~ For You ~

 

Lay me down beside you

I'll always be right there

My body, my warmth, my everything

When you need it... take it.

Close your eyes and feel it

Feel me easy your weary body;

Your bleeding heart;

Your busy mind.

 

I want to wrap my arms around you

Protect you from the hurt

The people who will cross your path,

And those that have before

My tortured mind and failing body

Ache to have you near

But I close my eyes

I'm warm - I can't help but feel your here

 

I fell in love with your mind

Your character, words & rhymes

Then your voice, laughs & sighs

Your midnight tunes and daybreak goodbyes

Now it's everything, just you

All you arre and the only way you know to be

 

Good bye is not forever

I tell myself each day

A time will come when there will be

A place for you and me

~ A.I.D.S ~

 

Acquired

Immune

Diffinciency

Syndrome

 

A disease that sweeps through the world as if it knows No guilt -No pain - No heartache - No Love

I ache to my very core, for those who lose

Ultimately who doesn't when involved with this... A.I.D.S

To watch someone die of such a cruel, degrading disease would make me surely die myself

I am so afraid to be struck down

It scares me more than any one thing

To be absolutely powerless...

No Cure, No vaccine, No mercy on anyone who steps in it's path

Yet I feel such a passion towards this thing called A.I.D.S

Maybe it is because it is so devastating and heartwrenching

Unexplainable to me

But when I see those images on TV

I feel in my heart I need to help

Yet all I can seem to do is cry

Cry for those helpless individuals and lost souls

~ Mirror ~

 

Try to hold your head up high

Be proud of who you are

For because your spirit left you

Does not mean that it is dead

Look harder at yourself... you'll see it deep inside

Set that mirror aside

Close your eyes... and let it thrive
