"What More Do We Really Need?"

Tell me you're with me, through thick and through thin.

Because I can never replace the love that I'm in.

We've been up, we've been down; always hand in hand.

For years we've wondered, "How much more can we stand?"

So just when we think we can't bear these pains anymore,

I just want to remind you, love; we've been down this road before.

Yes, we said we can't make it, and yes we've said we need help,

yet despite the struggle and uncertainty, look at how far we've dealt.

In case you forgot, I Love You; Now and Forever More.

In all the struggles that we've endured, we should never forget what they're for.

The times are going so fast, and it's hard to keep up to speed.

but If I got YOU, and you got ME; what more do we really need?

My First Blog Poem

As I was rummaging through my old papers, I came across a few poems I wrote last summer (just to see if I still had it in me!) I was a little rusty after so many years, but I tried! haha, I figure I'll put a few up that some people might be able to relate to.

"You've been hurt, battered and bruised; left out on your own.

You entrusted him with all you had, now you're all alone.

You had your heart broken and it still has not healed

Tell me this, tell me now; how do you really feel?

Do you see your life with another, or is your life just you?

When another man steps to the plate, tell me; what will you do?

Is one man at fault for another man's neglect?

You think with your mind but love with your heart; which one will you protect?

Will animosity run your life or will you live life by fear?

Are you scared of love and getting hurt; are you scared of tears?

To love is to be helpless; are you scared of trust?

You know there are other beautiful women, so are you afraid of lust?

What is it you're scared of and why is it you run?

Is it because you Hate Love from the harm one man has done?

I see your lessons learned, and you say you will not bend

but tell me this, tell me now.. When will you love again?"

In my attempts to get my poetry swag back!
