Return my sparkle

You see the smile,

I feel its pain,

And the accused stands there,

Being guilty of everything but giving me the love I needed,

Sentencing me to a life of imprisonment within my own jail cell,

As each day passes,

I feel as if I was the guilty one,

Giving you what I didn't want to,

Letting you break down that barrier, behind which I stood,

Little did I know,

That you weren't the person that was going to save me from falling,

But you were the car whose headlights flashed so brightly in my eyes,

Leaving nothing but tears crashing in to my soul,

Stealing each breath of mine while I lay there,

I suddenly became a statistic that day,

She who loved, she who lost, she who felt each part of her heart breaking,

As though it was physically possible,

The illusion of an happy ending, was all that it remained,

An illusion,

This made so many like her live life in its utmost delusion,

When you give your heart away once,

The owner of the sparkle in your eyes then belongs to someone else,

And when they leave, they take that sparkle with them,

That is why you only need to look into the eyes of an individual,

And you will be able to see just how much they have loved and more importantly just how much They have lost in life,

For that's why we all walk without seeing,

Sometimes the truth you see in someone's eyes,

Is more than you could have ever expected,

So frighteningly honest and bare,

And one day, when you're looking at your reflection,

You may not even know whose eyes you're looking into.

Faith

As hard time knock at the door,
I find myself running to the floor,
As this door starts to open, I look for the outdoors,
When I find I can not run from this knocking I wish I could swim out ashore,
As the times in life become harder to cope with I feel myself crashing into the dark downpour,
I see the tears of my loved ones fall like a river stream, a scene of water flowing, one of which I use to adore,
Now washes away any sense of hope,
As I pray to the skies, to lift this hurricane that is destroying everything around me, the people around me, as each breath becomes difficult to inhale as this manmade river begins to drown us, I think it cant get any worse,
As I kneel towards the skies, I do not let my faith break,
How can hard times in life stop me from believing,
For what is happening, is only a test, its apart of my destiny,
I can feel the faith slipping from my fingers, but my hands do not let them slip far enough,
My faith does never break,
Through this tunnel of darkness, I can feel the light, without seeing; I can see the light,
I can touch the warmth of better times ahead,
I never let my faith break, I never forget the power of prayer,
As time passes, as these tears dry, as this hurricane resides,
I find myself walking in the life of joy and happiness, a place were sorrow has never stepped foot in,
Gods children must never forget the power of prayer,
Your faith, even if you leave it, it never leaves you,
Never underestimate the power of prayer never underestimate the strength that god bestows upon us, hardships we go through, however the strength to see the light is also given,
Faith, is a unbreakable strength, where even at its weakest it is the most powerful force.

Snippet Poems

Let's dance the night away as if it were the last dance we ever danced.Let's emrbace as if it were the last time we ever touched

Morning may have passed, the sun may have risen, but im still seeing the stars in your eyes

The most beauitful thng in life is puting a sparkle in someones eyes & the worst is being responsbile for puting the rain in somoneones eyes

Shadows

Each time I close my eyes I feel the weight of my worries drop to the
base of my heart,

The pain that was so clearly evident in my glazed eyes falls to the wall within me,

The wall that surrounds me,

I'm unsure of my own actions,

Unsure of my own feelings,

Feelings that betray the words I so easily speak,

Each time I close my eyes,

I feel the weight of my worries reach my soul,

The very soul which tries each day to find the strength to live
another day,

To face yet another twenty four hours of agony as to how someone can still breathe when the air was taken from them so long ago,

Glazed eyes,

Strained smiles,

Broken laughs,

Everything seems to be tainted with the aura of darkness surrounding
ones steps,

Where once who's shadow use to be seen behind them,

Now seems to walk step in step with them.
