                   ~Amiss Without~


Their eyes to the loose soil
 
Nobody says a word
 
Cries of anguish deep inside
 
But not a wimper is heard
 
Aching for the other half...
 
Left here alone to walk the path...
 
The dirt now packed and the people gone.
 
All are gone except for one
 
A single rose clutched in one hand
 
He kneels down to touch the ground
 
Placing his hand upon the stone...
 
Ever so softly he weeps alone.
 
Amiss without.
 
She was the one, to whom he'd of given his first born son
 
No longer here to lighten the load...
 
Taken from him, to her new abode
 
A prayer on the wind of summer's breath
 
Carried to the heavens, wishing for death...
 
A broken man his hand does shake
 
A rose left which no hand can take
 
Words forgotten never meant so much...
 
As his cheek caressed by a lover's touch
 
I love you never seems enough
 
When it is your heart that has been snuffed...

       I have a few days left until I come home. I however will not be alone. I have such a friend that is like a brother to me. We have became so close you will see
                           Love Son

Dear Son
      It is so great to hear from you. Is it an old friend, or someone new?
We have no problem if he comes with you; he can stay a day or two. 
                   Love Mom&Dad

Dear Mom
        I must tell you that while in combat he has lost an arm. Their is plenty of room for both of us on the farm. Mom he is just like a brother to me. Give him a chance and you will see. 
                         Love Son

Dear Son
      It will be ok for him to stay.  For it seems in the military that was his price to pay. He can still help the best he can. Even though he has only has one hand. 
                 Love Mom&Dad

Dear Mom
         That is good news to hear for he will be full of cheer. I must tell you also in combat that he has lost a leg. Please welcome him as if your own I beg. He is such a friend to me. If it wasn't for him. I would no longer be. 
                        Love Son

Dear Son
       I'm sorry to inform you this way. For your father and I can't  let your friend stay. We have no place or time for a crippled man around this home. 
It would not be save for him to roam.  
                      Love Mom & Dad


Two weeks latter their son arrives in a casket . It was not big enough for him to fit His cause of death was suicide. When they looked deep inside. That's when they were alarmed. Their son was missing a leg and a arm. 


Oh My Gosh...That was so sad

The resting sonata


Dont free me from this life of pain;

Please do not judge for what you 
have caused.  

Never knowing who or what I am. 

I never did anything to you, but live from you. 

It's not fare not to give me a voice. 

I know you have seen me as a shape and a beat. 

But I will never see you; you have made up your mind. 

I was only made out of love. 
For I was a part of GODs plan

Why must you choose to end me this way. 

I am a living breathing person. 

To you I'm nothing more than a mass. 

I did not ask to be treated like this; sentenced to death. 

I will never get that chance to see the one who gives me a heart beat. 

Why? I did nothing to you at all. 

It was your decision to put me here, but just not by yourself. 

You knew what could happen; you still took that chance. 

Now I wait here until you make up when it's time. 

My time that you will hang me and pull me apart from you. 

I know that you will never miss me for I am already gone to you. 

I was a mistake; that's all that I can hear. 

I wish you could just give me a chance to prove I can make you proud of me. 

I know it's now to late because I can see the light. 

Huh! I'm dying and you don't fucking care. 

I am a mistake; that's all I can still hear. 

I'm out; I'm dead; I'm no more. 

You gave me not one chance to call you mom!

What if the baby could talk before the abortion had happened?

Would it have made a difference?

It was all a mistake! You were the one with the bed strapped to your back. 

I was with you until the END!

Together Forever

She is like the sun,  
he is like the moon.  
 Though in their minds they felt trouble,  
  their hearts maintained the pursuit.  
   The chemistry they felt,  
    could be avoided no longer.  
   For each other they felt,  
  the deepest of hunger.  
 Even on the sunniest of days  
when the two became one,  
it always seemed to rain.  
   She arose like a beautiful flower,  
    though he carried a dark cloud,  
     with him she felt such power.  
      They knew from the start...  
  the reasons unspoken.  
      Their love would never work,  
     two hearts will be broken.  
    Yet it did not stop them from trying,  
   they had to be together...  
  their attraction undying.  
   He was the bad boy,  
    she was the golden child.  
     Since the day they met,  
      their hearts went wild.  
  The thrill was exciting,  
  often sneaking away.  
  There was no question it was going to happen,  
      the question was, which way?  
     Skipping school,  
    staying out late,  
   passionate glances,  
  extended breaks.  
  The late night began like every other,  
  out their windows they crawled,  
  to sneak away with each other.  
  Driving down the road  
   music up high,  
    he leaned over for a kiss  
     while stopped at the light.  
      Out of nowhere it came,  
  last thing they saw were bright lights.  
    Hit head on
   In the middle of the night
  All they ever wanted
  Was to be together for Always
      Now they will be together Forever
