True Love

What if we didn’t have ground to walk on?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would just fall, fall, fall
That’s what you are for me.

What if we didn’t have air to breathe?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would just choke, choke, choke
That’s what you are for me.

What if we didn’t have the sun’s light?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would just be blind, blind, blind
That’s what you are for me.

What if we didn’t have words to speak?
We take it for granted,
But without it we would be silent, silent, silent
That’s what you are for me

I always seem to take you for granted,
Like a habit I can’t break
But from now on, I promise,
I’ll try my best to be different.

I loved you for loving me,
I loved you for protecting me,
I loved you for your trust,
But that trust fades for you and me.
I gave you my love and life,
But you put that to someone else,
Bud left me in the darkness to question myself.
Now in that darkness I roam,
Leaving you like an abandoned home.
That silence wrapped me like a mould,
As I gather pieces of love turning cold.
In those pieces I finally saw,
The strength I forgot I had.
I raise my voice bold and raw,
And claim the strength I always had.
Let those pieces go cold,
Because, now I don’t do what I am told.
I am a savage woman,
I dance with the flames of fire,
I rise from the ashes.
No chain can hold me,
I walk out with no crack.
You cannot break me.
You cannot define me.
You cannot tame me.
I am a savage woman,
I march with pride,
And I won’t shame to leave you behind.
I roam in the dark,
Carving paths in my own light.
My shadow marches beside me,
And I don’t show fright.
I am reading a book,
You, a chapter I once took.
I bring a lighter, with a small grin,
Where you stop, I begin.

You can forget it, but it won’t forget you.
It follows you, a shadow in your wake,
with no trace left behind it, no evidence of your fight;
the world keeps turning, your stomach churning,
yearning for the acceptance you always needed.
No amount of overturning the past will erase it,
the burning on your skin, fire blazing,
the clawing at your mind,
for a memory you knew was there the day before,
the month before,
the year before you changed.
Before you were considered mature beyond your years,
can you hear it? Still?
Like missing something that was never there,
how it felt to be normal,
your identity fixed again into one.
The shards of what was once whole, now shattered
into too many pieces to decipher,
the only remnants of what you once were, what could’ve been.

We used to talk in light filled rooms,
We used to laugh for years,
We ate we slept, we lived with joy,
No dread, no fear.

One night, it changed forever,
The words burst out from my heart,
You went away, you never came back,
We were both torn apart.

I walk in the house where we once lived,
Memories of you left behind,
Your voice echoes in the hollow rooms,
That I yearn for but cannot find .

I go to sleep to dream a dream
I hope that will come true
Every night I lie in bed and think about you
I have had a couple dreams about you
They were so very good indeed
I wish it was real life
All my dreams with you
I dream one day we will both be married
with children running round our house
We picked out their names
They are quite unusual too
River is a girl, she is 12 years old
Archer is a boy who is 15 years old
And we have one more child
This name is my favourite
Jude is a boy who is named after his father
He is 17 years old almost the same age as us
Omg look how far we have come from a stupid crush to true love
I hear a big noise almost like an alarm clock
My eyes opened softly
I turned to the side to see if he was in the bed
But when I couldn’t find him I looked in the mirror
And realised I am a child
But the worst bit about it is I didn’t finish my dream
That was my dream about my dream boy

You taught me things,
you kept me calm,
you are like a lucky charm.

I miss you boy.
You gave me a toy.

Life continues ,
we all have problems.

Thank you

He dated me
He broke up with me
I cried
Every night
Now he says
I should
Just forget
About him
But it’s hard
SO SO SO
Hard
He broke my heart
But I still loved him
He made me mad
But I still forgave him
I’m gonna show him this poem
See how he responds
Even if he has a
New girlfriend
I can’t stop loving
Him

I’m just a mother.
Trying to protect her children.
I’m just a mother.
They shouldn’t be the killed ones.
I’m just a mother.
Trying to feed her family.
I’m just a mother.
Not trying to do it frantically.
I’m just a mother.
I have to stress all day long.
I’m just a mother.
Telling my children to stay strong.
I’m just a mother.
They’re so young they shouldn’t stress.
I’m just a mother.
Israel, how could you be so careless

I love you
You love me
Us like doves
A family
Your colour is white
My colour is blue
You love me
I love you too
We are doves
A harmony
We have things everyone needs.

Dear Parents, you are the best mum and dad,
You lift me up when I’m feeling bad.
When I’m upset, you give me a cuddle,
No different from a penguin huddle.

When I’m in school, becoming smart,
Even when I’m alone, you’re always in my heart.
Wherever I am, whenever it is,
If you are with me, it is always a whizz.

You comfort me whenever I’m home,
And when I walk through the door, I’m never alone.
You give me a kiss, you give me a hug,
Your love radiates and you make me snug.

The one thing you prioritise for me is care,
And love and lie-ins are one of the many things you share.
Whenever I see you, I feel ten foot tall,
And when I need you, you always accept the call.
