Your Disguise

Why play these games

Why pretend you don’t my name

I know you know me

I know you remember my name

You are not the person I used to know

You have changed you talk so slow

Some days you are good

Others you’re just doing the best you could

I wish if I could get this one wish granted

Would for your agony to end

For this silence and pain you’re going through

To leave you and act like lets pretend

Let’s pretend this is not real

Let’s pretend like you are the person you were once before

Not the one now trying to escape out the door

Or in the corner crying on the floor

It easy looking from the outside in

You are sitting there looking at me with a huge smile a grin

But could anyone imagine what you are going through

Could anyone imagine the life you have to struggle through?

Time is a healer

You will get better they say

No ones knows if this is true

Something’s just don’t go away

I like to turn to you and hope you will recognise me

I know this is alright for now

As you can still do this beside me

Follow me and imitate me

You try to these things on your own

But sometimes you feel all alone

The lost look it in your eyes

The empty stare you can not disguise

So for today we won’t worry

About what the future might bring

For now I will enjoy

Your wonderful smile and your cheeky grin

Hold my Hand

I can not remember when i first saw you

I only remember i was glad that i did so

I was lonely until you came into my life

You became my secret friend

You held my hand

As I played with my toys you would join in

Help me find the pieces of my puzzles

You made me grin

It felt good to have you there

We would brush my dolls hair

I would bring you everywhere with me

Even tough i was the only one that could see you

It didn’t matter

We had had fun and laughter

One day we were in the furniture shop

My mother called me

Come along now hunny don’t stop

I asked her to wait for you to come too

Poor mother looked at me

And asked bring who?

My friend mammy she is here with me

She played along, she entertained me

I knew by her face

She could see

So I asked her to hold your hand

A test to her sanity

She held out her hand to my friend

And proclaimed her voice come on girls lets pretend

This action made me happy

Even tough she knew this was not real

But for that special moment

She made me happy

As I look back now to that moment in time

I wonder what made me think of you

What made me smile?

I thank you for keeping me company

I hope my daughter gets this opportunity 

Butterflies Inside

I remember a time

When life was so simple

Things were straight forward

As cute as a dimple on your face

Walking through the fields

Escaping all of our worries

We sit and talk endlessly

I wonder do you still remember me

When you caught my hand

My heart nearly stopped

At first I refused to hold yours back

I nearly fainted nearly dropped

This was nothing like I had felt before

Butterflies in my tummy

I walked on along side you

I tried to ignore

But I knew I felt the same way inside

My emotions were been pushed

To the back of my mind

To a place where I thought they would hide

Soon enough these feelings

I felt deep down inside

Would find there way out

I felt i could trust you

In you I could confide

We sat underneath the old oak tree

The swing right above us

Your hand on my knee

Hands placed together

Loving eyes meet

A glace comes over them

Then comes the stormy weather

Brushing against the purple wild heather

We run as fast as we can

We find shelter in an old rusty van

We jump in the back

Snuggle close from the cold

You then go to kiss me

I don’t mind I feel bold

As you keep me from harm

In your arms so warm and safe

I feel your heart beat fast

I feel our lives entwine

I know we will spend our lives together

As our chemistry combines

Make me feel Good

I feel your moves

I feel your groves

Running along through my fingers

As i brush you along

You're cool and calm

You keep me going

Cold when I touch you

I love you against my lips

You relax my mind

You replace my thirst

I go for you as you

Were there first

Your my delight

My guilty pleasure

Nothing compares to you

Nothing else can measure

So when I need you

I know you will be there

You’re my delight

You’re my guilty pleasure

Throwing it Away

As i lay amongst the wilted flowers
The sun shines down on me
I think of times gone past
Of what i could of been

Where would i be now
If i took that chance you see
I should of been somebody else
but now i am only me

I had it all the money, cars and happiness
sure what else was left
I put it in the gambling pot
I wasted on a bet

Sure it was a dead cert win
I could not loose
I have a better chance
Of singing the blues

Come on i shouted
Run like the wind
It wasnt to be
I spent all i could spend

I took a risk
Thats the price you pay
When blowing your money
happiness and wealth away

So as i lay here in this field
In the wilted flowers you see
The pot at the end of the rainbow
Doesnt really bother me

Where have you gone

Why do I wait for you to come back

I should walk out now

And never look back

The pain you inflict over and over again

Life is just not the same anymore

Not since you decided to run away

Not since you decided to walk out the door

Leaving my heart torn on the floor

So when the rain falls from the sky

You know im somewhere

Thinking of you

Having a good old cry

I hold your old baggy shirt

It smells of you

I clutch it close

Oh how I wish it was you

They say that times a healer

That I will move on from here

But to forget you after all this time

Just doesn’t seem real somehow

As I turn to watch the waves crash against the rocks

A familiar voice makes me stop

Hello there Kathy

This voice calls to me

I hope and pray when I turn

It is you I see

There you are before my eyes

Eyes so big and blue

A smile to my surprise

You thought about me night and day

You were always on my mind

Oh how I wish I could really touch you

Your memory is all you left behind

I had seen you as clear as day

As if you had never gone away

But it was only my imagination and wondering mind

That captured your image in my memory

How I miss you

You were so kind
