Romance Died
The romance in me has died
He slowly killed it every time he lied.
I remember when our love had so much fire
Now when I look at him I have no desire.
The blame is on him for turning me cold
My plan was to love him until I grew old.
No longer do I believe in love forevermore
Tho I yearn to be the lady somebody will forever adore.
My broken heart beats but has no life
Living everyday struggling in strife.
I have so much affection I want to give
Afraid that forever lonely I am going to live.
In the name of love, many tears I've shed
Grieving...

Agree to Disagree
Agree to disagree is what you said
Of course that works for you
That arrangement will still get me in bed.
You won't let me express what I want to say
Making things more difficult asking me
"How you gonna do me this way?"
Feeling a bit lost & confused
You said no emotions involved
Yet, to let me go, you've refused.
Rejected, is how you feel
I know what you mean
At times you treat me like I'm no big deal.
To feel & know I am special is all I ask
But getting you to say so
Has become a daunting task....

For Both of You
The time has come for me to be strong
Hold my head high, I've been down for far too long.
Afraid of never being worthy of true love
Hoping to find the one who fits me like a glove.
In the meantime I'll do what I can
Wipe up the tears I've cried for this man.
I can't remember the last time he held me
Or spoke words of assurance & security.
I am a woman who wants to be kissed
When I am gone, tell me it is me you missed.
A fairy tale believer without any shame
What do i have to lose? Amazing love to gain.
My loneliness has led me to take...
Hold my head high, I've been down for far too long.

Fog
Confusion boggles my mind
Reality seems so hard to find.
Blinding fog of thoughts so thick
All this pain has made me sick.
A woman of so much love to give
I can no longer forgive.
There has to be a man who will love me
If you would just let me go to be free.
Nobody knows of what you have done
A happy family they see..you, me, & our son.
Feeling so trapped with no way out
You never hear me, even when I shout
Thoughts unclear of what is true
Not knowing what to do
Stuck feeling so blue
No longer will I...

Unrecognizable
I look in the mirror & what do I see?
An unrecognizable reflection of me.
My eyes so sad with no sign of life
Sixteen years I have been his wife.
So many hurts & pains inside
He doesn't see me as his beautiful bride.
He lusts & longs for other lovers
My disgust in him I try to cover.
Layers of hurt blanket my soul
I don't know how I lost control.
Feeling so ugly from the outside in
So much pain I don't know where to begin.
My daddy used to say I wasn't pretty
Called me a bitch without a worry.
A grown woman...
An unrecognizable reflection of me.
My eyes so sad with no sign of life
Sixteen years I have been his wife.
So many hurts & pains inside
He doesn't see me as his beautiful bride.
He lusts & longs for other lovers
My disgust in him I try to cover.
Layers of hurt blanket my soul
I don't know how I lost control.
Feeling so ugly from the outside in
So much pain I don't know where to begin.
My daddy used to say I wasn't pretty
Called me a bitch without a worry.

Your Passtime
The moment I realized
I believed all of your lies
I felt just like a fool
This lesson wasn't learned in school
People are so cold, mean, & unreal
No one in touch of what they feel
I trust people to always be true
A mistake of my unconditional love, what can I do?
You take advantage of my wide open heart
All I've been is your passtime from the start
But now my eyes are open to your ungrateful ways
You'll be sorry one of these days
Don't ever come back with your silly games
I promise you now it'll never be the same...
I believed all of your lies
I felt just like a fool
This lesson wasn't learned in school
People are so cold, mean, & unreal
No one in touch of what they feel

You take advantage of my wide open heart
All I've been is your passtime from the start
But now my eyes are open to your ungrateful ways
You'll be sorry one of these days
Don't ever come back with your silly games
I promise you now it'll never be the same...

Question of Friendship
Our life paths crossed at such a weary time,
I became your best friend, and you are mine.
Friendship comes in many shapes & forms,
Some on bright days, others in the storms.
Seasons change and so do friends,
I like to keep mine until thee end.
Loyalty, laughter, and love mean the most to me,
Sharing time together & making a special memory.
Yet we cannot be friends in the public eye
So are we truly friends until we die?
I became your best friend, and you are mine.
Friendship comes in many shapes & forms,
Some on bright days, others in the storms.
Seasons change and so do friends,
I like to keep mine until thee end.
Loyalty, laughter, and love mean the most to me,
Sharing time together & making a special memory.
Yet we cannot be friends in the public eye
So are we truly friends until we die?

Untrue Me
No one knows the real me
If they did, shocked they'd be.
Mistakes I've made time after time
If they knew, it will blow their mind.
They see a joyful smile on my face
Not having any idea what has taken place.
Lifelong battle to do what is right
Lust & mind, always a fight.
Never wanting to resist affection
Feeling so unwanted, I despise rejection.
I live a life that is so untrue
I'd lose it all, if they knew.
Giving myself away to nobody real
Just to feel a moment of thrill.
They look to me in admiration
Not knowing I'm living in...
If they did, shocked they'd be.
Mistakes I've made time after time
If they knew, it will blow their mind.
They see a joyful smile on my face
Not having any idea what has taken place.
Lifelong battle to do what is right
Lust & mind, always a fight.
Never wanting to resist affection
Feeling so unwanted, I despise rejection.
I live a life that is so untrue
I'd lose it all, if they knew.
Giving myself away to nobody real
Just to feel a moment of thrill.

As Light as a Feather
It's so dark inside this place
So dark I can't recognize my own face
Living this life for two decades
Each day that passes my hope fades
Broken promises & unrealistic dreams
You never loved me or so it seems
You haven't a clue on who I am
I feel as if you don't give a damn
My efforts have gone unrecognized
I am tired, no longer want to compromise
You say you want to keep our family together
But you take my heartache as light as a feather
Our days together have been more bad than good
I'd change the past if I could
I long for the...

Disguised Sadness
She is lost in her own mind,
Which direction to take, she cannot find.
Torn between her own beliefs,
From the devil's lies, there is no relief.
He hurt her so deeply from the start,
But from him she still could not part.
With high hopes she became his wife,
Never expected to live a lonely life.
Time after time she has cried out,
Softly spoken then screams & shouts.
Her heart speaks to his deaf ears,
His silence cuts her like a spear.
Taunted with thoughts of unworthiness,
She lives each day in disguised...
Which direction to take, she cannot find.
Torn between her own beliefs,
From the devil's lies, there is no relief.
He hurt her so deeply from the start,
But from him she still could not part.
With high hopes she became his wife,
Never expected to live a lonely life.
Time after time she has cried out,
Softly spoken then screams & shouts.
Her heart speaks to his deaf ears,
His silence cuts her like a spear.
Taunted with thoughts of unworthiness,
She lives each day in disguised...
