What Happened

by

Priscilla Villanueva

When I was just a child only a few feet high,
I thought that you were everything I though you'd never die.
And as I got a little older I saw my mother fade,
You washed away within your tears and only the bitterness stayed.
I haven't ever hated you but I don't know how to say,
My mother isn't here any more there's nothing more than gray.
What happened to the woman that used to hold my hand?
What happened to the mommy that made ne understand?
What happened to all the strength I saw in everything you did?
What happened to the love you gave that noone else could give?
I never thought I 'd miss the day that we'd see eye to eye,
And I never thought we'd miss the chance to say our last goodbye.
So what happened to the my mother why'd she leave me this way?
Why'd she go and lose her mind and why'd she stay away?

Two Hours

by

Priscilla Villanueva

Two hours ago I knew you in a bubbly sort of way,
Two hours ago I saw you in a happy sot of play.
Two hours ago I talked to you and together we laughed so much.
Two hours ago I hugged you as we both departed lunch.
Two hours ago I saw you.
Two hours later your gone.
Two hours ago is too long form now.
Two hours now too long.

Darkness

by

Priscilla Villanueva

When I close my eyes at night I do not see the dark.
I see a cripple on his knees waiting for a spark.
I see the clouds in the sky.
The burning gas flying high.
I see the pain that's dorment now.
One so many ignored some how.
I feel the child that yearns for love.
I see the galaxy up above.
And when I close my eyes dear child I'll tell you what I see.
I see everything you don't see, I see the inner me.

Someone by my side

by

Priscilla Villanueva

When ever I feel all alone I crawl into my bed,
I bring my knees close to me and rest my aching head.
I rock myself back and forth trying to dry my tears,
But the hands I use aren't warm enough to chase away my fears.
I tell myself not to cry for it will be all right,
But the heart these words come from can't calm all that fright.
I hug myself tighter when I feel each tear drop fall,
But the arms I use aren't tight enough to soothe and comfort them all.
Alone I can not finish the job.
Alone I still cry.
I need a friend to help me out; someone by my side.

As Time Flies By

by

Priscilla Villanueva

I never ment to hurt you but you got hurt never the less.
I never ment to lose you or for you to love me any less.
I'm all alone and so afraid.
I'm by my self and in true pain.
I had my fun but can't justify the things I did as time flew by.
One little lie is all it took.
One little push and my whole world shook.
The whole universe can't free me now.
To many mistakes I've done some how.
A million aplogies I give to you.
A million goodbyes that can't be true.

The End

by

Priscilla Villanueva

Please smoke your last cigarette or drink your last beer,
The end will be coming soon you've got nothing else to fear.
Some will just sit around thinking of their past, regeretting all the things they've done until the end at last.
Others will take action bringing happiness to all,
Should I help or just sit around waiting for us to fall?
When the end finally gets here the strong might just survive.
But never the less hold your breath and get ready for a big dive.
It's true the meek shall inherit the earth, I will be one to own.
There will be others with me and I will never be alone.

A War

by

Priscilla Villanueva

A world that's filled with nothing but hate.
A cloud that no mortal can penetrate.
A field of flowers that's burned to death.
A child that knows and is put to the test.
It's like a war, a war, a war;
People are killed evil is bore.
It's like a war, a war, a war;
Emotions are twisted a heart is tore.
A sun is cold a moon is bright.
The stars stop shinning there is no light.
Clouds stop raining but still they come.
It's all over now what have we done?
It's like a war, a war, a war;
People are killed evil is bore.
It's like a war, a war, a war;
Emotions are twisted a heart is tore.

Getting On

by

Priscilla Villanueva

Just when I thought I'd felt it all along came another pain.
Just when I thought I'd Figured it out along came a sudden change.
Something tells me that every day emotions will change and grow.
Something tells me that finally I have to start letting go.
Every day is a battle and who knows if I'll win.
Every night it's easier to rest and settle in.
For now I'll go from day to day,
There's not much more I can do.
Later it will be easier and I might be over you.

Night

by

Priscilla Villanueva

Night is ending faster and day is coming soon,
The stars are shinning slowly and the clouds present the moon.
The air is slowly chilling the wind it starts a breeze,
Every one is drifting off to sleep with such the greatest ease.
The water stops from flowing birds fly to their nests,
The faint sounds of crickets as the sun finally sets.
The world it keeps on spinning and night it still goes on,
Every one is quiet waiting for next dawn.
I sit and write through all such calm and hear not one word,
And yet the silence yells at me a sound not gone unheard.

Break

by

Priscilla Villanueva

To break the cell I've been trapped in I've got to surpass my fear,
I've got to leave the pain I feel and learn to keep the trust they steel.
To break the chains I'm binded by and to release my soul to be free,
I've got to see past all the clouds and catch the dream I once did see.

River Dark and Deep

by

Priscilla Villanueva

Sitting by the river bank an a soft wooden bench,
I sit and think of perfect skies and green grass with a white fence.
I sit by the river bank and watch the fish swim,
I feel the wind cool and calm the ripples small and thin.
I dip my hand into the water and sway it to and fro,
I take it out and let it drip,the drops fall very slow.
I stand again and raise my hands as I try to touch the sky,
I stretch and feel the air so cold alone me and I.
I lay upon the grass so cold it's touch so soft and kind,
I feel the dirt behind my back a discomfort I can not find.
I see the trees a dark siloet and
I see the sun as it begins to set.
The stars are bright and the sky is dark,
I feel the night a tender mark.
I close my eyes and fall asleep,
The night so calm and wonderful by the river so dark and deep.

Goodbye

by

Priscilla Villanueva

I hate you yet I love you,
I kill you yet I help you live.
I'm leaving you for ever I've got nothing else to give.
I helped you through all the times I could
And now your on your own.
Our souls were not agreealbe that at least we've shown.
I'll miss you in the future,
But the present is in the past.
I'll get over this sooner or later maybe not too fast.
I hope you manage to keep on going
I know it must be hard.
But all the bets are off and I've played my last card.
Goodbye now and for ever
I'll keep you in my dreams.
I wish things could be diffrent but you've got your own little schemes.

To Mom (Part 1 of 2)

by

Priscilla Villanueva

For all the times we fought...
For all the times we've yelled...
For all the times I hated you..
For all the times I've failed...
For all the times you've needed me
And I never once did try...
For all the times you cried for me...
For all the times I lied...
For all the times I ignored you...
And wished that you were dead...
For all the times I pushed you away,
When I should have hugged you instead
For all the times both good and ill
No matter what the cost,
You always seemed to care for me
and keep me from getting lost.
For all the times you punished me
and I'd just sit and stare...
For all the times you tried your best
And I wasn't even there...
For all the times I caused you pain I'm sorry can't you see.
I love you your my mother you are so precious to me.

To Mom (Part 2 of 2)

by

Priscilla Villanueva

For all the times you yelled at me...
For all the times I cried...
For all the times we fought so much...
For all the times you lied...
For all the times you cursed my name..
For all the times you broke...
For all the times you smashed my heart..
For all the times I'd choke...
For all the times I'd tried for peace
But you wouldn't agree...
For all the times you'd yell at them
Then take it out on me...
For all the times you thought me wrong...
For all the times I was right...
For all the times your thick head blew...
For all the times of spite...
For all the times I'd sit and weep
For you I knew I should love...
For all the times I lost my mind
When you would push and shove...
For all the times through out my life
That you have caused me pain...
For all the times my only comfort came
When it would start to rain...
For all the times you wouldn't try...
For all the times it's too late...
I can not love you any more
My heart is filled with hate.

Do I ...

by

Priscilla Villanueva

Do I ever seem to hurt you unintentionally?
Do I ever make you angry and frustrated with me?
Do I ever make you wonder who I really am?
Do I ever make you scared in that life that you damn?
Do I ever not notice when some thing is really wrong?
Do I ever seem insensitive when I'm trying to be strong?
Do I ever make you regret being together so much?
Do I ever make you wonder why you love me so much?

To You

by

Priscilla Villanueva

I love the way you brush my cheek with the back side of your hand.
I love the way you make me feel that you will always understand.
I love the way you fill my heart with words I can not speak.
I love the way my breath is lost each time our lips do meet.
I love the way my eyes have seen the way you look at me.
I love the way I can watch you sleep when there's no one there to see.
I love the way you speak to me when no one else can hear.
I love the way I sleep at night and dream that you are near.
I'll love you in the future as I have so much before.
I love you more than any thing you're my heart and my world.
