Thank you tifa, I feel like I'm in a rut right now.


Shadows

Images abound
In my shadow world
Where love dies
In my shadow heart

Slain I was
In times of love
A greater sorrow
Could not occur

Will you walk
In my shadow world
Learn to love
My shadow heart

You 3

You are in my heart
I love you so
Why I drove us apart
I will never know

I cannot escape your face
It is all around me
It is my saving grace
For an angel I see

Although I am now adrift
On the river of life
My feelings will not shift
I wish we had no strife

I love you

But if I told you I loved you
Would it make you want to stay
I am sorry for the way I hurt you
And making you walk away

And if I wrote you a love song
And sang it to you every day
Would it ever be enough to make you
Wanna come back home and stay

So I sing you my love song
Each and every day
Please stay here with me
And do not walk away

The poem above, "I love you" was written mostly by a facebook friend. I modified some of it and added a few lines.

The following poem, "Trapped" was on a facebook friend post. I edited nothing.


Trapped

It is woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I cannot escape this now
Unless you show me how

Death

You are my everything
I love you so
The day I lost your love
I died inside

Now I wander
In a world of mists
Wondering what to do
With the love I miss

Nothing to do now
But lay down and die
I love you with my breath
As I breathe my last sigh

Her eyes

Do not look
Into her eyes
They will tear you up
All inside

They are soft and shining
Full of spirit and love
Clearly meant for an angel
Sent from heaven above

They lock me in
Chains so tight
Seeing her eyes
This must be right

Letting go

I love you so
I am reluctant
To let you go
From my life

When I close my eyes
You are in my sight
And my dreams
Feel so right

Just the two of us
Living together
Without a fuss
In blissful love

I must be stupid

Why do I go on
Hoping without hope
Praying things will change
I must be a dope

When love fades
Someone’s does not die
They want to reconnect
They want to try

It tears me up to see
You in the arms of another man
I love and wish you happiness
Hard for me to understand

Is life worth living
Without the arrows of cupid
In a constant state of hurt
Makes me seem stupid

You know it’s over
As tears coat your feet
Nothing left to lose
Time to hit the street

My love

Does my love
Mean nothing to you
It is all I ever
Think say or do

I still replay
That fateful day
The words in my mind
What I need to say

To heal the hurt and pain
I caused you
Because my dear
It hurt me too

Sorry does not suffice
To heal a heart
Please darling
Let us not part

Torn apart

I cannot see myself loving any but you
I cringe inside of thoughts holding another in my arms
It tears me apart knowing you will be held in another’s arms
What I say herein is true I only want to love you

Did we have to come to this being torn apart
Destroying our world of love that still exists in my heart
I guess I have to go and let my love fade away
But just give me a sign I will ecstatically stay

You know I dream of you
The full softness of your lips
If you ever loved me
You would stay the ship

I am sick

I am sick
All up inside
Knowing how you feel
That your love has died

So my feet are set
On this road alone
No escape exists
In any home

I loved and I lost
My tears fall thick
I have cried so much
I am sick

Dreams2

When dreams escape
What do you do
Do you sit alone
Unhappy and blue

If it is not true
It simply will not be
I still wish
My dream happened for me

For two in love
Is better than one alone
And two can create
A very happy home

So to love
I bid adieu
For my dream was
To love you

Fox

Although my heart
Is true and pure
I could not escape
A fox and her lure

It is all
So plain to see
Her charms
Have smitten me

Since my heart
Is pure and true
I do not want
To stop loving you

I will wait
Throughout the year
Please love me now
Be my dear
