Leaving

Butterfly wings
Whisper softly next to my ear
As I watch you near
A whippoorwill sings

Softly gazing upon the snow
Feeling it land
Wishing that I could once again see sand
Please don't go

How I wish that it said stop
But all it says is yield
On that country road next to a field
Growing a farmers crop

Don't leave me yet
I was just opening to you
Like a dove beginning to coo
We made a complete set

Please don't go.

Hope

I wrote your name upon my wall
The day before I would end it all
But as the time came for that fatal fall
I kept thinking back to your name on my wall

I remembered when you gave me a bear
The first person ever to show me care
The others would walk by without a stare
Now it's all different because of a bear

The kindness deep inside your heart
Came out like a song; the finest of art
The sweetest thing ever, not a little bit tart
Just that bit of kindness within your heart

Now I am standing, shedding a tear
Telling you what I hold most dear
I write what I want, without any fear
And now I look down at that single tear

I wonder if life is worth it
everday, getting verbally hit
Why am I looking at the puzzle of life, wondering if I fit
Is this small life really worth it?

But now I see
What you truly must be
An angel sent to save me
This I can clearly see

So now I'm alive
So happy that I didn't make that dive
To be lost as a statistic in one more dark archive
It was your name that kept me alive.
