MY ONLY LOVE
I never stopped loving you
for a second or even a moment.
I never breathed without you on my lips,
I never smiled without your face on my mind.
Every face I saw was yours ...
Since you've gone, I've looked at no other,
your lips soft as silk, are the only thing left on my lips.
Photos, are vague reminders of our love.
Your smile shows the love you once held for me.
Letters of yours I clutch tightly
running my fingers over "I love you"
trying to smile as I remember how much I love you,
but all I can do is cry.
I sit here and clutch the things you have given me,
things I should've thrown out, but that I couldn't bear to part with.
Your memories live on in my heart.
Hard to forget your face, your touch.
I sit here and try to remember what happened ...
I take my feelings and shove them back in my heart until you are locked away.
I stare at the key in my hand,
and I throw the key away hoping for it to never be found.
Your love is something I'll never get again.
I've lost the key.

THE PAIN OF LOVE
I remember how in love we were,
how we met I'm not so sure.
You treated me so well at first,
then things took a turn for the worst.
I didn't leave you,
because I thought there was something I could do,
I didn't want to believe any of it was true.
I was just so in love with you,
I never wanted us to be through.
You said that I really hurt you,
but you put me through hell too.
All my love was yours to take,
instead it was my heart you chose to break,
now I know trusting you was a mistake.
Love was all I ever felt for you,
now I have hurt and hate too.
You asked me if I loved you then how could I hurt you,
what about you, if you loved me than how could you hurt me too?
Were we doomed to be hurt,
was fate against our love?
Instead of challenging everything,
we just gave up trying,
gave up caring.
Maybe it wasn't meant to be,
we were just too blind to see.

WHAT DO I DO?
What do I do with my love,
which was only for you?
What do I do with my heart,
which you hold the key to?
What do I do with my memories,
which were of me and you?
Now that you are gone.
How do I deal with this pain,
without you I'll never be the same?
How do I repair my heart,
you hurt when you decided to part?
How do I forget your face,
that I just can't seem to replace?
How do I forget your touch,
that I miss so much?
How do I forget your smile,
that seems to linger awhile?
How do I forget your lips,
from which beautiful words slipped?
How do I forget your kiss,
which was pure bliss?
How do I forget my love,
which was held only for you?
What do I do with my heart?

A THING ABOUT LOVE
Don't you hate it when you fall in love,
when he's all you're thinking of?
You've given your heart to him,
but he won't let you in.
Don't you hate it when you wish,
for him to give you just one kiss?
But his lips remain still,
as cold as a November chill.
Don't you hate it when you cry,
thinking to yourself and wondering why?
Why his love is not yours to keep,
why he's not with you when you sleep?
Don't you hate it when you pray,
that he will be yours someday?
That's all you seem to do,
hoping it'll all someday come true.

TAKE THIS
Take this heart of mine,
with it I am nothing but blind.
Take this love that I have,
it belongs to you anyway.
Take away my identity,
without you I'm nothing.
Take my thoughts and hide them from me,
there are things in there I do not want to see.
Take my voice and lock it away,
I say things sometimes I shouldn't say.
Take my soul and keep it in your pocket,
and lock my feelings in a golden locket.
Take my pain away,
so it will leave my heart.
Take my kisses and hold them in your hand,
and wash them away with a handful of sand.
Take all that I am away,
away from me will it forever stay.

LETTER
She sits on her bedroom floor,
wishing she wasn't here anymore.
Holding in her hands a note,
she slowly reads the words he wrote.
Tears begin to flow from her eyes,
and from her mouth escape low cries.
Her heart beats rapidly,
her eyes so blurred, she can't even see.
His words pound into her heart,
slowly tearing it apart.
He no longer needs her in his life,
he found someone he'd rather call 'wife.'
The love that was once there,
faded softly into the air.
She stands,
the note gripped tightly in her hands.
She wipes tears away with her palm,
breathing slowly, she tries to remain calm.
crumples the note and tosses it in the garbage,
along with any emotions and all her rage.

HATE
Hate controls me,
I can no longer see.
My heart is a metal cage,
instead of love, it holds only rage.
My soul is filled with so much fear,
your words are all that I can hear.
My life is held in the palm of your hand,
without you by my side I can't even stand.
My tears are like fire on my face,
I find sanctuary in my hiding place.
Look at me,
do you like what you see?

MISSING YOU ...
I can't stop thinking about you,
I wish I could find something else to do.
My heart aches so bad,
when I remember what we had.
We used to be so great together,
I thought I'd be with you forever..
You used to long to be with me,
now you no longer have time for me.
I can't play these games anymore,
so then what am I still here for?
People believe your love is gone,
please tell me, are they wrong?
I still believe it in my heart,
and still hope we never part.
I hope your love is still with me,
but here for you, I can no longer be.
I never asked for much from you,
just that you always stay true.

SISTERS
Sisters are always there for you,
and no matter what they always care.
Sinsters are there through thick and thin,
and everything in between.
Sisters protect you from the darkness,
and make the world full of happiness.
If you are sad and you feel like crying,
sisters are there with a hug to lend.
They are there to gossip with and laugh with,
and you may ever utter the word "sis"
Sisters are your strength when you are too weak,
they are your voice when you can't speak.
They are your crutch when you can't walk,
they are your shoulder when you need to cry,
they are your ear when you need a friend.
Sisters share a love with you
that no other could compare to.
Sisters are your link to life,
they are the ones who stand beside you
through the hurt and the pain,
through the tears and the rain.
I now know one thing,
Because of you, I will never be the same.

DANIELLE ACKERMAN
(In Memory of)
We must never ask why,
God gave her wings to fly.
She is our angel above,
Showering us with her love.
So try not to cry,
For the angel that is up high.
She is in a better place,
With a smile across her face.
We will think of her often,
The angel God had not forgotten.
Her wings are shiny like gold,
Close to those arms she used to hold.
As time will come to pass,
We will look up at God and ask,
"Is our angel safe,
Is there a smile upon her face?"
The answer will be sunshine,
His answer for, "She is fine."
At that, let us wipe our eyes,
And look up to the sky as she flies.
No more will we ask, "Why her?"
We know the answer that is for sure.
God had found an angel he'd forgotten,
So let us think of her often.

I SOMETIMES WONDER.......
If only I would've been there for you,
would it still be me and you?
If only I said 'I love you' more often,
would you have stayed then?
If only I showed you more love,
would I still be your only one?
If only I didn't argue,
would I still be with you?
If only I loved you a little more,
would my heart not be so sore?
If only I gave more instead of took,
would you give me another look?
If only I didn't get upset,
would you still regret the day we met?
If only I cared a little less,
then would I still be in this mess?
Sometimes I wonder about me and you,
and think if only there was something I could do.

DAYS GO BY ...
If only you knew what you mean to me,
what would it take for you to see?
Sometimes I lay awake wondering where you are,
silently making a wish on my bright star.
Lately my days seem sad and dark,
my heart still aches where you left your mark.
I sit and stare at pictures of you,
and think to myself, 'if only you knew.'
If only you knew how I miss you,
what would it make you do?
Sometimes I wish we'd never met,
then maybe your face I could forget.
Lately I've been thinking of things I want to say,
things I hope to say to you someday.
If only you knew how I long to be yours forever,
then would we be together?
Sometimes I wonder what happened to us,
you know I'd never hurt you on purpose.
Lately my heart feels like it's dying,
and all I feel like doing is crying.
If only you knew,
how much I love you,
would you say it to me too?

THINKING OF YOU
Sitting in class, with you on my mind
words for my feelings I cannot find
thoughts and images of you
my heart with a love, oh so true.
Sitting, wondering where you are,
knowing that you're so very far.
I try to picture your face
my memory can't find it anyplace.
Time seems to have slowed down.
There's only silence instead of sound.
I miss your smile, your touch,
your voice - oh so much.
So many things I want you to know
feelings for you I don't even show
I wish you knew my feelings for you
I don't know just what to do.
I wonder, if you knew
how I feel about you
what would you do?
