Yellow Rose

Planted as a memory of life,
to remember your happiness
in a world so harsh and cold.

I miss everything about you.
A touch that is no longer felt
and a smile that is no longer seen.
My weeping cannot stop.

I will try to abide by your final wish
and never shed a tear.
I will always be able to see you.

My curtains remain open as darkness falls.
All I have to do to remember you
is smile at your rose.

I will never forget the laughter
we had and the songs we sang,
the hugs we gave if ever we felt down.
It's true what they say, memories live on.

Clear divide

I hate violence it spoils the world.
     I hate coldness as opposed to warmth.
          I hate a mountain of lies.
               I hate the weeds that clutter the earth.
                    I hate the winter; it depresses the days.
                         I hate unhealthiness; it drags you down.
                              I hate the time to pass too quickly.
                                   Instead,
                                        We should all unite.
                                   I love the time to creep slowly by.
                              I love the healthiness that prolongs a life.
                         I love the summer to brighten my time.
                    I love flowers as they provide a gift.
               I love the moment an oath is made.
          I love heat as opposed to coldness.
     I love the world as it is.              

Why?

My breathe was always taken away
as you held the love I'd been searching for
and left me wanting more.

Your addiction was a step too far
or was it a cry for help?
A tragic waste of life.

It should have not ended this way.
I made a wrong decision.
I should have been more patient.

A chunk of me is missing.
My life is now a blur
aching without your touch.

Struggling to say a goodbye,
the pain is too hard to bear.
I can only lay a flower
and leave you with a kiss.

For a love that nobody else knew.

In need

If a child sits quietly saying there is nothing wrong get ready to catch the many falling tears and always spare a hug.

Spare a thought

Don't turn a blind eye
when a child's in need,
they may be hiding,
they may be hurting,
or probably broken hearted.

As the endless tears
fall onto her blemished skin
that was so pure and innocent
but now forever hurt.

Spare a second to listen.
Don't miss a chance to help.

Imperfect Child

Why didn’t you show mercy on your daughter?

Knowing from the start you should never

have committed the crime.

I curse you for the damage you left.

Shame you didn’t the truth.

Sadly my angel was never believed;

too young to speak up for herself.

I trusted you with my precious gift,

you returned her with many scars.

Fearful images now dance behind her eyes,

so haunted from the past.

Layers began to rot away to reveal your inner self.

Thinking you were a genius to spin a web of tales

as you raise your fists and kick your feet

to constantly vent your rage.

You even pushed her down.

                

She thought she made a mistake.

When I told her she hadn’t

her eyes always glaze with tears.

Even a hug makes her flinch with fear.

Leaving us both to piece together fragments

of our shattered lives.

We’ll never trust you again.

With a clearer perspective on life

and a pain that is not so sharp,

we prefer only the easy things in life.

Pure and simple love.

She has conquered all her fears and 

progresses through life with a smile.

Thank God you are not in our lives.

Wait for me

I considered our love a celebration,

that always left me breathless

when your feelings led the way.

You weren’t like anybody else I met, 

never too afraid to shed a tear.

Even saying you were sorry

when you committed a rare mistake.

I can’t imagine life without you.

My heart feels permanently shattered as

I struggle to live each day.

You are always in my dreams.

There doesn’t seem a point to continue.

You were my only source of inspiration.

I have now lost faith in life.

My heart has ceased to function.

You won’t be alone for much longer.

I’ll be joining you in that special place,

to continue with our love.

This time I will stay close beside you.

Where our love will never end.
