M's Poetry
With Me Always
I think I always knew you wouldn't be here long
it wasn't in what you said, it was your tone
I think I saw it coming but blindly turned away
I heard your cries for help
only I was too busy trying to find myself
oh how stupid but oh how true
and in the process I lost you....
God you were so beautiful and that smile
man could that warm my heart
I was born a bit chilly but you changed that
put together the broken pieces and gave them back
but who was there to fix yours?
the last few times I saw you I sensed you had changed
I felt it in our conversations, saw that journal
I was never supposed to see
cried silently away from everyone because I felt your pain
I was just a teenager, a kid who thought it was a stage
you would just grow out of it I told myself
I had went through my own angst
sorry I just thought it was part of the growing up process
I was so wrong....
it just takes one song to take me back to you
As I Lay Me Down...the first song we danced to
we were both 12 and awkwardly taking our first steps
in this crazy world together
you kissed me and I mumbled well I like you to
in that oh so sarcastic tone but you knew exactly what I meant
you smiled and shot right back "I hate my dance partner"
but stopped and whispered but " I kinda love you"
when I visit your grave that memory forever plays
and I will never forget because your mother had those words engraved
so no matter through song, memory or words on a gravestone
you have never truly died, you live on.....
