Three Simple Words

three simple words
so hard to say
it's not your fault
i feel this way

the truth i know
is hard to take
a lot to lose
your love at stake

the things i did
the lies i spoke
the games i played
your heart i broke

the lie i live
the truth i hide
the pain i cause
can't be denied

three simple words
so hard to say
it's not your fault
i feel this way

the lies i keep
the tears i shed
three simple words
remain unsaid

Our Friendship

Things will happen, as they will
Not necessarily as they should
And if I could travel back in time
To set things right I would

But what's done is done I can't go back
There's nothing I can do
I can't believe I put to risk
The bond I share with you

So now I beg forgiveness
For the mess that I've created
And I pray to mighty God
that by you I won't be hated

No one else can understand
The friendship that we share
Through thick and thin, we can depend
That the other will be there

I tried to write a poem

I tried to write a poem
About the way I feel for you
The words they wouldn't come
I didn't know what to do

I looked up at the stars
With hopes of inspiration
The words still wouldn't come
I was nearing desperation

I shook my head and had a thought
I knew where I would start
I smiled and shut my eyes
And looked inside my heart

I grabbed my pen and paper
My hand began to write
I wrote so many words
I didn't sleep that night

When all was said and done
And all the words were wrote
I read what I had written
And made a mental note

"Show him that you like him
This poem just won't do
Show him that you care
Through all the things you do"

So I gave up on the poem
My feelings remain unread
I've traded all my written words
For a hug and kiss instead

If it was really meant to be

When I gave up on that poem
And left my feelings unread
There are things I said that day
I really shouldn't have said

It's not that I regret it
Just that things were going fast
And now that I look back at it
I knew things wouldn't last

Now I shake my head and try to think
Of the things I've said and done
So I close my eyes and wonder
Of why I thought you were the one

I try to find the reasons
Of why I felt this way
But my heart, it wouldn't lie
I told the truth that day

And now I'll give up on this poem
And simply wait and see
For faith will bring us back together
If it was really meant to be

A reflection of me

Mesmerized by the ocean
A reflection of me
Its secrets remain hidden
For no one to see

One minute so calm
And then comes the wind
The waves start crashing
The raging begins

They head for the shore
There's no turning back
The power they have
It is control that they lack

They get to the coast
The tumbling begins
Rising and falling
They're slaves to the wind

As they collapse on the shore
They pray for the end
The storm won't give up
It starts over again

As fast as it came
The winds will subside
The ocean is calm
The waves have died down

The secrets remain
In the depths of the sea
Hidden in the ocean
The reflection of me

Final Goodbye

Wind in my hair
Tears in my eyes
I stand at the cliff
And scream at the skies

I scream of my love
My hate
And my pain

I scream at the clouds
The sea
And the rain

I scream to be heard
By God
And by you

I scream
And it hurts
The pain is so true

Wind in my hair
No tears in my eyes
I've screamed at the sky
My final goodbye

Love Affairs

Don't tell me that you're sorry
It makes it seem you care
You broke my heart
I should have known
Damn those love affairs

The times we spent together
Were nothing more than flings
The fun we had
The laughs we shared
They didn't mean a thing

Don't tell me that you're sorry
It makes it seem you care
You broke my heart
I should have known
Damn those love affairs

Sorry Isn't Enough

I know sorry isn't enough
I know sorry just won't do
But I'm here to apologize
For the pain that I caused you

I know you might not forgive me
I know you're pretty mad
But I hope you'll hear me out
Because I really do feel bad

What's done is done
I can't go back
There's nothing I can do
So I'll tell you that I'm sorry
It will just have to do

Who Is My Enemy?

This

Enemy

Valentine 2001

Cupid got me square
Smack dab in the heart
Then fly away he did
I guess he'd done his part
But little did I know
He had a plan: part two
He set off on a mission
And found his target: you
I guess he must have got
You in the heart as well
Then set us on a path
He'd planned it very well
A trail of destiny
Is what he had in mind
A game of hide-and-seek
For the other half to find
He intended on two winners
In this fateful match
Both victors in his eyes
He'd made the perfect match
No, Cupid wasn't stupid
He knew what he was doing
He joined our souls together
And made a bind that's never ending.

Father Time

Will this day ever end?
It’s way too long for me
I could plead with Father Time
To speed things up a bit
Do you think that if I begged,
There’s a chance he might submit?
I’m not sure if that will work
I’ll have to wait and see
But that’s the thing with Father Time
I might wait an eternity
