Aloneby Keri
Who would have thought
This is how we would be
This is what has become
Of what was once you and me
I pour out my heart
But you don't say a word
But every soft whisper
In your heart I know is heard
When I do hear your voice
Calling out to me
I turn to run to you
Then know it cannot be
I reach out to touch you
To hold you once again
But you don't reach back
Leaving an emptiness within
My hand sweeps across the ground
Where you now peacefully sleep
Longing for you to reach up
And rise from the grave, so deep
I gently kiss your name
Engraved upon the stone
And am left to cry at your graveside
Left to cry alone
I long to know so many answers
As to why you left me without saying good-bye
And what caused you to hurt so badly
That you felt you must die
I wish I could have been there for you
And often think of taking your same route
But then I think of all life's blessings
All the blessings you did without
I will face all of life's battles
Without you by my side
I can't help but think if I had fought them with you
Would it be you who would have died?
I'm sorry I wasn't there for you
But I will never leave you now
I will see you once again
But for now must go on... somehow
Tears drop from my grieving eyes
As I lay roses at your stone
And am left to cry at your graveside
Left to cry alone
FEAR OF LOVINGby S. Hall Zilla
I'm afraid to love again,
I ask you to understand,
The only one I ever loved
Left my heart a barren land.
I'm afraid fulfillment would elude me,
In a lifetime... does it ever come twice?
Anything less would surely undo me,
I choose not to pay that price.
I'm afraid to again feel the pain,
That consumed me in the end.
I couldn't bear it this time,
As my unsuspecting heart did then.
I'm afraid to give my all---
‘Tho you promise the same in return,
Love may again flee,
Like the "genie" from a magical urn.
And to give less than my all,
would be unfair to you.
You deserve so much more,
A love dedicated and true.
I want to love again,
In the way I'm capable of,
I will not settle for less,
I yearn for abiding love.
At this moment I have nothing to hope for,
Nothing else to give...
I've been robbed of one of life's treasures,
It's main reason to live.
I am so vulnerable at this time,
I fear what my actions will be,
I will not make a decision
Until my heart is free.
I love you as a friend,
And I want to do what's right,
Let me heal a while longer....
I'll hasten, with all my might.
I need to be worthy of what you offer,
So there's no loss... only gain.
I never want to cause anyone,
This kind of endless pain.
Please... be patient with me.
Compromiseby ~Snuggles~
I'm no shining star,
Though I've never wanted to be.
And I'd never win a prize
For being a beauty queen.
But, I know how to be loyal.
I know how to be true.
And if you need a friend,
I know how to be that, too.
I do my best every day
And I try to be careful
Of the things I do and say.
I know how to love
And I know how to care.
I know how to listen,
And how to 'be there.'
I know who I am,
I know who I want to be.
(And that in itself
Is quite a victory.)
Yes, I have my faults
But, you must have some, too
So, I'm willing to make a compromise...
I'll ignore them if you do.
A Love That Can Never Beby Julie Nicholl
Is it wrong of me to feel this way
Though I knew right from the start
That I would only be second best
For she holds the key to your heart
But I can't withhold these feelings
They are tearing me in two
I want to stand on a mountain top
And scream, YES I love you
Even though your heart is taken
And my feelings I have to hide
I will dream that maybe one day
It's me that stands by your side
Going...by Jessica Collins
I'm going now,
I wish I could stay.
But I'll meet up with you,
In a place far away.
Close your eyes,
And dry your tears.
I want to leave you without fears.
Forget all the bad,
Yet remember the good.
I'm not in pain,
Is that understood?
We have all sinned,
And must learn to forgive.
I knew for a while now,
That my time was coming.
Like sand in an hour - glass,
It just kept running.
I must go now,
My name they are calling.
I wish I could keep,
All your sad tears from falling.
This isn't good - bye,
Only farewell.
I wish I knew,
What time would tell.
