OLD - You make me want to believe...

I remember seeing you just the other day,

right across from my front yard.

You make me want to believe,

but I can't; I'm too emotionally scarred.

I remember the way you'd say hi to me,

when you'd catch me running down the halls.

You make me want to believe in love,

but my heart is trapped within concrete walls.

I remember the way things used to be,

before the night of February 8th.

You make me want to believe,

but how can I when I've lost all faith?

I remember the storm on that night.

On that night my faith was lost.

You make me want to believe in true love,

but how much would that cost? [...my heart?]

OLD - Fourteen Years Father.

Recently I've turned fourteen.

Nothing seems different or new.

A part of me feels missing.

Your gone and it's obviously true.

Never have we met before,

but now I will be trying.

After fourteen years,

some long years of crying.

I always did wonder,

if you left me by choice??

I haven't seen your face,

or ever heard your voice.

I wish to seek out my father,

Just to tell him, “Goodbye."

Sorry that I left Mother,

but you know that I have to try.

Time Lost.

For a time
I forgot.

I forgot
how to write.

I forgot
how to feel.

For a time
I forgot
how to love
and
who to trust.

For a time
I felt lost.
I lost time.

For a time,
time just stopped.

For a time
there was no one.

That time
has come & gone,
but there was
a time.

Once upon
at time...
