Silence
Silence-
I used to hate it.
I used to feel the need to say anything just to fill the void.
Now, I welcome the quiet.
It brings calm, serenity.
It gives me valuable time to listen, to think, to breathe.
It comforts me.
I can be still and just be.
Makes me wonder how I can be so calm now
And be so happy!

To My Sister
Another Holiday without you.
No word,
Nothing, but silence.
I suppose I am used to your silence.
Just another day
Struggling with my faith,
Dealing with overwhelming guilt, loss and sadness.
This is the time of forgiveness.
But you refuse to yield.
So much anger and pain.
Hypocrite!
What do you believe in?
Who are you to judge?
Practice what you sing, what you teach!
Shut me out without hearing all sides.
You close you ears.
You believe what you choose to believe in.
Who are you to judge?
Who...

Repay Debt
How do I repay my debt to you?
Will that help you? Me? Us?
Then you know what to do.
Let me know, Sir.
I realize there is nothing I can do now.
What's done is done.
I cannot go back in time.
I am fine.

Deafening Silence
I promised I wouldn't run.
I said I would never leave you.
I am not pushing you to speak to me.
I don't know why we stopped talking.
My Silence is deafening.
Do you even notice?
Do you ever wonder about me?
Do you even care?
What was the truth?
Do you even know what the truth is?
I am still here.
I listen, but do not speak.
Our Silence is deafening.
Is this how it is now?
I stay away.
You may come to me.
I seek answers, a resolution.
Let's end this deafening silence.

My Resolve
Should I stay?
Should I go?
Keeping my silence.
Living my life.
Dealing with health issues,
Alone.
Scared.
Decided to write to release
My fears, doubts, pain.
More crap to deal with.
Where am I getting my strength, persistence, good spirits, etc from?
My faith is incredibly strong.
Slowly, I am getting answers to my questions.
I am true.
I am a true Valentine.
A survivor, unbroken.
I leave you.
I still love You...
Why?

Where?
Where does the Love go when a relationship ends?
Your whole life changes
You go to talk to the Somebody
And they are not there
Nor will they ever be again
It's more than Love that's gone
It's more than Someone that's gone
A part of you is also gone for good
It's a Death
So you go through the grieving process
All the stages
You go through Your anger, denial, emptiness, grief, loneliness, pain, sorrow, etc.
Your whole life-world turns upside down
You feel betrayed and question yourself, your judgments
Best be...

Let's Be Us
Let's Run Away
Some place warm
Some place far a way
Where nobody knows us
Where we can play
Where we can be ourselves
Together
Soaking up the sun
Jumping in the waves
Walking on the sand
Holding hands
Let's have fun
Let's Be Us
Some place warm
Some place far a way
Where nobody knows us
Where we can play
Where we can be ourselves
Together
Soaking up the sun
Jumping in the waves
Walking on the sand
Holding hands
Let's have fun
Let's Be Us

What?
Objects floating
Locked doors unlock
Barred windows open
No Entry
No Exit
What is already Inside
Waiting
Hiding
Shaking
Running
Screaming
