jeannie schmidt Poems

I promised you I'd always be there
When you needed me most, you were all alone
How do I learn to live with the fact
I broke a promise I can't take back
...

I took for granted, you'd always be here
Wasn't I oh so wrong
My love for you wasn't enough, to keep you by my side
I try to keep my head up high, thinking god needed you with him
...

Little white lies, that is what you say
How long do you intend to keep up this charade?
I can see behind those mysterious eyes
I see the truth from your soul inside
...

I got an invitation today, to your wedding horray!
Here I go, driving to this thing
Wondering if this is right, or wrong
The feelings I have for you shouldn't be this strong
...

The screaming and fighting never end
Most of the time, I just give in
My soul I am loosing more and more each day
From the angry words you always say
...

To my dearest Edwin Lee,
Our son is almost a man, somedays I wish you could see. He reminds me of you in so many ways, sometimes it is hard to believe.
It has been 17 years since you were taken from us, on that warm summers night.
I only hope I have raised our son up right. I did the best I could and I kept him in school and now he is off to college in the fall, funny how things work out.
...

Darkness fills this soul again. searching a way out
Is there a light at the end of this long dark road?
Afraid to close my eyes at night, afraid of what lies ahead
Afrid that one of these days I won't wake up instead
...

Sorting through the thngs left behind
Not knowing what to keep
Everyone wanting something
Nothing left here for me
...

People think they know me, little do they see
All the parts I hide so well, which is the real me
They believe that I am happy, funny and alive
Little do they know, I feel like dieing inside
...

cold dark small room
locked door, no more food
three little children, left here to play
fend for yourself is what he'd say
...
