• -LOVE-
  *I love you, *Not only for what you are, *But for what I am *When I am with you. *I love you, *Not only for what *You have made of yourself, *But for what *You are making of me. *I love you *For the part of me *That you bring out; *I love you *For putting your hand *Into my heaped-up heart *And passing over *All the foolish, weak things *That you can't help *Dimly seeing there, *And for drawing out *Into the light *All the beautiful belongings *That no one else had looked *Quite far enough to find. *I love you because you *Are helping me to make *Of the lumber of my life *Not a tavern *But a temple; *Out of the works *Of my every day *Not a reproach *But a song. *I love you *Because you have done *More than any creed *Could have done *To make me good *And more than any fate *Could have done *To make me happy. *You have done it *Without a touch, *Without a word, *Without a sign. *You have done it *By being yourself. *Perhaps that is what *Being a friend means, *After all.

• -Warmth-
  *As they laid me in your arms *for the very first time, *A very special bond was created. *A bond which no matter what ever happened, *Was so strong it could never be broken. *Two warm arms wrapped me up tight. *Your gentle, loving heart was dancing. *It was beating a lullaby of unconditional love. *The song was sweet and everlasting. *You introduced me to the world, *uncaring and harsh; *But never once was I ever frightened. *I knew I'd be safe throughout the days *and the nights; *I knew you would always protect me. *We've laughed and we've cried, *During the years of our lives. *But through it all we've always been close; *Our connection will always remain strong. *The love that we share, *Is the sweetest of all. *For it is so precious, it never fades; *And it's so strong it will endure forever *I thank God I'm so blessed, *To have the best of both worlds. *For not only do I have the Best Mother; *But in you I also found my best friend.
  -by Tina Renee' West-

• -I Thank God He Sent You to Me-
  *I thank God he sent you to me, *For you and I were meant to be. *We have a bond too strong to break, *We have a love no one can take. *In you, I have found a love so true, *My heart is filled with love for you. *Every time I see you, my heart skips a beat, *You make my life whole, you make my life complete. *My love for you grows more with each passing day, *The thought of your gorgeous face takes my breath away: *Those brown eyes fill my soul with happiness, *Those luscious lips I love to kiss. *The day when I become your wife, *Will be the happiest day of my life. *Even thinking of that day makes me smile, *I can't wait 'till I walk down that aisle. *I dream of that day when we'll both say, "I do" *For always and forever... I will love you.

• -Falling in Love With a Player-
  *I fell in love with you and then you broke my heart, *I knew never to love a player, *I was wrong from the start... *Loving you was like ripping out my heart. *I refused to look around me and see *all the terrible things you were doing to me, *I was in my own world and I didn't see all the trouble you were, *I was deeply in love. *Now that's all ruined, you see, *All because you played me, *You had looks, you had charm, *You were slick with your words, *You knew just what to say. *I was foolish to think we were made for each other, *I always prayed you would never love another, *I wanted us to always be with each other. *Loving a player is one of the hardest things ever, *I have learned a lot from my experiences with you, *My heart was broken into two. *I know now, as I look back on my past, *Dating a player will never last, *So, in my future I'll watch what I do, *I won't date anymore players, *But I'll still always love you.

• -You Think I'm Just Your Friend-
  *I met you quite some time ago *you were amazing then. *The kind of person I needed to know. *Just my kind of friend. *You knew who I was right from the start. *I knew who you were too. *You were that girl who stole my heart. *I was only a friend to you. *Each day passed... by and by, *My love for you grew deep. *To you I was the same old guy *I could hardly sleep. *I found out the other day, *You have someone else in mind. *I nearly died the other day, *I felt that love was blind. *Why I love you, oh!, so much, *Well, you know just why *It's because of your soft touch, *That I would lay down and die. *Maybe it's your gorgeous smile *Perhaps your flowing hair *I would sprint that millionth mile *In hopes to see you there. *You're everything I'd ever need *My dreams would be fulfilled. *For you, I can only plead, *A love from this friendship shall build. *I want you to hear every word, *And know it's me who's speaking *I want to make sure it's me you've heard *'Cuz it's my heart you're keeping. *Just friends is what you want to be *Just friends, with you, I can't. *I need you to be with me *The seed of love, I hope to plant. *For now, I'll love you more and more. *For now, I'll be your friend. *Until that day I'll be at your door, *With flowers to commemorate the end. *Commemorating the end of friends, *That's what it shall be. *For sometimes, the heart just bends. *Will your's bend for me? *This is what's been in my head *I love you more than life. *I meant every word i said. *This friendship is causing strife. *Can you ever learn to love me? *I don't think it would take too much. *You love me like a friend, yippie *Love me more....give me your touch. *So as you finish reading this, *Remember what I've said *Maybe friends can sometimes kiss, *You'll never stop running through my head. *I love you *I love you *Loving you is all I do *One day you will love me back *Till then I'll be your friend.

• -Without You-
  The first time my eyes saw you, I loved you right away. Such a strong feeling I had towards you and you returned that one special day. By your side, I stayed for about a week or more. But then your love seemed to fade and, yet, you're the one I still adored. I only hurt inside for a little while, because your love came back to me. Just to see you, I'd walk that mile because you said you loved me. You promised an eternity of you and me together. Hurt again, you said I'd never be because your love was forever. What seemed to be so long passed by and you wrote me once more. With your words I felt my heart die, and I didn't want my life to go on any more. You said you didn't have the time. You said you had too much to do. But I still loved you. I don't know how you feel right now, I don't think I should care. You hurt me so bad, but how? All the pain you caused, I can't bear. I should just forget you, like you seemed to forget about me. Without you what am I to do? Because I can't seem to be happy. You tell me that you still love me, but you did that before. Are you afraid of a commitment with me? Why? I won't cheat. I'm not a bore. Please tell me how you feel. Please show me you care. Show me, this time, you're for real. And make my life easy enough to bear...

• -Hurting-
  For the past few weeks I've been pretty down Everybody's been wondering - "why the frown?" The pain I've been feeling, if oh so real Nobody seems to know how I feel When I'm alone I always feel like I need to cry Somebody tell me, why did he have to lie? Everybody tells me- he's no big deal Yeah, well, they don't know how I feel I wish I could turn things back to the way they used to be Of course, this had to happen to me... We used to talk all the time, and things were cool Now he treats me as if I'm nothing and I feel like the fool I need to be happier and get on with my life I feel like my heart has been cut with a knife Why do things like this have to happen to a person like me? Everybody saw how happy I used to be.... He won't even be my friend.. But, I guess time will heal and it will mend.

• -Me-
  My eyes are full of water, It's streaming down my face, Because of words from others, Telling me I'm a disgrace. My cheeks are rosy red, From wiping away my tears, Because I've lost everything, Trust; my greatest fear. My heart is broken and abandoned, From my painful recent past, Always will I wonder, How much longer it will last. My stomach is flipped upside down, The sickening feeling comes again, Because everyday it seems, I lose another friend. My knees have gone weak, I've lost all sense of hope, Because the ones I love, Are the ones that betray the most. My feet have grown tired, From all these expectations on my back, Because people don't understand, Talent is what I lack. My mind is all a blur, Maybe because it's confused, Or maybe becasue I'm tired, Tired of being used. My spirit feels caged, Just wanting to break free, Trying to escape, From this prison...I call me.

• -A Remaining Love-
  I'm as happy as can be still I miss you, I'm finding new faces but they just won't do. My love for you was strong and still my love remains, all the love that was shared all that's left is pain. My heart pounds rapidly only when you're near, hoping that you'll speak to me only leaves a tear. My smile still shows keeping a happy face, my sweat to my tongue I remember that awful taste. Why do we fall in love what's the point in trying? I loved you so much and now I sit here crying. All for nothing I wish it had been more, do you feel bad for my heart you tore? I'm tired of all this sadness I'm tired of all this shame, all this pain and sorrow and still my love remains.

• -Broken Heart-
  Maybe I am crazy But I don't know what to do I just can't get it in my mind That you and I are through All the times we spent together And all the fun we had They didn't last forever And that is why I'm sad I feel like I am dying Whenever I look at you I wonder if you're crying At all for me too Or if you ever have I know it's been so long Since I've kissed your lips Or sang you a sweet song I won't forget you ever As long as I'm alive Even though we're not together Because you choose to hide There will always be a place for you Inside my broken heart Beside the pain and tears And the soul you tore apart

• -BLADE OF THE KNIFE-
  i creep into the kitchen and i pull out this knife i slowly stroke the blade that will soon end my life i think about my friends i think about my family i think about my life this is how it has to be all those people didn't listen i don't even think they cared they brought me here now my pain they did not share all i wanted was one person just one person to talk to maybe it would've been better my life wouldn't have been my doom i'm standing here in the kitchen the knife has fallen far from me my mind is racing with little thoughts thoughts of distant memories why am i still here? why can't i do this? is this a sign from God? my life i should not miss? that maybe i'll have friends one day who really understand that i should not throw my life away instead leave it in God's Hands? that maybe my parents will understand the pain i endure in my life and will sit down with me and tell me everything is alright? that maybe i need to wait for something coming in my life and when it comes it will be better that it will set things right? that maybe i shouldn't end my life because of the grief that i will cause and everyone i left behind to mourn over this loss? so do i end it here? or do i live my life? what am i supposed to do with the blade of this knife?

• -Angel of Love-
  We sit in the park, down by the bay, Watching the sun slowly slipping away. Talking of the past, and what is yet to come, I think to myself, "Have I found the one"? Our lives full of sorrow, our hearts full of pain, We gaze at each other, has love found us again? My life has been great, since I have met you, In my mind I ask, "What am I to do"? I haven't much to offer, just a lifetime of love, To me you're an angel, sent from above. A lifetime together, I know this will be, Me loving you, and you loving me. The sun slowly sets, the day turns to night, You're in my arms, I'm holding you tight. The pain in our hearts, slowly slips away, I'll love you my angel, until my dying day.

• -Can't let go-
  I am sitting here thinking of the present and the past; I am hoping what we have will last; I remember I fell in love with the person you are; You make me so happy, you don't see how much I actually care; You say we are friends now; It's hard to just be your friend, 'cause I don't know how; I'm so used to being more to you; It's still hard for me to see we are through; You're probably thinking I need to move on; But, that's hard to do when my feelings are still strong; I don't want to lose you all the way; But, sometimes I don't think before I say some of the stuff I say; I know that sometimes I make you mad; But, I do most of that stuff because I am sad; I haven't been happy in a while except for the other day; When you acted like you really had something to say; You acted like it used to be; Like you actually needed and wanted to talk to me; But, now for some reason I am scared things will end; That I won't even get to be your friend; I know I am not what you want in your life right now; And sometimes I just sit and ask my self 'how;' How things could have changed over night; I guess things do change for a reason even if they aren't right; I sit here at night and cry; I try to tell myself everything's okay, but that's a lie; 'Cause things are not okay; They are not going to be okay until I wake up one day; Just listen to me when I say this true; You mean everything to me and I love you.

• -A Dream of My Somebody-
  I long for a companion One who will be my best friend And the one I love I don't know where you are But I will find you Once in a while I think "What if I pass my somebody every day and never know it?" Quite frankly, I am beyond tired of waiting I find it so hard to stay happy Day after unbearable day With nobody to go to Nobody to hold me, when I am weak Nobody to wipe my face, when it is dirty Nobody to shelter me, when the world has become too harsh Nobody to kiss, when I am lonely Nobody to dance with, when a slow song comes on Nobody to to gaze at, when the world has turned ugly with hatred Nobody to call on, when I need comfort Nobody to hold my hand, when I need courage Nobody to share my secrets with, when friends just won't do Nobody to bring me up, when I am down Nobody to hug, when I am cold Nobody to wash away all my fears, with just the sound of their voice Someday there will be a somebody Who will embrace me and tell me to no longer worry But for right now there is nobody But I still wait for that perfect day when I will meet My somebody

• -Dreaming-
  Sitting in my room With no life, no friend, no lover How much longer Will the Lord make me suffer? Looking at a knife With no sense, no conscience, no clue Should I pick up the knife And consider me through? Thinking about my mom And all the love she had given to me But mom found someone better Now momma's history. Thinking about my dad Who is he, where is he, does he even know I exist? I just picked up the knife Oops, there went my wrist. Looking at my arms Horrified, shaky, and scared Looking up at the door I see my little brother standing there. He looks at me with tears in his eyes He runs to call 911 I hear him saying to my sisters Hurry!! Look what she has done!! My three sisters run into the room My youngest one starts to sceam My wrists are just gushing blood Faster than a stream. I feel myself getting weak I can hear the parimedics rushing in I hear one of them say, lets get her to a hospital Before her life comes to an end. My brother and sisters Are standing all around As I try to stand up But fall back to the ground. All I remember is waking up And letting out a big scream As I open up my eyes And realize it was nothing but a dream.

• -Too Good To Be True-
  A beautiful girl A hansome young man They'll spend their life together That was the plan So happy, so wonderful Never a yell, never a cry So strongly in love 'Till the day they die So perfect and sweet, Even though it was new Just like a fairy tale Too good to be true First came the arguments Then came the yells Soon she was crying It was turning to hell He tore off her shirt And grabbed her small arms Dug in his nails He was doing such harm He yanked her hair Put her head in the wall Soon she saw darkness And began to fall Now she was down He threw his foot to her head Told her if she left him Then she would be dead He tried to deny it Said that she would lose But the truth plainly shows With those big purple bruises Finally she leaves All black and blue I guess it was just Too good to be true

• -A Change Of Heart-
  I was just sitting here thinking of you, and all the things we used to do. But now you're gone, and I knew I was wrong To ever think it could last. It all ended much too fast. I should have known right from the start, that you'd have a change of heart. It was all too good to be true, to think I was the only one loving you. I miss your smile. I think of you mile after mile. I miss your touch. I felt so much... When you were mine, and everything was going just fine. But now since you've left me I've had to make myself see... That if you still love me you will come back to me.

• -True Bliss-
  I am looking in the sky The stars are burning bright I am sitting in your arms Everything is so right I look into your eyes They twinkle like a star Then I realize how much I love you For everything you are Every time you hold me My world feels so complete I feel like I am unstoppable There is no defeat You take me in your arms You look into my eyes You tell me that you love me And I know you tell no lies As you hold me in your arms You give me a sweet kiss I realize then, how lucky I am That I have a love like this The night is coming to an end I beg you not to leave Because without you near I feel like I can't breathe You say, please don't be upset, That you will see me soon, And to think of you with me Whenever I hear our 'toon You kiss me goodnight I watch you walk away I would give anything in the world Just for you to stay Now that you are gone I sit here all alone With nobody around No one to condone Until I see you next Let me tell you this You have given me the world And to my heart you have brought bliss.

• -It's Gonna Be OK-
  From the day that I took my very first steps To the day that I stuttered my first word, You've always been there for me. Your voice, Mom, was the one I heard. My first day of school, I'm a big girl now, Or so I think until the very day When you let go of my hand And you tell me it's gonna be o.k. At the early age of 17, I fell deeply in love But when things messed up and I didn't know what to do or say, You were behind me 110% Telling me that it's gonna be o.k. Bad grades here and there brought me down But I was never there for long, For your comforting words of reassurance Played in my mind like a beautiful song. Raising a child as a single parent Is too hard for words to explain, But raising two makes things twice as hard, Double the heartache, double the pain. When I think of the things that you're going through There's only one thing that I can say, You can only do so much, Mom, And it's gonna be o.k. I don't fear the future, Mom, I know you'll be there to help me through, You see, my reason for living isn't mine at all I owe it all to you.

• -My Love Will Be Here Always-
  Baby, I don?t think you know just how much I really love you. Whenever we talk I never seem to want it to end. Just hearing your voice and laugh, Or knowing that you have a smile on your face makes me so happy. I can imagine if we were together... The days we'd spend talking to each other, And then the nights all alone... Cuddling, holding each other, or doin' them freaky lil thangs And then there's the way you find the right time to say, "I Love You!" Always catching me off gaurd, but catching my heart each time. Who knows what will happen in the future...? All I know is what?s happening right now, And right now, I know that I love you more than anything in this world, And would never want to lose someone so special to me. Yet we?ve never been together. I?m closer to you than anyone. Things I never told anyone else, You know about, and I trust you with them. Even if we?ll never actually be together, You?ll always have a huge part of my heart reserved. No matter where you are, Who you?re with, What you?re doing, Or how big, small, or personal the problem... I?ll help you, because I?ll always be here for you!

• -Untitled-
  Life was so easy When I was small But now that I'm grown It's not easy at all My parents are fighting I hear them call each other names Every time they get mad I'm the one they blame I hear my mom scream in pain As she is struck by my dad I remember thinking to myself "Boy, he must be mad" I hear him start to come to find me My body fills with fear I hear his footsteps stop, and think "Oh, no! He's almost here!" The doorknob slowly turns around I dive under my bed That was the moment I realized That my mom was dead All went dead quiet I thought he had gone I peeked out from under the bed But oh, had I thought wrong He grinned an evil grin at me And grabbed me by the arm Then I knew there was no way I could escape his harm He beat me and kicked me And threw me onto the floor And once he was done He calmly walked out the door As I lie here bleeding On the verge of death I know that I will be with God So it's all for the best I feel my eyelids start to close Oh, this must be it Perhaps when I am up in Heaven I will not be hit

• -Alone in the Dark-
  Alone in the dark, I sit and wait To reach out and touch you, But I fear I'm too late. Days have gone by, Since I've heard your voice. I try not to worry, But I fear there's no choice. I feel like I've lost you, Like there's nothing to gain. My heart should hold hope, But it feels only pain. Alone in the dark, I scream out your name. If only you could hear me, Would you do the same? I try not to think About what might be. If I should ever ask you, Would you say you love me? Would you tell me you care, Or just turn away? Would you walk away slowly, Or promise you'll stay? I whisper, "I love you," With an ache in my heart, Wanting you with me, Alone in the dark.

• -My Best Friend-
  my best friend you'll always be no matter what, you were always there for me through thick and thin, better or worse you were the one I ran to first now the Lord has taken you away "good bye" I did't even get to say I know you're in a better place I'll wait for the day when I see your face It's hard to believe you're gone for good I wish all this could be understood It's like a dream, but I'm awake why was it you the Lord had to take? you were always so careful all the time I don't understand why the best friend taken was mine I know you'll watch over me day and night I know you'll never let me out of your sight It's hard to let go of someone so close you were the friend I loved the most Don't forget me wherever you are someday we'll be together, until then you're my angel and star I love you!!!

• -Holding on to my past-
  As I lie here tonight holding on to my past letting go of my future I'm all alone in this cold dark room I have no one I can turn to when all I can do is think of you. I feel like there is nothing else in this world for me to live for. My heart is so weak, my mind is so full of memories and pain. I feel like a thousand bricks have fallen on me. I don't know what i should do. Should i still hold onto my past, or should i give up on my past and move on to my future? I sit here tonight, looking out my window, looking so deep into the sky, hoping the Lord is listening, listening to all my prayers. I'm hoping he will forgive me for all my sins and open another door for me, one more time, and give me the man i love. Lord, I hope you're listening; I hope you can hear me. I hope you can stop all of this pain I am feeling. I hope you can bring happieness back into my life. But for now, I'm still holding on to my past.

• -My Last Words Before Death-
  This is how I feel, No one seems to care, that I was just a mistake, I am just a freak, with no one that loves me, I feel so alone, I feel I don't belong, I feel that no one understands me I feel that I am the blame for everything, I want to end my life, right now, right here, I take the pills of death, I take the knife that will put me to rest. I cut my wrist, as the blood drips, I look in the mirror where I see nothing but crap, I once was loved, but people betray me, I don't want to live, I just want to die, My tears are warm and salty, They roll down my cheek, I fall to the ground, without making a sound, I feel the coldness of the air that surrounds me, My tears that were warm, are now cold, My skin is pale, my body is weak, I don't know where I'M going, You try to save me, But it's too late, my eyes are drifting for my heart has stopped, my love for life is now gone, I don't have an excuse except I was a mistake, and should not breathe, my eyes close, as I lay down, my soul escapes into a dust of Angels, I am gone, no more pain, no more blame, no more tears, no more love...
