In Memory Of

She was always there for me,
Through thick or thin.
When I’d run away,
She would take me in.
She was my best friend,
We used to be tight.
But, now we’re nothing,
From just one night.
I wanted to leave,
She looked at me and stopped.
She said just one more drink,
I looked back and she dropped.
I knelt down beside her,
With a tear in my eye.
I screamed at the fact,
That my best friend just died.

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me,
And I’m not here to see.
If the sun should rise and find your
eyes filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn’t cry,
the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things
we didn’t get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you.
And each time you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me, too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand.
That Jesus came and called my name
And took me by the hand.

And said my place was ready
in heaven far above.
And that I’d have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart.

The Memory

So confusing,
So misunderstood,
How could I love you so much,
When you were up to no good.

It’s not fair,
I should not still care,
But when I think about my future,
I can’t imagine you not there.

Does this make me weak, stupid and dumb,
Have I fallen for the wrong one,
Or was this just a mistake on your part,
Some cosmic joke at the expense of my heart.

Whatever it was I can’t take anymore,
To have my heart ripped out and stomped on the floor,
Please be true to your word and faithful to me,
Be strong, fight your demons, fulfill your promise, I’m worth it-you’ll see.

I Still Wait For You

They say you are gone,
Narrate me incidents of the warring ground,
No one can understand our love,
Cause your presence is all around.

I feel your hands hold me,
When I am about to fall,
I still go out running,
Thinking it’s your call.

I wait for you at supper,
On a table laid for two,
I still feel you next to me,
Help me clean, as you would do.

I look at the moonlit sky,
My eyes search for you,
I plead to the falling stars,
To give me your clue.

I sit on the steps, still
Waiting the day through,
For when you return, would run up,
To say” I really miss you”.
