a few poems

Night falls softly
on my small hometown.
The lights are all out
and there's no one around.

The babies are all
asleep in their beds
Little pillows pillowing
their little sleepy heads.

The puppy's snoring
and the cats gone out.
There's hardly a sound
to be heard about.

And inside me glass shatters
where my heart used to be.
There's screaming and crying
Deep inside of me.

There's anger and fighting
Deep in my soul
Someone has a hold
and wont let go.

The baby tosses,
gently in her sleep
She doesnt wake up
doesnt hear me weep.

And I wonder how long
I can last again
I wonder how long
will I ever win.

Silence surrounds me
on this peacefull night
Silence to be broken.
And nothing is right.

What would you say,
If I came to you tonite?
Would you turn me away?
Would you try to make it right?

Would you be surprised
that I still pine for you.
That I look for your approval
in everything I still do?

How can I live without you?
How can I sleep at night?
How can I live my life
Without you to hold me tight?

How can I move on?
How can I survive this all,
Without your arms to comfort me
Each time I fall.

I know we said forever
And forever was what I meant.
I never meant to break that promise
Though I knew when it got bent.

Broken vows and broken dreams
I fell like an eagle flying
on broken wings.

Broken home and broken memories,
Baby there was so much more to us
Then these.

How can I move on?
How can I survive this all,
Without your arms to comfort me
Each time I fall.

Broken vows and broken dreams
I fell like an eagle flying
on broken wings.

***********************************



You come to me
In my dreams at night
Your lips so soft
Your words so right.

You come to me
and I wait for you.
I want those dreams
I want you.

You have so much to say
When I'm asleep at night.
Your soft spoken words
Just making it right.

You hold my hand
and I can feel your chest
When you wrap your arms around me
in the way that you do best.

You come to me
In my dreams at night
and while I sleep
all the world is right.

*****************************


It's over
It's done
We've both lost
Neither has won.

The battle our marriage
Has been faught and lost.
We're the casualties.
Was it worth the cost?

We'll walk away soon
The judge will call us quits
And in the end it'll be over
The battles and fits.

ANd there's nothing left
for me to do
Not much left to say
Except, *I* *L**O**V**E* *Y**O**U*
