If tomorrow never came
*
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep,
I would tuck you in more tightly
and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
*
If I knew it would be the last time
that I see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
*
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise,
I would video tape each action and word,
so I could play them back day after day.
*
If I knew it would be the last time,
I could spare an extra minute or two
to stop and say I love you,
instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
*
If I knew it would be the last time
I would be there to share your day,
well I'm sure you'll have so many more,
so I can let just this one slip away.
*
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight,
and we always get a second chance
to make everything right.
*
There will always be another day
to say our I love you's,
And certainly there's another chance
to say our "Anything I can do's?"
*
But just in case I might be wrong,
and today is all I get,
I'd like to say how much I love you
and I hope we never forget,
*
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike,
And today may be the last chance you get
to hold your loved one tight..
*
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes,
you'll surely regret the day,
*
That you didn't take that extra time
for a smile, a hug, or a kiss
and you were too busy to grant someone,
what turned out to be their one last wish.
*
So hold your loved ones close today,
whisper in their ear,
Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear,
*
Take time to say "I'm sorry, please forgive me,"
"thank you" or "it's okay".
And if tomorrow never comes,
you'll have no regrets about today.
A Fool’s Apology
*
In all the time that we have been friends
I never saw this as the way our friendship would end
I won’t stop you from going although I'll miss you every day
But I understand your reasons for sending me away
*
I couldn't feel much worse than I do right now
People have come and gone in my life but I thought not you somehow
I know I'm not perfect but I never claimed to be
But with you I felt allowed to be the real me
*
I cherished your friendship, kept it close to my heart
Enjoyed every moment we were together right from the start
I've been a fool in my life in so many ways
But the loss of your friendship will stay with me always
*
Yes you were right about me, saw straight through my mask
And that getting to know me has in some ways has been a hard task
I'm at the stage in my life when I cannot explain
Let alone deal with all the confusion and pain
*
I'm on a voyage of discovery, to what I don't know
I learn more each day, but find my feeling hard show
But underneath the things you see, I am honest and true
And have felt nothing but respect and admiration for you
*
Honest is something I have always been where your concerned
You have taught me much, and I'll treasure all that I've learned
The trust that you gave me I know I destroyed with one blow
But know that your friendship was one I did not wish to let go
*
I have no one to blame except for me, myself and I
And I will grieve for my loss though you may never see me cry
I have no doubt I will think back to the first time we met
Yours is a friendship I cannot explain or forget
*
The words 'I am sorry' don't even do justice to how I feel
Some say this online stuff is fiction but the pain that's left is real
But even though it was my stupidity that tore our friendship apart
Please know this poem I've written comes straight from the heart
Along the road, Of Fate and Destiny, We walk along, Where we feel, We Ought to be. And when we find, A fork in the path, We turn a corner, And leave the Past. Alone we feel, But we are not, For there are Flowers; Quite a lot, Whether we choose, To See it or not. They are our companions, And our hope, They smile and, Help us to cope; With all of the pains, And rocks, and the stones, And all the sighs, cries And the Moans. Along the road, Of Fate and Destiny, The Flowers Of Friendship bloom, Where we ought to be.
Feelings
I’d rather eat a brick than say I love you
Though I do
I’d rather crawl into a hole and die than call you sweet
Though you are
I’d rather tear off my arm than hug you
Though it’s what I long to do
I’d rather chop off my lips with a serrated knife than kiss you
Though it’s what I wish everyday
I’d rather drink rat poison than ask if you love me
Though I need to know
I’d rather pull my brains out of my nose with a rusty hook than think of you though that’s all I do
So if my heart isn’t in my work
It’s because it knows its place
And if my mind isn‘t on my books it’s because
It knows where it goes
And if you miss the message in this poem
You’d better get your eyes checked
And read it twice.
Happiness
Happiness is a bright beautiful blue
It sounds like laughing children at a playground
It tastes like fresh cooked ballpark hotdogs
It smells like the first roses of spring
Happiness feels like the warm summer sun beating down on you
Hello
I bellow hello
To Punchinello
The unmellow fellow
Wearing bright yellow
whose pint-size legs
Are quite like jello
Cause he has
To play his cello
before a crowd
And he fears it,
So I tell him
Not to worry
and be sure
He doesn't hurry
Cuz he should make sure
That everybody hears it,
Cuz the music's in his heart
and the song is in his soul
and this tiny little guy
Sure has a lot of spirit
How I feel
When I see you
I start to shake
And when I don't
My heart just aches
All I want
Is to be with you
I cry every night
And that's all I do
I dream of me
In your arms
Wishing you were hear
To chase away all my harms
I love you know
I always will
You can't change that
It's how I feel
Love
I promised that I wouldn't
Fall in love with you,
I tried my very hardest
To keep that promise true.
People say you're not my type
That I don't have a clue
They say I'll never have a chance
To even be with you.
But those people don't know me,
They're only guessing this.
And it is true; I'd die happy,
Just to have one kiss.
But that'll never happen,
Do you even notice that I'm there?
I'm sure that if you got to know me
You would start to care.
I may not be the "prettiest"
But I know that this is true
There is noone in this world
Who loves you more than I do
So I know that if I say this
I know all will be fine
From one person to another
Will you please be mine?
Loving you
If you were the moon
and I was the sun,
we'd be an eclipse
together as one.
Words can't explain
how I feel about you
so I'll just say, "I Love You,"
and hope you love me, too.
You are my life,
the only one for me,
without you in my life
where would I be?
When you are not around
it's never the same
there is no love, no joy
just heartbreaking pain.
So if we're close together
or far apart,
I'll never forget
how you touched my heart.
I'm Not You
I'm not you
I'm not even like you
And i never will be
Who i am is who u see
Why do u pick on me?
What have i done to u to make u hate me
You say I’m different
Is that the reason
Do you like to see me cry?
Does it make you feel better?
Well when i die because of you
I don't think you'll feel so good
You'll realize how we could have been friends
I know I’m not you
And that’s why i keep living
Cuz if i were u i would rather die
Then go around killing
That is what you do
You make people so sad and miserably
That they would rather die then see another day
Cuz they know you will be there teasing and beating them
It all goes back to the golden rule
Treat other how you would want to be treated
And you know no one wants to be treated this way
So why do u do this to me?
Answer me that
It's because I’m different from you
Which is true
But still what u do has no reason
And someday you'll be the one their teasing
Friends
Written with a pen, sealed with a kiss,
If you are my friend, please answer me this:
Are we friends, or are we not?
You told me once, but I forgot.
So tell me now, and tell me true,
So I can say "I'm here for you."
Of all the friends I've ever met,
You're the one I won't forget.
And if I die before you do,
I'll go to Heaven and wait for you,
I'll give the angels back their wings
And risk the loss of everything.
There isn't a thing I wouldn't do,
To have a friend just like you!
Sad Poem
*Near to the door*
*he paused to stand*
*as he took his class ring*
*off her hand*
*all who were watching*
*did not speak*
*as a silent tear*
*ran down his cheek*
*and through his mind*
*the memories ran*
*of the moments they walked*
*and ran in the sand hand and hand*
*but now her eyes were so terrible cold*
*for he would never again*
*have her to hold*
*they watched in silence*
*as he bent near*
*and whispered the words..*
*"I LOVE YOU" in her ear*
*he touched her face and started to cry*
*as he put on his ring and wanted to die*
*and just then the wind began to blow*
*as they lowered her casket*
*into the snow....*
*this is what happens*
*to man alive.....*
*when friends let friends....*
*drink and drive.*
Ode to Freaks
Here's to the crazy ones.
The misfits. The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The round pegs in the square holes.
The ones who see things differently.
They aren't fond of rules.
And they have no respect for the status quo.
You can quote them. Disagree with them.
Glorify or Vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
Because they change things.
They push the human race forward.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.
Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do*
Cool Poem
When the light is green you go
When the light is red you stop
but what do you do if the light turns blue
with orange and lavender spots
Crazy Poem
SOME PEOPLE CALL YOU CRAZY
FUNKY COOL AND BAD
FOR GODNESS SAKE, YOU'RE OFF YOUR CAKE
AND TOTALLY FLIPPIN MAD!
SOME PEOPLE THINK YOUR CUTE 'N' SWEET
SOFT AND KIND AND GENTLE
MY FRIEND I KNOW YOU'RE ROUND THE BEND
AND MARVELLOUSLY MENTAL!
Birdy Poem
Birdy Birdy in the sky
Why'd you do that in my eye
Looks like sugar tastes like sap
Oh my gosh it's birdy crap
Mixed Up Poem
I climbed up the door and opened the stairs,
Said my pajamas and put on my prayers,
Then I turned off the bed and crawled into the light,
All because you kissed me goodnight!
*
Next morning I woke up and scrambled my shoes,
Picked up my eggs and toasted the news,
I couldn't tell my left from right,
All because you kissed me goodnight!
*
That evening at last I felt normal again,
So I picked up my mother and called the phone,
I spoke to the puppy and threw Dad a bone,
Even at midnight the sun was still bright,
All because you kissed me goodnight!
Im Gonna Draw A Picture
A Picture With A Twist
Im Gonna Use A Razor And
Draw It On My Wrist
And If I Do It Right
A Fountain Will Appear
And From That Flowing Mountain
All My Toubles Will Disappear!
MISTY
My name is Misty.
I am but three.
I must be stupid.
I must be bad.
What else could have made my daddy so mad?
I wish I were better.
I wish I wasn't ugly.
Maybe then Mommy would want to hug me.
I cannot speak, nor do a wrong.
or else I'm locked up, all day long.
When I wake up, I'm all alone.
The house is dark.
My folks aren't home.
When Mommy does come,
I'll try and be good,
So maybe I'll get just one whipping tonight.
Don't make a sound!
I just heard a car.
Daddy's home from Charlie's bar.
I press my body against the wall.
Just as I fear, my name he calls.
I'm so scared I'm starting to cry.
He finds me weeping.
He shouts ugly words at me.
He says it's my fault
He suffers at work.
Then he slaps, hits, and yells at me some more.
I finally get free and run for the door.
He's already locked it.
I start to bawl.
He picks me up and throws me against the hard wall.
I slide down to the floor, almost all my bones broken.
I'm sorry!, I scream.
But it's much too late.
His face twists into unimaginable hate.
The pain and the hurt come again and again.
Oh God have mercy, please let it end.
Once he's through, he heads out the door.
While i lay there, motionless on the floor.
My name is misty.
I'm only three.
Tonight my daddy murdered me.
Warped and Twisted
Harsh words & violent blows
Hidden secrets nobody knows
Eyes are open, hands are fisted
Deep inside I'm warped & twisted
So many tricks & so many lies
Too many whens & too many whys
Nobody's special, nobody's gifted
I'm just me, warped & twisted
Sleeping awake & choking on a dream
Listening loudly to a silent scream
Call my mind, the number's unlisted
Lost in someone so warped & twisted
On my knees, alive but dead
Look at the invisible blood I've bled
I'm not gone, my mind has drifted
Don't expect much, I'm warped & twisted
Burnt out, wasted, empty, & hollow
Today's just yesterday's tomorrow
The sun died out, the ashes sifted
I'm still here, warped & twisted
Does she smile?
Does she smile?
Yeah on the outside all the time.
But on the inside, she frowns
wondering when the pain will stop...
Everyone says" Your so happy"
Is she really?
No, she just puts on a smile &
lives a lie of happiness
She tries to make everyone else happy
Why not herself you ask?
Everyone else is more important to her...
she would rather see everyone else happy...
and let people see her happy...
Does she smile?
Yes on the outside,
Maybe someday she will finally smile one the inside...
