I hope still
i hope still that one day,
one day you will finally settle on me
i hope still that one day,
one day you will love me completely
i hope still that one day,
one day you will love me only, trully
i hope still that one day,
one day you will appreciate what i feel for you
i hope still that one day,
one day you will feel even just half of what i do for you
i hope still that one day,
one day i will finally have you completely to myself,
that i will not have to share your heart.

Death breathing down my neck
I woke up this morning with so much despair and disdain in my heart
My heart was breaking and I could hear it
I have tried to get over this nagging feeling but it keeps tagging at me
Its burrow down into my marrow
I can smell death, its breathing down my neck
I am panicking right now
I don't like this feeling at all
Its like madness filled with despair and hopeless anguish
I am so sick of feeling this way
Depart from me, I will not let you ruin me
I will fight you till the end
I have so much to live for
Then why do I feel this way?

Not sorry
Calculating mind you amaze me
Always thinking of a way to amuse yourself
Amusement at my hearts expense
You do things that you know will hurt me
Assuming I will not mind
You play games with my emotions
Gamble with my happiness
You try so hard to keep me from knowing what you do
Yet you claim you didn’t know what you where doing
You pretend not to know that it will hurt me
Never taking responsibility for your actions
You think simply saying sorry will make it ok
That my heart will mend
Don’t say you are sorry
Because you are not sorry
You are sorry for yourself

Smile Woman Smile
Smile woman smile, smile baby smile.
You have been made with love and care.
Smile woman smile,
God smiled when he made you,
Smile baby smile,
He took all the emotion and love he had and put it in you
Smile woman smile,
He created you to share the gift of creation with him,
Smile baby smile,
He made you sensitive, emotional, gentle, kind, loving, thoughtful and self sacrificing,
Smile woman smile,
The angels ululated and rejoiced when they saw what a wonderful creation woman was,
Smile baby smile
He put in you the natural motherly instinct; he knows with you around there will be enough love to go around,
Enough empathy and care to go around.
You are special because you have been made soft yet strong.
In times of pain, you sooth.
When there is sickness you care,
You are the glue that sticks a family together and a pillar of the community.
How great you are. How wonderful and blessed you are.

If i Died Today
If idied today i would cry
i would cry for all the time i spent being sad
when i could have been smiling
if i died today i would weep
i would weep for all the love i never felt
when i was alive
If i died today i would be sad
sad that i never really got to feel special,
loved and cared for
If i died today it would break my heart
break my heart for all the times i have cried,
cried because i was in pain
if i died today i would be regretful
regretful for all for all the time wasted on vanity
and worrying what other people will think of me
