After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises, And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open - with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too unstable for plans, and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while, you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure... that you really are strong... and you really do have worth. And you learn and learn... with every goodbye you learn.![]()
A FORGOTTEN LOVE
We're all alone
The world and I We're fighting an endless battle Yet we don't know why We put ourselves through pain and sorrow Forget all we care about We don't realize we did anything wrong Until there is no way out You don't want to hear the truth Your truth is okay for you There's people with smiles on their faces You want to smile too Some force themselves to love others I can't be that way though Some close their eyes, claiming blindness Hiding from truth, love, the colors of the rainbow You claim stupidity If you cannot read You claim to be a follower If you cannot lead But now what can you claim? Who can you blame? Now that you've forgotten how to love Maybe your friends, maybe your family Maybe yourself, maybe the stars above It doesn't mean much It doesn't mean anything Not when you've forgotten how Forgotten how to love.... *****Lindzey Rae ![]()
MY HEART DIED WITHOUT A SOUND
I watched you walk
out of my life. It hit me hard, like the stab of a knife. As you went away,
the tears came down. My heart died then without a sound. Depressing thoughts
instilled my heart, my soul. They overtook my mind, began to take control. I realize
and now I see, your mind and soul are always a part of me. It hasn't been long
but I miss you so much. I miss your fingertips, I miss your touch. I pray for God
to help me through. I can't help but cry when I think of you. Alone at my house
not a soul in the world could feel my pain, nor watch my thoughts uncurl. No one understands my sorrow,
can feel my pain, or knows my tomorrow. But I know you're there possibly thinking of me. You'll be back someday, then we can have eternity. *****Author Unknown ![]()
SOMETHING EVERLASTING
As things go, I have to leave you
At times I wonder why there is The cruelty and bitterness Of parting, and then sit and cry It's all gone now. It's all over
My life as I've always known it Things change, time passes People come, people go; all I do is hurt Sometimes maybe I'll say hello
Sometimes maybe I'll call your name Sometimes I'll cry at the thought of distances Sometimes....with you again The heartache in endless questioning
Surely you have understanding Someone knows, someone cares, someone.... I need something everlasting *****M.Dome ![]()
MEMORIES

Here they come
Every night the same Silent Stars Light from a distant flame Just like the memories of you That I hold inside I see your touch But all the warmth has died Empty rooms, crowded with the past Time is my enemy Days keep moving fast But the nights alone can be eternity That never heals the scars of foolish pride Here I am Stranger to a smile Trying to fight the tears Missing by a mile Like the longely moon you see above That sails dark....alone FOREVER I have no light of my own Other than the love we've known So long ago....together *****Alison Gaines ![]()
UNFORGETTABLE
I remember the love you gave
Those memories I'll always save The love and care you gave to me I once was blind but now I see Those memories seem so sweet to me They make me strong when I am weak I'll never forget the feelings we shared When times are rough and you were there The kind of love you gave to me Those memories I'll cherish eternally And if I die before I wake My thoughts of you is what I'll take *****Joseph Matua ![]()
IT ISN'T THERE
I just don't know what to do
Why am I still inlove with you? I know you don't love me And that's the way it should be She loves you, and you love her Funny to think that's the way we were So much love used to be there Then, somehow, it vanished into thin air How can I get over you?
Then love other people too I hurt so much Just knowing we're so out of touch It hurts to know you don't care for me And it can't be the way it used to be I want you back But she has all the qualities you love and I lack I hope you two are happy together Since it can't be us.... Together Forever *****Lindzey Rae ![]()
GOODBYE TO WAITING,GOODBYE TO YOU I waint and wait for you
The minutes and then the hours drag by slowly I try and think of something else, but all my thoughts are of you I wait, longing to hear your voice
There are footsteps in the hall My heart beats faster, but then the footsteps slowly fade away I wait, wanting to see you smile
Then I remember that day The day when you smiled, but not at me Everyone wonders why I sit and wait
I wonder sometimes too For fear, I wait for fear, not fear of you but of loosing you Everyone wonders why I don't leave you
I wonder sometimes too For fear, Not fear of you, but of finding no one else I have waited, but will wait no longer
I will no longer waste my time on you You who doesn't understand You who doesn't care I have waited, longing to hear your voice,
but will wait no longer You have had your chance, and now someone else will call my name I have waited, wanting to see you smile,
but I will wait no longer You have had your chance, and now someone else will smile for me *****Alison Gaines ![]()
I WON'T SEND ROSES
I won't send roses or hold the door;
I won't remember which dress you wore. My heart is too much in control, the lack of romance in my soul Will turn you gray, kid, so stay away Forget my shoulder when you're in need. Forgetting birthdays is guaranteed. And should I love you, you would be the last to know I won't send roses And roses suit you so. My pace is frantic my temper's cross;
With words romantic I'm at a loss. I'd be the first one to agree that I'm preoccupied with me And it's inbred, kid so keep your head In me you'll find things like guts and nerve, But not the kind things that you deserve. And so while there's a fighting chance just turn and go. I won't send roses And roses suit you so. ![]()
YOU LIED
You left me with a promise.
That promise was unfulfilled You left me with a hope But all has now been killed You left me with a feeling What feeling, I do not know You left me with a weakness That I am now to proud to show. That promise that you gave me
I really did believe The hope that once was with me you forced it all to leave The feeling that you gave me I thought you really cared and now I have to find out that the feeling was not shared That weakness that you gave me that falter I still have And I know that when I am old I will not look back and laugh. 1/8/98 for Mike *****Alison S.

I MISS YOU!
You have no idea how much I miss you
I can no longer get a smile on my face Just wanting to talk like we used to Life is dragging on at a slow pace Now that you're never here My tears are never dried up I'm not in pain, I'm in fear Fear of losing the love we have I'm scared that you're not here beside me And that we're walking down different paths I just want everything like it used to be I've never liked changes And this one is especially painful and hard to hide Making my whole life rearrange Without you standing by my side Even right now the tears are sliding down my face You feel so far, I'm so confused Without you here with me, I feel so out of place I can't see straight, I'm not sure what path to choose Are you still waiting for me at the end Or am I alone Why are my feelings the ones I always have to defend I can't do it by myself anymore, you have given me strength to grow You were always there telling me that we would be together And that we would never separate till the end of forever But now the words we speak are few You have no idea how much I miss you *****Lindzey Rae

LEARNING THE HARD WAY
You gave me a vision of what life was to be
You showed me the world that I was to see
