Maybe someday our frienship again will start.

Untitled

Not a day goes by that I don't think of your name
or remember your laughter
or feel your pain.
I look inside you and see a puzzle
mishappen pieces of a mind thats very subtle.
I'll be here until the end of it all
as a friend
as a pal
or nothing at all.
So think of me when your scared
and when it's dark
you will know I'm always there
in your heart pushing you to go on
through the pain
through the joy
and all that you take on.

Him

He is the one who haunts my dreams at night
Everyday I search for his face with all my might.
Every night he is the same man
He steals my heart away and always holds my hand.
He is always in my dreams even in the day
Even if I do find him, how do I know he'll stay?
He holds me close and we have beautiful moonlit walks
We stay up 'til the break of dawn
And have long loving talks.
We talk about life and falling in love
We both know what we have is special and beautiful
like a dove.
I hope he always stays by my side
If we ever do fight, I will let go of my pride.
He is my everything, he means the world to me,
I know he'll never try to break my heart
or set me all alone and free.
His eyes so deep and blue
and his face is beautiful too.
Still, I know he is only a dream
And we all know what that means.
I will never see his face among a crowd
And my heart, 4-ever broken, will shroud in clouds.
I will never feel my time with him has been enough
The night he moves on and leaves my dreams
Will be so devastating and tough.
He will look into my eyes, kiss me, and say goodbye
Into the night after I will scream,
"No! Without you I will surely die!"
But none the less he will walk away
Away from my heart and there he will stay.

Mike

We used to be so close; he was like a brother
now I don't even recognize him,
he looks like one stranger or another.
He used to always be there, he never let me down
but now he's never near
when my face is wearing a frown.
I still need him in my life,
but he doesn't seem to care,
he just pushes me away
and tells me he doesn't want me there.
We used to be best friends,
but when he now sees me he just walks on.
Why did our friendship have to come to an end?
He used to smile when he saw me in the hall,
when I think about it, I start to bawl.
What did I do to make him not love me anymore?
My heart has been torn and thrown to the floor.
After he told me how much he cared,
after all we've been through and all we've shared,
how can he just throw it all away?
Why does he think he must leave
and that he cannot stay?
I miss him in my life as a friend so much,
his loving eyes and his tender touch.
He knew all my secrets, every single one.
We used to spend so much time together,
and it was always fun.
We had talks about life and falling in love
I knew what we had was special,
a beautiful frienship sent from above.
But sadly, I know all good things
must come to an end, I must say goodbye to
my companion, my idol, my best friend.
Goodbye, Mike, our memories will 4-ever be in my heart

Friends No Longer

Sadly, we are friends no longer
I guess it wasn't meant to be,
our friendship needed to be stronger.
I wish I would have known it was going to end,
I would have told you over & over,
that you were my best friend.
I would have said how much I loved you
but now it is too late,
and our beautiful friendship is through.
You always made me smile
whenever I was sad.
You always calmed me down
whenever I was mad.
I thought you'd always be with me,
4-ever 'til the end,
a part of my heart has been broken
and it can never mend.
When you told me how much you cared, was it all a lie?
I'll never forget the memories together we shared.
I really wish as my friend you could have stayed,
our memories are so deep in my heart,
together we had it made.
I will never forget you
and the fun that we had.
When I remember how it ended
I end up pretty sad.
You were like a brother to me,
another person I share my life with.
But a brother is no longer what you mean to me
the word stranger describes it better
and when I think about it
in my heart I can feel the anger.
Have you ever heard the saying,
"Girlfriends will come and go
but your friends will always care?"
I know, right now, she's more important,
but when you do need me, I won't be there.

Little Sister

Your guilty of the crime
the crime that I committed
the price to pay was execution
I thought that was fair
but it wasn't
you see, at first we were just walking
my little sister and I
we heard a loud gunshot
I began to cry
my sister died instantly
bullet through the heart
I wanted to die too
I wanted to end my life
just like you ended my sisters
so I wanted to get you back
I got a gun
I saw you at the playground
with your daughter
so I closed my eyes and pulled the trigger
I heard a scream
your daughter died too
but you see, I turned you in
Before you could get to me
I guess were even, but who payed?
my sister, your daughter, who next?
what will happen next?

Teen Years

Looking in the mirror, I see to my surprise
a completely different person
staring deep into my eyes.
The carefree little girl I saw at 4 or 5
has now become a young woman
fighting to survive.
In a world filled with madness
that surrounds me every day
its frightening to think
I could be killed for what I say.
Remembering a time so long ago
Picnics, swing sets, barbies and waterparks
a time when I didn't worry about others remarks.
Its scary that time flies by so fast
and what I used to call the present
has now become my past.
And when I look into the mirror
what I see looking back at me
is the face of an aspiring young woman
where that little girl used to be.

Class Ring

Close by the door he passed to stand
as he took the class ring off her hand
all who were watching didn't dare speak
as a silent tear ran down his cheek
all through his mind, memories ran
of the time they laughed and walked
hand in hand
but now her eyes looked very cold
he'd never have her again, never to hold
all were silent as he bent down near
to whisper "I love you" in her ear
in touching her face, he started to cry
he put on his "class ring" and wanted to die
and just as the wind began to blow,
they lowered her casket into the snow.

Falling In Love

Did you ever fall in love
but knew he didn't care?
Do you ever feel like crying
but knew it would get you nowhere?

Did you ever look into his eyes
and say a little prayer?
Did you ever look into his heart
and wish that you were there?

Did you ever watch him dancing
with the lights turned way down low?
Did you ever whisper God I love him so
but could never let him know?

Did you ever wonder where he is
and wonder if he's true?
One minute you'll find happiness
and the next you'll be blue.

So my friend don't fall in love
the price you pay is high.
If I could choose between love and death
I think I'd rather die.

So my friend don't fall in love
no matter what you do.
Just look at me and then you'll know
because I've fallen in love with you.

The Other Shore

Standing at the ocean,
Standing at the sea,
I see another shore,
and a girl who looks like me.

I see another shore,
I see a dream I knew,
I see another time before,
A time when love was true.

I see water that I've crossed,
I see the bridge I've burned,
I see you there beside me;
Is my lesson learned?

Now the girl is gone,
Not where she was before,
It's amazing what you see,
Standing on the other shore.

My Love

Slowly sadness fills my mind
As I think of the love that once was mine.
On that night that he was killed
I knew what happened and evertything stilled.
I lost my heart the night he died
I was trapped in a haze, for days I cried.
I didn't want my life to go on
I miss him, why is he gone?
You left me so suddenly, without saying goodbye
I knew the instant you were gone, I felt my heart die.
Why did you have to be in that alley?
You should have been at home with me.
On the day of his funeral I almost went crazy
Why did that man have to kill my baby?
He was my one and only true love
Our hearts fit together, it was beautiful like a dove.
I've tried to move on and I've made a good start
But he will always and 4-ever be in my heart!

FREINDS 4-EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever I'm sad and wearing a frown
You've always been there, you never let me down.

I'll always love you with all of my heart,
But I'm scared of when high school is over and my real life will start.

I know we'll always be friends,
When one of us is sad or blue,
The other one will see them through.

Our friendship is so beautiful and strong like a dove
Even when we get into fights, you I will always love.

We might say somethings that are mean,
But we'll make it through because we're a team!

I remember all of the good times,
If I ever lost you, I would also lose my mind!

You are my best friend, you know everthing I feel
I know you'll never leave, you'll always be there to help me deal.

I know our friendship will never end
You and I will always be best friends!

Dedicated to my best friend, Nichole Shick, who has always been there for
me, through good times and bad. I love you Nichole, you mean a lot to me!

The Keeper of Friendship

In a friendship
we're free to expose,
parts of ourselves
nobody else knows.
But the thing that sustains it
and sets it apart,
is not something spoken
it's a bond of the heart.
True friends are rare
in a lifetime two or three,
I'm so glad it happened
between you and me!

I'll Be There For You

I'll be there for you always, no matter where you are
I'll help you through all I can, I won't be too far.
I'll cheer you up to make you happy, whenever you are down,
I'll make you laugh, make you smile, chase away your frown.
I'll wipe away the tears that fall, I'll tell you not to cry,
I'll lead you towards the best of things, and tell you not to lie.
I'll be there to walk with you, together hand in hand,
Splashing through the waves that crash and walking through the sand,
In other words to let you know that all of this is true,
just remember and don't forget that I'll be there for you.

Pressures

"These kids have it great."
Yeah, thats what they think.
Believing we've got it all
just because all they ever had for fun
was a baseball bat and a barbie doll.

The stress and pressure-so unreal
its nearly impossible to deal.
But we pull through
each and every day,
always wearing the "right clothes"
and knowing the "cool" words to say.

With all the pressure around us
its hard to be ourselves.
Take a sip, get a buzz, wanna smoke?
I don't think so. Life's not a joke.
They think we're all druggies, drunks
and out-of-control teens,
but whether we respect ours or not
we all know what life means.

Overcoming the stress,
believing you can do your best,
always putting your talent to the test.
Teen years are great,
don't get me wrong,
just don't let the pressure
take over your life-
or you'll be singing
a different song.
