Thinking Of You (I Am)

At times I find myself still thinking of you

About what we were

What we were not

What we could have been

And what we’ve become

First Light

Hello first light, it’s been a while

I miss the way you slowly kiss my tired and old face

The way you breathe warmth to my early morning

The way I watch as you slowly rise to greet everyone else.

Hello first light

A Conundrum

She was likened to a conundrum

She was often misunderstood 

She walked to her own beat

An unexpected kind of mood

She was a puzzle, a riddle 

That no one was likely to solve

Dark Days

I see the light in your darkest days

I see the moon on a moonless night

I look forward to the sun rising after it has set

I choose to see light even on the darkest days

Your Songs

I still sing the songs you sang

Your favorites that became mine too

They use to make me cry

Now they’re just a reminder

And although sometimes they make me miss you

They also soothe me

And I become fine

Carefree

I wonder if I’d ever fall again

I wonder if that will ever come

Right now I am not looking for it

If it will never come, I won’t mind at all

All The Words

With just one word

Silence or inspiration comes

I Think I’m Ready

My knees feel the tension

I almost buckled 

My heart leapt from my throat 

I half cried and half chuckled

I told myself I had to start somewhere

And now is as any good of a time

So I closed my eyes and there I was

I took the chance

I Am Complicated

How difficult it must be to love me

How hard it must be not to be noticed

To be put aside

Like I’ve done to so many

And yet, I do not feel the loneliness

Either I am numb or just happy to be without anyone

Be Responsible

Sometimes I’d like not to be responsible 

But I found out that I am not capable

I was raised better, I guess

Knowing that life always has a bit of stress

So I go on day in and out
