POEMS VI

Drowning

Slowly the shore disappears
Leaving me floating in the sea
Waves crash over my head
Dragging me down
Further and further I go
Wishing I could find my way out
Struggling to breathe
Fighting with all I have
Just to survive

Fragile Heart

You don't realize how easily I hurt
Once a heart is broke,
It is so very fragile
Cracks showing everywhere
Why should I trust you?
Why should i give you my heart?
How do I know you will care for it?
Will it break again?
Or will you be the one to make it whole again?

Peace

Powerful
Everlasting
Amazing
Changes
Everything

I Promise

I promise that I will never forget
The pain and heartache
No matter what
I will remember your love
Even though it hurts
I will keep you in my heart
I promise

I Reach For You

I reach for you
But you're not there
Taken from me
Much too soon
Why are you gone?
I need you so badly
All I can do is cry
Wishing you would come home
But you can't
You're gone, forever.
For no reason at all
I never even got to say goodbye,
or tell you how I love you
I reach for you
But all I get is air.

Untitled

I wish that people would see
Just how great this world could be
If only the hate vanished
And all evil was banished
Living in a place filled with love
Our symbol a simple dove
Why is there pain?
Does anybody gain?
Why so much hate?
It isn't too late.
The world can still mend.
And suffering will end.
Peace doesn't have to be an illusion
In this world filled with confusion.

Shattered

Nothing ever stays the same
In an instant my perfect world was shattered
I never expected it
Things changed without my permission
Dreams were left scattered in millions of pieces
Nothing was the same anymore
I could barely recognize anything
I was forced into change
When all I wanted was for things to stay the same
Why must thing change?
Why must hearts break into millions of pieces?
Can anybody be happy,
Living in a shattered world.

My First Night Without You

I knew you had to leave
I prepared myself as I waved goodbye
But I wasn't prepared for this
My first night without you
I lie in bed wondering
Will I ever see you again?
Will you survive?
Will you be hurt?
Will you hurt someone else?
Will this war change you?
I wish that you could have stayed home
But that wasn't my choice
If it was so many things would be different
But you had to go
So now I'm alone
Wondering when I will see you again
On my first night without you.
