My heart is like a whore
For I've given it to many men.
Without questions, without expectations;
With only one exception:
The only thing I've ever asked for;
The only thing I've ever expected
Was for their love in return.
But without exception, without fail
Each one took my heart,
Crumpled it up, and threw it away.
Like my love was worthless, a simple piece of trash;
Something that was easily and frequently discarded.
So now pieces of my heart are floating around,
Like pieces of paper tumbling in the wind
And I have to gather them up.
But some of them will be lost forever;
Some of them I'll never be able to find again.
But those pieces that I do regain,
I will try to put back together with what remains
So my fragmented heart will once again be whole.
For now I realize that it isn't worthless
My love is valuable, priceless
And I'm saving it for someone who will treasure it;
Who will treat it like a special gift
That I've given to him and no one else.
And I hope that he will forgive me
For the pieces that I gave away before.

For five months I have waited
And held all my tears
But last night I let them flow
I never again wanted to cry for you
Because of what you did
You don't deserve my tears
Because of what you did
I Gave up
I find no hope in humanity
Because of what you did
I see no love in a heart
I look for the corruption
Because of what you did
I no longer care
I try not to feel
I try not to cry
You don't deserve my tears
Because of what you did
I lost the only thing that made me happy
You were what got me through each day
But because of what you did
I don't know what to do
All that is left is tears
Tears that have been waiting to fall
Waiting for me to break
Waiting for me to admit
That I miss your love
But you don't deserve me
Because of what you did
I am now lost
Alone without you or anybody else
You don't deserve my tears
But I still cry for you

So as you shiver in the cold and the dark,
Look into the fire and see in its spark-
My eye
Watching over you
As you walk in the wind's whistling claws,
Listen past the howling of the wolf's jaws.
My song
Comes to you
And when you're lost in trackless snow,
Look up high above the eagles go.
My star
Shines for you
In deep, dark mine or on crumbling peak,
Hear the words of Love I speak.
My thoughts
Are with you
You are not forsaken
Your are not forgotten
The North cannot swallow you
The snow cannot bury you
I will come for you
Everything will get warmer
And the gods will smile
But oh, my love, guard yourself well-
All this may not happen for a long, long while.

'Friends' is such a lonely word
he said he wanted to be friends
I stare at our picture
Grinning like goons
Wrapped in a blanket of bliss
I keep this picture
To remind me of things
His kiss as sweet as strawberries
The way he rolled his eyes when I exasperated his
The clacking of his castanets
As he leapt across the stage like a graceful gazelle
But now I only taste
Salty sadness
I hold it on the tip of my tongue
Trying to remember
And now I only hear
The sound of silence screaming at me
And now I only see
Ashes of incense falling like the petals of a black rose
To stain the carpet as black as my heart
How could feelings so strong vanish like incense?
For four years, he said he loved me
It was whispered between kisses
I gobbled his words
And in a week
It was gone
he said, 'Nothing'
What did I do wrong?
But I knew that was a lie
Just when we were starting to fuse
Like warm wax
he abandoned me
To the solace of this picture
That I clutch in my palm
The only remnant I have left
Of our days of wine and roses
I think he got scared
Wine burns
And roses can smell too sweet
Now when we meet
There are only
Walls of Awkwardness
We build them
One brick at a time
To protect ourselves
From future disasters
I've lost my sense of stability
he was a place of peace
In a lonely world
I'm sad because I'm not with him
I'm mad because I don't know why
At least I have the picture that he give me long time ago!

On the Wings of Dreams
I'm flying free
with a dreamer's dream,
To a land without fear, darkness, and doubt;
Where shadows and hauntings
of all time and space,
Are rainbows with colors that endlessly grace...
happiness, hope, and all joys to embrace.
A land with no storms, without pouring rains,
where changes abound and great comfort remains;
Where all hate is replaced,
all questions erased;
Where new memories are shaped,
with wonderous light...
of romance and love, before out of sight;
A dreamland of heaven without jaded thought,
where butterflies are free,
their colors uncaught;
With milk oceans to see,
fresh air to breathe;
Countless flowers and trees,
fragrancing the soft whispering breeze.
No more webs of deceit,
where lovers have fought;
No battles of hopelessness,
where all love is lost.
Maybe our dreams hold the land of our thoughts,
Or maybe our hearts have learned lessons well taught.
It is the stairway to heaven,
this dreamland we seek...
Hopefully for all is more than a peek...
at a future end to the ultimate pain,
of great loyalty and love...
lost and estranged.
This dance of life I endlessly write,
Is an end to the pain, and every soul's light.
To a life fulfilled at the end of our time...
to dream second chances for new love we can find.
Here's to all of us ending our heavenly climb,
With the company of romance and lovelight sublime.

We were best friends from the start
It's been ten or eleven years.
Who would of ever thought
I'd cry so many tears?
The laughter through High School
Always kept me going.
The love between the two of us
Never stopped growing.
Graduation came
And we went our separate ways.
Two years later, we met again...
Oh my, what a day!
I fell for him so hard
That I couldn't find myself.
Lost in so many emotions
I didn't know what I felt.
It was great for a while
Then I started to back away.
I took him for granted
Our relationship began to decay.
After trials of tears and fighting
He decided it would be best,
If we went our separate ways
And put our love to the test.
We tried again to work things out
But it simply didn't work.
And now my pain and selfishness
Continues to stay and lurk.
What if I'd been more open
And cared a little more?
Would he still love me enough
To not walk out the door?
My regret is that I let
Our friendship slip away.
But if I had the chance again,
I'd let him love me anyway.
For if in time we're friends again,
The pain will slowly go.
And the road we took to get us there,
We will surely know...
That it was worth to be loved
And needed at the time,
Because some people go through life
And love they never find.
Candlelight spills into my room.
It falls across your face and even mine
It falls across your body,
It discovers you, your perfections, your Imperfections,
Your hopes and aspirations.
The candlelight is soft and so forgiving.
The candlelight is warm and inviting.
When the morning comes and the candle is
Through it will have already discovered you.
Now it is gone the warmth is lost.
You are left in the twilight of early dawn.
You have been stripped bear as sleep rushes in.
Now sleep my darling, for I am here
I am still the candle that burns with in.
@Portorican Princess
I love the way you make me laugh
I love the way you make me cry
Tears of joy stream from my eyes
As I hear your voice, a loving surprise.
I love you when you're angry
I love you when you're sad
I love you when you're glad
When you tell me of the day you had
I love you truly
I love you deeply
Ever since the day
I let you meet me
I missed you when you left
I miss you now more than ever
Making a mistake that I regret
Hoping that you are a forgiver
Without you, my life is strife
But now I ask for a second chance
Be with me and start a life
Together forever, an eternal dance
I wait for you as the days go by
My love is growing inch by inch
I cannot wait to see you again
But I wait for you, and your warm kiss
I love you
@portrican princess
The day you were born, the whole world was blessed
These thoughts in my mind to you I must confess
The time has come for me to express my true feelings
You are the center of my thoughts and the essence of my being
What you have brought me I never thought I could procure
The gift of comfort, with you I am secure
For you have lifted me up from a life filled with sorrow
And made me realize there is always a better tomorrow
It amazes me how someone can make me feel this way
I love you more and more with each passing day
You brighten my days and lift my spirits
I have felt this for so long and now want you to hear it
So you may know the place you hold in my heart
You are always with me even when we're apart
I truly believe what we have is meant to be
Just open your heart and soon you shall see
What I am willing to do to keep a smile on your face
Just know that I'm here and will be always
@portrican princess
I love you today and
I will love you tomorrow
Just some words
To clear the sorrow
That will never
Leave my heart or yours
From this day forward
You are so special to me
I love you
With all my heart
Always have
And always will
From family and friends
That never end
You will always be with me
As I will always be with you
Until we cross the gates of heaven
There we will always be
Together until the end
