Forget Me Nots

You plucked me out,
holding me gently in your hand
as you took a whiff.

You told me this,
that I was so beautiful
as I still grew.

You put me down
to pick up a dried blossom
and tried to forget.

You consider us,
that you may want my bloom
as not like the dry.

I try to forget
that you uprooted me from my plot
and made me fall.

I don’t want you
to forget all that we had though…
since I won’t.

Soldier

I want to be a soldier.
They are trained to handle
the toughest of situations,
how to fight tough
when something is
worth fighting for,
how to carry heavy loads
and oh, so much more.

I want to be a soldier
and protect something
precious to others,
protect those who can’t
even protect themselves,
and I want to be a saver…
someone who rescues
even the strongest
and never waver.

And I want to be a soldier
so I will never need a shoulder.

Inspired by “Louder” by Charice.

my soundtrack for you

Rainy days and Mondays always get me down,
but I stick up my chin and grin and say
the sun will come out tomorrow.

There ain’t no mountain high enough
when you wish upon a star…
any way you want it–
that’s what you get.

And I’ll be your bridge over troubled water,
come what may, i will love you…
I will always love you.

Don’t forget to remember me
because
I can’t make you love me
but I will remember you.

I’ve had the time of my life….
so what can I say
when you say nothing at all?

You belong with me.
How do I live
without you
because I love the way you lie?

Raindrops keep falling on my head
so send in the clowns
somewhere only we know.

Nothing about love makes sense.
Please don’t leave me.
Don’t turn around.
Just breathe.
Kiss me.

father’s face

the claws drag across the pristine
too fast, far too fast
leaving

hold it close, don’t let it go
though an expiration lies ahead
grip it with everything, all you have
since most souls forget and don’t
he won’t slow down, but he knows

when something is new, make it last
he only helps a little lengthening is all
but all too soon, it’s flashes by instead
no rewind, but somehow a fast-forward
always going by too fast

you wish the hands would stop the circle
slow it all, slower
going

Forever

Letting someone in
Often doesn’t seem easy.
Very hard will it be for your heart
Even to allow such feelings.

Longing for that touch that
Affects you deep down,
So you think you can’t live without it–
That it changes your life for good.
Searching always for that meaning.

Family and friendship
Over anything else
Reminds you of what’s important.
Even when you think you’re alone,
Vaulted up inside your own world,
Even when time seems too short…
Remember that love lasts forever.
