Thank you
For being you
Thank you
For fighting your fight
Thank you
For choosing life
Thank you
For your imperfections
And how you accept them
Thank you
For loving yourself
Looking in the mirror
Thank you
For letting me
Finally be me

Seems a little old fashioned
This day and age
To have a heart
Compassion is my rule
Sideway glances
From those without a clue
My hidden love
Many times misconstrued
Ah humanity
Where have you gone
Feeling so alone
Where are my others?

Funny how
Warmest memories
Can leave a chill
Maybe a little ill
For the used to be's
Sounds, smells, sights
In dawn's earliest light
Echoes in brain cells
Aching heart
Though all is well
Longing for yesterday
Even forgetting today
All that you would say
Things left undone

I stood on a platform
Between two bridges
One I set on fire
The other stayed connected
Smoke billowing
As I spent the time knowing
No retreat
No surrender
My life would be
Forever changed

I honestly believe in you
More than myself
More than the setting or rising sun
More than anything
Since time begun
You are my breath
My heartbeat, my life
You are my forever
You are me

My impassioned plea
Fell only on those not hearing
Not wanting to
Heads buried in proverbial sand
I lifted my hands
Asking the heavens why
Silence met me
As my tears sounded like thunder
All I saw were turned backs
All I felt was knives in mine

When I look into your eyes
Earth quakes and oceans swell
My heart doubles
Beats triple in time
I see your soul
Pain and beauty
Live within
Only thing that matters
Is...your mine

What can I say?
Won't you stay?
For a minute, a second
Maybe a day
My heart beats harder
As
My soul whispers your name
I swear I hear you
As you come near
Twin flame
Soulmate
Join me
Before it's too late

Dancing on
A carpet of leaves
Spinning around
Ballerina dreams
Warm Autumn sun
Scent of decaying leaves
Breathing in
Life seemingly cleaves
Sunset memories
Speaking of love
Became blasphemy
Of my tattered youth

Somewhere
Between sunrise and sunset
I met my untimely end
Just around that bend
I'm not sure exactly
What happened
Seems like a wreck
If what I'm seeing is true
Out for a country drive
Sunny Sunday
Last of mine
Somewhere
Between sunrise and sunset
I took my last breath

They told me I should
Get better angels
But, what the hell would I know
Demons is mostly what I had seen
The angels that were
Turned their blind eyes
Denying lies
In life I called mess
I must confess
I have done my best
To be my own angel
In my personal hell

I took a leap of faith
Hoping you would catch me
I hit the bottom
You watched my fall
I gave you my all
In return
I got empty hands
Don't say you tried
When all you did
Was stack lies
So sad
We could have
Made forever

So many things
To be thankful for
Sunrise
Sunset
Moon up high
No matter the phase
Ocean waves
Sand on my feet
Mountain snow
Mountain height
Peeking at the peak
Mind to conquer
I'm also grateful for you
Your little looks
Holding my hand
Even if just fantasy

Used to make me sad
Knowing there was
Something I can never have
Now I am at peace with it...
Mostly
So if you see me
With tears glowing
In my eyes
Know that I have seen
What is just out of my reach
Being lived out
In someone else's life

I heard your song
Used to be our song
On the radio
I miss the toxicity sometimes
Like a drug I couldn't quit
My hand that fed
You always bit
Tears would stream
As I thought and sit
Wondering why
Always me
Til I learned
To just let you be

This time of year is a rough one
More than just a tough one

Grief remembers
Those lost embers
Love gone, not lost
Remnants remain
In that corner
Of my clouded brain
With a bit of a smile
Along with tears
As I recall
Those I held dear
