Stay
Here I am
But you can’t see me
I try to call out to you
No response
Please, I need you
Don’t go
Why won’t you listen
Keep me warm
Don’t let me get cold
I’m sorry
If only I had known
Stop crying
I didn’t mean it
I promise
I’ll never die again

Searching
|
I think of days when all I had were friends An wonder if tomorrow I shall see A time when laughter never seems to end A day like those that passed, where I am free The boisterous sounds of merriment I knew Have fallen by the wayside, gone away Replaced, I see, by worries, false and true And longings for the ones who went astray A dull, unchanging, boredom has replaced The eager days of youth and vigor, true But memory does not falter when being faced By futures that look sad, depressed, and cruel So if you see the past, please let it know I’m searching for it with nowhere to go |

Sands
As the sands move slowly, I think of you
I sit here and listen to the machines
Thoughts run through my head, thoughts
Your smile, gentle and soothing
Your eyes, searching, finding my soul
Your hands, holding me gently
Love, a love unending, and eternal
But these are only thoughts, not truths
The machines stop running, I return to work
As the sands move slowly, I think of you
