I wrote this poem after a senior boy was killed in a drunk driving accident my freshman year.
"Wake-Up Call"
Today you all cry,
and wonder why.
Everyone's life was changed last night.
It must have been an awful sight.
You say, "He was a great guy,"
and, "Why did he have to die?"
But now you go on to have your bash?
You start to drink,
and don't even think.
You hop into the car, but why?
How many more will have to die?
With another dead,
more pain will spread.
Will you ever learn?
Oh, how it makes my stomach turn.
Drinking and driving is not a game.
How could you be so lame?
I just hope you awaken,
before your life in taken.

Throwback Poems Part 2
I wrote these poems about 12 years ago about a boy I had a crush on...
"My Heart's Plea"
You said your actions were for me
So you wouldn't break my heart when you leave
But I know it was a lie,
and that you're just afraid of love,
scared of a broken heart.
Well, your cowardliness is breaking mine.
When you said we would be friends
you were just being kind,
for we haven't spoke in weeks,
and you say I annoy you.
I know that's not true!
I know you like me.
You can't hide love,
You're just afraid to show it
And you run away.
You're building a wall around your heart
You can't run forever.
Your own logical brain will be your demise,
unless you learn to follow your heart.
Logic tells you high school flings are useless.
but my heart screams, "It is better to have loved and lost, than never loved at all!"
"Relapse"
My heart aches "I love you"
but my mind screams "No"
I thought I was over you,
but I guess that's not so.
Your silence showed me it was not meant to be,
but then you showed up joking and laughing with me.
You put on your charm and drew me back in.
Why are you doing this to me?
I want to move on,
but I can't.
There is a never-ending force that keeps pulling me back
Until this feeling will pass,
I can not be at rest.
In a never-ending battle I give continuously,
but get nothing in return.
I opened my heart,
and you gave a shrug and turned away
but it seems like my love is here to stay
like everything else I'm sure it will pass
I'm getting impatient,
and time moves so slowly.
"Get Out"
You're always on my mind,
it isn't hard to find.
I close my eyes and see your face,
an image I can not erase.
I just can't seem to kill,
this hole in my heart I need to fill.
I open my eyes and you're still here.
I can see you everywhere.
I can't get you out of my head.
Sometimes I wish I was dead,
that would be the only way to get you off my mind.
A thought of you isn't hard to find.

Throwback Poems Part 1
These were written about 13 years ago about a guy I had a crush on in high school.
"Dream Come True"
Will my dream come true?
To be lying next to you
in your loving arms to adore
and little junior sleeping next door
with wedding bands around our fingers
to remind us of a love that lingers.
A love that grows stronger
is for what I hunger
I want a love as such.
Yes, I love you that much.
"It's True"
I love you
Yes it's true
When the day starts anew
I'll be thinking of you
You've seen the pictures that I drew
You're reflected in everything I do
Yes it's true
I do love you.
But you don't love me?
Can it be?
I don't like the things you say
It wasn't suppose to be this way
I spilled my heart
and your words hit like a dart
breaking my heart in two...
You just want to be a friend,
now my heart needs to mend
Yet, still it's true
I love you!
I can't compete with the one you like
so I guess I'll just take a hike
I must admit defeat
But my heart will go on to beat
Because it's true
Yes, I still love you!
"The End"
I am here
You are there
All I can do is stare
My heart is bare.
It wasn't suppose to be this way,
but here it will have to stay.
I sit like a deer grazing the grass,
but a poor, pathetic, ugly lass.
I'm closing the door
as I thought it was before,
to let no love in,
because I will never win.

Our Song
I wrote this poem for my hubby soon after we met:
"Our Song"
Life is a song we sing.
It has it's high notes
and it has it's low notes.
As we wonder through life
we pick up notes
an attempt to construct a melody.
Until now I was missing a note
You are that note
You complete my melody
Together our hearts
construct a symphony.
You are my soul mate
straight from Heaven.
I love you!
