Karma’s Call
Wrapped and a tattered is
my cloak of dignity,
soul uncertain of each step that I take
Conscious all the while
that you're leaving me
was the best choice we could make…
You were never meant
for a woman like me…
You possess no clue of the
meaning of the words love and
respect and have a moral code
Perhaps one day (I do believe)
Karma will come knocking
on your door, persistent and concise
For in life you have tempted fate,
know her madness…

Declaration of Independence
It hurt my heart when I let you go
Even though it was the right thing to do
It didn’t feel like it no, not at all
I thought I’d always be with you
But you never followed through
Not even one single time
So now I’m done with you
Being with you was an uphill climb
I should’ve known it was too good to be true
I should’ve seen the signs
But I’d look into those eyes of blue
Those were the downfall of my design
You left my life in devastation
Teetering on the brink
Always excuses and explanations
I was blind, I didn’t think
But I’m better now, I’m coming back to me,
A better person than ever before
A woman who insist on a heart that is happy
Or I will walk out the door

Tortured Soul
Tortured soul, when the realization hits you
like a ton of bricks, head on
You feel like a freight train has taken over
and it’s running you down
but there’s nothing you can do to get out of the way.
Life is supposed to be better than this,
empty promises as deep as a well
Lost dreams as vast as a
the ocean and as faraway from reality
as the moon
my soul is absolutely terrified
How could I have been so foolish?

Return
Knowing your touch
will be as whisper soft
as midnight, that magic hour
when the world is
slowly floating past
You lean close to kiss my forehead,
making me feel so safe
In your arms, I will drift as
smoothly as a ship bound
for passion's shore,
lost in the fog of bliss
In a world where ecstasy is
not a distant memory
but rather the mindset
of what we are together
Traveling life's path around
any obstacles, hand in hand
I see beyond the mountains high, to
a time and place of contentment,
Known as the book of We,
it starts with chapter 1
welcome to when
