.

He who knows I trust him,
does he lie?
I know he wouldn't.

Everytime he walks away,
I want him to stay,
and I whisper,

Please don't go.

The Terrible Silence

You took what I treasured, the pain, 
the shame.
The best of you lingered, and the 
worst was surprise.
The silence of that night, with a bitter 
mistake.
My innosence; oh how naive I was.
You have plagued me with darkness.
A rose with sharp thorns.
You build my wall, one to never be 
torn down.
The male presence has me paranoid; 
a feeling you'll never know.
I would not wish this on anyone.
The fear. The paranoia. The doubts. 
A few things I suffer from now.
Anxiety. Depression. 
I'm afraid of my screams and even a 
simple knock on my door.
I'm afraid of my dreams; a hell, a 
reality.
The unpleasant thought of being 
alone, the burden of the dark.
The mistake that caused the flower 
to rot.
Not enough water, the terrible hand 
of a misguided bug.
Lower than dirt, nothing at all.
Return this flower to the soil, never to 
be picked again. 
Stay away for those who don't want 
to suffer the stinging of the rose.

My Song

Nothing's different, nothing's even 
the same.
There's no worries, only the slight 
pain.
I wish I could tell you, everything that 
I think.
Only you'll end up calling it stupidity.
I don't hate you, I hate how I feel.
It's not your fault, it's just my heart.
Though now I know, everything's 
going to change.
There's not much I can do..

I want to shout to the ocean, how 
much I love you
I want it spoken clear, that I'm here 
for you
Don't deny me, because nothing 
hurts more.
Than to know.. That you don't want 
"us" anymore.

I didn't know it, how much you meant 
to me.
It was bright then, now everything's 
blurry.
And it scars me deep, how you treat 
me..
I should disdain it, but it just feels so 
wrong.
We were one, you were my consort.
But here we are, now so far apart.

I want to reverse it, how you just left 
me.
I want to change it, everything I did.
You were for me, but you're gone 
after all.
But you'll take my heart, it'll be yours 
forevermore.

Now I'm empty, there's not much I 
can do.
We have ceased now, but now it's so 
cold.
So here I go, alone on my journey.
That was supposed to be a voyage 
for two...

Wheres the Love You Had?

Every night you throw punches,
every night you don't let us sleep.
Wheres the love you had for her?
Wheres the compassion you should have showed?
When you said I do did than mean I will hit you?
When you first hit her, did you realize it?
Dad I can't stand to see mom cry.
Mom I can't stand it when you let him torture you.
It's killing the family and making us cry.
Dad your going to kill her.
Mom your gonna die!!!
It's horrible to hear the screams every night!
It's depressing to see you bruised up mom.
One morning you'll never wake up.
One day we're going to loose you,
both you and dad.
You always said not to let a man touch us, 
does that apply to you too?
It's the next day you don't leave the room mom.
You don't get up, I don't think you can.
Why are they putting that blanket over you?
Why are they taking dad away?
Mom!! Wake up!!
Where'd my sister go?
Where are we going?
Who are those people? Why are we here?
Where's the love you had?
Where's the love you had for us?
Where's the love you had for each other?



To all those women who let a man boss them around like wothless trash.

You deserve better. =)

Love Poem

We were once so close
we were once one.
I new everything about you,
you knew everthing about me.
I gave you the chance
you threw it in my face.
I gave you an inch
You took a mile.
You always said you cared for me
I always made you my priority.
I was a mere option
You aremy whole life.
I gave my life to you,
yougve me a shadow of you.
This love will never be the same.
I don't think we should wait until the end.
I'm bracing myself for the heartbreak,
your holding it so I can live with the suspense.

You

I still see you, 
I still feel you.
I want to tell you so many things, 
but I don't have to nerve to speak.
I want to feel your warmth,
I want to hear your voice.
tell me that you love me,
say that you won't let me go.
Tell me what you feel,
your eyes don't lie anymore.
Hold me tight don't you let me go.
Don't tell me that you don't love me,
you only sell out your own lies.

From This To Then.

From the first time we met,
to the first time we touched.
From the first time we kissed,
to the first time we hugged.
From when you met my dad,
to when I met your mom.
From when you said "I love you",
to the first time I said "I love you too".
From when you first kneeled down,
to when I said I do.
From when we went on our honey moon
To when we came back home.
I realized I always have you,
just like you have me too.
I never want to let you go,
but I think that you should know.
I'll always be your trusted friend,
wife and much much more.
From when we first met,
to when we'll last be together
now and forever.....

Voices

Many voices in my head.
Should I listen or turn away?
They tell me to forget,
they tell me to remember.
What should I do?
I'm very confused!
Quietness is now all around.
Am I going crazy?
Will I soon go blind?
Everything was normal,
when did it all change?
Everything repeating, 
word after word.
When will it all stop?
Will I end up alone?
Will I slowly fade?
I'm slowly dying 
and now I see nothing,
but your smile taunting me.
Is it you I hear?
I hope so....
