From Just

From just a touch
My skin turns worm
But with chills
From just your eyes
I can see clearly
But only fog
From just a kiss
You make my heart race
Yet it stops
From just your smile
All worries and sickness
Goes away
But from your worries
I turn scared
And don’t know what to do
And when you’re sad
My stomach goes to knots
My heart breaks
And all I want to do is
Take the sadness out of your eyes
But when you say
“I love you”
That all I can believe
For my heart stops
My sight goes fogy
My skin turns hot
With chills
And all worries and
Sickness are nonexistent
Because
“I LOVE YOU TOO”

I Am

I am a girl, deprived of my innocence
I wonder if the innocence I once had will ever return
I see life changing so fast with out me
I want my life to be easy like it was before
I am a girl needing her innocence

I pretend that my life is fine
I cry for what I have lost and gained nothing
I scream for the pain that I feel in my heart
I am a girl with out her innocence

I dream of the day of no worries
I try to convince my self that I don’t need it
I understand that things will never be the same
I say why did you take my innocence? Why?
I am a Girl.



Family Cry

People crying
No one can help
Why is this happening?
Why can’t they help her?
They do test after test
And yet they say there’s
Nothing they can do.
So they send her away
For more tests
Putting hope in
Our eyes
While we cry.
For there is nothing
We can do but pray
That she’ll be strong
And pull through
For those two
The two kids that
Need their mom
For those little things
That only mom’s can do.


Truth 2 Lies

Through all the lies
there is a truth
yet
through all the truth
there is a lie
to find
the truth
you must look
to lies
for no where
else can the
truth lie
