Smile woman smile, smile baby smile.
You have been made with love and care.
Smile woman smile,
God smiled when he made you,
...

Every time I close my eyes I remember
I remember once upon a time when we used to be friends
When a hi would bring joy to each other's face and a bye tears to the eyes
Those where the good days
...

Last night I sat on my bed and wept,
My heart was so heavy,
I have been disappointed again,
Broken and hurt by the same person who said they wouldn’t
...

Along a dusty road with dried vegetation on each side
The tall grey trees with dust covered leaves stare
A dreary melancholy stare
...

The way you look at me, it makes my heart melt
I looked into your eyes and my heart swelled with love
My chest is so tight, I can't breath
I never ever thought I would ever love another human being this way
...

i prayed for you
even when you despised me
i prayed for you
even though you hated me
...

Oh dear mother, we have so much to say to each other yet none of us speaks,
We have so much time but little to say,
It hurts me to see you watching me go bad,
You watch hoping that you could live life for me,
...

why are you doing this to me?
do you take joy out of toying with my heart?
why would you give me hope when you know you can never be my savior?
does my breaking heart amuse you?
...

I am afraid of myself,
afraid of opening up to show my true colours
i am afraid of myself
afraid to put myself out their and let loose
...

I watch the sunset and all the stresses of the day melt away
I feel an untold peace and serenity

All the chaotic thoughts give way to peaceful thoughts
...

I never saw you
I never touched your soft skin
I never felt you
I never looked into your eyes
...

Morning broken by reality's fist
swollen faces, frowning mouths
greet that first glorious ray from the sun.
...

Like the color of old ragged cloth
My tears fade
Eroded pain washed away like loose soil
Depart my soul
...

whispering swallows in the springy dusk
whispering a tale of hope and love
whispering good tidings of rekindled passion
passion for life, goodness and faith in humans
...

If I died today i would cry
i would cry for all the time i spent being sad
when i could have been smiling
...

Glimmering teeth
Your smile lights up my heart
Scent so sweet
My heart drifts away on your aroma
...

When I was young I used to dream that one day I would meet this guy
He would be charming, exciting, popular, handsome, and fun to be around
I dreamt that we would have kids and he would love me hopelessly
...

Sorrow has become such a huge part of my life,
The pain I have felt in my short life is enough to scorch a thousand men to ashes,
When I was young I had so much hope and love,
I was full of trust and forgiveness.
...

When I think of you, I am reminded of a sweet and sour taste,
You evoke in me the most wonderful feelings,
You bring out traits in me that I never knew, it’s like a discovery every moment that I think of you,
A brand new discovery of self,
...

Oh boy how i wish i could just go back to being ignorant
Atleast then i'd be happy
They say it is bliss, ignorance
The veil has been lifted off my face and i can see clearly
...
