when you smile, do it slowly
so your smile sinks in.
when you walk, do it slowly
let your hair blow in the wind.

I was sitting out in gateway
Watching hummingbirds outside,
My friend came out onto the porch
And said “you wanna go for a ride? ”
...

have you ever wondered
why you were unhappy?
and came up with a mindful of blank?
have you ever taken a walk to clear your mind,
...

to remember is to reminisce,
upon the good and bad,
to think about the things
that long ago you had,
...

Preciosa, why do you cry?
Are you sick or are you lonely?
Whenever you’re alone
Do you think?
...

to forgive, is one of the hardest things you can do
it hurts like a dagger in your heart,
you get scared and weak,
when you're close to forgving
...

You come into my life,
Humble and unique
Searching for my heart
Love is what you seek
...

take a look around, do you see what i do?
listen to the crowd, shouting your name.
how does it feel, to be on that stage,
so lonely yet so surrounded.
...

from a loving man,

i will take out the trash
i will stop drinking,
...

She stares at its beauty
The coldness of it radiating between her thumbs
She holds it closer to her face
To see the magnificence more clearly
...

Drifting away the day you left,
Broken to pieces I lay
Shortness of breath keeps coming on
Just dreading the mournful days.
...

sadness, swells inside,
it cries out from every corner of my body.
it's screams shatter my nerves and hold my conciousness at bay.
the pain seems unbearable, crushing my insides, like they were nothing.
