Days come and go

Even if they aren't the same

Some

take too long to show

Some

ends as soon they came

No matter how much 
we wait for tomorrow

It’s just another day

That will come and go

I wish I was stronger

But no matter how hard I try

My wishlist not to igsist just gets longer

More and more I'm left alone to cry

In the late hours of the night 

Deep inside no one sees the pain

That I try so hard to fight

The only way to go on is to fill my eyes

With these salty tears

But all I really gain

A blurred vision when I look to the light

Can God not see

I'm so tired and sick of feeling so alone

I guess not because he just lets me be 

And eachday my heart becomes more hollow inside

It becomes all stone

This path of pain I am meant to follow 

From it I can not hide

And deeper I go into this evil shadow

Because no man shows they care

I just do not want to feel anymore

I have no strength to fight

The demons that drag me to the floor 

The pain and hurt inside my heart

They try to store 

It's trying so hard to make me die

And some days I wish I would 

I no longer want to try

Yes I know I still should 

But everyday a piece of me disappears

And is gone forever 

I try to scream out"help" to someone 

But it seems like no one hears

And the light is fading from the sun

This evil has put a spell on peoples ears

No one hears my helping plea

This evil has made people blind

So no one can see me 

Try to fight as I try to find 

A way to stop these wounds

So they no longer bleed

But the evil trys so hard

To make me fail

On my pain he loves to feed

I am becoming too weak to go on 

But no one will help with the fight 

So I should just give up and die 

Just disappear fade out sight

As I sit alone and powerless as I cry

As my soul drifts away

From my body it once knew

No longer fighting another day

My days are bitter darkness

No longer a happy clear blue sky

My lifes such a mess

I gave up I try no longer to live

This evil my soul I give

I just sit here in emptiness

I wait to die

I sit and watch my life pass me 

As I hear my last word spoken

It's loud and clear

I'm not in any fear

I'm fine as I can be 

To say my good-bye

The evil keeps my pain as a token

The tear I cry

My heart is so broken

And I no longer know the word

Or the meaning of the fight 

I don't even try

To keep my soul in my sight

I pray to God above

Just for one more day everyday with you

For I am blessed with the love

Sent by the one that's true

Sometimes I'm left with nothing to say

Because I no longer can find the words

I am thankful to have found someone

To take care of me and to repair my heart

To enjoy each days fun

It's like my wish come true

Right from the start

When I wished on that lucky star

Let God be my witness

My days when I'm with you 

From my heart you're not far

My life is no longer blue

My heart sings of joy and happiness

To beable to spend one more day

To be by your side

Through our ups and downs

For our tears when we cried

For when we asked for forgiveness

And when we wore so many frowns

For when we made up after sadness

I thank the lord above for our happiness

It would mean the world to me 

To just have one more day 

Before I have to set you free

Just that one more day makes a difference

To have a special day to be 

A great romance

God didn't take you from me 

I get to have my one more day 

My love for you God made me see

I'll always love you is what i have to say

You're still lost within the time
The ultimate crime
That you couldn't really hurt
but now you're gone and just inert

You try to find meaning in the days
That it wasn't just a phase
That you could just lay in the sun
and never say you jumped the gun

and you lie wide awake at night
Hard at thought, ready to write
You wrote on a piece of paper "I think this time, I'll be okay"
But you don't really know, your thoughts never stay

I have an unknown friend, who lives in the sky

Why I question him, I do not know why

I should not go to look for him, they say

But I know he'll want to look for me someday

I wonder, I ponder, even as I sleep

I dare not awake, for I have gone too deep

But again, the sun calls to another abrupt wake

Alone again, to find an answer for my sake

I take another step foward, for this I will fight

Forever wrapped in this question, how it echoes through the burning light

I stare into your eyes and see the infinity, it calls me endlessly

And I gather every morsel I can, like a wild animal in your mind at times,

A sensuous delight in your bed, consumed by our hunger for us,

Brightening the darkest moments in our heads.

When we are apart I try to figure out where I should start,
It seems like I've missed days, even weeks sometimes,
I think about you and the questions cascade like a waterfall in my mind,
And always, somehow, I feel so left behind.

You're like a cryptogram, unsolved,
And I can never figure out why all of the letters match up
Except for that one that screws up the whole thing again,
My tongue is tied in knots as I struggle for the words, it's absurd.

When I was a kid, my father used to say I was ungrateful,
I never felt that way, I just had a lot of questions,
Life seemed so puzzling, and it's still a puzzle, often,
But I don't think I'd be happy any other way.

I love you with all my heart, and probably always will,
Because I can't ever know all of your pieces is not a big deal,
What I get from you means so much more,
And anyway, whatever piece I'm missing seems to fit perfect.

Love,

Wandering through a desolate town, again in my own thoughts it seems to be taking its toll.
Finding myself always peering around for something... but what?
Still trying to apply a forward perspective in positive expectations which gets harder as the days pass but not improbable.
How many suns have set and moons have risen?
I'm grateful for everything yet lacking in everything as well.
Existence when awakened hits like a meteor crashing into the sea crackling, fizzling to a dull simmer, eventually dissipating as the day wears.
Being reminded briefly of mortality as the sandman visits harboring places dreadfully unpleasant making for a most enjoyable reality.
Yet I comfort in the nights embrace and revel for the suns warmth!
This is when I met Ambivalence.

Sunflower seeds under fresh, soft earth,
I'm planting you now, and I'm loving your worth,
Beautiful faces of yellow and brown,
Stretch to the sun, reach those roots in the ground.
Nature is kindness, wish people were too,
I love growing my sunflower garden, do you?

:-)

Hold your head up high; catch the rain drops falling from the sky.
Feel the warmth off the sun when another day’s hard work is done. Enjoy the leaves blowing across the green grass; time will pass by so fast.
Inhale the fresh clean smell after the rain fall; it is another beautiful day after all
There are always better days to come, the key is to look forward to getting the worst days done.
