If I Could

Just Fly Away 

Fly Away

Sometimes I wish I could just fly away
Leave this world behind today
Let my heart be at peace you see
For here on earth there's none for me
I want to run away and hide
From all these things I hold inside
Give up on this life now blue
Hold on to things I know are true
Not ever feel the way I feel today
I think I'll just fly away

Sometimes The Simplest Things

Aren't so Simple

Simplest Things

My mind now stirs
at the simplest things.
About you
and what life brings.
My heart grows cold
like the killing frost.
Without you here
my soul is lost.
I will survive
all this pain.
Through it all
a life regained.
A love once shared
between us two.
Inside a heart
knows love was true.
But in this life
the simplest things;
sometimes are lost
with what love brings.

My Dreams Are Locked Up

Forever 

My Dreams

My dreams now far past
Each turn I make they never last
Inside my mind I still see you
the pain of loss and love come true
Fairytale land it must have been
for again our love did not win
I know true love had beckoned me
oh why oh why could he not see
Our souls had met once again
to show us where our love began
But some where inside we lost that will
to love and honor and always give
My dreams now lay crushed in the past
as once again our love did not last

Now A Lonely Heart

As She Lays Down To Die

A Heart Now Cries

A heart that now cries,
as it bleeds deep inside.
A world of not knowing,
if your coming or going.
A mind now crashing,
from all of your bashing.
A soul no longer full,
just tired of taking your bull.
So for now my heart will cry,
even though I don't understand why.

Upon My Heart

A Darkened Cloud 

Lonesome Dove

The skies now grey and oh so loud,
upon my heart a darkened cloud.
With my love out the window flew,
all my dreams of love come true.
With my heart now fallen deeply blue
my love for you will still hold true.
All my dreams now gone to dust,
inside my mind a blistering rush.
The days that once flew by fast,
upon my heart the broken past.
The days that once held your love,
away they flew like the lonesome dove.

Along With My Heart

My Love Flew 

On My Mind

So many times you've tested me,
this time I chose to let it be.
To turn around and run away,
enjoy your love another day.
I will think of you within my mind,
right now your love I just can't find.
By chance if we shall meet again,
maybe we'll find where our love had once began.
If we don't it's not meant to be,
inside your heart just keep a place for me.
Maybe one day you will really search your soul,
and know with me your life was really whole.
And if you do you can search for me,
deep inside your heart is where I'll always be.
Just waiting there for you to find,
for you will always be on my mind.

Keep Testing Me

I May Fly Away 

Testing Me Again

Here you go testing me again
just like you have since our love began.
It seems every time I turn around,
another fight and my heart again lays injuried on the ground.
How much of this shit do you think I can take
everything I do seems to be one big mistake.
If I ever did anything right,
I believe I'd die right here of total fright.
So go ahead and test me again today,
look up tomorrow I may just run away.
I can't take you driving me up the wall,
test me again it may be your last call.

Your Love

Is Where I Belong 

A Love Where I Truly Belong

Time and time again I look at you,
wondering if your love is really true.
Time keeps passing by and by,
is that love still inside your eyes.
Sometimes I can't help but wonder why,
this love of yours makes me so high.
Sometimes it scares me half to death,
inside I lose my every breath.
I try to run I try to hide,
but something holds me to you from deep inside.
What I don't know I can't explain,
but sometimes with this love it too brings pain.
I guess it's the fear of losing you,
knowing inside your love is true.
A love like I have never known,
a love where I know I truly belong.

Heaven Now Holds Her Smiling Face

Mom in the white with her sister Diane and my niece Beth 

A Birthday In Heaven

Another year has now passed by,
another year mom soars the sky.
Sixty-five she would have been today,
but to heaven she went that September day.
I know deep down inside,
moms now happy in heaven where she resides.
We miss her here on earth you see,
but I know she's were she's suppose to be.
I know we'll join her there one day,
and many more birthdays will come our way.
Today I'll send her a birthday kiss,
just to let her know how much she's missed.
Mom I hope you have a beautiful day.
A birthday in heaven were you now stay.
I know there isn't a more beautiful place,
for now they have your smiling face.
My heart is at peace today when I think of you,
because I know a birthday in heaven you can't be blue.
Love and kisses we send your way,
enjoy your birthday in heaven today.

I LOVE YA MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
