Angel of Hope

I walk towards school and the sun every weekday
to look down to only see a shadow with angel wings ahead
it amazed me
to realize that death had followed me
the next day I did the same
realized that this angel of death and darkness
had giant BLACK wings
it saw me and flew into the sunlight
disappeared with such a sight
years later now Im in high school
this angel of death was now gray
thats when I realize that this angel of darkness
had stayed in my shadows to this very day
not death or darkness but maybe my hopes
we the one who was really gray

Loving and Curious

I wonder if he really loves me
I hear his voice everywhere I go
I see him in my dreams
I want him to be there
I am loving and curious

I pretend he is here with me
I feel his hands with mine
I touch him softly
I worry that he'll change
I cry when I feel he doesn't love me
I am loving and curious

I understand we have our problems
I say "I love you"
I dream about him every night
I try to make him feel the same way
I hope we are together forever
I am loving and curious

The One

You're the One

You’re the one I wanted to trust
You’re the one I wanted to see
You’re the one I wanted to kiss
You’re the one I really missed

You’re the one who made me smile
You’re the one who made me laugh
You’re the one who made me happy
You’re the one who would think this sappy

You’re the one that kept me hoping
You’re the one that kept me dreaming
You’re the one that kept me going
You’re the one that left me unknowing

You’re the one who could keep me warm
You’re the one who could keep me safe
You’re the one who could always be there
You’re the one who I thought would care

You’re the one I always thought the best of
You’re the one I always wanted to be with
You’re the one I always was disappointed by
You’re the one I knew would make me cry

You’re the one that was my hardest goodbye
You’re the one that I knew it had to end
You’re the one that would hurt the most
You’re the one that I had held so close

Given Chance

Somehow it exists in my own little world
Knowing it will always be a curse without sign
Indeed, can only be seen and be understood
In someone's truthful sight and fearless tongue

Aware or unaware, indeed I made a mistake
Hopelessly without your guiding light
I am afraid, lost and greatly in disguise
Believe me if only I could undo the past
I'll do it before your gentle heart starts to ache

Sooner or later I know my life would be in the next
Bear in mind without your sincerest forgiveness
I am miserable and in great loneliness
Without you, I know I will crawl
Before I will learn to walk again
Believe me when I say this to you
You are my life and I still needed you

If given a chance
From now on
I will hold your heart
As gently as I can
Just to love and keep you
Once again…
Forevermore…

Special Love

I've never really understood
Nor thought it could be real
For the special love you've shown
Can't be measured in distance nor in time

Each moment with you
Seems timeless and filled with hope
You give me life and indeed
You are my life forevermore

No matter what, no matter where
All I ever hoped and prayed
Is for us to be always together
From this day until our next journey
For I belong to you and you
Were destined to be with me

My Life

I don't know what to do with my life
Do I settle down, become a good wife
Or do I follow my many dreams
As I listen to my family's screams
It's not an easy decision to make
And I could end up making a huge mistake
I don't want to disappoint anybody
Though, in the end I might disappoint everybody
I thought I had my future planned out
But now there are few things I am sure about
I am no longer sure what tomorrow will bring
Maybe new friends, a job, or a ring
My life has become one big blur
This is not the life I would prefer
I want to go back to when life was black or white
Back to when the right answer was bright
Back to the time when I knew what to do
And which of my friends I knew would stay true
I am running out of time to make my decision
I hope my future is everything I envision
It's time for me to take a break
This is what I think about as I lie awake
I do not know where I belong
I don't know if I can handle being wrong
I want to follow my heart wherever it may lead
Cause I know deep down it will let me succeed

- Breanne Cope

New Life

unexpectedly
without warning
a world
I'm no longer winning

It rains
It stops
then you smile

one fine day
in my sweetest
morning delight
sleepless even
at night

without a fight,
you conquered me
where dreams
seem so right

you give life
and add colors
in my dying sight
I feel the adrenalin
in my veins
my heart goes faster
as you appear
you let time
pause and disappear

your lovely face
at first sight
lasts forever

your passion
captured me by heart
the day you smiled
making life worth
to survive

oh dear God,
let me have you
as I grow old
through this life
my loveliest sight
who gives light

don't ever go,
let your light
shine the path
of my long lost life

for I will be
the knight
who try to fight
and love you
with all his might

for I will offer you
my life, my heart
just to have you
at this side
to be my precious
and only life

dear God, let
my one and only
heavenly light
who shines, give hopes
in my darkest fight be
the only meaning
and center
of my one last
new life...

Stay

These past weeks have been confusing
I hope it is not you that I am losing
Sometimes I get scared and have some fears
These fears quite often lead to tears
The fights, the words can hurt so much
When all I want is to feel your touch
Not the touch of your physical part
But more the touch of emotional heart
Sometimes it seems like we both doubt
But you're the one I cannot live without
Some things we say don't sound the same
Like saying goodbye to just a name
We look at each other and it is love that we see
But look deeper and see what I'm trying to be
I'm trying to be the person you never had
To put a smile on your face even when you're sad
I want to be there for you through thick and thin
Especially when stress causes your head to spin
I want to be that person that you go to
And make you feel better by saying I love you
Because love is not just a word to me
It means much more than words of three
It is more a feeling that I cannot explain
It's a feeling at times that I cannot sustain
But love is different when I'm with you
It feels immense and feels so true
Please don't worry it will be just fine
Give me your hand and put your heart to mine
We have something that most people don't know
And because of that our love will grow
So baby please trust that you are the best
Very unique and far different from the rest
Do not take this poem in a negative way
All I want is for you to stay
Our love is complete, and so strong
There is no way we will go wrong
Let's make a one from the number two
Stare in each others eyes and say I LOVE YOU!!!

- Emanuel Sifuentes

True Love

Words will never describe how much I love you
You're the greatest and our love is true
These past months have been confusing
I hope it is not you that I am losing
At times I break into tears
Because in my mind I have fears
They are in my head, and over and over they play
When all I want, is for you to stay
We both seem to be sensitive now
But why now? And how?
We fight so much over little things
Then the next minute your giving me wings
It might not seem that way all the time
But when I do one thing wrong, it's a big crime
I know I mean everything to you
And trust me baby, I love you too
We will get through this
By talking or maybe a simple kiss
Our love is so strong
And there is no way we will go wrong
Please trust me and have no doubt
Because it is you, that I cannot live without
You bring me happiness and sunshine
All I ever wanted is for you to be mine
Now I have you, and I'm doing wrong
I guess emotionally I'm not that strong
I'll do anything for you sweetie pie
I'll get down on my knees, and even die
How can I treat you this way, so bad
It makes me so mad, but yet so sad
I used to be so perfect and so nice
I would never ever think twice
But now I feel like I'm the worse
It feels like maybe it's a curse
You don't understand how much I try
And sometimes I ask myself why?
Inside I know its my fault, and my problem
And you probably ask yourself, How do I stop 'em
My heart is crying in the middle of a smile
This has been happening for while
I am not lying and this is true
But the reason is not you
So instead of walking away
Think twice, and stay
Because great things are destined to happen
Just be patient, and don't ask when?
Baby you are my heart
And without my heart, I will fall apart

- Emanuel Sifuentes

Devoted

I spent time thinking of you
And how much I love you
Hours and hours a day
Just staring into the blue
I spend days hoping you love me
And hoping you will see
That I love you
More than anybody
I spend weeks smiling
As you return one to me
I sparkle inside
I still hope you will see.
I spend my life thinking of you
And loving you forever
And just dreaming
How we go right together.
But then I realize
I'm just sadly devoted to you
Devoted to you

Tears of Sadness

feeling sad
left out
not known why
now tears start
to fill my eyes with sadness
why did I deserve this pain
after spilling my feeling to you
I wait for your call
and your text
still nothing
I just fall asleep
feeling sad
hoping happiness
would come
after I wake up
but still no sign of you
longing
to hear your voice
to rescue me from this
tears of sadness
pain that you cause
waiting and waiting
as tears start
to roll down my face
I lie here
tears falling down endlessly
as sadness takes over once again
so I cry myself to sleep
hoping to feel better
when I wake.........

- Patrick Madison

Just You

I wish you knew how much I loved you,
I wish you knew how you made me feel.
You're always on my mind,
I think about you all of the time.

I love your wonderful smile,
I love your beautiful eyes,
But I hate that we don't talk no more
And the way you act like I'm not alive.

I can't get over you,
I miss all the times we had together,
All the memories that we shared,
Forever in my heart you will be there.

Someday I hope you'll love me,
Like I love you now.
I hope that someday comes soon,
Cause I'm lost without you around!

My Heart

With all my heart

I can still remember the days
I've been hurt so many times
A hopeless world of broken promises
So much suffering and the pain still remains
Knowing I like you and I've taken the risk
So confused and I don't know how to deal with it
For I know you feel the same, you've been hurt too

Why trust and love seem fading in our world?
Does good deed now seek an audience?
Like charity waits for its final recognition
Need some time for awhile before it heals
Even though the scars will remind me of you
I've gambled everything, my hope
My life in the palm of your powerful words

You've given me wings and took me high
Like an angel lifting a human soul to heaven
Afraid, yes I am but trusted you with all my heart
Suddenly in our journey you let go for no reason
Letting me fall in bottomless pit of unknown abyss
If only you took me where you are
I am sure I could love you with all my heart

Now I am crawling in the valley of death
Without no one to hold neither to cry on
All I got is my dying dreams and a token of hope
I drink with my tears to just quench my thirst
Oh, shameless agony of a begging heart
Take me to the light, so I may find my way
Let the sky dim for it's burning me, so I may rest
And may the rain pour from careless heaven
So I may wash away the dust of my shivering soul
And hide away my worthless tears of my misery

Someday, somehow things will fall into its places
I bear that in mind for you are being treasured
Where the maker would take me to my final destiny
I would proudly say, I've loved and saved one soul, just one
A life who dares to make a difference in my journey
In a world built for those who understand
The worth of a meaningful living
No matter how unbelievable or crazy I am to those
Who ever understand the fulfillment and joy it brings
For I will still love and to trust someone
Whatever that might be and even it will take away
The last breath of my dying lost soul
