Good Goodbye

Your pinning me down in captivation.
Holding me back from going my own direction.
Making me listen to all your lies.
Your becoming the one that I despise.
Baby you said you couldn’t go on without me.
But I can’t take it I’m setting you free.
The pounding breakin love and hatin.
I’ve given all that you have taken.
You used me to the limit.
I just can’t believe it.

Thought you would have tried harder for my heart.
But baby here I am at a new start.
Your voice replays in my head.
Now I want to rid it of everything you said.

Good goodbye, it’s over, it’s over now, let go, just let go.

I turn around and dry my tears.
Now alone I set out to fight my fears.
Better off without you.
Way better off without you.

Thought you would have tried harder for my heart.
But baby oh baby here I am at a new start.
Your voice is now a whisper.
Only ‘cause I’m a good listener.
But it’s almost faded completely.

Good goodbye, it’s over, it’s over now.
Let go, just let gooooo.

ROWAN

This poem was written for my friend Jessicas new baby girl. The dad is overseas at war but they web cam and talk as much as possible. Rowan is so precious. I went for my first visit to her and her facial expressions were never ending. So cute! Makes me want one.

She’s dressed in purple and green
The cutest baby girl ever seen
Moms wrapped up in her every move
As she continues to get in the groove
Showing daddy her outfits while he’s in uniform
February 8th their beautiful little girl was born
Love illuminates the fresh clean air
As her mommy continues on to stare
Afraid she might miss the simplest of things
Although she misses the man who exchanged rings
Tied together forever love will surround
From cries to laughter, every sound
To watch her grow to hope it’s slow
Only the feeling a family would know

Fought Through Years To Luminating Color

I straighten my stance.
And take one glance.
My lips turned to smile.
Even though gone a mile.
You look back in sight.
Remember the fight.
Your sweat and tears.
Fought through the years.
And here you are emptily tired.
Your body still wired.
Once you lay you head.
And forget what was said.
Your eyelids slowly fall.
Its then you gave it your all.
You dream in black and white.
And wake to the sight.
Of color luminating so bright.
But you cant remember the black of white.
And at this second everything felt so right.
Awake and alive as you inhale.
Young with a future to tell.
The past yet a story to put you here.
And a scar to cover with a tear.
That will dry and disappear away.
And a name to the face of you today.
Carry forward to your destination.
What was an animation.
Now is real life free you see.
All that you ever wanted to be.
