Thoughts.....

Do you know I

say a thousand words with my eyes,

ask a million questions that arise,

hide the pain with a smile,

seek comfort that goes a long while,

want to smile through my tears,

need a friend to tell my worst fears,

share a secret and never regret,

want to meet someone I've never met,

am not scared of the dark,

want to begin again, a new start.

My heart feels empty from within,

when night falls and mom doesn't snuggle me in

I dont remember,

when was the last time we had dinner together.

I stifle a scream,

when dad says things I know he doesn't mean.

I want to

fly again,

dance to my heart's content in the rain

Lay my head on ma's lap,

and tell her the days' recap.

feel the caress of a thousand butterflies,

break the bondage,break all ties....

I dream of

talking nonsence,

a red house and a white picket fence.

someone who'll amaze,

a warm hearth and a fireplace

a heart where I stay,

leading life my way,

a gurgling bundle of joy,

to love and bind as the years pass by...

And when the time of departure comes

I ll b at peace in ur arms.......
