I watched you lying in bed that day

You looked so peaceful

The sister that I had lost

The doctor was waiting

Why should they turn you machine off?

You look so normal

You’re only sleeping

I see your chest rise and fall

Only its not you that’s doing it

The machines are your life now

And you only have a few more breaths to take

Why are you being taken away?

You weren’t a totally bad person

We had our fights our arguments

How could life be so cruel?

A new born baby, three daughters at home

Taken away from you on that warm sunny day

I touch your face I can still  feel you

I hold your hand and shed a tear

Goodbye my sister don’t show any fear

You will soon be with your baby

Way up in the sky so high

This is my very touching ode to fee

Oh dancing chicken
You look like Fee
She laughs at me
And has a wee

Crying into my pillow I can't scream too loud

For he might hear me, Beat me, hit me, kill me

I fear for my life,  But who can I tell?

Noone would believe me, Hes such a nice man

He held my hand while my daughter slipped away

Who was to know it was his fault?

That he kicked me until he got his way

With every breath I have fear and pain

Crying into my pillow I can not run away

For all the things he does to me

I love him with all my heart, I know he’ll stop

Not now, not tomorrow, but one day he will

I’ll have my precious love back it has never been so strong

Black eyes and bruises will heel, noone need know

Have I lost my mind? Am I going insane?

To want to stay and love him with my precious heart

Crying into my pillow I know I have to go

I need a life, with love and security I don’t want any pain

How do I escape? I need to be free

My life is planned, the wedding’s tomorrow

I need to get away, I want to end my suffering

Of course he never hit you, he's such a nice boy

That’s what they’ll say, they all love him so much

But what about my pain, my fear, my security?

Crying into my pillow and I’ve finally got away

With all my courage I’ve done it

But for how long will I be safe? When will he come?

Crying into my pillow I know I’ve made the right choice

For tonight I am no longer scared and frightened

I am just sad for the love I have lost

But how can he love me? To treat me that way

Now I can get on with my life

And concentrate on the life I have inside

Waking in the morning, wondering if today’s the day

Menial tasks get harder, longing for it not to be today

Medicines galore, just to make it not now, not ever

They don’t always work, sometimes it happens

It can be when you’re least expecting it

Eating, drinking, sleeping, playing, it doesn’t matter what

One moment your fine, then it happens

You’re on the floor, don’t know what’s going on around you

You hear people shouting, yelling, screaming

Get an ambulance, move her, leave her where she is

The inevitable has happened, today is the day

Lying on the floor jerking, half conscious, what’s happening?

Today it happened, a month since the last time

Epilepsy has returned to me, I’m having a seizure

A poem for my daughter

Two little breaths that’s all it took

For me to love you, to want you

To never let you down

Two little breaths was all you took

You were taken away from

For someone else to love

Two more breaths and we could have won

You could have kept going

Proved them all wrong

Two little breaths and I knew

That you were gone that part of life was over

I had to survive and move on

Two little breaths to shatter my world

Break my heart, tear my apart

For that’s all you had

Two little breaths, my little angel

Too weak too fight, to go on

I will never forget you my darling angel

8 years ago on the 24 May (my kians bday too) I lost my best friend. This is just a lil poem about him

Why is life so cruel, to take you away

You were so young, with so much to do

Your son, your family, your friends

We all needed you, we all miss you

Time’s flown past but do we forget

That horrible day that was your last

We joked, we laughed we weren’t to know

Memories haunt me of that summers day

Everything was going so well for us all

Why did you have to go away?

Is it selfish of me to be mad?

Not at you, but at god, at life

I don’t know who at, but those who took you away

What cruel world do we live in?

To give me the gift of life four years on

My baby is my reminder of you every day

For how can I forget that cruel May day

They took you away and four years on

Replaced you with my son who I love so much

A cruel but happy reminder of you

With my love for him I can go on

I will never forget you or the happiness you brought

In those few short years I was so blessed to know you

If only you weren’t taken away from me

I will never forgot our times together

My best friend, my soul mate, my life

This is a poem I wrote when I was 18. It was my first real time away from home and I was missing my friend. Gary if you're reading I hope you remember this

I miss you

Lying awake at night

I hear the floorboards creeping

What could it be to make such noise?

It’s the emptiness I feel inside

Without you my life is empty

No one to share my thoughts with

I don’t have a partner in crime

A friend to confide in

Do you know how much I love you?

I don’t think you do

My heart is an empty vessel

I miss you, I need you

6 more months until I’m home

do you even remember me?

Have you moved on?

Do friends ever leave us?

I hope you will still be there

My confident, my friend, my true love

This was left in my comments by plop, aka penny and think it deserves to go here too

Friends
Friends smile at you.
They like your face.
They want to be with you
Any old place.
                                               
Friends have fun with you.
Friends share
They’re glad when you’re happy---
When you’re sad, they care.
                                            

If you’re a friend
Then you care, too.
That’s why your friends
Are glad you’re you!!!

Weird and wonderful some would say
Strange and odd if you ask my mum
I like to drink, but then I'm worse
I tend to slur and make up words

Sarcastic and funny if you ask my Bex
I just don't get her, for everyone else
There's not much to get really
I don't go that deep

But sometimes I lay awake
For I just can't sleep
Counting fireman, nakid men, sheep, crocodiles
I always come back to the problems inside

Why does it happen to me?Or is it just me?
Do you lie awake not being able to sleep?
I have so many problems that go so deep
Or are they just worries that aren't so steep?

Teeth in a glass
At the side of his bed
They were taken by ants
One summers day

He has not much hair
But he let me comb and plait
What else is he for?
But to let me play

We tickled him with feathers
Until he laughed and he laughed
He wasn't really tickilish
But he let us have our way

Get on ur knees Grandad
Be our horse
Of course he obeyed
We light up his eyes

Now all these years on
He's ill himself
But he remembers the times
The laughs and the jokes

He tries his best my grandad does
But the light seems to be fading from his eyes
Don't go yet, please stay a while
Let me tell you for you dont know

How much I love you
Care for you
Respect you
I always will

The most precious thing in the world
Uncoditonal love
How do we get it?
Where does it come from?

Our parents love us unconditionally
Our children the same
We may not always deserve it
But some things never change

My son is small and vulnerable
I would never let him be harmed
I love him with all my heart
And in return I ask for?

Nothing, He's my baby
He loves me unconditionally
With all his heart and soul
All he needs is my love and support

What if I can't give this?
What if things change?
I know this wont happen
Cos my love will stay the same

A LOBSTER

oh yes thats right, for those of you who haven't ready my comments my friend wrote this poem

Oh lobster lobster all red and bright..
Do you scream when i turn out the light?..
Dont be scared or feel alone..
because in 20 minutes you`ll be done

What is a friend?
Who is a true friend?
How many of us have true friends?

I am lucky
I have many friends
And some of them are true friends

They never let me down
Talk behind my back
I can always count on them

Then there are 'friends'
Why do they do it?
I thought I could trust them

They talk about you
Slag you off
Act nice to your face

Are they jealous?
Do they have no life?
Or am I really that bad?

True friends tell you
They would never hide behind another
Never have a need to do so

Is it ok to hurt our friends?
By telling them truth?
Or should we just carry on?

True friends would rahter be told
No matter how hard it is
They know its for their own good

To my true friends
Thank you
I love you for who you are

Life...
What is the meaning of it?
Should we just wander aimlessly?
Or should life have meaning?

My life has a meaning...
He's 3 years old
Hes bouncy and bright
Cheery and Loud
He's my son
Who with all my heart I love

My Darren is also a reason for me to go on
He loves me uncoditionally
Hard times have passed
Marrying him will be the best day of my life

I love both of these men
They give my life reason and meaning
Without them I may give up
Without them I am nothing
They are my life

 

We used to talk
We used to laugh
We were best of friends
I thought that’s how it would always be
You taught me so much
Told me exactly what to say
I wish it were still the same
But someday I know it will
Maybe not today
But we’ll meet up again
It won’t be long until I see your face
In Heaven that marvelous day

For those of you who don't me, I lost my best friend in a tragic accident 8 years ago in May. You never know what you've got until you've lost something. Always tell your loved ones how much they mean to you, because you never know when it will all end....
