Remember that you are a work of art.
That with the sun light hitting you as you glisten or a shadow creeping upon your skin, a master piece is still a master piece ,with or without the lights on, crowded or empty showcase.
Do not forgot the splattered paint you call your failures, built you into who you are.
You were an art exhibit he did not wish to enter.
Remember that just because he didn't look beneath the covers, that there wasn't a Mona Lisa waiting to be revealed.
That the messy days were bad enough to leave.
That the good days weren't good enough to stay.
That just because he looked that way instead of your way, that you aren't okay.
In the end, you were just too much. A man's ego is never one to be tampered with but you had the power at the tip of your fingers and he took it away. Not only that, he took it away without saying that the simple fact , those were his problems not yours. Because you are a master piece.
You are a work of art.
He was the one that chose not to open his eyes.
I can't help feeling like you are the light that shines in the night sky.
When I told you I still cared about you
I was expecting the worst
But you gave me a glimmer of hope and I ran with it
My diluted mind formed galaxies around us.
I have tried to pull my eyes back down to earth
But it's hard when something more beautiful exists up there.
Today, December 23rd, another Christmas nears.
I try to keep tradition up while holding back my tears.

I know I have been blessed for all the many years
of love and joy and family and times we had to share.

The presents wrapped, the tree is lit, the wreath upon the door,
but pondering all the Christmases past and tears begin to fall.

This Christmas will be different,
for some very special loved ones have received God's final call.

Then I dry my tears and say a special prayer.
Dear God, my gift to you is that soul I loved so dear.

I thank you for their life and love
I was so blessed to share.

Now all that I can ask of you is to keep them in your care!
I also want to offer you my each and every tear.

Now I promise to make Christmas joy for those I still have here
and put a smile upon their face while we have time to share.

Amen

Let me dream
Let my mind be with the stars
Let me be the outlet for your pain
Let me be what keeps you sane
Let me lick the blood from your lips;
And the rythm in your hips
Let me be you;
Because I could never be me
Let me be your moon and your stars;
The thing that keeps you afar;
From the dark within
Let me be your sin
Let me be your saviour
Please, just let me be;
Everything I couldn't be
She and I, we lived completely different lives
like night and day trying not to be afraid of being in between.
I've seen a dark sky eclipse the brightest days,
the highways drenched in complete silence
a timeless space where no cars are passing by
and you and I were forever destined to go separate ways,
except we weren't really moving.

I've lived through the Hellos and I've survived the goodbyes
the wind might cry but I'm certain we were meant to part...
Because she and I, we lived completely different lives
like tangent lines, never meant to be together forever
just an effort to prolong the possibility of being apart.

Because she and I, we lived completely different lives...
You would think
That every little thing
That reminds me of you
Would bring
A grin
Of nostalgia.

But that fan
That reminds me of the way
Your hair blew in the wind

And the blanket
That reminds me of the times
We hid ourselves from the world

Only further remind me
That I am here alone
With these memories
And you are back home.
The only one
That can turn an overwhelming moment
Into a lovely memory
Meh
Stop crying I tell myself
The clouds continue to rain
He still loves me and he will
It says in every card
I read them to keep me sane
I will see him in the evening
He will come, for sure
But something in me tells me
I gave him more than he can endure
The pain in my chest is killing
This anxiety is all I'm feeling
I'm losing him
Christmas eve blues
"Colored Pencil"
As my colored pencil
slides along the page
spreading the hues

My mind wanders
thinking of past times,
and my hand moves

silver green flows
the sheen of the river
that i'm drawing

shf shf
the paper says
as I dot the gold leaves

brown and green pines
dot the shore
of the sparkling stream

gray lead shapes the stones
used for making the bridge
as well as the shadows

and the sun shines merrily
on the cool sandy shore
as the burble of the river
blends with the light clouds.
