Joy, light, happy moments, big smiles, comforting arms,
Love life, but love death also. It isn’t the end, only a beginning that we don’t und…
This morning, I was so happy. Clean and ready to work. I thought you would care. Care enough to clean me,
Exhausted, Drained, I have nothing left. No more strength to fight against… I’m sinking.
Dear Man, I’m not going to pretend that I u… Pretend that everything is alright… It’s not. I’m hurt.

Peace comes: When laying under the stars. When wrapped up in his arms. When listening to bird song. When speaking to God above.
Sister I love you, but only because I have to. That’s what momma told me, when I said I hate you. I hate the way you smile,
Waking up in darkness, the moon shining through my window… With tear filled eyes I sit up and remember what I was dreaming. His smiling face shining.
