LOVE INDEED... Not spending your nights alone You want to redo everything Their words activate your soul Your days are no longer cold Time seems to go so fast Feel complete when they get back Taste their kisses in the wind You think of futuristic things Awakening with them on your brain can't go a day without talking to them Feels like something is missing the whole day Until the moment they show up again You believe in them, no matter what others say No one can't break you apart You know they are your soul mate from the start They will forever, remain in your heart
IS OVER WHEN... There is nothing left to be said Words that you said can't be replaced You wish the day was over They give you their cold shoulder You wish that you was elsewhere When you look at them, there is no one there Nothing else they say make you smile Your mind is filled with so much doubt Arguing becomes the new way to talk You want to take shorter walks You don't miss them throughout the day Your heart is filled with cry-full pain Everything becomes more than what it is Puzzled with questions deep within When your body no longer wants their affection and your heart is no longer at attention
SORRY... I thought you had my back until the very end as I would done for you you was my own best friend Your sorry, for no thinking before your actions you hope that I forgive you but got a different reaction Trust is so hard to obtain but, harder to maintain It all went down so fast for us like a house burning down in flames Please don't go, you asked me but, I never felt this hurt I was not good enough for you then Sorry, will just not work
THE GAME... Is in this game You were so mixed Believe it you was there She took your soul everywhere She fooled you into believing You needed her to survive But, she destroyed your man hood With everything you tried At the point, that you met her you were married to the streets instead of your lonely wife Who what’s there for you in need In the game, you got lost and she still remains the same that's the last we heard of you messing around with cocaine
TORN... From the moment we met, you took my heart and ran with it I should of listened to my friends when they said you was no good but, I thought real deep with-in That you was just miss-understood I should of seen it coming apart, because of all the lies You played games with my heart and had the perfect alibi I can’t believe what you said and that you just made me sad You left me so puzzled and all I wanted was your love I wanted to stay in your arms but, what can I do now Sit around and wait again For you to come back somehow I know we lost all that we had, how could I ever be mad I finally get to say goodbye, poof !!! be gone No, I don't feel angry any more but, my heart feels like is torn
C.H.A.R.I.T.Y Coins, dollars and water bottles I see y'all give them away I'm hungry and thirsty May I please have some today? I apologize, did not see your there I want to go home but, where? The train and buses I do not own but, where else can I call home I need some money, is not for drugs Can you see that I am just lost? I need to feed my children but, I can’t afford the cost Tomorrow is another day I'll stop begging y'all for now Thank you for all you giving and see you again somehow
DON'T SAY GOODBYE Where there is love, there is a tomorrow It is your love that I will fallow Please be mines without a fight Promise you'll make it alright I will love you always I will never leave your sight Please say that you will be mines and love me until the end of time No one will ever replace The good and the love we share It will never fade away because, it will always be there It is you that I adore Please don't you walk out that door? Don't say good-bye, don't you leave I need you here for eternity
WITH YOU The sun never been this bright the skies never seem so clear the winters never been this warm until the day you appeared My days never felt so short my heart never been this jumpy I ache at the thought of your kisses your lips is what I been missing Thank you, for all that you give me for your words of courage and wisdom for being so thoughtful to me and giving me your love endlessly Without you, I feel so empty my days never the same I pray, you will always be here and our love forever remains
I'M YOURS I give you my all heart, body and soul tell you my best kept secrets and anything that's missing I give you myself complete and truthfully I'll give you anything and everything you need I pray for us each day I say each prayer with grace I finally found someone who puts a smile on my face I am yours, today, tomorrow and always you cannot be replaced your all I'm thinking of each day that I awake
BODY OF LOVE My Face Lights up lights up when I see yours, smiling back at me My Eyes Will not blink for a second, because I don't want to miss anything My Nose Loves to have you close to me so, that I can smell your cologne My Legs Tremble at the thought of you and the sound of your sexy voice My Hands Have to hold your hands each day so, that I can feel safe again My Lips Can't wait to kiss yours again because they are as sweet as candy My Ears Like to hear you say my name because, it sounds special coming from you My Heart Feels so empty when we are apart because, you carry pieces of my heart
DEEP I gave up on love I said I'll never love again Love was long gone from my system but, you showed me what I was missing I felt it deep in my heart Maybe, everything else was apart Now, I'm swimming like a dove Can you blame me I'm in love Love never entered this way My heart never felt this great I thank God for you each day and, that I found in you my soul mate Deep into this ocean of love I never thought I would dive so hard Now, there is nothing we can do but, wish that we never part
REST IN PEACE All this time I tried to change you I should of loved you for you You always loved me the same Despite of what we've been through They say you never know What you got until is gone You were a star to many of us Who now feel so alone You made a difference in our lives Our hearts will never forget you You are one of a kind No one could ever replace you Our hearts are now broken No one could mend it together I know, today I have to say goodbye to you but, it will not be forever
CAPTURED You have something of mines That I guarded all this time Your words broke down my walls I feel just like a new born How can I ever go back My heart loved you from the start Loving you made me feel so complete With out you I can not breath You make me feel I can fly Like the world belongs to us I feel like a child at play For the first time in a park Tell me you will never leave me That our love will always stay Today, tomorrow and always We will forever remain
SCARED Some say love hurts well, I feel the pain I can't get the feeling out my brain The one that makes my heart strain You say that you love me, In conclusion How come I can't see it ? How come I can't feel it ? All I seem to know is confusion I feel lost and alone No reason for us to remain All we have is painful memories Of what we had to sustain I thought we would never end You and I was were never meant Now all I do is regret That day that we ever met
WHAT IF... We did not ever meet Held on to each other deep Apart we were meant to be Togetherness never comes It was all a physical attraction Forever is not what we want We do not see eye to eye Hurting each other more every time Always make each other cry True love we never find It was not all that we expected Forever we get lost in the world We had no one to blame for our actions How can we ever forgive each other All that we had fades away Today we change our ways If we let our love go to waste Friends we will remain
LOST -N- FOUND We stared at each other for a brief moment The world just stopped moving Maybe it was me but, when you looked at me, I just knew it I found myself a real soul mate I miss you more each day Can not wait to have you by my side I fallen so deep, I cannot lie You've showed me a new way You make me feel so complete Maybe, it was just for that night but, everything felt so right My love will always be yours Where ever you are, I'll follow Because in you I found myself and hope for tomorrow
WHY SHOULD I CARE... Can you give me a reason why tears have not stop falling why my mind is still in shock and my heart you were controlling You want to continue or restart like this love of ours is a game why should I care what you want If all you do is break my heart Giving all my love to you respecting your wishes and trusting you I gave you my heart to hold forever You take it for granted? Never I'm glad we ended this fight everything will be alright I'm done with living a lie I no longer want to try
I SHOULD OF KNOWN If I listened to my heart It was visible like a star you will never be true to me should of known that from the start Deep feelings of regrets and beyond I should of went with my thoughts said it will not last forever I guess I was not that clever Now I'm sitting here. Alone and confused lost for words and feeling used but, I have to think of tomorrow to a place where there is no sorrow I never should of took it there even though my heart for you still cares but, now I have to make it back home without you, I should of known

REAL LOVE The night was still young beautiful as our new love we held each other for so long It was magic all day long Our spirits joint together our mind,body and souls awoke we knew it from the start this love was meant to embark We were both gentle as we should have acquired falling into a deep ocean of love and full of wet desires As we joined together as one we said, I love you at once I'm glad we saved the best for last when I love you said it back

UNHAPPY HOME Happiness What is that ? You smile for a while then back to a frown There is no happiness, not in this home filled with no trust and no one to hold Trying to remember, the good times we shared and it brings me right back to the days that you never cared Happy home is what I'm after now I just want to go back to the happy home we once had
I FEEL IT I feel it, deep with in you got me, under your spell a love like this I never felt you stole my heart right from under my belt I can not concentrate on nothing else I cant sleep when we are apart finally found someone that makes it last thank you for being the best I had I said I would never love again but I cant imagine my life without you everything has changed for the better I will be with you in every weather I feel the love deep inside my soul I know that you are the one please, don't give my love away and we will forever remain
HEALING Needing affection wanting to be caressed I felt so lucky unlike the rest Tell me your secrets lets talk about us goodnight kisses and midnight hugs Is like valentines through out the years no more sadness inside or unhappy tears healing has begun the one I truly feel safe with I thought you knew that I was blue Healing can only come from you
IS IT OVER ? Can we talk? the world has became so cold no need to stick around and feel strange our love is now filled with pain Do we really need to forget? Our body language says we not able Seeing each other feeling miserable will not make it go away Don't you wish that we've never met? I never felt this sad inside How will I ever replace what we had My heart wants to forget you last Is it over, will it last ? Will we just regret our past our love is to strong to be outgrown Lets just go back to the place we used to call home
ALL, I HAD I gave you my ALL but you took everything I HAD this love we shared turned into PAIN I just no longer feel the SAME I'm giving up on us once and for ALL I miss my past and all I HAD the chain is now broke I'm no longer in PAIN and you are free to roam, is never the SAME Today I freed my heart, I done with it ALL I said goodbye to a love I HAD wish I never felt the PAIN I'm done with fighting to keep feeling the SAME Think of me, I will forget it ALL when you miss the joy in your life we HAD when you feel alone and in PAIN I will never go back to the SAME
I NEVER KNEW When love is gone it takes your soul nothing you do makes you feel whole It takes your heart and flips it away You never trust the same again I opened my eyes, to find your not there No one looking at me, no breathing on my neck only the molds of your body where you once laid the bed is so cold, I felt like if I was dead I haven't been the same since you left I thought we were inseparable that nothing will ever get between us I never saw it coming, Now stop and think I am here to declare my love I never knew I would feel this way about you I cant help the way I feel so cold please bay will you just come back home
BABY BLUES... I can not wait to see your smile Your soft hands holding my finger tight waking up endlessly through out the night just to make sure that you alright I want to kiss your little cheeks sitting there so rosy and pink you as cute as a button with beautiful skin keeping you safe from hurtful things I want to give you daddy's last name and my last will be the same I will love you forever no one could ever replace you I am crying out to the world send me an angel from above until that day comes, I will just be blue and sit right here and wait for you

MY DEFINITION OF LOVE Saying the words through your eyes your heart speaks from itself being apart makes you want to cry because you need them by your side knowing that one day is not enough feeling they are completely yours you cant wait to sign on the dotted line where your name becomes one of a kind Never having to say your sorry Not feeling emotionally used Joy and laughter comes easy Never feeling confused Feeling like you won the lotto being together for today and tomorrow everyday feels like a glove knowing they were sent from above
HE MAKES ME... He makes me Smile, cry and dream all in one Laugh, joyful and happy inside This one really stole my heart He makes me Feel like the world is always ours Feel like I'm under misty rain showers Feel secure about tomorrow He makes me Stop thinking negative thoughts Understand the woman he loves Feels as pretty as an angel above He makes me Want more of his love each day Look at the stars in a different way Love myself and love him the same
MISSING YOU Sitting here reminiscing what could I have done different we can just turn back the hands of time to a place where you was mines Things have changed between us there is no denying that look back at the times we shared it was ticking like a clock I want it back, me and you until the time stop ticking again I want everything to remain I will love you until my dying day I miss you baby, please come back home give me your heart, body and soul don't leave me out in the rain with out you I'll go insane
STOLE I remember at one time No one could get to my heart It was not that I was shy I just did not want to cry My heart was blocked from abused Feeling lost and misused You made feel you was true and I never felt confused This was not supposed to happen What have you done to me? Loving you is so easy to do My days with you are never blue I wanted this for so long My heart feels like it's own I'm stronger then I've ever been Thankful that my heart you stole
BROWN EYES I look into his brown eyes and I see our future indeed clearly and so much that I couldn't before this is the man that loves me forever more I look into his brown eyes and it makes me realize wow many days that went by and I never felt how I feel now I look into his brown eyes and he looks deep into mines memories come back of our many happy times he has never made me cry I look into his brown eyes all that I can do is smile he makes me feel brand new like a new born baby child
FEELINGS... What are they really for most people just leave them at the door Why make up then is all over towards the end reality bites so hard that you can even be their friends why should anyone care soon enough they disappear all the years wasted with nothing to show but tears If love is not what you want don't keep that person around make sure they keep a smile and not making them just frown Feelings that is all we have you can place them in your path never to return back say goodbye and just leave it in the past
UN-PRETTY Yes, you have a long nose Yes, you have some big lips what about the beauty that only grows from within Looking for perfection for the world to never see what about what your about can they see that in a crowd Everyone seems big on beauty outside in the public eyes what about that heart of gold that we all possess inside Can people see that you cry can people see your alone is not for them judge you only the one from above
TEMPTATION There you was, standing before me like someone who did not know me but, I knew I wanted you to be mines It was all over my face and mind You looked at me and I looked away did not want you to see that it was written all over my face I wanted you for just a while you always make me want to smile I kissed you once in a dark alley but, it was all just a dream then you woke me up when you said my name but, I never felt the same As you told me, you had the same dream I wanted to be your fantasy giving myself to you as I mentioned but it was all just a temptation
TAKE ME AWAY Take me away From all this pain from all the stress from all the cries I want you now one day at a time in a class of our own where are bodies will unfold Give me all of you stay by my side make me feel good inside take me to ecstasy with your eyes Take me in your new world keep me safe from harm don't ever leave or let me go lets go to places nobody knows
A POEM FOR MY CHILD Tiny feet and tiny hands I promise to love you with all I have I'll make sure your always safe and warm You are unique, like no other one You are such a beauty inside and out my memories of you will never fade from the first time I held you I knew you were specially made Growing up now, so fast in this cold world I hope that you will always remember mommy, loves you no matter what because you are a piece of my heart
DEAD WITH IN.. Where is my heart where is my soul you took it all and then you was gone I feel nothing inside my tears all cried out angry is not the word I'm torn up in pieces you know Finally I came to realize you never loved me how cant I be so blind now I'm sitting here lonely Dead with in my souls in not complete how can you be so cruel and tell me that you love me
NOT ANYMORE You said it first I saved your soul bur, I love you was just words you showed me how to be so cold you filled me with broken promises you told me this would not happen how come I feel lost and confused bruised heart and confused I thought you loved me for real but that's not how I feel my thoughts got to painful moments all this seems just unreal Give me my heart back I don't want to be with you we are not meant to be look at what you put me through
