Don't Know why

 My head lays on my pillow;
the room is dark and damp.
(-- if I could only see your face,
though I know that I can't)

I try to close my eyes and sleep,
but your face haunts my dreams.
(I feel like I've been torn apart...
I'm broken at the seams.)

I toss and turn; I'm restless.
I know I will not sleep;
(I know that I still think of you.

Do you still think of me?)

My eyes now face the darkness;
the demon's haunting our lives.
(It seems we had it all and more;
Why did you leave me? Why?)

It seems the clock ticks slowly,
and yet our love went by so fast.
(Just where did I go wrong in this,
to make this love not last?)

I sit up smooth, but slowly;
I grip my sheets in my bare hands.
(Why did you have to leave me here?
I just don't understand...)

It seems the night is quiet
as I stand by my dark window.
(You left with not a word to say;
why did you have to go?)

Laying on my bed once more,
I stare blankly ahead.
(Was this all you or was it me?
Is our love truly dead?)

I feel like such an empty pleasure,
like I could scream aloud this night.
(Was I just living in a dream?
Was nothing really right?)

I watch the seconds pass me by;
The silence fills my heart.
(You know that I am fragile;
do you know I'm torn apart?)

A tear slides down my ghostly face
and falls onto my sheets.
(Wre you just playing with my head?
Did you truly love me?)

I close my eyes so gently
as if I am afraid I'll break.
(How did we lose the love we had?
Was all the love a fake?)

The questions lull me into sleep,
a sleep filled with your face.
(I thought that you had melt my heart
which no one could replace...)

Heart Prints

Whatever our hands touch-
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
There's no escape.
As we touch we leave our identity.

Oh God, wherever I go today
Help me leave heart prints! 
Heart prints of compassion
Of understanding and love. 

Heart prints of kindness
And genuine concern.
 
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter
Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps an aged grandfather.

Lord, send me out today
To leave heart prints.
And if someone should say
"I felt your touch,"
May that one sense YOUR LOVE
Touching through ME.

Just Smile At Me

Please, just smile at me.
I know things will be alright.
When everything goes wrong,
Your smiles a wonderful sight.
Please, just smile at me.
I long to see that glow.
How much I really need you,
You'll probably never know.
Again, just smile at me.
It brightens up my day.
Turn and send that twinkle;
Direct it over this way.
Again, just smile at me.
My dreams come alive.
I can't describe that feeling,
Whenever you arrive.
Please, just smile at me.
Even when I say "Don't".
You tell me that I'll make it,
Even though I think I won't.
Now I know that when you smile,
You're saying "I know you can."
So, I turn to face the future,
And you smile once again.

Why Do I Cry ?

Sometimes we argue, I don't know why.
Then I sit and wonder, why do I cry?

I cry because I love you,
I cry because I care,
I cry because I feel we have a love so rare,
sometimes I'm afraid I'll turn around and you won't be there.

I love you every minute,
I love you every day,
I even love you when we argue,
I love you when we play.

Sometimes I've wondered do you love me too,
then I look in your eyes and
I know it's true.
So when I say something a little crazy
or I do something you don't feel is right,
Please, let's try to work it out so we won't fight.

Some people take relationships for granted
it's sad to hear but true,
I don't want this to happen, not with you.
I want our relationship to be completely from the heart
so we both know, no matter what we go through we will never part.

This Is for You

Let me lie in your arms tonight
So you can love me for the rest of our lives 

Let you brighten the way with your eyes
And keep this love we share alive.
 

Let me feel the tenderness of you heart 

With the hope that we will never be apart 

 it was magical from the start 

Coz we are this painting of art.
 

This is for you 

All my emotion inside 

Love that will never die

This is for you 

Can't put it in words 

You are my world 

This is for you.

 
Let me see how much you care
The love with me you want to share
Splitting with you I cannot bare

Taking that road I will not dare.
Let me know what I mean to you 

Cuz I believe that our love is true 

Hope that you feel the same way to 

And loving you is all I want to do.....

Just give me your heart
And I'll hold it tight 

All of your love 

I'll make it all right.
