love burned
through the pages,
then my hand

small ball
started it

If you have no meaning, you have no life
If you have no life, you have no meaning

If you do not understand love, you will never understand life
If you do not understand life, you will never understand love

If you never hurt, you will never feel
If you never feel, you will never hurt

If you never dream, your life will remain empty
If your life is empty,  you will never dream

If you have no hope, you will never have faith
If you have no faith, you will never have hope

She lit a cigarette with good intentions
Took one slow deep breathe in
Holding onto the noxious relief for longer than reason
Finding single mother half time
Somewhere between 2 sons and a stack of bills

She put out her cigarette with exhaustion
Gripping onto any possibility of a helping hand
Her fingers a light house for the weary
She is disaster relief
Shelter for the homeless

She saved lives
While taking her own
With each smoldering breathe
Her lungs held in my chest
Smoke free for the first time

I miss you like;
the sweet smell of spring ,
I have not seen you for a while,
like I have not seen a whale,

I will do anything just to see you again,
I would sail the seven seas if I have to,
or I will fight the monster that is guarding you,
I will be brave just for you my love,

Our connection is becoming weak,
because there is no physical connection connecting us,
Even if my time will run out,
I will never run out of love for you,

will I ever see you again,
all the time we've spent together,
I will wait for you no matter what,
a world without you is a world without life,
