There's Too Much At Stake

I've never seen someone care that much for me

And you did care

Until I couldn't give you what you thought you needed

I didn't want to see you go

Cause I was afraid of where you'll end up

But I am so much better off now that you're gone

You never meant a thing to me Lie lie lie lie lie

I've been filled with white lies and empty promises since you day you went away

It makes it easier to get by

Sunny Days Hurt The Most

As my weary eyes brush across the casket, I noticed a small rainbow form across her from the sun. I think, "My, she is beautiful".

Bittersweet moment.

My eyes settle on a plastic bag by her head containing dice and a score card from a game of Yahtzee.

The letter within read,

"You're in the lead now but you won't be once we unite again.

I love you, Love Garry".

And right there before me, the love they shared for all those years flashed across my mind.

He leans down to grab her hand, kisses her forehead, his eyes fall to her face.

Choking back tears, he says;

"I'm sorry for fighting with you earlier. It should've never happened. I'm

going to miss you. I can't wait to see you again..... I love you...."

Tears form behind my eyes.

How can the world keep moving on when true love ends?

You Sold Me Out

As I'm driving down the road,

I watch the snowflakes fall and land softly on the pavement.

A song comes on the radio and it reminds me of you.

You are always in my thoughts as if you were right here with me.

They say nothing real has a happy ending, so be nothing with me.

I'm A Mess And You Know That I Can't Help It

I felt like the whole world had just walked out on me... given up on me.

Everyday I wished I could love myself when I didn't feel it from anyone else.

I felt the kind of pain that made me want to hurt everybody around me because I was suffering and they weren't,

Because they could breathe without feeling guilty

And hold a normal conversation without breaking down into tears.

I wanted to feel that I was loved.

I longed for that feeling.

In The Moonlight, Your Face... It Glows

All she can think about is the boy who may change her life forever...

I

broke

down

every

thought

process

trying

to

climb

into

a

world

where

the

sickness

became

consumed

by

her.

Lemony Snicket

"It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is... Your foot falls down, through the air and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things."

Picture

Waves that breathe

In

Out

In

Out

Seagulls squeal overhead

Children laugh, sand between their toes

The sea loses itself in the clouds

Sky, gray in color

The day, murky and bleak

Wrapped in somber dampness

Salty lips upon grumpy faces

Water licking freshly-built sandcastles

Cocoa butter sunscreen and the stench of underwater sea creatures

Whipping, bone-chilling wind

Coarse, sandy hair dampened by raindrops
