Exit Sign

The first poem I wrote for my friend Ryan that committed suicide.

There is a sign on the wall
That tells me where I'm going.
I leave the crowded hallway
As I approach closer
To the place
Where the sign is.
I'm almost free.
Free from everything
But
Nothing at all.
I then began to wonder
What is left
And how he would have thought.
If only he knew
Where his life was going to be
The next day.
If only he could have
Said good-bye
As he approached the sign
One last time.
I won't forget him
Or the lesson he taught to me.
Which now appears so clear.
Don't take life for granted.
Remember your memories
But don't make them your life.
For you may never know
What can happen
And why it does.
Show your friends that you care
For you may never know
When you leave the world
And go to the exit sign.

I'm Your Girl

I’m your girl not because Of how sexy you are, Not because you pay my way With my money being tight, But because when you hold me I feel the world melt away, I feel the dimples show Because I cannot stop smiling, But because when you hold my hand, And you kiss me softly, I feel love and passion, Dreams and realty, Hope and bliss, I’m your girl not because of how You open the door for me, Not because of anything material, But because of every non material thing, Your kindness, Your sweetness, Your smile, Your voice, Your eyes, The way I glow, The way I smile, The way I feel beautiful Being around you, Feeling the wonder that is us, I’m your girl And was the moment I held you, The moment I looked into your eyes, The moment you kissed me, I knew than and I know now, That I’m your girl.

There Are Those Moments

There are those moments, Those moments that seems to last forever, The type that stretches across, Across through one light to the next, From one dream to another, Making everything feel surreal, As you stand, As you feel, As you close your eyes, As if to try to feel, The moment from this one, And the moment before, As everything falls into place, In that moment, That moment that seemed so fuzzy, Yet so true and clear, There are those moments, Those moments that is etched into the very depth, Very depth of your being, Where you feel them at the harder times, Where you feel them at your most difficult times, Where you feel them as if to say, Just keep on holding on, Just keep on going, This is not the end yet, There is still another moment to be had, There is still another life that needs, Needs those words, Need that moment, You feel inside of your heart, And of your soul, There are those moments, The moments where you feel, That you truly cannot go on,
