Changes

by

Jaime Salafia

The pudgy cheeks the toothless smile,
The diper leaks, the scattered toy piles.

The barbie dolls with clothes and combs,
The pre-cough medicine crys and moans.

The paper bag lunch, the designer clothes,
Finding friends boys and other woes.

The late night calls and MTV,
The beautiful who stands before me.

The flowing hair the bright red lips,
As you move out the good-bye kiss.

I Wonder What life Was Like Without You

by

Jaime Salafia

My life is yours and yours is mine

When not with you I spend my time

Thinking of you and things we do

My whole life is lived for you

Where we go and what we see

Without you what my life would be

The love from you is what I need

I love your warmth and strength and passion

Your genle touch with such compassion

Your loving kiss upon my lips

When not with you you're what I miss

I love you and I thank the lord

And wonder who could love you more

Since life is love I live for you

I care for you and things we do

The way you act the way you talk

A ring from you is what I sought

I live my life for you yes you

I think of you all day through

Without you my life is pain

Just like a day of endless rain

I love you and I hope you know

I hope my fealings never go

If I didn't have you who would I be

When not with you I long for thee

I love you lots this you know

My life is yours just let it flow

What you do when we're not together

When I'm with you it's sunny weather

I love you so much it hurts inside

What would we do if our fealings die

How I'd live without your face

The way you touch me with such grace

Life is yours and yours to keep

Love is yours it runs real deep

This one thing you must understand

The key to my heart is in your hand

Anger

by

Jaime Salafia

Sometimes anger burns deep inside
Places where people can't see
Infecting happy thoughts and dreams
And changing what I like about me
Lots of times that anger blows
Exploding into hate
That hatred turns into fire
Which spreds and burns my soul
People don't know me anymore
Because all they see is hate
Usually anger and hate lurk deep inside
But now they have surfaced
Exposing themselves and hiding me
I am no longer myself
This all could have been avoided
If that comment wasn't made
That rude and insulting remark
Which turned into the anger spark

My one Question

by

Jaime Salafia

As I lay here
I can't help but wonder
Why aren't you here with me?
Why is it that you sit there
And look down upon me
like a child with a sno globe?
Making chaos and doing nothing but watch
watch us scurry about helpless

Why do you sit there and watch my life?
But yet you refuse to become a part of it?
How can you sit there knowing that I will make mistakes
but once again pay no mind
You do nothing to help me or to prevent them
And when I do make a mistake why do you punish me?
Why can't you become a part of me?
As I am to you?

The begining of Pain

by

Jaime Salafia

He walks out with no goodbye
never forget the look in his eyes
never forget the pain in your heart
never forget the thoughts in your mind
never forget the way he talked
never forget ththe way he walked
out of you life
out of you mind
never to return
never to come back
but then again do you want him
want him in your life yo cause more pain
wain him in your life with his self like and vain
Not anymore no more relationships that end in rain
Rain from my eyes pain in my heart
A brand new me this is the start

Nature’s performance

by

Jaime Salafia

The familiar summer sounds beckon me to the porch
where I look onto the world of nature.
Concentration and attention is all to the animals,
who put on a show for me with sound and sight.
And as I look on I wonder why I can’t be as they seem, free.

The cool summer breeze blows through my hair.
The chimes on the roof sing and cause an outburst,
Causing a pause in the play.

The clouds above me shift and the spotlight,
The moon shifts and everything is seen,
As I watch the cast, keeps me guessing,
For I have on clue how the saga will end.

As I watch the world seems to creep up to me
As if I was it’s prey, There is peace all round
But yet an unspoken harmony
Develops between me and the animals.

The crickets play for me a beautiful song on their violins
As the owls keep a tempo with their hooting.
This melody brings me peace and ease.
And I as I listen the burdens of the world are removed,
And I realized I am free

the moon looks onto me as her children,
the stars come onto the stage.
But a feeling of fright comes across me
as if I was touched by a cold hand

I hear a lone howl of a wolf ,
before silence falls and
I soon feel uncomfortable
The animal world is passing a rumor
one far behind my back

I know now that my presence is unwanted
So I return to my world
But I open the window to let the epilogue
of this grand play seep into my room.
And little peace along with it

All Alone Once Again

by

Jaime Salafia

All alone once again
No shoulder to cry on no hand to grab
No one calling to see if she is okay
No money left for food that day
No note saying when they had gone
No time left for when they would return

All alone once again
No friends around no one who cares
No one left to brush her hair
No one there to tuck her in
No more stories to be told again
Nothing left but loneliness and pain

All alone once again
Now she is grown she is still alone
Now she is old she is still alone
Now she is gone but she is still alone
When they were here they never were
Now she is gone they are with out her

All alone once again
No one is here to say good bye
No one was even there when she died
No one knew that she had gone
No one here to sing her song
The one she knew so well
One of sorrow and pain but mostly of being
All alone once again

Lonely lover

by

Jaime Salafia

All alone in a word full of love.
She knows love is near and,
she knows when it comes happiness will follow.
Everywhere she turns someone is happy,
enclosed in a falsehood of security.
Thus the question arises.
Is she looking for love or is it looking for her?

She turns her head only to see,
that others around are like birds in the springtime.
Clutching to each other with the hope that this is the one.
But she knows nothing of this.
She has never been in love and if she did
she’d be let down.
She looks for the love she reads about.
The love she goes to sleep dreaming of.

But love in the real world is not so sweet.
Love to her is like unchanged beauty nature
Pure and sweet and natural.
Love in our world is like a blanket if security.
To keep you warm and safe,
one to keep you free from looking.
Yet she thinks and hopes for the love,
she goes to bed dreaming about ,
the love she reads of in the novels you buy from the drug store.

If she only knew love has came and gone.
As if it were the breeze,
but she is hiding behind her glass door of imagination.
Therefor she cannot see.
She knows not the essence of love only of fictional obsession.

I wish I knew

by

Jaime Salafia

EVERYTIME I SEE YOU IT'S DIFFERENT EACH TIME
I LOOK AT YOU IN A NEW WAY
BEING AWAY FROM YOU HURTS SO BAD
YOU LEFT ME ALONE, ALONE AND SAD
INSIDE I KNOW THAT YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE ME
BUT I CANT NOT THINK YOU WILL
I FEEL SO HELPLESS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
BUT I CAN'T SHAKE THIS FEALING THAT IT'S GONNA END
I KNOW THAT I SEEM PETTY AND JUVINILLE
YOU'VE ONLY BEEN GONE 4 DAYS
WHY CANT I BE HAPPY WITHOUT YOU
WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO HAPPY WITH YOU?
i HATE THIS KNOWING THAT I CANT SEE EACH DAY
NOT HEARING YOU VOICE
NOT HOLDONG YOUR HAND
THIS IS SO HARD FOR ME TO DO
I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM WITH OUT YOU
THIS IS PROBALLY JUST A PHASE OF MISSIN YOU
BUT I DONT WANNA FORGET HOW IT WAS
BEING WITH YOU
DANCING WITH YOU
TAKING TO YOU
HOLDING YOU
EVEN FIGHTING WITH YOU IS BETTER THAN THIS
NOT KNOWING HOW YOU FEEL
NOT TRUELY KNOWING THAT THIS IS ALL REAL
IT FEELS AND LOOKS THAT WAY
MAYBE I JUST FEEL THIS WAY ALONE
PLEASE DON'T FORGET ME AND PLEASE DON'T LEAVE
I JUST WISH I KNEW
WILL IT END WILL IT FLOURISH
I HAVE FALLEN FOR YOU AND I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN GET UP
BUT WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING WHILE I'M LYING HERE

Amazing

by

Jaime Salafia

I look into the skys and my veiw is blocked by the towering maples with their sunkissed leaves.
The music pumps into my brain and the words melt like chocolate into my eardrums.
The cool wind brushs my face and blows through my hair.
How amazing it is,
the little things, the tiny details that seem to brighten my day.
How amazing it is,
when the resolution you hope for comes about.
How surprizing it is,
when the small things don't bother you.
How surprizing it is,
when the large disruptions seem to be none.
When the road to self discovery had been chartered.
When the path that you have chosen is the right one.
When the one you love has returned the favor.
When the life you live is complete.
How amazing it is.

If it's not yours

by

Jaime Salafia

You live life according to society
You breathe in it's dirty air
You stand down wind from the chemicals free flowing
The political veiws opposing yours are tossed into your brain
But no one tells you that you can choose to ignore them
You instead let these horrible people tell you that you're to blame.
Rules.
thrown from their mouths savagely taking my indiviuality
they tell you to sit down and shut up.
Forget what you stand for and why.
Ignore their threats if possible.
Contents my implode under pressure.
Whoops. Sorry.
Were you sitting here.
Sorry i didn't see you.
Boom...crash...giggle
I didn't know thats what TNT does.
It's okay.. We can join as one.
It wasn't okay before it is now.
Jim Crowe.
Don't worry it was only a dream.
Somehow it's become customary to hate.
Let's roll.....whats that about
Roll like we can walk.
Wait let me tie my shoe. I'll flip my way there
Look what I can do!
Hey thats my paper.
But i just grabbed in from the machine.
Full Athletic Scholarship.
Look Ma I'm goin' to skool
And we ain't gotta pay a stitch. Ah huh yut.
Dont touch that man he's dirty.
Spare Change!
If it's not broke.
What if I'm broke?
Does that make me a bad person.
Freeflowing thought
Connection none.
