Now That You're Gone

If only I knew we had an expiration date
I would have held you longer
I would have savored every kiss
I would have done all the things I surely will miss

I know these words don’t mean much
But I wish that I could have saved you
I mean… I wish I could have saved us
I wish I knew how

People say that things happen for a reason
And I hope that this is true
I hope that there is God up there that has better plans for you

I hope that when you read this that you know
How much I truly loved you
I hope that you know that I gave it all up for you

But now that you’re gone it’s too late
If only I had the power to change our fate

A Dying Love Story

She held him softly in a waltz pose 

and whispered do you remember our first dance?

Flashes of their wedding day appeared in their minds,

 but she remembered their actual first dance

 in the rain he stopped the car to dance with her

 simply because she had requested it.

She then said I wish we can go back there.

Not because he had failed her but 

because she had failed him, 

or maybe somewhere down their life together

 they had failed each other.

Maybe it was to easy, 

maybe they thought that their love could never be moved.

It's that very thought that left the memory of love 

in theirs hearts be stronger than

 the love they should've shared today.

She closed her eyes and clinged to his body,

 the body that had protected,

 loved and cared for her for several years

 hoping that she could fly back to the start,

 she knows what she could've done differently.

You're Beautiful

Find comfort in knowing that I see you for who you are

The not so obvious beauty

The raw you

Under the:

façade

Mask

And tears

I see your core

Through all the

Fire and storms

And man you are beautiful

Caged Bird

I never knew such beauty

Until I saw her wings

They were spread wide

Like a smile from eye to eye 

A grin

Little did she know she could never fly

She wouldn’t even try 

It was pointless to her because she thought she would fall

See she already lost the battle

Because she didn’t even give it her all

She gave nothing, she got nothing in return

But she stayed

Hoping her dreams 

Of open skies and wind would go away

My heart breaks for the young bird

So eager to live, so eager to sing

Trapped in a cage, like a pet

Every day she would watch other birds for hours on end

She’d put a smile on her face

And sing a song for them

Little did they know it was all pretend

Years and years passed to no relief

Because like a caged bird indoors

She'll never know more than the rusty metal doors
