Ghosts

[PassionsEcho]

Why is that I see you
when my bed is lonely at night
Why is it that I see you
in the first rays of morning light

One year ago you left me
but your ghost still lingers on
Shadowing and haunting me
in a heartbreak that's there each dawn

Not a day goes by still
when I don't think about you
You were all that I treasured
and now I know not what to do

People say to forget you
to move on with my own life
But they don't understand
the agony of my strife

Moving on is not a question
when you were embedded in my heart
And all I ache and long for
is for us to no longer be apart

You were my every fantasy
my every waking dream
I had everything I cherished
until it fell apart at the seems

And like a ghost you haunt me
with memories so tender and sweet
That nothing can diminish
the agony of loves defeat

 

[PassionsEcho]

What is it about me
that keeps happiness out of reach
Why can't I have that someone
that makes my life complete

I am a kind and gentle person
full of love and caring deeds
And I long to share with someone
and fulfill each of their needs

I want to wake up every day
with a smile upon my face
Instead of in my cloud of misery
that makes me want to hide from the human race

I know there's someone out there
and I wish they'd find me with gods grace
I can't take much more of this
feeling as if I'm the only one in this horrid place

 

[PassionsEcho]

I heard you voice earlier
when I least expected it
It brought back all the longing feelings
the pain felt quite deliberate

I can not turn a corner
in this house that we once shared
Without still seeing you standing there
with all your actions that showed you cared

Every nook and cranny
still holds a ghost of you
They bring me to my knees
and make me feel so blue

No matter where I wander
whether it be outside or in
The ghost of you still finds me
and I fall apart from within

How long will your memory haunt me
and keep me afraid of moving on
How long will your ghosts confront me
and keep my walls so strong

 

[PassionsEcho]

I pray to god almost every day
to please come take my pain away
To give back to me the strength of trust
to give me the courage in life to adjust

I pray to god almost every night
to guide me out of my lonesome plight
To give to me a working heart
So that I can make another start

I pray to god almost every hour
to let me move on without a view that's sour
To give myself to another without fear
and to not be afraid of someone being insincere

I pray to god almost every breath
to give me the courage and not be so scared to death
To give to me the gift of trust
I need that courage, I must, I must

How can she think so little of me
that a demon I appear
set out to search and destroy
her tender loving care

Why is there so much doubt
when honesty is all I give
Why does she think there's others
when it's for her I live

Why does she push against me
and throw obstacles in our path
When all she's ever wanted
is there if her heart would do the math

When have I ever given her
a reason to doubt my word
Why does she listen to others
whose voices say things absurd

What have I ever done
that makes her mistrust me so
Why can't I convince her
instead of her condemning us to death row

Why are there so many people
that find a joy in anothers pain
That feed upon the thought of lies
and then listen to their dishonest refrain

What did I ever do to deserve
this mortal blow
To give her the ability
To doubt my every word so

 

[PassionsEcho]

I wish I could talk to her
and make her believe in me
to get rid of all the distrust
to chase away the anger
I wish I could talk to her
and ease her breaking heart
to make her see and understand
that I am a good and loving soul
I wish I could talk to her
instead of fighting all the time
let her see inside this heart of mine
where no lies can hide from her eyes
I wish I could talk to her
and take away our pain
I wish she could believe in me
instead of running away all the time
I wish I could talk to her
and make her believe way deep down
that all I've ever said to her
was as true as the setting sun
I wish I could talk to her
and remove her every doubt
show her the integrity in me
and to know that's what I'm all about
Iwish I could talk to her
maybe just one more time
maybe this time she'd believe in me
and know the truth of what I am and what I feel.

 

[PassionsEcho]

I feel like something broken
a discarded piece of trash
That once had a shiny luster
like a light shone uopn glass

I feel about as worthless
as a broken toy from youth
that sits around and gathers dust
waiting for someone to find my truth

I feel like I've been tossed aside
from the caring of the human race
they are blind to all that I am
and laugh at me with a leering face

I feel like something unsavory
that makes everyone turn away
when all I want is to be treasured
each and every day

 

[PassionsEcho]

What is it in human nature
that makes us yearn for love?
Is it something our families taught us,
with their abundance of acceptance and hugs?

Why do some people long for it,
while others seem so carefree?
Why do some need its presence,
to complete all they feel they can be?

Is it just that some need more nuturing,
from a kind and loving soul?
What is it about human nature,
that makes some need that loving role?

As a parent and mother,
I worry about my children.
I wonder how another,
can harbor such ugliness within.

How can a perfect stranger,
decide they have the right.
To be a families rearranger,
and run with your child in flight.

What gives any one person,
the idea they can take a child.
To not give a thought to what they've done,
Or the child that they've exiled.

Do they have no compassion,
for the pain that they have caused.
Do they care not that thier actions,
were long ago outlawed

I don't think I'll ever understand,
how some can be born this way.
And strip a loving family,
From the life they had yesterday.

When I say I love you,
and offer to share my life,
I'd think you could see its value
when compared to the daily strife.

You see it's not always easy,
to love one born just like me,
for placed upon our shoulders
are the glares of society.

I was taught the difference,
to recognize the sin,
that loving someone like me,
and the hell it would put me in.

So when I say I love you,
I'm risking my afterlife,
to share a place with you here and now,
and by making you my wife.

I can not help who I love,
or what sex that they may be,
but I'm going to love with all me heart,
for all eternity.
