A single tear

A single tear rolls down my cheek
And enters a world, so dark and bleak

A single tear falls towards the ground
To leave its mark, without a sound

A single tear, from my eye it slips
A salty taste across her lips

A single tear could change the world
If only its stories could be unfurled...

One Last Breath

One last breath,
as I tear my eyes from yours

One last breath,
as I let my arms fall from your sides

One last breath,
as I say my goodnights

One last breath,
as I walk down those long porch stairs

One last breath,
holding it,
hoping you will take it from me...

One Wish

If I could have but one wish
I know what it would be.
To have your hand upon my heart
For all eternity.
For if your hand were lying there...
there upon my heart.
You would feel the way it slows
Whenever we're apart.

You would feel it beating faster
Every time you say my name.
You would feel the way it tightens
every time I feel your pain.

If your hand were there upon my heart...
You would feel each beat it skips
Once for each taste I'm given of my sweet baby's lips.
You would feel the breaking of my heart
Every time you feel dispair.
And you would know the way my heart grows
With every moment that we share.

If I could have but one wish
This is all that it would be.
For to feel your hand upon my heart
You'd be joined with me.

This poem was actually written by my mother. I have always loved it, and have actually commited most of it to memory. I wanted to post this becuase it is how I have been feeling latley, hopeful. I hope that I can speak out too someone through her words...
