The people we meet in life
always stay with us -
some as beautiful memories,
and
some as ugly scars.

you-taking me driving when no one else would
you-letting me talk and telling me I'm understood
you-have a checkered past and so do I
you-making me laugh and making me cry
you-have a voice that makes me love my name
you-I love you but I don't think you feel the same
you-always and forever you

when my heart is done aching
the pain moves to my head
the feelings swarm to my mind
because simmering in my heart
does them no good
at least when they make my head ache
they are allowed to boil over
and be released all at once
captured in headache tears
that once were heartache feelings

whispered
silent
song
on
lips
where
silence
often
rests.

I will lose myself
if it means you can have it all.

I will give everything
if it means you will smile again.

I will, I will, I will.
